BETH-FONICS!

For some of you who don't know me very well, I am NOT the world's GREATEST speller! So I have come up with a new name for my lack of correct spelling style BETH-FONICS aka PHONICS (so overated is proper spelling. I have had this problem since forever (I hope my kids don't inharett this from me (did I spell that right? probably NOT).
Just thought I would share a funny with all of you, it's way funner than going & doing the dirty dishes in my sink right now! Oh & if you want to know if I ever use spell check, yes I do my hubby & my AWESOME FRIEND'S Lucinda & Sherry. I am sure they would rather help me than do dirty dishes also! hahahaha

NOW I JUST GOTTA ADD A PIC.!

GOING, GOING.................GONE OR NOT!

Well as all of us know our economy has not been the best for our country for the past 2- 2 1/2 years. Because of this it has really hurt the scrapbooking/paper crafting industry. Some of our favorite companies/stores have had to close their doors do to these tuff times. One of these was RUSTY PICKLE! I was fortunate enough to get to meet Lance Anderson (founder of RUSTY PICKLE) a few weeks ago at the Mesa, AZ. Scrapbooking Convention. Some of you may recall that we used some of their product for one of our first challanges & the kindly donated a prize to us as well. He was super nice & even autographed (NOTHING RUSTY HERE) his book for me! Lance is not totally going away he said that he will still be teaching classes locally & around the globe!
