Hi there, Crew! It's been so fun to read your blog comments with you chiming in from all around the world!! I LOVE that! Hello to each and every one of you!
One quick thing I want to clarify -- several of you commented that since you're in countries other than the US, you wished that Papertrey products were available to you in your country. THEY ARE!! Papertrey ships anywhere in the world! :) Last I heard, they were shipping to all continents except Antarctica, and that was only because no one had ordered from there yet! Haha! Now, I realize that the shipping to your individual countries may be quite expensive depending on where you are, but I did want to make sure that you all knew that Papertrey goodies COULD be sent to you, if you chose to order. You can also visit the Papertrey forum and see if there are other ladies in your country that might like to combine an order with you, to share the shipping costs. Just another option...
All right, so now that we've got that business out of the way, I'm running off on a little get-away with my hottie hubs this weekend!!! YAY! We're headed to Chicago bright and early Saturday morning. Yes, I know that it's release week at Papertrey Ink! YES, I know that I have new Raspberry Suite stamps being released this month! YES, I know that I've got countdown posts to share with you each day starting Friday! LOL!! I toooooooold you I've been busy in the studio!!! Hahaha! I've been working my fanny off this week (oops.....I think our Aussie friends told me that 'fanny' isn't a nice term in Australia?!)........Ok, so I've been working my "behind" off (is that better?) :) trying to get all of my projects and blog posts completed before we leave town.
It's a long weekend (at least for some people) here in The States with Monday being the Columbus Day holiday so we planned this little get-away months ago. Everything's all set. Riley dog's Auntie and Uncle are coming to stay with him while we're away (we LOVE that they do that for us) and we're heading for the Windy City! I will have scheduled Countdown posts for you each day while we're gone so you won't miss any sneak peeks at my newest Raspberry Suite set! In fact, those sneak peeks are starting a day early this month, so my first post will go live tonight at midnight, EST!!
As usual when we travel, we'll be taking the Nikon and I'll bring back lots of photos to share (I'll post them after the Papertrey release! HA!) but, in the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter where I'll be tweeting about our adventures in Chicago. I'll probably even throw in some TwitPics from my iPhone! You can also check in here at the blog-o for my Twitter updates -- they're over in the right hand side bar.
And before I go pack and finish my last minute preparations for the trip, I thought I'd leave you with a few more cards that were published in the September issue of CARDS Magazine. Enjoy! The first two are all Papertrey goodies, and the last one has rub-ons and patterned paper from Stampin' Up!
Oh, and just so you know, I've also been working my "behind" off on the elliptical this week......you know, so I can eat some Chicago deep dish pizza and maybe some Garrett's popcorn, etc.!! *wink* All bets are off when it comes to eating in Chicago....it's all about the food there! And besides, vacation calories don't count, do they????
Have a great day, Friends....I'll see you back here tomorrow (late tonight) with my first Countdown post!
Can't wait!
P.S. Hey, Chicago Peeps -- do I need to bring my winter coat this weekend?!! I heard it's in the 40's this week!
