I'm back and my head is spinning.....

Looking at my "To Do" list that needs to get finished before next week..... I leave EARLY Wednesday morning.... at what Russ calls "O-Dark-Thirty". My flight leaves at 6:30AM, meaning I have to be at the airport by 5:30. Well, he leaves for work around 5:15, so he is taking me and we are leaving at 5, meaning I will have an extra 15-20 minutes to kill at the BEAUTIFUL and EXCITING Sacramento Metro (Oops! Sorry - INTERNATIONAL) Airport....(ok - we all know I will still be working on convention stuff)

Good news is that the swaps I signed up for are DONE. As are 20 cute little tins I made to trade on the general floor and some little bottle collars. Nothing is labeled or put into clear envelopes yet. I will print out the labels and save that for last, since it can get done on the plane if I need to. This is the SHORT list of what I still have left to do.....

  • I need to check and make sure all the clothes I am planning to wear still fit.
  • I need to break in the shoes I am wearing.
  • I need to do roommate gifts.
  • I need to do a couple doorprizes still.
  • I am working on another project that needs to be done.
  • I am making little cards/mini-gifts for my "Spamily". I need to have one of them DONE by next Tuesday since it is getting mailed to our Spamily member who isn't able to make it to Convention.....
  • I need to dye my hair and get it trimmed.

If I get it all done by the end of the weekend, I may reward myself with a manicure on the 24th. Of course, then with my luck, I'll break a nail while I'm packing.....

I got a FABULOUS birthday present in the mail from Julee (Shadowcatcher) that was in the mail I picked up on the way out of town last week..... She gave me a 6x6 pad of Basic Grey "Infuse" papers (which I look forward to playing with AFTER convention!) and some cute little phrases that are the perfect size to fit with the SU! Word Window punch. Here is my birthday card.... she knows I LOVE Hula Sprinkle!!!!! This card is just covered in glittery goodness too!



So that's all I have for now.... I need to unpack the 5 little boxes of stamp stuff back into the stamp room and get some work done in there.... Wish me luck!!!!!

SURPRISE!

Every once in a while I get something in my mailbox that is TRULY a surprise. I've belonged to a couple different RAK (Random Act of Kindness) groups over on Splitcoast, so getting cards in the mail, while still TOTALLY AWESOME, isn't as surprising as it once was.

Until today.

In 14 years, this is a first... TAZ got a BIRTHDAY CARD!

Yes, boys and girls, MY CAT GOT MORE MAIL TODAY THAN I DID! LOL!

And should you be wondering who is sending my CAT a birthday card, it would be none other than Julee (Shadowcatcher) Tilman and her cat, Katie. Well, I'm not sure how much Katie had to do with it.....

Here is Taz, checking out her card (Mmmmmm.... RIBBON!!!!)




And here is a closeup of the card, The cat and sentiment stamps are by Cat's Pajamas. You can check out Julee's blog for tons of awesome artwork featuring their stuff! (there's a link over on the right under "Blogs I read")



Thanks, Julee and Katie!!!!
