Like the crafty Black Apple , I was blessed to spend the weekend with my lovely mom and we were craftyish by attending the CKC in Seattle(ish).

While this doesn’t bode well for the economy, many of the booths were having great sales, I got some Cocoa Daisy stuff (thanks mom!), found my annual ornament supplies at Melissa Francis and Embellish It and took some great classes from the aforementioned Embellish It and Technique Tuesday (where I have some stamps on backorder). I also had a Rusty Pickle class that had some issues, and was treated to incredible customer service from the company. Thank you, you rock! We also had lunch with my aunt and cousin-in-law, and then I had a class with them as well. Good times were had by all.

It was sad to see my mom go, but we had a great time together, and she enjoyed visiting with the husband and kids too. Unlike a good scrapper, I didn’t take any photos. But, it has been a bit since I’ve really scrapped, and I needed this shot in the arm, I’m brimming with exciting ideas, and sadly not brimming with time to put them into action.

On a side note, my previous post wasn’t meant to be a “Please Validate Me” post, but I was truly touched at your kind comments. I teared up while reading a lot of your posts, and am truly blessed to “know” everyone. Thank you!
