Cherish Family!

Hello friends,

Well I have to say that this year has been a bit crazy for me & my friends. One of my friends just lost her father and buried him today, this was truly the hardest thing she has had to do.
So with this in mind: Remember that the holidays are about spending time with our Familes, Friends & the lord. WE never know when our loved ones will leave us.Tell your family everyday how much you love them and cherish everything they do. Family & Friends are the greatest gifts you could ever ask for.

{Amanda our prayers are with you}

Thank you & Happy Holidays,

Love for T!M HOLTZ!!!!!!

Hi everyone,
I would like you all to know that T!M Holtz was in California>Carson City doing a stamp show. While he was having dinner all his belongings were stolen out of the trunk of his car!!!!! His MAC, handmade watches, new ideas and many more was stolen. Please visit his site:
www.timholtz.typepad.com
show him some love, he would greatly appreciate it. The Holidays are tough b/cause there is always some one trying to steal something that does not belong to them. Be SAFE everyone for the holidays and treasure those you love.

Thank for you time,

Big Lots $2.00 Deals

A few days ago before the Scrapbook Expo I went to Big Lots in Plant City, Fl. where I live.
I always go there b-cause they carry lots of differnt scrapbook items for an AWSOME price. Below are the items I purchased for $10.00 + tax of course. Each item was $2.00 and that was a steal for the items I bought.

So go and check out your local Big Lots to see what you FIND!

Expo GOODIES!!!!!!!

Ok ladies,
So I told you I spent about $200.00 at the show, well here is some of the stuff I bought.

Orlando Scrapbook Expo!!!!!

Well gals I made it to the scrapbook expo!

It was at the Gaylord hotel {Gorgeous}
The expo was very small compared to all the others I have been to, but i did find some great deals. The dollar booth was amazing, it was filled w/tons of Creative Imaginations epoxy stickers and lots more. I believe I spent around $200.00 dollars oh YEAH!!!!!!
I also took 2 classes from Tattered Angels: 1>Beach Bingo 2>Beach layout both using {Glimmer Mist} which I love. I will post pictures of what i purchased and pictures of my classes. Till next time Keep Creating.
