Wow was this a long day! I had a great time over at the Scrap and Stamp Nest after enjoying the hospitality of the store owner, Susan. Delicious meals, beautiful home- she and Greg could open a B & B.
The ladies in class were terrific and each Bloom Box came out great and expressing the style of the maker. Class ended around 3:30 so by the time I got packed up it was almost 5. I am sorry I don’t have pics of our class- my phone was completely dead. It has been a challenge to remain connected with all devices properly charged and functioning.
I was hoping to make it to Erie, PA to stay with my friend Irene who I have known since second grade. It was a 471 mile trip so I got in and started driving… At about mile 400 I had to pull over. So happy to have Scotty! I cleared off the bed and settled in for a comfy 5 hour sleep and woke refreshed and ready to drive again. There is a story about the rest stop which I will share tomorrow.
Right now I have to finish a video for Sizzix. Life goes on whether the #PaperTrail is happening or not.
Sizzix asked all of their licensed artists to make a two minute video of the summer release. I thought no one would do a better job of making the new dies looks amazing than my Inspiration Team Members
and Team ATB
I was so right- the samples are amazing! I cannot WAIT to be able to share the new collection with you!
Signing off and sorry this is a day late!
Hi Eileen, that certainly was long drive, it was good that you had Scotty and could stop off for a rest! We are off to Scotland today for a week’s holiday (about the same number of miles as you did on this trip) so I may not be able to comment but I will be continuing to keep up with your wonderful journey – it is helping with my American geography too! Safe journeys. Anne xx
Can’t wait to read your rest stop story. Can’t wait to see your two-minute Sizzix video. Love that you have such a great creative team. Stay safe, see you soon!
I can’t believe you are doing all of this on your own. When I think of the driving(and parking), the packing and unpacking, the loading and unloading, the teaching, finding somewhere to stay each night, plus finding food, etc! Don’t know how you do it. Surely you need an assistant! I am enjoying your tour, good luck. P.S. And taking photos and writing your blog!
Marci- it has been quite the journey- so busy and really fun meeting everyone but like you said… lots to do! Thanks for following along!
