I went to my Demo meeting last night and as usual enjoyed the chance to breath a huge sigh and relax, have lots of laughs, and stamp and share. We all made a swap and shared what we had been doing over the last month, there were good snacks and great ideas. It is this time every month I get to be with my friends and be me...not the wife, not the mom, not the daughter or sister, not Chiropractor's assistant, not Religious Education Director, not Sunday School Teacher, Just ME! After a long day at work I got in the car for my 45 minute ride and when I got there my age was showing. After being on my feet all day and doing therapies for hours at work I was very stiff. I remember the days when I would Spring out of the car and bounce into the house. My springing and bouncing days are over girls, it was more like slowly hobble and wobble in. I have fun from the minute my backside hits the seat. The day melts away with my aches and pains and in minutes I am acting like a kid, teasing...joking around...laughing, it is such great fun. I have two cute projects I will share over the next couple of days that we got to make at the meeting. One Heather brought for us and the other was Jan's...they are so pretty! For now, here are those BEAUTIFUL cards I promised to share.
Aren't they BEAUTIFUL!!!!

So there you have it. Swapping: making a preset number of cards (7) and trading them, going home with one of your own and 6 others. Okay girls, who wants to SWAP at my next stamp camp?
