Nice to finally meet ya!


Okay, I love Ohio!! Why? Because 3 of my favorite scrappers are from there.. AND I got to hang out with them on Saturday!!! We had so much fun. =) We had a little lunch at Chipotle and then looked through each other's albums. Man, it was AWESOME to see all the girls' pages up close and personal. They are a bunch of talented bunch of scrappers, that is for sure!! We revealed our ad challenge.. of course everyone's was beautiful!! Erin's wasn't quite done.. hey, totally forgiven.. she's got a CUTIE-HEAD baby to keep her busy! We went over to Archiver's to shop after lunch. It was so fun to roam through the store with all the girls.. we all had different ideas for different products and yeah, it was just awesome. =)

I'll do a little recap of each of the girls and how I met them and what they mean to me. =)


Erin was the first pea friend that I met from 2Peas.. so yeah, she holds a special place in my heart. =)Gosh, I love this gal! I originally emailed her to tell her how much I loved one of the pages she did of her dad. We both share the loss of a parent so we've chatted about that and EVERYTHING else! (hehehe.. you KNOW what I'm talking about, Erin!) There were lots of emails that had to do with lil' miss Emma.. "Um, is she here yet?" And then Erin followed with a big fat "NO!" I also got to meet Miss Emma on Saturday and Yeah, she is the SWEETEST, most adorable baby!! Erin's scrap style is one that I probably relate to the most. =)

Gosh Rachel, how did we even start chatting? I can't even remember!! I think it may have had to do with the loss of our parents too!! (Seriously.. this is NOT a good thing to have in common, but man, do these girls understand.) Rachel is just the sweetest.. she's also been an amazing friend over the past months. We've been known to send book long emails talking about awesome and not so awesome things going on in our lives. I just love this girl!! And don't we agree that she works MAGIC with ribbon? Gosh, LOVED seeing your work up close and personal!

Grr.. blogger isn't letting me post anymore pics!! Imagine Rachel and I's picture.. HERE.

Oh Nichole.. Our friendship started after I'd left her fun praise (Prolly about your handwriting or your gorgeous circles!) and she emailed me to tell me that she liked my praise. =) We started chatting after that about her wedding and such. This girl has MAD scrap skills and yeah, she doesn't plan on selling her handwriting as a font any time soon, but if she does... she said I may possibly be the only one that's allowed to purchase it. YES!!! Nichole is SO sweet and just the cutest!! You are going to be a beautiful bride and I'm so honored to call you a friend, chica!!!

Again, imagine Nichole and I's picture, HERE!

Okay, maybe blogger will let me post my recent ad challenge. On top of our Am Ex ad challenge with the questions and use your handwriting funness Erin added, I challeged myself to use this pretty red Cloe's closet patterned paper from Imagination Project.

And.. it's not letting me post. Ahhh.. the suspense.. yeah, I'm humoring myself here. =)

My sister and I also had an amazing time.. but I'll dedicate an entire post to her next time including pictures from Saturday =)

Loved meeting you guys and we've got to do it again sometime soon. =) Saturday was a blast!!!
