"Howdy Neighbor!"

Howdy y'all!
   I don't really have anything creative to share with you today, even though I might later in the today. Today, I am off to our monthly Close to My Heart meeting. I find them so much fun that I try to put it in my schedule each month. Every month, a fellow consultant shows us how to make a project, and today we're going to make May Day baskets. If I can figure out how to make them easily enough, I will post some directions and pictures after the meeting (probably tomorrow as the meeting is an all afternoon thing, culminating with supper with some of my CTMH friends)!
   I'm really excited about today as I will get to put my hands on our new Summer Idea Book (set to come out in May for customers) for the first time. I have looked at it online already, and I think, seen most of the new products, but it's just not the same as holding it in your hands and seeing close-up each new product! If you can't already tell, I'm so excited!
   Maybe when I return from the meeting I'll share one of our new paper packs with you.
   I will tell you, though, that right now, it's looking like my favorite new product is a stamp set called "Howdy!" Maybe it's the farm girl in me (even though most of you probably wouldn't guess I came from a farm, as I'm not exactly an outdoorsy person) ... but I love this stamp set. I can't wait to make some cards from it! As another little teaser: "Hay there!"
   Some consultants sell the Idea Books, but we offer them free to anybody who makes any kind of purchase. And your purchase could be from the new Idea Book, available May 1. Contact me today to get your Idea Book!

My attempts at photo editing sites ...

Hey there blog readers! I know, I know, I was supposed to be posting more regularly ... I'm sorry. But my garage sale is done, so that means I should have more time to post, right? The reason I am posting today is for that Nebraska Learns class I talked about at the beginning of the month. Nothing like procrastinating - today is the last day I can complete it! ;) I am actually really enjoying this first "assignment." Our assignment was to play with photo editing sites. For my scrapbooking friends out there, I'm thinking this could do wonders for your already wonderful pages! As I was working on my second picture, I had an idea. There are many pictures - like that particular one - that I'd like to include in my scrapbook, but can't make myself create a whole page for a picture of a flower ... but can you imagine putting this photo of the flower on it? I can. How much cooler would that make the page? I could talk about where I was and why I took the pictu...

Happy May Day! Pampered Chef style!

   Today - May 1 - marks the beginning of two important things; both in Close to My Heart and The Pampered Chef.    I will make two separate posts so as not to confuse or undermine the importance for each company. Today's post will focus on The Pampered Chef. Check tomorrow or Monday to find out what's so special about May for Close to My Heart.    For The Pampered Chef, May 1 marks the 11th year of our Help With Cancer campaign. Since 2000, The Pampered Chef has donated more than $7.9 million dollars to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer education and early detection programs!    Just for the month of May, The Pampered Chef has five exclusive pink products available for purchase. For each item purchased, The Pampered Chef will donate $1 to the American Cancer Society.
