Close as a Memory

What a busy week! I can't believe it's Friday already. I was pretty busy yesterday designing my swap for our quarterly Stampin' Up! meeting Saturday morning, and preparing for my class on Sunday. I made this sympathy card a few weeks ago for a friend who lost her mother, and was pleased with the way it turned out. I needed to come up with a card using a stamp set that is not being retired, and this one came to mind. Sad to say, I have 25 sets that are retiring and will not be in the new 2008 Idea Book & Catalog. That just means that there will be at least that many new way too cute sets that I'll think I have to have. I am always anxious with each new release to see the new catalog and what new products Stampin' Up! has for us.

I still have a lot of work to do, and we are having a pizza party and sleep-over with both Lily and Makayla tonight, so I need to get busy. Maybe I should try to work in a nap. HA!

I still have room in class, and class kits if you are interested. Let me know!
