Day 3 and 4- Paper Trail 3

12 Sep

The time has flown by since I left Virginia- it’s already been a week!

After two days of driving, I picked up my designer friend Cheryl Boglioli and we set off for Everything Scrapbooks and Stamps, a Crafter’s Home store… Although it was pouring rain when we got there, we waited about 20 minutes and it cleared up. However Scotty took on some water and will have to get looked at…

I would like to thank Michelle McCosh, the store owner, for showing us such a great time.

We were greeted with a gift basket filled with treats, drinks and Florida oranges (the Milano cookies lasted about one day- it was so hot we had to eat them before they melted!) The best part though was the adorable tag that was tied on the basket…

Here’s the account of the weekend as told by Cassia Holanda– she posted so many great photos and captions on Facebook, I just had to share- she cracked me up! She was the organizer of when and where we would pose for pictures and kept us entertained with stories of how she dressed up her dog, Tux-zito! That’s Cassia in the middle with friends, Cindy and Charo on either side. I was excited to meet someone named Charo! These girls are amazing artists and I learned a lot while I was there…

Here’s Cassia…

If you did not follow the Eileen Hull“s Paper Trail 2014 all the way to Everything Scrapbook & Stamps…..you will regret for miles to come! There was so much to learn , so much to play with, and looking ” out of the box” was the best part of all! One of her dies can create so many different projects!

Michelle McCosh and Nancy from ESS were the first hostesses of this trail of imagination! This was the Paper Trail first stop of a loooong USA trip! Sorry ladies , but we played with brand new creations that will only be out in NOVEMBER! But you can already order yours! :))

The ice on our cake was to be able to” visit” Eileen’s adorable camper which will be taking her and the dies, of course, across the USA!
We also had the wonderful Cheryl Boglioli as the Paper Trail Copilot!

This was an awesome weekend! Maybe one day the Paper Camper Trail will make a U Turn somewhere! and visit us again! — at Everything Scrapbook & Stamps.

OH MY!!! Who wants that most ADORABLE t-shirt ever??? We all do!!! How about an apron or a cool tote to carry our Paper Trail dies , Eileen Hull? ESS-7-ribbons

Michelle McCosh , do you think Charo Muñoz was trying to teach Eileen Hull to dance? the dance of the 7 ribbons???

Frances B. Lainhart our Mother Queen of Creativity and Happiness at Eileen Hull ‘s Paper trail Camper

Fun with Oly*fun… love this ladybug effect!

last class…

Eileen Hull ‘s Paper trail Camper Stove….my type of oven! Paper storage! LOL

More Oly*fun going on the Sizzix Recipe Card Box. Have you heard the good news? They will be shipping in November instead of December! Now you can get the Vintage Kitchen dies in time to use them for holiday packaging and gifts!

Robert gave me a tip about the leaking in the camper and possible solution.

Parked in front…

Great to see designer friend Susan Brown at class too!

Many MANY thanks to Cheryl Boglioli- I could not have done this class without her help… I owe her big-time!

OK, that’s all for now- more coming soon! Thanks for following the Paper Trail 🙂
