A CI Contest, some classes and New Mexico....

What a gorgeous day in Massachusetts, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the temperature is nearly 70 degrees! That is my kind of weather.  I am leaving this weather in the morning for what i hope to be even warmer weather in New Mexico.  I am going on business but do hope to enjoy a bit of sightseeing while i am there.

Before i leave for a few days here is a run down on some upcoming events!

• My son, Samuele is leaving on a cruise to the caribbean...he is going to have so much fun! 
• My son, Jon is leaving to spend some time in Connecticut with a friend from Perkins
• My son Anthony and Stefanie will find out the sex of the babies this Monday.  I will find out while in Santa Fe - must buy something special!  If you want to keep up with their lives during their pregnancy you can check out their blog here.
• Creative Imaginations is having a contest and you could be one of the winners of a $100 prize package! Check out the details here.
• Over the years i have had many emails asking me how I seal and protect my projects.  Up until a short time ago i did not have a way to keep the light, dust and moisture from aging and eventually ruining my projects.  Creative Imaginations has released the most amazing product for sealing and protecting your projects.  You will be amazed at this video - watch and see how they dunk newspaper into a tub of water and it doesn't absorb a drop. 

And to answer a few emails here are some projects and dates for some of my upcoming classes.

I am teaching April 26th two classes at Right at Home.  I will be teaching book 2 and 3 of the seasonal series.  Snowflake book and the Spring Butterfly book.   Below are the images of both books that i will be teaching.  The matching limited edition boxes will be available to purchase after the class.

I am also teaching during National Scrapbook Day at Scrapbook Clubhouse in Westbrook Connecticut.  I am teaching three classes. 

Grateful Album

Butterfly Album

And the last is a Recipe book using Renae Lingren's Miss Elle Line

And since i have slacked a bit on my "quotes of the day" i am going to post one from a gentlemen that i first saw on You Tube.  If you can spare 10 minutes or even 5 view this video as it is life altering.  I ran out to barnes and noble and bought his book The Last Lecture - best $23.00 i ever spent.

Here is a quote from his lecture "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, jus the way we play the hand." ~ Randy Pausch

P.S. Watching the mail for the Grateful album kit - have you sent it yet? If not no biggie...you know I am not working yet. Dr. on Friday, hopefully I will lose the brace. That will give me some much needed freedom. Take care.

as always my friend....your work is divine. The projects look awesome, and one day I will get to come and play in person.

The spray video I watched the other day and I was truly amazed. We are on the move to Perth Western Australia so I sure hope they stock it there in a few weeks. I will email with all the details soon.

Take care and HUGE CONGRATS ON THE BABIES! Wahoo! Nana.

hugs
Your kiwi pal
