Me, Nami & Kazan

This weekend Kazan and I visited the rubber stamping expo in Colorado Springs. It was an extra special trip because we had the pleasure of meeting one of our new sponsors at 

2 Sketches 4 You,  DeNami Design Stamps! If you have never seen Nami's stamps you have to go check them out, they are fabulous! 

DeNami Designs is a successful family owned and operated  business. 

Nami designs all of her stamps her self, she is an awe-inspiring artist. Her enthusiasm and talent shines through to her beautiful work and her accomplished business. DeNami Designs will be a sponsor at 2 Sketches 4 You in the very near future, be sure you keep an eye out so you can play along to win some incredible products from DeNami Designs!

New Table & New Card

Wooohooo! I am so excited today get my new scrapbooking table that I ordered from one of my favorite stores: Room & Board! I really needed a new one! I ordered a big one too, 60x36 with a butcher block top. Yay!!

...and to my new card I made for Sketch This: Card! Sketch #62. To be perfectly honest I struggled with this sketch but in the end loved the outcome! I am drawn to clean simple lines, so I kept to my comfort zone and kept it just that, clean & simple.

Thanks for all your sweet comments!

A Little Break

Today I thought I would take a little break from paper and share with you some of my favorite pictures from our vacation this summer to Florida. The pictures are of my husband & daughter at the beach. Of course I am not in any of these pictures, I am the one taking them. 

I also was recently tagged by the lovely Lea, thanks girlie!

Here are the 6 Random Things About Me:

• If you haven't noticed I am addicted to ribbon! I just counted I have 130 spools to be exact!

• I am the shyest person you will ever meet! 

•  I have dark brown hair, but right now my hair has reddish strawberry blonde streaks in it. My hair is sun bleached from walking in my daughters golf tournaments. I can not tell you how many compliments I have gotten too! LOL:)

• My nickname in high school was "bongo boobs". Yeah not so much anymore don't know what happened, maybe it had to do with having a baby and breast feeding?:)

• I love real oranges, but HATE...artificially flavored orange things!

• When ever I get a new car I instantly become attached and give my new cars names! My Lexus RX 350's name is Marmee! Oh, I love my Marmee!!:)
