For my cold Northern Friends

 

We are having a cool spell here in the Tropics but nothing compared to what many of my friends are getting. We called our St. Louis friends and they have been battling with ice and downed power lines, in mnay cases for the second time this winter. We called E's mom to make sure she had power and she was fine. We're so glad his brother and his family live so close to Mom.

Only 9 more days until the Wonderful Ms Linda and her amazing crew (Dee, Miss Elle, Michele et al) throw a wonderful event here in Florida called Winter Retreat. Hilltop Memories (www.hilltopmemories.com) is both an on-line and traveling store but is the home of a great crop and retreat company. I am so exicted to be teaching, once again, for this company and working with these people.

Barb, Gerry-Anni and I will be leaving here that Friday and heading up to get Kip in St. Pete aroud noon. Now, if we leave too early, we may just have to kill some time on the way with a stop or two at some of the scrapbook stores that litter our way up to Kip's. I think the girls are going to really enjoy this retreat. They met several of the 'regulars' at a Sarasota crop and commented over and over how very welcome everyone made them feel.

Off to stuff some kits for my class and for the February Hang Ten kit which is called "Beautiful" and is done in the lovely blue Bohemia papers with pearls, rhinestones, inking, painting, rub ons, flip pages and the "must have" Biscuit books! I'll put up a pic or two as a teaser early next week in conjunction with the reveal at www.scrapbookshack.com on Jan. 24.

Have a great day and stay warm!
