FILL THE SEASON WITH SMILES

Karen Giron has created another challenging sketch this week with Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #46! Notice how I can't seem to play by the rules and flipped mine? I also couldn't bear placing my circle to the left of the large panel either ... just had to center it! When I first started playing along with sketches years ago, I felt like I had to take the sketch so literally, but eventually learned that a sketch is something to be inspired by and to use as a guide or starting point.

I'd love to see how this sketch inspires you! For more inspiration, visit the Sweet Sunday Stampers:

Jen Tapler, Karen Motz, Laura Fredrickson, Lynn Put, Sarah-Jane Kale', and Vicki Burdick.

SOME RAKS, PHOENIX REGIONALS ...

It wasn't until last night that I realized an error in my last post about the Stampin' Up! Holiday Extravaganza Sale. The far right column that should show the bargain sale price doesn't show up! I don't know how to fix it so PLEASE go to my Stampin' Up! demonstrator website, click on "SHOP NOW", then "ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA" to see the real deals! Sale ends Nov. 30, so hurry!

Is anyone attending Regional Convention here in Phoenix, January 9? I am !!!! Please leave a comment if you're attending!

Here is a beautiful collection of RAKs I've received offering support through my mom's brain cancer diagnosis, and some "just for fun" cards too. Many of you have been praying for my mom, and leaving words of encouragement and support here on my blog ... THANK YOU !!!! Mom will be having surgery on Dec. 10 to remove the brain tumor. I'll be going to Omaha to be with her that week.
