Lots to love these days! But one of those things is NOT the snow! I was going to run errands today until I looked out the window and saw this!...
We've been so spoiled this year and this is our first real white-out type storm, so I guess I can't complain too much! I just need to fly to Chicago in the morning, so I hope I get out! I'm on an early flight so I have most of the day to get there. I'm looking forward to my first classes of 2012 at Creative Cuts and Crafts. Once again it's great to get to see lots of friends there!
This morning I found this "word art" on the table in the family room... I think two of my favorite sweethearts were watching a movie in there last night! Love is in the air! (Last Saturday he took her snowboarding for the first time... trying to find something fun to do in the snow!)
Another thing to love... I'm seeing lots of previews of new products that will debut at CHA (the Craft and Hobby trade show) next week! Yesterday was a live preview online for the new 7gypsies release. I loved what I saw and am so inspired for new classes later this spring! I especially loved the Trousseau collection that comes out in late April. I couldn't resist taking pictures of my computer screen during the preview! This is a picture of some of their inspirations for this collection:
LOVE!! Here's a couple of the papers...
I really love the new book covers with the window in them and the new journaling cards (and lots more!)
Paula Cheney made a gorgeous shadowbox using the 7gypsies 4x6 tray using pieces of this collection...
They give prizes during the preview and I was lucky enough to be the first one to answer a question correctly (What store was 7gypsies products first sold in? ... Memory Lane in AZ) and won a fabulous prize! I won a pack of each of the papers in the Trousseau collection and so you know I'll be dreaming of the class I'll create with it!
Do you like this new collection as much as I do?
Great papers and can't wait to see what you do with them.

Really like the 7gypsies papers and book covers. I don't like that snow. Glad you didn't have to go out in it. Be safe going to Chicago and have a fun time. Your lovebirds are so cute.
