July A Palooza!

Hello!

July has been a fun filled month - That is for sure!

The first week in July 7-13th was our 2nd annual A Muse A Palooza which was a week filled with fun A Muse rubber stamping events and classes.  Kicked off with our VIP event on Monday the 7th!  Thank you to all who joined us for this fun evening.  As always - Tami did such a great job with the projects! She even made these clever little party favors that everyone loved!

 

Then last weekend was our Granada Get Away!  I was only able to join the gang for Saturday night - but it was so fun!  Thank you Ladies!  Granada Get Away is a brand new retreat center in Granada, MN.  It is absolutely LOVELY!  Deb Kelly, the owner, has thought of every detail!  I didn't want to leave and I CAN'T WAIT to go back!  Check it out!  www.granadagetaway.net

ABC Book

Now that it is summer - the kids are asking what there is to do (yes - already!)  So I told my 13 year old daughter to go through some of the boxes of photographs and pick out her favorites.  She then scanned them using our new Kodak scanner and uploaded them to our Heritage Makers Studio site.  She then proceeded to complete this adorable ABC book which is a template that was designed by Pebbles Inc.  I was so impressed (as was she!)  I then located the lyrics to a song that my mom always sang to the kids and we used that for some of the text.  What a wonderful project!  And it was so fun to see which photographs she chose as her favorites.  I love this.
