Let Us Hear Some Noise!
Have you ever been to a rock concert?
I mean a real ROCK concert.
At some point, the bandana clad front man usually screams "(insert city her)...I want to hear some NOISE!" and the croud goes wild. But of course it's never enough. And he screams at them again "I SAID I want to hear some NOISE!!!" And then the crown goes INSANE-O! ...

Home at last! Just ME Sarah Jessica and Jared Leto!
When I stepped off the plane and entered the Saltlake City airport I was hit by a frozen tundra and I found myself longing for Florida and the warm weather there. As I looked around the airport I realized that it was much more crowded than usual...suddenly I realized that I was standing by a lot of people in full length fur coats! Then I noticed someone who I thought might have been Jared Leto...then Sarah Jessica Parker...weird! At the end of the day when everything was finished at Gemstone and Beads, my good friend Terri Gordon stopped by brought me some great gifts! She gave me my own Krafters Purse, KPmini and the Komfycush! I was thrilled and it was really great to see her. Sue, Terri and I headed out for dinner and had a super delicious goat cheese and tomato bisque and a peanut butter desert that was to die for! We chatted away and ... Well it was time for my final day in Florida and I was driven from Sarasota to Orlando by a lovely gentleman whose wife is a botanical artist...It was so interesting to talk with him on our drive. She draws the technically perfect renderings of each species of flower, fruit, plant and vegetable. Her artwork was amazing! Sue Dees picked me up and took me to a dreamy Shop called Gemstone and Bead Imports. This shop is owned by Angela ... So after my super time at The Scrapbook Shoppe Amy and Jocie drove down and picked me up and we headed to K2 in Sarasota. This store is chic! Complete with black and cream damask curtains and chandeliers... how could it be any better? I arrived ready and jumped right into teaching the beLOVEd "love notes" class to a large group of ladies! It was so magnificent to see ladies in the class change up the project and make it ... Well after great food, fun and scrapping bliss it was time to say goodbye to Doyle and the gang in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Plantation and head to Tampa! Doyle came to my luxurious ant hotel to drive me to the airport in her kitty pajamas and on her birthday to boot! I hopped on a puddle jumper (earlier than I would like to ever have to wake up again) and in a flash I was being picked up by ... Next on the fun filled agenda was Paper Niche where they have everything imagined and everything paper! Now if you have a hard time holding back at your LSS then you would be in serious trouble at Paper Niche! Not only do they have a great selection of scrapbooking and paper supplies but... they also have beautiful blank invitation and stationary section...AND a gift section that might make you feel faint! I taught the beLOVEd "love notes" holder and the ... So off we went (Doyle and I) to The Scrappy Stamper in Miami. Let me tell you that a more fabulous stamp store would be hard to find! I bought the cutest little stamp that was a dinner plate, knife, fork and spoon....I am planning on embossing the utensils with silver and stamping the dinner plate in black and using it for a dinner party invitation! I taught the Botanical Bliss Stationary Portfolio and had a wonderful time. The ladies ... So I recently returned from Florida where I had the privilege to teach classes at 6 fabulous scrapbook stores! I will give a run down over the next few days of each store and what sweet, gracious and talented women I met along the way! Day one: I arrive in Ft. Lauderdale wearing my UGG boots and sweats, long sleeved shirt and hoodie only to be picked up by my dear friend Doyle Wasa wearing a sleeveless shirt, shorts and ...
