Day two at the convention
So today the convention itself actually gets started. It will open in the morning, I have two classes and some hours to shop. Should be a blast. I am sure I will be exhausted. What fun! I am taking a birthday card making class with Rubber Necker. I enjoyed their classes last year and another class that will be a fun giveaway class filled with tons of wonderful supplies.
in the meanwhile, check out my store, there's a sale: LacePlaceByHolley - Etsy
This cute little elephant comes from Notturno Digital Arts on Etsy. TOO CUTE FOR WORDS as the little stickers days. Cheers, Holley

Here's a card i made at the last convention in a class by Rubber Necker. I really enjoyed it a lot.While I am away, I am going to have a sale in my store: LacePlaceByHolley - Etsy

Chococat!!
Here's a fun card with stamps from Scrappy Boy. I just love his images. Esp one that has Chococat! For those of you who don't know, I am a HUGE fan of Chococat (one of the Hello Kitty characters) and I have a collection of chococat goodies. I got this great stamp set when I was at the last convention during a class I took taught by Scrappy Boy on coloring, which was fabulous by the way! And no I'm not using those coloring techniques here lol. Anyway I won the door prize in the class which was any kit in the store so you know I chose this one!!
It also has several of the other Hello Kitty characters in it. TOO cute. Check out Scrappy Boy stamps for some goodies.

So I took some cute gifts to the kids in Turkiye because I knew I would be visiting their class. One thing was called slap bracelets in USA theme. Perhaps you have seen these, they look like flat pieces of paper then you slap them on your wrist and they wrap around them. The next thing we got was those cute little squishy animals that the kids just loved. The last thing was an art project for all of us to do together. Here's several of the kids works:

Class Valentines
I made these class valentines for my older (4th grade) kids. I used some stamps from Recollections along with the cute heart square cards. I have since changed classes to move down to a part time job, but I hope the kiddos liked them.

Llama love
I wonder if people are starting to get their packages yet? I am guessing by this evening a few people will. Usually shipping from Austin usually takes two days, though to rural areas maybe three or four. PLEASE PLEASE tell me if you don't get your packages ever. Give the post office time, but eventually and sadly things do get lost in the mail. Boo!
Thought I would go back and share another Valentine that I didn't get to in February, this one is a cute Llama theme that i decorated the heart using a gel pen.

Coffee time Monday
Happy Monday everyone. I thought we could all use a little coffee theme card today. I know that's one of my favorite topics. I feel like I had such a busy weekend that I didn't get a break and now i t's back to work! Well, fortunately, we are just five days to SPRING BREAK. You know I used to think only kids looked forward to such things (back when I was a kid). Now I realize that teachers probably look forward to such things even more than the kids!
This cutie comes from Cat's Pajamas. I love this funny cat holding a fish bone. It says, "NO Coffee NO Talkee" HA! Wish I could tell the kids at my school that. Too funny.

Sending to you
Got a lot packed up and taken to the post office Friday. There's a lot of names below look carefully as a huge portion had already gone out.
Thought this card was funny and maybe a little appropriate today it says, "Sending you a little hog. Just pig-cause" Ha! I would always consider a package of crafts a HUG indeed!
