HAPPY HALLOWEEN...
Just between you and me and the gatepost, Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays. However, these past few years, I have been happy to see local malls, churches and other caring organizations open their doors to children for safe trick-or-treat options. That's my two cents. Now Thanksgiving... That's another story! XOX Linda

October 28th at 4:00 PM ...
I just received a very nice email from Judy Rowland, Melbourne, Florida, and decided to respond here. After all, isn't that what a web log (blog) is about. Communication!
Judy inquired about the TOMBSTONE, and wondered why there was not a Supply List so she could have a roadmap to make this card. Here you go, Judy...
Supplies & Accessories: Stamp Set #111500 Full of Life; Textured Card Stock #121078 Basic Gray; Stampin' Pad #115657 Soft Suede; Stampin' Write Marker #120966 Basic Gray; Big Shot Medium Sizzlits Dies #113450 Go Go Boots Alphabet; Tools #106958 Cutter Kit, #100663 Stylus, #101610 Stamping Sponges.
Judy, I loved your email. It inspired me to add the supply list for YOU! I don't know about other bloggers on the World Wide Web, but for me, diversity is very refreshing. For example, when I decided to post five Halloween projects this week, I got feisty knowing I'd be working with ghosts and goblins. (I'm having an EEK WEEK, because Halloween isn't really my thing!) There are other reasons I enjoy changing-it-up... like when my agenda blooms from busy to busier... like when my creativity kicks in from 100% to 200%... like when my hubby offers to take me on a last minute date. Besides, the Pioneer Woman recently said we should shake things up when we blog... That we should have fun... That we should be varied!
Oh! Here's another reason... As of December 2007, there were a reported 112 million blogs. Goodness! I've opted to not take myself too seriously while spreading a little unpredictable creative wonder.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER EVENTS...
If I were any more excited about the events in November and December, they'd have to cart me away! Okay gals... There's lots of good info on this one-sheet-flyer! So read it... Digest it... Absorb it... Then, contact me to register! We'll have fun and you'll go home with some fabulous treasures! I promise!
(Download to see a full-size copy)
YES!! You read that right! NEW LOCATION... After years and years of holding classes and clubs in my home workshop - we're growing, literally out the door! So look out Vancouver, we're coming to you and planning to enjoy some quaint, some not so quaint, public meeting rooms, restaurant-type places, church parlors and comfy homes, to meet for stamping!
The good news is (and you already know this from experience), that I'm one of the most organized people on the planet, so you have some real treats and surprises in store as we move out and spread our wings and fly beyond ourselves to lands faraway! (Now I'm getting carried away with myself! I'm a little high, because on this very day, I'm doing a demo at *Regional's and I'm sure there will be at least 7,000 people there. Okay, perhaps I added one too many zeros!)
HERE WE GO!

*Stampin' Up! is holding four full-day Regional Seminars this fall in Portland, Fort Worth, Baltimore and Hamilton, ONTARIO. (Thousands of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from across the United States and Canada will be attending to enjoy stamping, swapping, inspiring messages, creative demonstrations and fresh ideas!)

HOLIDAY PROMOTION BUNDLES...

EVEN BEARS NEED TO SLEEP!
I saw a Bear in a Sleeping Bag card at a recent Stampin' Up! event, and couldn't resist CASEing it. (Copy and Share Everything.) Of course I had to add a few of my own touches - like the sleepy eyes and the ribbons and the "adorable" hang tag.
Here's how to make the sleepy eyes... Punch two "eyelids" from plain matching card stock (not textured) with a 1/4" handheld circle punch. Trim a little off each lid. Use a marker to draw dark lines on the edges and glue in place. I heard that bears toss and turn when they sleep, so I tucked him in with the ribbon. He's so adorable - at least when he's sleeping.
