Quilts and More

 Today warents Two post... possibly three.. I am off to our business share and card swap in about 30 minutes.. so you might want to stay tuned.  But today my Friend Patsy and I went to Susan Adams' Stamp room!  OMG  You just can't image.  She not only is a Stamper but a Quilter.  She and Janet Baker design quilts together and make them.  This one has her Grand Children's name on the stockings.  The stockings are cut with our Big Shot and then new Stocking Die found in the Holiday Mini
 This is Janet on the left.  She was the 2nd Demonstrator to sign up with Stampin' Up! back in the Day.  It was such a joy to listen to the beginnings, growth and trials to what we enjoy today.
 Me showing you the cute Witches Shoe filled with Chickletts made from the same Stocking Die/Altered.. Can't wait to share this with you all in Person.

Day two Founder's 2011

 After a long wonderful  breakfast out side by the pool with my old friends and new ones, we entered the "Gathering Place"  It has changed since last night.. Grown over three times in size and furniture and candy for us to just sit and hang out. 
 Today's Treats
 Love Yogurt parfaits especially with fresh fruit. 

Fresh flowers everywhere!

 As we entered the Gathering place this was what caught my eye first...Yep Cupcakes.. Notice the "today's " special.. Wonder what tomorrow's special will be?
 These are the girls that made it all happen  Cut fun apron's
 Several different varieties of pillows thrown around on the furniture and all made with SU's new fabric!  AHHHMazing!

 This food was better than we have ever had on the Cruises so you know it was delish!  Steak wrapped in bacon topped with something yummy, Mashed potatoes and gravy, Steamed veggies and a slice of watermellon.
 Then topped it all off with Cheese cake... and it was banana cheese cake with carmeral I couldn't eat it all I should have brought it back to my room cause about NOW is when I really have room for it.  Oh well.. I KNOW there will be more fabulous goodies tomorrow!
Back in the room, on my bed was this box, this is one of the small boxes for Big Shot Dies.  Inside the box is to be announced later... I have to keep it a secret for now, but 
YOU know I will be sharing.

If you are my face book friend you probably saw some pics posted there.  This Pic is at our Dinner on Wednesday evening.  These other ladies are on the outside of the window of the hotel that was right outside of the dinning area.  So I pulled my chair out there to have some "tea" with them.  Stay tuned here and on Face book for more of what is going on.
