BONUS DAYS ARE BACK!!

Good morning everyone!  

Here were are in July and its time to start packing for our trip to Greece! I am so grateful to have earned this trip with my Stampin' Up! business because of customers and downline like you! THANK YOU!!  We fly to Rome on July 5th and the Greek Isle Cruise begins on July 7th!  My husband and I are a bit apprehensive but also very excited to go and I'll be sharing pictures on my Facebook page and hopefully a few on my blog.

It's been a while since I've blogged and I'm trying to get going again.  I must admit that with the loss my 16 year old son, Adam I haven't felt much like creating.  I did do one class last month and I found that it is indeed helpful to my healing process to get out into my workshop and play.  It was also wonderful to be with friends (not just customers)...every hug made me stronger!  I love you all so much!

I have something exciting to share with you right now and later this morning I'll have a "Make-It Monday" creation to share with you...so come back!
