alright, so i know i never mentioned it before ~ but i love hambly!!! okay ~ joke ~ we all know i love me some hambly!!! i took some of the new product that miss allison herself gave me and combined it with hambly i already had and ~ ta-dah!! i want to call it a challenge ~ even though it wasnt really a challenge, but i wanted to use only hambly product in the little mini. with the exception of the acrylic mini album and the american craft letters on the cover ~ mission accomplished!!! oh ~ and i did use a little stickels here and there. i cant wait till the rest of the new goods hit stores ~ i already want more!!! what do you think allison?? thanks again for the goodies ~ you made my month!!! oh, and of course i had to put pictures from cha in it ~ it seemed too perfect!! the day really was like a dream..... i love the back cover!!! alright, so i wanted to do some cool shots of the different details that i especially love about the album, but here is the problem ~ using my 10.1 mega pixel camera is getting old for blogging purposes. i went a head and busted out an old cannon elf that i had ~ 3.2 mega pixels just so that i didnt have to wait three hours to complete this post ~ that amount of time uploading all of the photos. anyway, what im trying to say is ~ im sorry that the pictures are a little fuzzy, but you have to understand ~ sitting at my laptop for ever isnt going to work anymore. fuzzy ~ quick pictures it is from now on!! there fore ~ here are a few cool little details that i especially love about this album....
there ~ now im off to make dinner and brain storm about what to do with the act paper allison gave me..... thats kind of a lie ~ i already started a few, but i need to think of more fun stuff to do with them!!!!

so i took some pictures from our wine tasting day, made them black and white and put together a mini album that i adore!!! here are a few shots unedited from the weekend... by the way ~ autumn ~ in the red dress ~ it was her birthday celebration ~ too, too fun!!!




i wanted to do a st pattys day theme album something to do with luck and what not. this is what i came up with ~ hey who said a st patricks day album had to have the green in it?? i will be teaching lucky girly at its about time in murrieta sunday, the 16th of march at twelve ~ noon. im really excited about this project. i used lots of bling, of course hambly rub ons and transparencies, more transparencies chipboard letters, and the amazing paper from glitz. lovin the pink black and white!!! i will have to admit, the cover was inspired by another artist... gotta give credit where credit is due...



so much fun!!! hope to see you there!! oh their number you ask?? (951)304-3422
~ciao~

HELLO!! long time no type!! ha ~ i just feel like there is so much to talk about!!! where to start ~ where to start?? i actually have more pictures to put up (from this weekend ~ wine tasting), but i have to save something for another time right?? anyway ~ first things first ~ i wish i had a before picture of what these mountains normally look like, but let me tell you ~ these puppies dont ever see snow!! my hubby called me today and said that he saw that it was snowing so he drove to the area where it was so he could stand in the falling snow. of course you always think that there might be a little bit of a stretch when he says that its snowing out here, but nope ~ no lying here, see for yourself!! i was amazed when i came into town and i saw these beautiful mountains like i have never seen them before. amazing!! its kind of funny, you can see the line of where the snow didnt make it far enough down. that is how the whole mountain has always been, as long as i have known it!!!
moving right along, to a little ol' event you might have heard about ~ CHA?? ring any bells!?!? ahhh... once again, let me tell you how blessed i am to be a part of the VIPS that the ladies at its about time took along for the ride. seriously, i love those girls!!! lauren and i rode down together, and well, this is how it started.....

i finally had the courage to venture over to the hambly and love, elsie neck of the woods. really, that was my main priority ~ to see those two booths. anyway, elsie was out to lunch, which worked out good for me. we were able to hang in her kitchen and take a ton of pictures with out her there noticing what a freak i really am!!! okay, so if i told you i had a bad time ~ would you believe me??? check out my goofy grin in every picture!! i look sooo happy ~ mainly because I WAS!!! ahhh.... i love the scrapbook world i live in!!

we left and came back later and ta~dah!! there she was, waiting to meet me, like i was waiting to meet her!!! ;). she was super sweet and had such cute hair!!

okay, so we all know ally loves her some hambly like nobodys business!!! look ~ look here i am with allison herself!!! this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!!! i just crack up at my face ~ so excited!!! seriously though, allison was so sweet. she even gave me some "exclusive" goodies that arent out yet!!! how lucky am i?? i already started to put together a mini acrylic album that i plan on sending photos to her!!



the goods!!! ahh.... i want more already!!!

alright, so i wasnt at CHA too ~ too long, but here is what i know.... i still love elsie and i still love hambly ~ hambly will always be my staple. i loved sassafras lass, i loved this line by daisy ds, i love, love the maya road booth, and heidi swapp had a ton of goodies. the one booth that i didnt even remember to forget to look for was bam pop. turns out they were there, but i missed them. i had to go ahead and place a online order for their goodies cause i wanna play!!!

oh yeah, and today is valentines day!!! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! rica brought me these flowers home. im so blessed to have him!!!
here is little missy signing daddys valentines day card.
