Here is one of the Make & Takes we did at Convention this past July BUT I didn't make mine there so I brought mine home and I had a chance to play this weekend since I got all my swaps done and ready for Founders Circle .
The circle on the Kraft box are from the Daydream Medallions stamp set

The circles are from the inside of the stamp images ~ Make sure you save those when you get this stamp set .
I stamped the circles on the box with Versa Mark ink pad # 102283
For the FRIEND on the note cards I used the stamp set called Affection Collection in the Holiday catalog on page 35
(w)# 127946
(c)# 127949
I used the Primrose Petals classic ink #126858 and the Early Espresso classic ink # 126974 on the note cards .
I love love love this bow on the top of the box.
I will have a video for you on how to make this adorable bow when I get back from Founders . So stinkin cute!!

I am leaving this morning for New York to meet my hubby as he crosses the finish line . I had plans to get things ready for my blog this upcoming week BUT the power went out Friday afternoon until yesterday afternoon so my big plans were put on the back burner (more on that below.)
Hubby's "window " time of arrival is between 6:38 pm tonight - Tomorrow at 8:30am.
If all goes as planned we both should be back home no later than Tuesday evening .
I have a couple projects ready to post while I am away BUT since we lost power I wasn't able to get much else done . I did film my videos for this upcoming week already... Just need to be back home before Thursday to upload them for you . Plus I have my club girls coming over Friday so we better be home before Friday .
This last week following my hubby on the Hoka Hey tracker has been so addicting . The Photo above are some other peeps addicted to the tracker map . Actually this was taken at the check in LA. at the Renegade Harley Davidson and everyone was watching for the riders to roll in AWESOME HUH?
Renegade Harley Davison dealer was their 2nd check in on the route BUT not only that they also gave drinks / snacks and offered sleeping areas to all the riders. I thought this sign was cute .
They even offered a FREE wake up call which for this rider was at 4pm . LOVE THAT!
I loved hearing from some of you who were following my hubby too ....That makes me smile .
Between my cousin Ruthie and Jessie we have been chatting about making TEAM RICH #725 t-shirts so Jessie made this one on Tuesday with a Sharpie . Ruthie wanted me to stamp some shirts BUT I need a Hoka Hey stamp for that .
It has been so AMAZING But I can hardly wait to hear all about this journey when I see my man .
I am very Thankful that these 4 guys took hubby under their wings for this amazing adventure . Thank you Bob, Dan, Frank & Walter
(top photo)
By the time he reaches the finish line in New York he got to ride through
NV, UT, CO, NE, KS, MO, AR, LA,
MS, AL, TN, GA , NC, WV, VA , PA & NY.
By the time Friday night rolled around I could really tell Hubby was missing me by the photo he sent me ( above ) LOL!
Here is my hubby's sleeping quarters friday night . Which by the way was probably the only time he got a decent amount of sleep (more than (3) hours I am sure .
Tarp over his Harley and stakes in ground to hold tarp in place to give him and his Harley shelter as a storm passes through .
All riders have to sleep outside NO hotels allowed
PLUS he took his 1st shower since leaving Vegas on Sunday so that in itself made him feel so much better getting cleaned up .
Yesterday afternoon they were going to be hitting the "Tail of the Dragon " OMG!!! google that when you get a chance . The guys are VERY excited !!!
Thank you all for your prayers for my hubby and all the riders this past week . It has been an adventure they will NEVER forget .
Hubby is already talking about doing it again next year since next year will be the last time for the Hoka Hey and next year will be one for the record books I've heard . .

Thank you Connie !
The next goodie comes from me Dear Sweet friend Meg Daves she gave me this bow maker at convention . Her hubby is making & selling them as well .
I thought it would be fun to do a video while drawing for the special gift ( Paper Snips Holder )I was offering while I was away at convention .
To be entered in this drawing everyone that placed an order ( no matter the amount) with me while I was away at convention had their name entered into the drawing HERE .
Thank you all so much .
I wish I could give everyone of you one of these BUT ...I ran out of Fabric Adhesive sheets and got just a smig left.. So much fun to make .
BIG hugs are going out to my friend Laura Milligan (photo above ) who presented on stage with me in the I Am SAVVY class who did "Fabric" for her presentation at convention .
I asked if she would mind if I made these for my downline who attened convention for gifts at our dinner night .
I know I mentioned I had (8) to give away BUT I have (2) extra so a total of (10) are going to be given away today .
The Paper Snips Scissors # 103579 holders will be going out in the mail this morning .
I will come back later this weekend and post the names of who got one of the Paper snip holders since I want them to be surprised while watching the video .
Have a Fabulous Thursday!

Here are some amazing pics I took during our "I am Savvy" Presentation at Stampin'Up! Convention .
We had a total of (5) presentations during Convention all the same presentations BUT there were rotating classes so that's why there were (5) .
( Video's coming soon of the items I did ).

It was so AWESOME words can NOT express the whole amazing experience I had from day #1 when I got a phone call from Donna Griffith at the SU! office asking if I would do the presentation to the very last day on Saturday when Convention was over .
It didn't end with Convention There was even more ...Donna sent my Hubby a beautiful card that my hubby read to me Saturday night over the phone which I was crying from the moment he told he had recieved a card from her .
Donna is such an amazing woman and friend ! Funny tid bit about Donna and I is that she told me she gets mistaken for me since our names are so very close ( sad to say are not related ) . Love that !
Our convention started with going back stage on Wednesday early morning to set up our tables for Thursday Morning presentation .
After that we (3) lucky girls had a tour of backstage which was so wonderful ! SU! does such an amazing job for all of us at convention and everything that goes on backstage would blow your mind !
PLUS we ( 3) girls had our make up done by SU! make up Artist Jana ~ WOW!!
I had to take a photo of SU! Video guy Tom who makes us all look so fabulous on the big screen .
They have (2) green rooms back stage one for Shelli and her family ONLY and the other one was for all of us to put our bags and anything else we brought with us .
This photo is all 3 of us girls ( Laura , Meg and I ) standing in front of the 2 green rooms.
Here is the main stage door we all came out of when we were announced on stage by Donna Griffith .
On the last day of Convention ( Saturday) we had (2) presentations back to back so we set up our table for the last presentation right on main stage the other times our tables were brought back stage for us to adjust .
While we were out there I snapped these 2 photos of what it looks like from main stage . See the timers/ clocks ?
Well each of us had 15 minutes to do our presentation and there were a few people that told us if we were to go over the 15 minutes the floor would open and we would fall through LOL !
Needless to say the timer/s and those large monitors looked very intimidating from up there beside the hundreds of fellow Demonstrators out in the audience .
We all wait in the Bull Pit ( see photo above) for our 5 min call from the producer.
The photo above is of Matt he was our go to guy for all the kinds of things. He was one of the guys removing the tables from stage for us plus him and Jana were the ones standing at the door to main stage helping us with our nerves and making me laugh .
Love them !
( I wish I had a photo with Jana ( Yes we had 2 fabulous Jana's back stage with us )
When we finished our last presentation on Saturday we were able to take a bunch of photos on stage and also a group photo of us girls with Donna and Angie ( Producer ).
I can not say enough about how amazing everyone we got to meet and work with for our presentation . .
Staying with our Convention theme for 2012
I Am ... Very Grateful to be apart of Amazing company.
I Am.. Very Thankful for the new friends I have made through this experience .
Thank you Donna & the SU! crew for all your support and faith in me to be small part of Convention this year .
I Am ... Forever changed !
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
P.S
Special Drawing from Convention will be held tomorrow via video.
