What I Did While I Was In Utah



I'm finally home and back from Utah.....it was a wonderful trip and great to see old friends. I went for more then that though....I went to check everything that I can't seem to find here in California.....boy have I been missing out. My first stop was Hobby Lobby (It took two trips) The first trip was short, only 30 minutes but the second trip lasted much longer.....lets just say I know the store backwards and forwards now. They had some great deals that you will get to see in my second video. The second place I got to go was the Scrapbook Expo and they too had so great deals...the best I think was DCWV...they had their own booth and way discounted paper packs. Then we went to Roberts crafts...now Roberts crafts was nice but they didn't deals I had hoped...I did find a couple of things that I just couldn't live without....but it wasn't my favorite store. My last stop on trip was to Riverton, Utah and for all you stamper you know what is there.....yes Stampin' Up Headquarters.....and as many of you know I recently became a Stampin' Up demonstrator.....so it was really cool to see where it all comes from. It was a jam packed filled little vacation filled with lots of fun...I will have another video for you maybe later tonight or tomorrow....Have a great night!!!

Today we are off to Utah....We are going to spend some time with our friend Pete. Dean is going for the fun of hanging out with his friend, secretly I am going so that I can go to the craft stores that they don't have in California. Is that wrong? I love our friends and will have a great time with them, but can't help but think about all of those store just waiting for me to enter.....Hobby Lobby.....Roberts Crafts....These are just two that I know of if anyone knows of any other store PLEASE just let me know.....PLEASE!!

I Got My Bottle!!!!





I don't even know where to begin.....At first I wasn't sure how much I would like this bottle swap thing.....I can for certain say I have changed my mind. It is wonderful. It's wonderful to share with someone you don't know things about yourself and for them to do the same.
Julie you out did yourself. Thank you for being so very thoughtful in everything you picked...I think that is what makes the bottle swap so special. And a special thanks must go out to Yoliebean for putting it all together. Thank you for all your hard work!!

For Dean it's a time to visit with his old friends and have some guy time for me it's time to see store's I have never seen before like Hobby Lobby and Roberts Crafts.
