I also went to visit my dad at his new place in NH for fathers day weekend, spent some time on "the strip" for bikers weekend, went out on the boat, went swimming.. just caught up… it was nice ๐Ÿ™‚
Bikerdad

Then we skip into July……
getting ready for a*muse*a*palooza  teaching a total of 10 classes, and 2 make and takes in 5 days! YIKES!! but it was a blast!! I have posted pics of the cards and events at ink about it  and colorful creations check them out here ! erin & her mom made me the *super* cute pink santas hat…. LOVE IT!!!

the week after a*muse*a*palooza we hosted a VIP night at my store.. this was an invite only event, where we had fun spoiling our customers!!! ๐Ÿ™‚ you can see a few fun pics from that night here ! Everyone *loved* meeting matt in person, they only see pics of him throughout the store… and thought he was a *fabulous* bartender ๐Ÿ™‚

We had tons of raffles, 2 amazing make and takes by melissa  & glenni ! Thank you girls!!!!

Let see… oh yea.. in the midst of all that we got our first shipment of ali’s new book !! Melissa and i did the happy dance when we saw her layout about colorful creations AND our silly dorm from cku-a ct ๐Ÿ™‚ how special we felt ๐Ÿ˜‰ ( thank you ali!!)

my girl stacy visited for a  whole weekend in july too ๐Ÿ™‚ how fun.. we had high hopes of going to the beach, but the weather had different plans, so we poked around, shopped ๐Ÿ™‚ girl talk ๐Ÿ™‚ and she came to my pet album class ๐Ÿ™‚

matt and i kitten sitted for tessa ( jaynes daughter) how fun and interesting that was ๐Ÿ™‚ i will have to dig up some of the photos and post them..

watcher wanted NOTHING to do with this cute lil kitten, which tessa named napolean ๐Ÿ™‚ what a BIG name for a lil kitty ๐Ÿ™‚

matt and i felt like we had a baby in the house!!!

melissas wedding was beautiful ๐Ÿ™‚ and everything was perfect!!! (pics to come)
