Hey There, Well I am back from my week in the awesome state of Georgia.    Where I got to spend some time teaching and touring Savannah and Atlanta.   Fun, fun times!

I’m going to show you some pictures I took on my trip, but first I want to give away a great Stampin’ Up! set of Stamps “Day of Gratitude”.   I got so many e-mails/comments from people telling me they wanted this set after I used it in this card, I thought I would give a set away as blog candy. 

 Not to mention I have been neglecting you, by not being able to post projects during my trip.  So, to enter to win this lovely, lovely set of stamps, please leave a comment telling me to enter you.   If you are receiving this blog update via e-mail you will need to CLICK HERE then leave a comment.  Please no e-mail entries.

I will use a number generator on Friday, October 22, 2010 to select the winner.  Remember, you cannot win if you do not enter.  Good luck everyone!

Now, here are some scenery pictures from my trip.  🙂

I am so very fortunate to get to drive to many of my Brayer Workshop locations.  Getting to see the sights around the United States is one very big perk!

This was taken somewhere between Ohio and Savannah, Georgia, lol.  It was taken through the windshield as I was driving so. .. . . . .

This is my dream home in Savannah all decked out for Autumn.  Love the stunning architecture in this town.  This was not my first trip to Savannah, but I just can’t get enough of it.

One of the fountains in the Squares.  Check out the moss hanging from that oak tree.  Love it!  If you visit Savannah, don’t just take a trolly tour etc., really you must see and walk through some of the squares to get a real feel of what it must be like to live there.

How about some more architecture.

Of course, I had to eat dinner at Paul Deen’s Restaurant, Lady & Sons.  Sorry, this was taken when I left the restaurant at night.  🙂   MMMMM good food!

My second day there I went to Tybee Island.  🙂

I finished my day with this, lol

The next three days were full of fun Brayer Workshops in both Savannah and Atlanta.  Then my drive home yesterday.

I have a really rough job, not!

May your day be filled with fun stuff.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle

Let me say, I must really love this Stampin’ Up! set “Friends Never Fade” because I purchased it twice, lol.  Now come on, I’m sure I am not the only one out there that has did that with a stamp or two.  🙂   Does this mean that I possibly have too many stamps, Nah!  I don’t think so.

Now do to my error, I am giving one of these gorgeous sets away.  If you would like to enter to try to win this set, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me to enter you.   If you are receiving this blog update via e-mail you will need to click HERE and then leave a comment at the bottom of the blog post.

I hit the road again tomorrow, bright and early to make my way from Ohio to Elk Grove Village, Illinois where I will be teaching my brayer techniques to some of the best stampers in the world, I’m sure.   I have just a few spots avialable in the Friday workshop.  If you are interested in attending, please e-mail at mzindorf@aim.com.  The Saturday workshops are all sold out.  Any how, I will be spending the day packing and loading the van.

Catch you next Monday.  Have an out of this world weekend!

Hi there, you are probably wondering why I have been absent from my blog for a while.  Well my Mother, Jeannette passed away at the very young age of 68.  I have been spending all of my time with her in her last days and now I will be taking care of her estate and making funeral arrangements.  

My mother passed from a smoking related illness, please, please if you smoke, STOP NOW!  If not for yourself then for your family.

Thanks to everyone who has been keeping my family in thier thoughts.  I will resume my blog posts when I get my life back to normal.  Hang in there, I have not forgotten you.  🙂

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

This post is just to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayer yesterday for Russ’ procedure to go well.    Russ is no worse for wear, but not better.  After the doc shocked Russ’ heart 3 times to try to get it in the right rhythm, it is still out of rhythm.  So this just means another round of heart meds and then possibly the same procedure he had yesterday next month.   I’m hoping the meds kicks his heart into rhythm.  🙂

Anyway, thank you for think of us.

This short post also shows us fishing last Sunday.  

Check out my pink fishing pole, lol.    The color keeps Russ from using my pole. 

Also, when you are taking pics of yourself this is what you get.  🙂

And if you wonder where I get inspiration from for some of my scenes?  Inspiration is all around you, check it out.

I did just finish a card tutorial for you and I will put it on a post of it’s own in a little bit.  Stay tuned.

Love and hugs to you.

Michelle
