New Gallery almost fixed…
Hang in there… I’m working on adding the rest of the blog banners to the new gallery.
Recovering from a vacation
Hello everybody!
I’m back from the fair! I made lots of sales, booked workshops and got a new downline… now its time to get back to banner work until my next fair in 2 weeks.
Yes, I’ll be doing this again in 2 weeks. I have myself booked into the other local fair.
I have 4 banner customers lined up which I will get finished before the next fair, but will need to schedule more banner work for after the second fair is over.
Summertime county fair season is upon us… so sit tight while I work these fairs and things will get back to normal in late August when they are done!
Not to mention all the new changes we will see in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog! I’ll be watching bloggers for updates from convention!
And NOW… for some pigs and chickens…
This week is the Racine County Fair!
Every year, I have a stamping and scrapbooking booth at this local 5-day Fair! It is the joy of my summer! Non-stop stamping and scrapbooking for 5 days in a row, 12 hours a day!!!!
Not only THAT, but I can eat as much good food as my heart desires! Pies, Farm breakfasts, Corn-on-the Cob, Ice Cream, Cream Puffs, Cheesecake on a Stick, baked potato with everything on it! And all at my beckon call whenever I want!!!!
It is a stamper/scrapbooker’s DREAM!
Since I’ll be at the County Fair this week, I will have limited time at home. I WILL be answering my email. Every night, when I come home from the Fair, I’ll check my email and respond. Any banner or graphic design orders will be started when I get back from the Fair. Tuesday, July 29th at the earliest.
A girl needs a break from the computer, doesn’t she??

Here is a FREE Decor Elements button for use in blog sidebars
I made this Decor Elements button for a sidebar, and I thought others would be interested in using it too.
