I think summer has finally come to WI!  It’s been hot  and sticky and we have run the air conditioner in the shop all day long. Glad for technology that keeps us comfortable. 

A quick and easy card for this morning. This skinny candle stamp was a top seller in Collinsville this weekend so here’s an idea for you ladies to try!

Good Morning!  Not so good travel for us…we blew a tire on the Fifth Wheel last night around 10 pm. Took about an hour to change with crazy speeding traffic. of course the blowout was on the highway side!  ugh. Kevin got it safely changed and we limped to Tifton, GA and this morning headed to the tire shop. All in all not so bad. 😉

Hello!  We had an awesome time in Minnesota!

Here’s Dawn , Karen, and I at the make n take table.   You ladies in Minnesota did over 200 make n takes. I’m going to be very busy putting more kits together!  We had a great crew of customers. Thank you to my Mom for being brave and driving to the cities by herself to help me 😊

Good Morning!  We head to Shakopee MN this afternoon for the show at Canterbury Park. We have lots of family in MN so looking forward to it. We have kids coming today to help package, barcode stamps and to mow lawn.  Looking forward to spending some time with the kids 😊

Home Sweet Home it is!  There are 3 of us vendors that are in competition  to see who gets home first. The Paper Cut and Creative Vision and us. We have the unfair advantage of living the furthest away but we beat everyone home this time.  Sarah  and Ron were right behind us!  We seldom win. 😜

A HUGE big THANK YOU to Becky for helping me on Saturday with Make n Takes!  She was a lifesaver.  Another thank you goes to Helen for helping us tear down after the show!  That’s probably why we beat everyone home. 

We had a fabulous time in MA with Pat (missed Claudia though) with Nancy ( missed Susan) and so many of our favorites. West Springfield was one of our very first shows. I believe it was number 2 after Denver, CO. We don’t remember where the 3rd one was. 

Stamps Used: F229 KB’s Lavender; This is one of our best sellers. We are coming out with a smaller version soon. E43 Happy Birthday

Next: Shakopee Minnesota here we come! oh, wait we have a lot of stamps to make first😊

We made it to toasty warm West Springfield, MA and I think this is the warmest weather we have run into in a long time !  We don’t seem to have much summer back home.

I hope you all had a nice relaxing long weekend! We spent the weekend re-making our wood stamp cases. What a project!  Now we need to re-do the card displays. Endless Work I call it.😝

We are off to West Springfield, MA tomorrow. We are looking for help in our booth on Saturday. If anyone is interested please email me at beth@shopec.com for the information.

Good Morning! I think I might be getting my mojo back after not feeling well for a few months !  so happy! 

I got some painting in, some blueberry crisp made, breakfast for Kevin. Yes  I’m feeling so much better 😛 Its amazing that you don’t even realize you don’t feel well until you feel better. Pain can be a real strength zapper.
