Off to Creative Escape . . .

It is 4am and mom, dad and I are off to Arizona for the last Creative Escape. This time taking my parents van. Dad just got his truck back from Mississippi and it is running great but he thinks it needs new tires before we take it for another road trip.

In route we stopped at one of mom's favorite places, Wildseed Farms, to stretch our legs. OH MY, this is a very dangerous place. So many fun and pretty things to temp you to open your pocket book. I did find something I could not live without. Bluebonnet seeds. Dad is going to turn the back field into an ideal bluebonnet field for pictures. Yeah for dad. I know the rain has been bad this year but hopefully dad and his dedication to Scrapp'n Savvy will help us keep that fun Texas tradition alive for 2012.

Mom and I both have a hard time with sitting without something to do so yes as soon as the sun was up we were Scrapp'n! Mom made some beautiful layouts for Millie "Q" and I made a Bobunny mini book for a store sample so much fun! Don't you love how mom used her space? Sticking stuff to the window was an awesome idea. She is the best!



Well the music stopped playing when we arrived in Lordsburg New Mexico. The blue van died! Ugh! The alternator went out and there was no place in Lordsburg to fix it. The auto mechanic gave the battery a good charge and said IF you don't run the AC or anything but the engine you MIGHT make it to Deming Arizona 80 miles away. So with a prayer in our hearts we headed for Deming. The blue van died as we pulled into the Auto place. What a blessing. They had us up and going in two hours! YEAH for Mills Auto place!

Arrived at Bazzill just in time to play. Bazzill puts on a to-do-lah for the store owner who attend Creative Escape. Mom and I made some fun projects using all the new Bazzill lines . . .so much fun!

Plus I was given more give-aways for the Scrapp'n Sampler!

Happy Scrapp'n

Weekly Layout by Millie

Sorry for the delay. Debra is feeling a bit under the weather and could get her design so those of you who were looking forward to her layout she will get one done at a later date. Mom designed this layout. She had pulled some of the Bazzill prints to make a layout but it didn't really come together for her until her Cricut class with Carol. Carol designed the purse and it was part of her Cricut Cartridge class using Kate's ABC's. She had used some of the papers mom had chosen so . . . the purse became mom's inspiration.

I want to thank all who endured the HOT store and crop room this weekend. The air conditioner broke. We now have a new unit to help us escape the heat a play. Thank you Jim Dolan from Clean Breeze who come to the rescue. You are my hero!

Our 50's attire is packed and we are off to Creative Escape for an amazing scrapbooking adventure. I will be doing post to share the experience with all of you. Thank you Alec, Margene and Susan for watching the store while we are gone.

Weekly Layout by Susan!

It may still be super hot out but we know summer will come to an end soon. A sure sign that Summer is over is seeing the schools buses back on the road, the school supplies are all over the stores and you may just be on the verge of strangling on of those little darlings. For me, it has been one of the best summers ever! Susan has created an adorable layout to capture those special memories.

The results of my CHA adventures are coming in daily. New product is here and is brightening the store everyday. Come check it out!

The sampler is filling up and I am positive you will not want to miss this one. Call soon to reserve your seat! These sessions still have seats Friday September 30 1pm, 4pm and Saturday 1pm, 4pm and 7pm

Happy Scrapp'n
