Almost Ready for Chicago!

Good Morning Everyone!

So sorry for the lack of blog post lately! It's been busy around here lately!  LOL!  Really busy!!

I am teaching 3 classes at Creative Cards and Crafts in Chicago this Friday!  Gosh, just typing that gives me a twinge of anxiety.  Why?  Because we have been kitting madly for these classes for two weeks now and I need to get back in there and begin again...Four days left!  Hahaha.  Hence, my lack of blog posts.  Hopefully by today it will be done!.  Almost there..Sometimes I just need to shut down and get 'er down and focus...So I apologize again for the lack of the written word on the blog.

When we kit around here and folks see that I am cutting (100) 1/4-inch x 2-inch pieces, their eyes roll back in their heads.  It's like really Jim!  I know, I know, but if that's what it takes to make it perfect, then so it is!  LOL! 

I cannot thank my kitting crew enough!  Thanks you Cesar, Barb, Kay and Kim for all your tireless work to always help me get these projects together.  YOU ROCK!!!

I also want to take the opportunity to thank Tim Holtz for sending me the configuration box inserts I needed to do the roll top desk.  He had just enough and a few spares... just in case! He was truly a godsend!  And THANK YOU Mario for packing them up and getting them to me!  You Both Rock!  Yahooo!

Just for fun, here are a few pictures of the craziness happening around the farm...






 
Well, better get back to it!  Have an amazing Sunday Everyone!
