Rocking at CE......and holiday boxes! also.....my challenge to myself!

okay.....since it's been a couple of weeks.....guess i can spill my beans.........ce ROCKED!!!!! yes.....while at ce i tried to get the attention of some friends by tossing little rocks at the patio doors......well......who would have known........that i PACK a punch!!!!!! after 2 little pebbles on lauries door.....NO response.........sooooo i move down to kathleen's door.......and miss the door twice......and hit the screen door........however.......the THIRD time was the charm.........and that door cracked like an egg!!!!!!! you could hear it!!!!! debi was with me......and thought we were surely in trouble.......i just figured that was what homeowners insurance is for!!! i called kathleen........she let the hotel know what had happened.......and the rest is CE history!!!

check out the photos.....miss catherine f-e sent me a lovely box of rocks.....and kim schroeder from new jersey sent me a bag a chocolate rocks......i just love my friends!!!

okay........back to reality........trying to get caught up......finished my escape banner......love it.....and the inspiration!!! also wanting to make some samples for the shop.......here is my class for November.....a little holiday box for cards........had fun with this......just wish it wasn't hot in the house.......mr. butt turned off the a/c.......and it's over 88 here.......with NO air moving......and these halogen lights are just TOO toasty for this girl! (now mind you....i love hot....just not this kind!)

well.....i still love my crazy life......going to shop for rolodex supplies....guess i will do the swap while in nashville........then again......maybe not.......will have to decide.....since i already signed up for the page swap......charm swap......and secret sister hostess!!! damn.......when will i learn to say NO......(to anyone besides rex, erin, comet and apollo!!!!

forgot about getting to play with tim holtz......man......that really ROCKED.......he does some amazing things with ink........would love to be going to his holiday retreat......just wasn't meant to be!!!!

okay.........separate post for the holiday box........

forgot to add.........i'm going to accept the challenge from rhonna........and compete in the 21 day challenge. i have done this before.....and loved it.....and will love it this time also! my challenge.........to create art each day.........and watch what snacks enter my mouth. this is such a hard thing for me......each day at work seems to find my eating pretzels contiunously.......then when lunch time rolls around.....i'm not hungry.....however i eat my lunch anyway.....i don't want to hurt mr. butt's feelings....since he spent the time to prepare it for me!!! wish me luck!!
