The Theme Tree of 2010

Hey Bloggerettes,

In My Humble Opinion Ramblings:

The theme of my Christmas tree this year was "May the bluebird of happiness fly up your nose". Note the peacocks, bluebirds, false nose and glasses, bi-planes, blue lights. There are so many blue lights that you almost have a seizure when you walk in the room and see the tree!

We had a full house for Christmas dinner - even a young woman from Costa Rica joined us. She is very brave - I, myself, would not go to a foreign country and sit down to a huge meal of unknown foods! What if they didn't have Heinz ketchup and the food wasn't white???????

Hey Colleen, guess what's coming??????

Hey Bloggerettes,

I am expecting the Tim Holtz "Vagabond" machines on Wednesday. I pre-ordered these in August and I already tried to re-order from my wholesaler but I can't get any more right now. If you followed the "12 Tags Of Christmas" you will be glad to know that I have been amassing the product to make them. Odd things like mica, blossom branches, white UTEE, sticky back canvas, black core'dinations paper, etc.

If I find more unusual goodies in the shipment I will let you know.

CIAO for now!

It's been a frenzy..........

Hey Bloggerettes,

It's been a frenzy at the store lately. It's hard to keep ahead of the buyers. The Tim Holtz "12 Tags of Christmas" has created another buying spree of his product. Are you following his TAGS? Yes, I will be doing classes on them starting in mid-January. Better sign up quick!

I received a small order from Maya Road - there are some very neat products (ribbon, flowers, envelopes, wooden bingo markers, tin boxes, canvas albums, 8x8 chip albums, stick pins, kraft tickets and doilies) . Their ribbon is fabulous.

I'm expecting a few orders this week - I'll keep you posted.
