Well, I posted a blog just a bit ago and now I can't find it anywhere.  Go figure!!

So, I will attempt to redo it, but it probably won't be the same.  Such is the life of a blogger that doesn't plan their posts ;-)

We have been keeping busy while we away our RV.

During this time, I was invited to go to a get together with Rita at her Up-line's house.  We are both demonstrators for Stampin' UP! and the person that got her into SU has a monthly get together with her downline.

 This is the view of her home, as we drove up her driveway.  I was a little intimidated, but had no reason to be.  She was one of the sweetest, nicest people.

Here is my friend getting ready to open the door.  She said, "Hurry up and take that dern picture"  LOL

I was welcomed with open arms.  And, not only that, I got to swap cards with 15 other gals.  What fun!

We listened to a talk by her up-line and then she demonstrated how to make a spinner card.  FUN!

Afterwards, I got to tour her awesome stamp room and class room, where she holds her classes for her customers.

Great stamp room!!!!  Only a stamper can truly appreciate how wonderful it would be to have this much room to stamp in!!

Then, the next evening, we drove into Cincinnati, OH to attend a stamping convention that is held every year.

We first met two stampers that belong to my stamping list on Yahoo.  What fun to finally get to meet someone you've only talked online to.

We met at Ruby Tuesday's and from the look of the surrounding tables, a lot of other stampers decided to meet up there before the convention, too.

And, last but not least was having my photo taken with Tim Holtz.  He is well known in the stamping world!!  I don't personally use many of his products but a lot of my friends, do.

To be perfectly honest, I only bought one item that whole night.  Other people were carrying bags full of stuff.  But, I knew that I didn't have anywhere to store it and was trying to be frugal!!

The next day, we went to the Ark down in KY.  I have another post just for that over on my travel blog at http://travelwithdaveandcharitsagodthing.blogspot.com/  What a great place to visit and spend an entire day!!

Have a great day!!!
