Over the moon!
I am beyond excited to visit the two stores I'm going to in the next couple weeks to teach classes! The first is Thursday, July 19, near Chicago, in the village of Deerfield at Fine Arts Scrapbooking. This is not a typical scrapbook store! I remember being wowed when I saw it a while ago as the featured store in Scrapbook Retailer magazine because it has chandeliers and marble and just looks so beautiful! Marci puts on fabulous events at her store! She's only about 20-30 minutes from Rosemont, so it's perfect for someone to come to if they are in town for CHA. You can call the store at 847-948-0300 for more information on the two classes I'm teaching.
Then the next weekend, July 27 and 28, I'm going to the fabulous new store that everyone has been talking about...By Design Scrapbook Boutique in Houston! The day the store opened Heidi Swapp had pictures on her blog, and they have been swamped ever since! I got emails from people that day saying that I just had to go there because it looks so much like ME! I'm so excited to be teaching three classes that weekend, and I have a feeling that they are going to fill up fast because the store is so busy. You can get more info on the store's blog and by calling the store at 281-488-9100.


Fine Arts Scrapbooking store is definitely my kind of thing too, two of my most favorite colors, black and hot pink! It sounds as though you've got a busy schedule and will have loads of fun. Keep me posted and I'd love to see what you are currently working on. Happy Sunday and God bless.

Wow, that looks like a cool place. Yes, I would wear pink too. You sound as though you are keeping really busy with all the things you love to do best, scrapbook, travel and shop in really neat stores. Have fun meeting a whole new group of ladies and I just know they will love to take your classes. They will probably ask you to come back again and again to teach more classes. Its a cool place to be, everybody loves the Chicago area don't they???? Have fun and enjoy yourself. Hope to hear all about it at your next class. Any word on your missing book yet??? Whoever took it, can't be much of a scrapbooker, or they would return it. After all they didn't do the work that makes the book so great and personel for you, so I hope whoever they show it to contacts you to let you know where it is. Maybe the security camera's in the building will show who took it. One can only hope.

Hi Deb!
Remember me? I saw your name at ScrapScene so I thought I'd check you out! Love your new place here!!! :) I don't live far from where you're going to be teaching in Deerfield! Maybe I'll stop in and say hi!
Take care now....

I am so excited that I get to attend one of the classes that you're teaching at Scrapbooks By Design in Houston. I was just looking at your blog and love your Germany scrapbook...
On another note: I'm a big Beth Moore fan myself. You know she's from Houston. What a gift she has for speaking God's truths! Her studies always challenge and inspire me.
Happy Travels...bring some cool clothes for Houston...it's HOT, and very humid here...but you will see palm trees :)!
