I have been in the Cyber Black Hole ... aka SU Convention! (Between stamping swaps, eating, visiting friends, eating, stamping more stuff, visiting some more ... and oh, yeah - going to "classes" - I kinda forget about CyberLand. Actually, I don't FORGET, I'm just too dang exhausted to do anything by the time I get a few minutes!!!I got to meet up with my Freaky Friends yesterday - aka the Control Freaks. There were 12 of us who got together for lunch and swapping. LOVE it!! These women are not only extremely talented, but beautiful inside and out!! I am truly blessed to be able to associate with them!

This picture just shows why I love Stampin' Up ... my bff's! These are my original Stampin' Up buddies - Shellee and Cheryl. They truly are wonderful and amazing and beautiful and talented. I am sooo lucky to have them as part of my life. (And they are ALWAYS on hand to help me justify my addiction!!) Love you, girls!!And here is a list of Artisan Award Finalists. Several of my good friends are on this list!! (And even though I am NOT on the list, I am SOOO proud of these wonderfully talented women and feel they are all well deserving!)

Hey Wendy~
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having a Fantastic time at the friends-get-away. *Ahem* I mean Convention. I can't wait to hear all about it!
What does it take to become a "Control Freak" in a good way?
