We have had quite a trip to Hamburg. We have about 50 miles to go. Last night as we were traveling- our axle broke on the trailer and took out a couple of tires. Lucky for us we were only about 50 miles from the manufacturer and we managed to limp there. They replaced all the axles and tires and repaired the damage! But it took till around 3 pm so has made for a rather long day.
Today’s card is one from my friend Heidi ‘s class that she teaches in Mosinee WI. She so creative!

Hello! I am alive! Some crazy days. On our trip home from Stampaway we broke a spring on our new toy hauler. We couldn’t believe it so stranded in Indy for a day. Made it home and Kevin ordered a new spring.
We came home to piles of internet orders and we had a few special orders from Stampaway. I finally got all that done and we are starting on stamps for the next convention.
Today’s card is for Becky O’Donnel’s class in Hamburg, NY which is the next show. It was fun to make.
