I know you may think that's odd but it's absolutely the most fabulous scrappin' organizer that you could ever imagine. I was introduced to FatMax by Denise Black who is the Close To My Heart demonstrator at our crops & retreats. I was totally green with envy over this extraordinary contraption. Just check it out! <br />

See what I mean! This box... rolling cart.... organizer (whatever you want to call it) is WONDERFUL!!!! It's absolutely SCRAPTABULOUS!!! <br />
<br />
And, guess what? My scrappin' partner in crime, Summer convinced her darling husband that she needed one too. LOL... and then just 2 days later, my mom calls and said she got a FatMax from her darling husband too...... WOW!!!! (I probably should've bought stock in Stanley Corporation). So anyway.... Me, my FatMax, Summer and her FatMax are off to the NC mountains this weekend to meet up with Denise and her FatMax along with some other wonderful ladies to do some scrappin' & yappin'!<br />
<br />
I'll let you all know how all 3 of the FatMax's (whew) were able to get along!<br />
<br />
See ya later!<br />

It was wonderful! We had 7 new ladies join us and they were a perfect fit with the regulars! <br />
<br />
Some worked on page layouts, some on cutting & layering embellishments and even one lady worked on wedding invitations that she was hired to make. I spent was seemed like hours trying to get the hang of my Design Studio. Thank goodness there was a couple of ladies there that straightened me out! WOW!!! I don't know what I would've done without them!<br />
<br />
Here's some pics of our excellent day!<br />

It seems time has really gotten away from me.<br />
<br />
Oh well... I'm here now! <br />
<br />
I've been very busy the last couple of days reading blogs and then reading some more blogs... scrappin' blogs that is... all this research is keeping me from climbing the walls and I'm getting some super tips and techniques along the way. <br />
<br />
Also, I talked with a lady last night about doing a "swap" or "round robin". If you don't know what a "swap" is then let me explain....<br />
<br />
you get 10 to 12 scrappers to commit.... Let's say we get 12... ok... each person will be responsible for getting 12 pieces of one item such as cardstock or buttons or paper or some sort of embellishment or sticker or such and then each of the 12 scrappers will send their 12 items to the organizer and then she will package them all up so that each of the 12 ladies will get 1 each of the 12 items.... The organizer will then mail the packets to each person and voila.................. each person has the fixings to complete a page layout... This is a great way to get rid of some of you stock or inventory (if you have that many of 1 item). Does this make sense? I think it's a great idea... Let me know what you think and if you would be interested in being a part of us starting a swap.<br />
<br />
I'm going to do a little more research on the round robin and then we'll talk about doing that as well.<br />
<br />
Well, I'm going to get off here now and do a little more scrappin' research... I'll keep you posted on what I find.<br />
<br />
Luv to u all!<br />

Too many people have lost their jobs and homes and the economy has continued to cause problems. I continue to hear stories on the news that make me want to cry for the hardships that seem to be everywhere. Even though these hardships and negative economy issues are still tops news stories, I have to believe that better days are ahead. I choose to have faith in us... the people of this country. <br />
<br />
My strength comes from my faith in God and the belief that my fellow Americans will come together to turn this country around. I believe that we all must make real efforts to stay strong, work hard and never ever give up. This faith and these beliefs are the reason for my working so diligently over the last couple of months making some amazing plans for 2011. <br />
<br />
I have talked with many many hotels and event centers trying to set up scrapbook crops and retreats in some really great locations for the upcoming year. I have been successful with many of those locations. The way I see it,.... we have to work very hard to turn our country around so we need to work equally as hard keeping ourselves entertained doing things that we enjoy such as our scrappin' and paper crafting habits. I hope you'll look over my list of events that are planned for 2011 and try to work it in your schedule to make some time for your habit of scrappin' and having a little fun with some old and new friends. It's a known fact that laughter with friends is the best medicine for whatever ails you....<br />
<br />
The 2011 event schedule:<br />
<br />
February 19, 2011 - Country Inns & Suites - Morrisville NC (day crop)<br />
<br />
March 18, 19 & 20, 2011 - Holiday Inn - Statesville NC (weekend retreat)<br />
<br />
May 20, 21 & 22, 2011 - Holiday Inn Express - Wilkesboro NC (weekend retreat)<br />
<br />
June 17, 18 & 19, 2011 - City Hotel & Bistro - Greenville NC (weekend retreat)<br />
<br />
August 19, 20 & 21, 2011 - Blue Ridge Assembly - Black Mountain NC (weekend retreat)<br />
<br />
The details for each of these events can be found on my <a href="http://www.meetup.com/NC-Scrapbook-Crops-Retreats">website</a>. You can even take advantage of the $25 discount on each of the full weekend events by registering before the end of 2010.<br />
<br />
I will continue to work hard to ensure that our lives individually and as a nation of friends and families is restored to a better way of life. I will also continue to work hard to make sure that we have time for friends and families and the hobbies that we love. I hope to meet you in the upcoming year and have some "fun" scrappin' & yappin' together.<br />
<br />
Your scrappin' friend always,<br />
<br />
