HaPpY FaThEr'S DaY!

I am so blessed with my wonderful family!

We were able to be together for Father's Day yesterday.

This is the first time my brothers and my sister and I

 have been able be together in over 5 years.

 

 

That's my Daddy right there center-stage.

He is so proud of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren!

Art Charms Swaps...and Give-Away

I've been in a few art charms swaps lately and wanted to share what I made...

 

 

This one was for the "It's All In The Numbers" Charm Swap

with the Art Charms Yahoo Group.

 

I also made this one as part of that swap.

 

And this one is another charm I made

since I was in two different groups in this swap.

 

This charm is from another charm from a swap I hosted -

"Variety Is The Spice Of Life"

on the All Things Tim Yahoo Group.

 

Here's the other side of it.

 

And here's another charm from that swap.

 

So now for a GIvEaWaY...

 

Just leave a comment for a chance to win this little charm.

 

Thanks for visiting my blog.

blessings, denise  :D

Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi --- Oh, My!

 

 

This past weekend I flew to Dallas to visit my sister ---

and attend The Great American Scrapbook Convention.

 

My main focus was to visit the Stampers Anonymous booth...

 

 

...where I got to see Wendy Vecchi.

I was privileged enough to have Wendy personally help me -

With picking out lots of Art Parts and Stamp Sets

as well as demonstrate her new embossing paste and stencils.

 

It is absolutely awesome - lots of possibilities.  :)

 

Then when I got ready to check-out (I spend way too much $$$!),

what a pleasant surprise...

Mario's son (left) and Mr. Stamper's Anonymous (middle) 

were there with the amazing Mario (right).

 

I was disappointed I didn't get a picture with Tim.

Every time I went by their booth, he was always demoing.

 

 

I learned lots about using his products and techniques.

 

If you haven't checked out their blogs - you oughta get on over there!
