We leave at 6ish tomorrow (Fri) morning heading to Boston.  Note I said WE.  Yes WE!!!!  Because this time, I get to bring my HUBBY!  I am slightly excited if you haven’t guessed by the number of exclamation points.

Not only do I get his fabulous company, I get my own eye candy and don’t have to watch Emily and Ryan fawn over each other.  LOL!

Of course my BSF Alma will be there, and so will Joanne and her hubby.

Tomorrow is just a day to sight see (and by sight see I mean shop) and have dinner with the gang, on Sat I teach a class and have a sample frenzy.  Sunday is the trade show and Monday we fly home.

Quite a whirlwind, but I am getting excited now that the work art is done!

See you Tuesday!

Happy Wednesday!  If you are on my blog, then you must know about the March Mid-Month Release, Hop Around the Block.  Next up is the FABULOUS FRANCES and from there you’ll hit one joyous blog after another filled with eye candy of the two sets released right NOW!

Both Funky Flowers and Spring Sprouts were designed by Sara Williams, sister of Susan Liles, and creator of the FAB MFT watermarks and my signature (isn’t it THE cutest?).  After working with her, I fell in love with her incredible personality and obvious talent, and asked if she’d like to design a line of stamps!  Guess what?  She said YES!

I know you will love the fresh, funky and unique style of her work.  I think it complements our MFT Present line beautifully!

Here are the details for today:

We have a Mid-March Release Bundle available in limited quantities, Susan will be teaching and challenging you to LEARN.GROW.KNOW all about Masking with her HTDT? Tutorial!

And don’t forget to vote for YOUR Idol favorite HERE!

Good morning all!  A BUNCH of you guys checked out the Bubble Bin, it was a crazy day yesterday!  I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss Michele’s Weekly Spotlight info, she created a precious Tea for Two card using the Summer Pack.  Yes, Tea is sold out again.  Criminy, I truly can’t keep that set in stock!  I order, they arrive, they’re bought, they leave, again and again.

As much as I would love to post pics of the First Three Idol Contestants, my blog and I are having a bit of a disagreement today.  So, I will post links instead!

LittleSeaOtter’s It’s a Jungle Out There

Stamps’nCoffee’s Idol Relax

Kerry J’s Interactive Tea for Two

I’ll be back soon with more Top Ten finalists!

Today MFT introduces the BUBBLE BIN!

What’s the Bubble Bin? There are GREAT discounts on GREAT sets, for one week only.

Each Monday new sets will be added to the Bin and the current ones will be removed.

Some sets will rejoin the site at regular price and some will disappear forever.

In either case, check back each Monday to see what’s in the Bin for that week, and if there’s something you *need*, this might be your last chance!
