I've been scurrying around today trying to wrap up last minute things as I leave tomorrow for Chicago and the CHA trade show. We at Melissa Frances have some awesome product introductions. Our Christmas line this year, is my favorite yet...I can't wait to show it to you. After CHA, I will be taking a few days holiday with some treasured girl friends. Can't wait to share, dream, bounce ideas off, and be inspired by them. What a wonderful treat to look forward to. I can hardly wait.
For the CHA Melissa Frances product sneaks and peeks, please head over to the Melissa Frances blog where they'll soon be posting the latest for you. I won't be getting product images/samples up here until after the trade show.
The funny thing is that I've created a number of projects that will be posted here while I'm gone. You're going to hear more from me while I'm out of town than you have for the past two weeks while I've been at home! HA!
Enjoy this little sprig of lavender from my sweet momma's garden!
Sorry for the lack of posts over the past week. Like many who work in the scrapbook industry, I'm buried under assignments as the second largest trade show of the year begins very soon.
I thought I'd leave you with a shout out to the fab Ms Foof for securing a special speaker extraordinaire for Silver Bella. As an owner of every issue of Home Companion, I'm just over the moon excited. Every time I think that T can't possibly outdo herself, she does. What a fabulous kick off to the holiday season it will be!
I've got to get back to work now. Thanks for popping by I hope to have some Melissa Frances sneak peeks for you soon.
(ps - Do you like my newest wee doll? I really wanted to add another doll with shoulder plate to my doll head collection. But he/she is just so cute that I'm having trouble performing the head removing surgery. I think this one just may remain in tact!)
She loves me even when I'm stupid. Believes in me when I don't believe in myself and comforts me when I'm feeling low. I can do one hundred layouts about her and never capture how much she means to me. (layout published in the Canadian Scrapbooker Summer 08 issue)
This weekend I was putting the finishing touches on my projects for the Paper and Co. Show in France this fall. I'm SO excited about these classes and can't wait to present them for the first time at this amazing international event.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and for those Canadians, 'Happy Canada Day' tomorrow!
Such pretty, pretty images out there to spark our imagination and creativity. All images from Flickr.

It's here, it's here. It's time to talk Silver Bella again!! As always, Teresa has done an amazing job organizing what is sure to be a fabulous, artsy, inspiring weekend. In addition to my sweet friends Teresa, Kim, Pam, Rebecca and Charlotte, I'm delighted with the fabulous new teachers who will join the roster this year, my friends Jenni and Sally. Please stay tuned to the Silver Bella blog (link is above) for more details, but in the meantime, make sure that you're available the evening of June 30th for registration as the event usually sells out rather quickly. Yippee, I can hardly wait!
I wanted to leave you with a 'pretty'. Some great vintage finds. Barkcloth, vintage button cards, flower frogs, and a new (fake) birds nest...
I had the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session over at a Canadian Scrapbooking site called Scrapbooker's clubhouse, and it has been posted today. It was a pleasure to participate and I wanted to share the link here as they asked some great questions. I also created the following card especially for them:
I hope you're each having a great week.
