If you were wondering were I was the past 5 days, I was hanging out in Spring, Texas with these 3 sisters, Mary, Delia and Olga. I have never received better hospitality in my life. These ladies made sure I was very well taken care of. They fed me heart and soul. Mawh, Ladies! My sides are still hurting from all the fun and laughter.
Here I am with Delia. Thank you Sista! Yes, I am a self proclaimed Sister of theirs now. I can only wish to be in such a wonderful family.
These ladies took me to such fantastic TexMex Restaurants, the BBQ Cook Off at the Rodeo, a fantastic Pizza place and finally to a Western Store so I could purchase my very first pair of Cowboy Boots, Yeahaw!
I also met so many terrific brayer students. Brayer On, Ladies!
My next Brayer Teaching spot is Wichita, Kansas.
But right now it is time to play catch up here at home. I’m hoping to have a new tutorial for you tomorrow.
May your day be one filled with wonders.
Until my next post. . . . ..
Huge Hugs,
Michelle

I returned home yesterday from Tucson, AZ. My what a trip it was. I had a quick layover in Atlanta, GA, so I thought, I boarded my plane there only to sit there for an hour before they de-boarded us because of a mechanical problem with the plane. Then I had to sit there in Atlanta for 7 hours waiting on a flight to Ohio. Needless to say, my trip home started at 6:30 in the morning and I arrived home finally at 12:30 at night. The great time I had in Arizona was well worth the long trip I had getting home. Thanks to you Arizonians who made my trip memorable!
It was hard facing the ice storm that I arrived home to in Ohio. We are currently still getting freezing rain that has coated everything in sight with a good inch of ice. This storm is currently affecting 33 states, Yuck. I miss the blue skies and 70 degree temps from Arizona already!
I gave myself the day off but, I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to announce the Blog Candy Winner. So, without further ado, the winner of the Stampin’ Up Color Coach is. . . . . . . .
Christy Saldana who wrote “What a wonderful tool. Could use this for everything, not just cards and stamping. Thanks and have a wonderful trip”.
Christy, Congratulations! Please e-mail your shipping address to me at mzindorf@aim.com with in 30 days and I will get this awesome tool right out to you.
Thanks to everyone that played along.
Until my next post. . . . .
Huge Hugs,
Michelle

This is my last day in Tucson, AZ (frown). It is so beautiful and the people are wonderful. I leave here first thing tomorrow morning to return to cold Ohio.
I don’t have any stamping for you today. I received this from a friend and wanted to share it with you.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Try everything twice.
On one woman’s tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
“Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!”
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever…
Never let the brain get idle. ‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’
And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s!
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,
spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.
6.. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever..
Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don’t take guilt trips..
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county,
to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
I love you, my special friend.
11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second
chance..
And if you don’t send this to at least 4 people – who cares?
But do share this with someone.
Remember! Lost time can never be found.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of
battle.
Wine does not make you FAT ….
– it makes you LEAN ….
(Against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people.)
Have a great day!
MY BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!
Until my next post. . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle

Well Folks, as you see I have made to Tucson, Arizona and it is stunning!!! I arrived yesterday morning and spent the afternoon with my Hostess, Tonya taking in the awesome sights of the Saguaro National Park. It’s prickly but fabulous! The temperatures are a wonderful 70 degrees. A bit different than the freezing temperatures of Ohio.
I will be teaching my brayer workshops today and tomorrow to the wonderful stampers of Arizona, I cannot wait to get started. 🙂
This morning (Thursday) I am running around like a crazy person preparing for my trip to TUCSON, ARIZONIA tomorrow morning. There are always those last minute things to do. We all have those days where we wish we could clone ourselves.
Any how, since I have no time to stamp prior to my departure I have some fantastic blog candy for you. Every stamper needs one of these handy tools, the Stampin’ Up Color Coach. This tool is a life saver when you are putting together those projects and you are looking for a stunning color combination. One side of the cards are solid color, one per Stampin’ Up Color. On the other side of the cards are awesome color combinations for the color on the reverse side. There are additional cards discussing color theory. I am also including the Stampin’ Up In Color cards. 🙂
All you have to do to enter for a chance to win this must have tool is to leave a comment at the bottom of this post. If you are getting this blog update via e-mail, PLEASE CLICK HERE and then leave a comment at the bottom of the blog post.
I will choose the winner on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 using a random number generator. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
