Alright gals! C'mon down! Paper Cowgirls is a mere 2 days away.
I'm excitedly putting together last minute details, planning food and fun and getting more nervous by the minute. We (Tina, the teacher's and I) are looking forward to meeting each of you and having a grand time, crafting and creating and hanging out. Looking forward to the creative energy, putting blogs with faces and just having an all around good time with those near and coming from a far.
As you can see the desk is neat and clean and ready for visitors. LOL! Sorry, no one is even taking a peep at that nasty studio. No way. No how. I've been scrambling to finish last minute projects for the vendor show. And from some of the things I've seen, it will be awesome. And we are trying out a fun, new thing...frosting shots. Should be interesting. If not diabetic coma inducing.
On a personal note, I have to mention the passing of another dear family member. We lost our beloved Aunt Adelle last week. She fought so very hard in her battle with lung cancer, but sadly lost that fight on September 16, 2008. She was a creative, warm, fun person with an beautiful smile, wonderful laugh and the best sense of humor. She and I shared a fondness for all things Martha S., decorating, our kitty cats and a love of reading. She was a great Aunt, confidante and friend. She will be greatly missed. 
And I wanted to send a huge thank you, hugs and kisses over to the lovely and talented Pam Warden. Pam was kind enough to feature me on her blog, Faith, Folk, Cafe. Thank you Missy Pammers! I sure do appreciate all you do. Thanks for the feature!
Well, better dash. Lots to do before TeeDubya arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend. I'll post lots of pics as soon as I can.
Happy Wednesday.
Are we going to have fun or WHAT?! See ya tomorrow!

Lovely write up at Pam's place. I was surprised to see that you "sing" to music playing. (:
I know Ms Adelle was pleased to have you in her life.
