Thought I do something a little different today. Since coming back from convention I have been dealing with 2 different sides of me.
The one side is the Mommy who is dealing with some very trying times with her three boys. They seem to be in quite the "stage" right now and it's been very difficult. My husband said that while I was in Salt Lake they were great for him. That has been far from the case since though since my return. I can't believe I am so ready for school to start. I love my boys and usually enjoy spending every moment I can with them but AURGHHH.
The other side has been the side that is enjoying the post-convention "high". The after effects of meeting new friends. Some exciting prospects and opportunities that make me feel very special. Hint Hint - Look for some fun announcements soon - a wonderful new weekly post and another surprise.
So I thought it fitting today to share this neat project from the talented designers at Stampin' Up! If you would like to purchase the products that you need, you can do so at any time through my website HERE
