Happy Mother's Day

This was, as my pal, Kipster would say, a "Big Biscuit" weekend. Not only did the kids wine and dine me on Friday night and we find out our house will be ready mid to end of Oct., but I got an invite to teach at Ruban Rouge. This gives me two locations where I can teach in the St. Pete/Palm Harbor area. I'll start classes before we move and either stay with the Kipster or my dd, Kristen, when I schedule a class. As a matter of fact, my first class at Whims in St. Pete is scheduled for June 17th (my mini album coaster class with Wild A papers).

This is one of the trays I bought with my gift certificate from my kids at Ruban Rouge. The trays are a tad over 12x12 and have optional inserts like the one pictured here. I bought the inserts on an earlier visit. I think I may keep my chip board letters in this one or some of the ephemera that I keep piling up on my desk. More below: OK, can I tell you how happy this tool makes me. All the coasters for my mini album coaster class require that I drill a hole in one corner. So, I either had to get out my dremmel and drill away or my honey's power drill (and we all know how protective men are about their power tools, right?). This tool will punch the hole in a snap and requires so little pressure it is unreal. Color me happy!
And this was my pretty pick for this week. I can't wait to start playing with this lovely stuff. I will have to hunt far and wide to find pictures "worthy" of actually cutting this paper and using these great rub ons and chipboard letters. K.Ology rocks!

Hope all you Mom's have a great day...my weekend was wonderful thanks to my hubby, the renowned E, my kids and my friends. Big smoochies to all.
