I have to share this link with you. A friend of mine, Steve Gaul, is in the midst of a world record attempt at marathon drumming! The current record is 120 hours, so Steve is aiming for 121, and as I type this, he is at hour 104. Absolutely AMAZING. His efforts are not just for the record, though – he's also raising funds for cancer research. Steve himself is a cancer survivor, and his current effort is dedicated to the memory of his beautiful sister Toni, who passed away after a long battle with cancer just last year.

Hello! As the Stampin' Up! stamp that quotes John Lennon goes "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans". Where has the time gone? Sorry for that "radio silence" there. Here in Canada, it's a long weekend YAY so I'm busy doing fun things like totally cleaning out my home office….which has been a long time coming. Still not quite finished…but there's room to move in there now so that's progress. My goal is to get it more or less done by this evening. Wish me luck!!!
Anyway, thought I'd pop back in to let everyone know about the August Stampin' Up! special – buy 3 packs of Desginer Paper, get 1 for free! This is a great way to build up your stash of decorative paper and get ready to record all the memories from the summer and the upcoming (dare I say it) school year! Click on the link to see the flyer, and then click HERE to place your online order, or contact me directly!
If you weren't able to tune in live a week ago, here's the video of my segment on CH Morning Live. I always have fun doing the show and this was no exception. Bob (the co-host seen on the clip) had me laughing before we were even on air! The video is embedded below, but if you are reading this in a reader or email, it may not appear – if so, here's the link to the video on the yamstamps youtube channel. The segment was showing a few creative things you could do with children – so I featured mobiles and mini scrapbooks.
I'm finalizing my schedule for the next few months so if you're interested in hosting a workshop in your home and earning free product from the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue, please be sure to contact me!
LOL. So I was challenged to post on my blog every day for a month. The challenge started Thursday. I was out by Friday….yes, that's right, I lasted one day….but I was distracted – that's my excuse! Besides preparing for my New Catalogue Open House & Rubber Garage Sale on the Saturday, I was headed to Toronto to see Hugh Jackman (yes, THAT Hugh Jackman) in concert – an early birthday present for my mother, and darn it all, the sacrifices we make for family, I went along with her. The concert was fantastic! Such a multi-talented guy – sings, dances, acts, and not hard to look at LOL. We had great seats as well – close enough that I'm SURE he looked at me during the show…. and then he waved at me afterwards. Here's proof…
ROFLOL!!! (but that really is him…) Reminder to self: always carry camera because you never know when you'll want a half decent photo!! The iphone camera is okay…but obviously not up to certain challenges.
Thanks to all who were able to make it to my Open House – it was a frenzy of activity at the start! If you weren't able to attend but want your copy of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue, contact me to make arrangements to get it into your hands!
