Hey guys! First post back in Atlanta – and it’s a “no card – no sneak peek” post, so sorry. And it’s a double-whammy of bad news – alas, no video tonight, either. My craft spot is just as bad as I remembered and I just can’t get it together for a video. I’ll do better next week, I promise! 🙁
Man – is it nice to be home! Had a great flight – the upgrade to First Class was worth every single dime! Watched Book Club – new-ish movie with Diane Keaton, Mary Steenbergen, Candace Bergen and Jane Fonda. Have you seen it?? I really enjoyed it – fun plot, good dialogue. And Don Johnson. And Andy Garcia. Neither are hard on the eyes and they did a good job. It needs to go on your need-to-see list!
Wayne and Finn picked me up as usual – and the ride home was…Finn-centric (also as usual!).

I was finally able to get one decent picture – Smile, Finn!

Apparently, although he’s been getting bones and pets from his Dad, they don’t stack up to Mom-Loves!
Nor does his Dad wear a lot of lotion.
And Finn LOVES him some lotion!

After he stopped just being loved on – he spent the rest of the ride home licking every reachable spot he could find – cuz I DO use lotion! 😉
Also – I’m sure he just LOOOOOOVES me! 😉
He did finally settle back to his normal Finn position in the van…

It was lovely to see all the green – a person does get sort of “grass/green/tree” starved in the desert of California!

Once we got the suitcase inside and in the bedroom (please notice I did NOT say unpacked!)…I was treated to an old favorite…

Yes indeed. Very very nice to be home!
I’ll be back tomorrow with a card – pinky swear! 🙂

Stamps-N-Lingers 2018 Holiday Catalog Shares Are Open!

What are catalog shares, you ask? They’re your chance to try a little bit of everything and see what you like the best. It’s like…your first trip thru a cruise ship buffet…you have a little taste of all the fun things you like (or have never tasted) and then you go back for seconds (or even thirds!) on the goodies you love!
I’ll place our Shares order first jump out of the box on 5 Sept 18 and use expedited shipping so I get it back fast! Then I’ll get it all cut up, packaged and out the door quick as I can – hopefully early in the week of 10 Sept.
Shares are open to anyone – including demonstrators, so…check it…
I’ve got a few options for you to pick from: a New Designer Series Paper Share, a New Ribbons/Embellishments Share, and an I Want It All Share (this one gets a free extra bonus!!).
