exciting day!

Well it will be an exciting day at work today. Scrapbooks is part of sponsoring Creative Escape and there are loads of people here from all over the world this weekend to enjoy the event. Months and months of planning by alot of people and the excitment has been growing at work. There are turquoise and red things ( this years colors) floating around everywhere. So it's all been cleared out, boxes hauled away for the event store set up at a local hotel where the event happens. And today, 3 bus loads full of happy shoppers come our way. It's actually my design day to cut kits and sew but Barb and I will be dashing out as each bus comes to help on the floor and cut fabric, bag the newly bought treasures and such. We all have these fun t-shirts to wear today so it's out the door early to get ready. I worked the floor yesterday and there were lots of people coming in already from the event all excited for the getaway. We were busy getting things restocked and ready. I'm going to go clear a nice place on the couch for when I get home tonight! :-)

Finished !

For those of you following my craziness, if you remember the Apron Sweat Shop.....well, it's officially CLOSED ! yea for being done. I turned in the last of the 40 aprons last week, the scraps and extra fabrics are folded and returned and the HUGE mess is cleaned up ! My boss said I bet you are glad that is done, I told her YOU HAVE NO IDEA !!!!! So now to tackle the messy sewing room, I have one class sample to get finished and then I can focus on refolding and getting all the craziness put away from the last 2 months of "PRODUCTION" . The aprons actually are going to be sold at a very neat convention called Creative Escape http://creativeescapeaz.com/2010/event which is all linked to my new job at Scrapbooks Etc. http://scrapbooks-etc.com/2009/ They've linked my blog as a teacher to the stores blog so welcome to anyone that wants to read all the crazy things I ramble on about ! You'll be entertained with alot of craziness about my kids, my grandbabies and all the projects coming out of my brain. It's alot of nonsense...but it's ME !
That picture is the cute little t-shirt we are wearing to work this week, I'm thinking gosh it's got to be pretty stretchy for the "girls" to fit in, I think I'm going to be glad I'm wearing an apron !
