I started the day off with a Ranger Class taught by Tim Holtz, Claudine Hellmuth and 2 other talented Ranger Presenters. We completed 4 projects and received a ton of free product. Yvonne did a Tattered Angels Class which she enjoyed as well. Next was Flower Soft for me, 4 card project using some new card fronts, cute. Yvonne bedazzled her hand sanitizer container in a class by Jolenes, not a winner! (LOL) She can definitely locate it in her purse, however.
I went to a wonderful Canadian Workshop in the afternoon for 2 hours and was thrilled to find so many Cdn products that I will be bringing into my Shop. Yvonne took a mini album class by Punky Sprouts and a couple of other companies. Then we went to a new product room to see the newest hot items.
Mini burgers, pizza were on for the free reception food with brownies to die for. It is now 6 p.m. and we have one last class. Mine is Hero Arts which was 4 neat cards with lots of techniques. Yvonnes was
a Sissix class. Mine finished early and I waited for her. Yvonne comes out of her class toting a fabulous
prize, a NEW BIGSHOT!! Yeah Yvonne! My turn next!
It is now 11:39 p.m,., time to turn in, big day ahead tomorrow! Hopefully some pictures!
From warm Los Angeles,

But I will be having a ton of fun and sharing it with you. Please be patient and keep watching. Heartfelt Creations, Tim Holtz and Spellbinders are pre-orders if you see something you would like!

Finally- Fargocat Shops
Fargocat Shops Click on the blue letters to go to the new site.
I will be updating the site all weekend with some more Christmas Clearance Items
from Basic Grey, Martha Stewart, etc. I am also doing my end of year inventory at the same time. Please note that you may still find some items on sale under their current category, e.g. Spellbinders does not say clearance but there are items on sale in that category.
If you would like me to set aside something for you, just email me the item. Please note that you will see everything I currently have in my shop for sale by Wednesday or sooner depending on how easy it goes. It currently has about 60% of the merchandise loaded in. I have printed paper, cardstock, accessories and punches left to load in.
I hope you will like the ease of my new Shop Site. Let me know if you have any comments or concerns.
