THE BIG SECRET IS OUT!!!

So... I think it's okay to now shout it out because it is up on their website:)



It's official and I am extremely honoured to share with you that I have been asked to be one of the instructors at Creative Escape in Arizona, August 26-28, 2010!

For those of you that do not know, Creative Escape is the creme de la creme of Scrapbooking events! Absolutely everything about it is first class:) Although I have never been, the reports all come back that there is not a better event ANYWHERE! 750 people from around the globe descend on an amazing resort in Arizona for one wild weekend taking classes by leading industry experts.

In the line up this year:
The one and only HEIDI SWAPP (imagine my surprise when I was in Colorado at Tattered Angels giddy with excitement over my news only to find out that Heidi was their NEW "Angel" and would be there with me for a couple of days! And I actually managed to keep my mouth shut about BOTH secrets all this time...lol!

The UBER talented Teresa Collins . I have always been a huge fan and love her fun style.

Maggie Holmes ... everything she seems to touch becomes a beautiful work of art! I cannot wait to get to know her better and maybe some of her talent will rub off :)

Pam Black... extremely creative and inspiring!

And little old me... I am still over the top excited! I am looking forward to being able to be a part of this event and know that it will be a PHENOMENAL experience:) I am still in shock that I got asked to play with these girls... WOW! I am pretty certain that Doug's (Mr. Bazzill) ears are still ringing as I squealed with delight so loudly when he called and asked if I could fit it into my schedule.... uh YES... I am pretty certain I can MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! LOL!

I have the preliminary plans for my class already and I am pretty certain the folks in attendance will be blown away with the generosity of my class sponsors! I have them in place already and am humbled by their willingness to support me and my classes:) It goes without saying that I also hope my mojo faerie is good to me and helps me create a project worthy of this type of event (no pressure, eh?!). Just kidding... I think things should come together nicely (that's me thinking positively... maybe if I keep thinking it, it will happen ;)

So who is hoping to come? Check out their website HERE for more details and how to register (I think there is a lottery process that you have to register for). I am pretty sure you will hear lots more about this event in the coming months and without a doubt I am tickled pink to be involved!

Now... onto some other fun stuff, real quick before I gotta run! My Mind's Eye... 12 days of Christmas posts are happening every day and you MUST run on over and check out some of the fun projects. They are generously giving away some great prizes each and every day so it is worthwhile to leave a comment... it just might be your LUCKY DAY! Their blog is HERE...


I have a lot to do today as we leave tomorrow to spend Christmas with my sister Deana and her family! I am so excited about this as it has been YEARS since we were together for the holidays and I do not think all of our kids have ever been together for Christmas so this will be a year to remember! My parents will be there too:) I have presents to wrap, baking to do (yes... ME! I actually plan on baking!) and packing to do. I am praying for enough hours in the day and safe roads for our trek to Calgary:)

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a safe and joyous holiday!!!!
