baby cuddles

right now i have a baby cuddling in my left arrm, head nuzzled in my neck.

i have to declare that this is the very best thing in the world-- even better than forehead kisses.

excuse me while i go wallow in warm happy baby cuddles.

It's almost Thursday...

OK--important stuff first. The Heidi Grace halloween papers (and some other schtuff) are back in stock.  Teresa Collins will be here in just over a week.  And THEY HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE WALL!!!!!  Hooray!!!!!!!!!!

And it looks really good.   Pardon our chaos still as we still get things set up and ready.  And watch for a really big party later in October to celebrate.

And for the random thoughts from my brain...I really do have this most wonderful hubby.  See, I am a HUGE Grey's Anatomy fan.  Watched it since the very first episode, and have only missed one episode-- and that was only because I was out of the country.  So, I have been a little worried about the move to Thursdays 9pm time slot.  That's an iffy hour for the munchkin.  So, my lovely and perfec hubby went out and got a DVR box today.  So now there are no more worries about missing an episode.  And no more searching 300 channels at 3am to find something other than an infomercial.  I will have my Grey's to watch and re-watch endlessly.  Oh happy day!

And for those Grey's fans who have not discovered it, here is the writer's blog: Grey's Anatomy Blog

And for my friends who always said 10pm was too late--- it's on at 9pm now, so CATCH UP!!!!!!

papertales happenings

So much is happening at the store lately.....

tons of new stuff is showing up daily--Basic Greys ribbons and chipboard and metals just came in, KI seasonal papers and color labs, Crate Paper, MME Bohemia and Signature Series.....and I could go on!!!!

So excited for Teresa Collins coming at the end of the month--- I feel so honored and lucky to have gotten to know her over the last few years-- she is such a doll!!!  I love her classes because she always teaches you so many techniques--- I still love her fabric flowers and use those all the time!!!  I just can't wait-- and she's bringing her hubby along, so that should be lots of extra fun!!

And Teresa's arrival should coincide with our biggest news yet--- our expansion!!!!  When all the dust settles, we will be one-third bigger--- and the new side will be all about cropping and classes!!!!  We will have lots more space for bigger crops and classes, and we will have some fun additions to our tool room as well!  Can't wait!!! Pardon our dust and chaos as they get ready to break through the wall, but it all will be worth it soon!!!!!!!!!!!

And not much for smiles when mom has the camera, but we got one!

First Road Trip

Erin had her first trip up north this weekend, and her first run in with real live sheep and a feeble attempt to photograph her with a pumpkin.  Hopefully she will be less of a weeble wobble by Halloween.
