Well…the last few days have been very very very hectic as I am preparing to leave for Arizona early tomorrow morning. I am going to attend Creative Escape for the second time and I am I can’t wait to get there! I will be dragging LeAnne along with me and we will both be greeted by several other friends when we get there. I should be back next Tuesday and then I’ll turn right back around and leave on Thursday…yes..Thursday September 11th of all days - to go to Minnesota to teach classes for Flair Designs at the upcoming Archivers Scrapfest! I am totally ecstatic about that as well….I have never been to the Mall of America but it looks entirely to big and tempting!
But before I go, my good friend Donna has seen fit to Tag me yet again…so I must oblige and share 7 things about myself:
1. I love to eat dark chocolate and popcorn at the same time! I’m serious - you should so try this!
2. My favorite perfume is actually a rub on oil from Kumba called, “Persian Garden”. How did I come to find this scent?? Well actually, LeAnne and I went to Austin a couple years back and the waitress at PF Changs smelled sooo good so I asked her what she was wearing and it was Persian Garden. So we went to Whole Foods Market the very next day to find it!
3. I seriously want to attend “Ranger” University
4. I must always have my toenails painted!
5. My grandfather is an episcopalian priest and for several years I was an acolyte at every Sunday morning service!
6. I have always wanted a pair of over the knee boots! ….you know like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? I have no idea where I would wear them…but I want them!
7. I saw M.C. Hammer in Concert…lol….Okay seriously I was totally only there to see Boyz II Men, but it was definitely and interesting concert…and no…I never had a pair of the MC Hammer Pants!
Happy Creating!

Hey woman!
It was great seeing you at CE! I had a great time; just wish it hadn’t gone so fast.
Your blog is great! You need to be a professional photographer! Wow, your pictures are great! What camera do you use? Of course, I think it is the person using the camera and not the camera! You have an eye for it, but you have great subjects to photograph, too! Beautiful family.
Love the scrapbook pages and projects!
Hope to see you soon,
Lori
