"Subcribes to Posts (atom)"

If that doesn't work for you, let me know.

I added in some product reviews today.

I believe in being upfront with a customer if I haven't tried one of our products. A couple of my customers have asked about the watercolor techniques that Stampin' Up! does, so with my last personal order I just had to get the watercolor crayons and pencils. Now that I have had the opportunity to try them, decided it would be a great idea to post a review of the produts.

They have been added to my blog:

Hal and I just returned from a cruise on Sunday. Had a fabulous time. I currently have laryngitis, so if you call don't be surprised if my voice sounds funny. We were on the Mariner of the Seas. What an amazing ship. There was an ice rink (and production shows), mini golf course, basketball court, rock climbing wall, golf simulator, jogging track, full gym with the latest equipment, Royal Promenade full of shops, photo opportunities galore (we took 1300 photos) and so much more. We booked this cruise over 18 months ago and traveled with a number of our cruise buddies.

If you have any questions, remember I'm just an e-mail or phone call away.

Lovethe last one - LIFE is what happens...!

Well - I was able to aadd myseklf as a follower this morning. Not sure why I had so much trouble finding it before. It's right there where it should be. I must have been haveing one of 'those' days... (sigh)

Thank you for joining my blog as a follower. The "follower" section was added just over a week ago I believe. Prior to that you could subscibe to the feed. On one of my cardmaking boards they were talking about the "follower" thing and how much they enjoyed it, so added that in also.

This is one of my favorites too.

Ah - I don't feel so stupid nnow.
that's what I had been looking for back before you added it.

I'm so excited to share my blog update with you today. Yesterday I had a wonderful group at my home for a Stampin' Up! Workshop/class. We laughed, we shared, we had so much fun. In the workshop/class we actually made 4 projects: A photo album/brag book, a post-it note cover, a designer pen, and a designer bookmark. I have the photos and the directions on my blog.
