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!

Hey everyone, I had the most splendid time in Nashville at Stampin’ Up’s Leadership Conference Made new friends and reconnected with old friends. Learned a lot and feel so motivated. I was there until Friday Evening and then Traveled to Fayetteville, TN to teach some fun and talented ladies my brayer techniques on Saturday. Sunday I drove home to Ohio and upon reaching my home I have been bed ridden since with the Flu. Just wanted you to know why my blog has not been updated lately. I’ll be back creating ASAP. Now I’m going back to my NyQuil Dreams.
Much love to you all.
Hugs,
Michelle
Well it is the end of day 2 at the Stampin’ Up Conference and it was a super fabulous day. Above is a pic of Kristin Kortonick and I making our way up on stage to be recognize for our promotions to Manager!
Below, front row seats for general session. 🙂
Below is Shelli Gardner on stage sharing with us some exciting new changes that are coming up. Stampin’ Up functions are over the top.
After the changes were announced on stage the news was put up on Stampin’ Up’s Demo website. So if you are a demo, check it out. I don’t see any negatives to the changes, only good!
Kristin, Kristin, Claire and I on the stage steps.
Below are some views of the Gaylord Motel here in Nashville, TN. This place is stunning.
Sorry this post is so short, but I have had a fun but tiring day. Need to get my beauty sleep before the activities start tomorrow morning.
Huge Hugs,
Michelle
Howdy! Well I’m here in Nashville, TN for Stampin’ Up’s Leadership Conference. It is off to a great, great start. Here I am with a couple of my buddies, Kristin & Claire. We just returned from the Manager’s reception (Great food, line dancing and Live Music at the Wild Horse Saloon) and were presented with our Conference bag and a new top secret stamp set!
Thanks to Kristin Kortonic for letting me swipe her pics of us.
Who is that funny looking cowgirl on the right any how, lol. This makes me remember just why I don’t wear hats.

Well I am going to go sit and worry about my fur baby, Abby, my black Labrador. I dropped her at the Vet this morning to have a lump removed from her chest. I’m sure she will be fine, but I still am worried. Please send good vibes to the Vet for me. On a lighter note, my husband has been telling people that Abby is having a breast reduction, lol, Men!
May your day be filled with love and laughter.
