It’s good to be back in the USA! I’ve had the best vacation this week… Mom and Dad picked me up at the airport on Monday and I got to spend the whole week with them! (My mom is the best cook on the planet.) Wednesday my sister and mom and I drove up to Sisters, Oregon, which is a gorgeous town about two hours east of Eugene, to go to the famed Stitchin’ Post quilt and fabric store. The three of us want to learn felting so despite the fact that we have no clear idea how to actually do it, we each now possess enough felting supplies, tools and idea books to open our own store. Thursday night I came up to Canby for webisode filming on Friday, then I’ll go back to Eugene for the weekend and my dad’s 75th birthday. (Yes, more great food too!) Then more filming and we’re off to Chicago for the CHA trade show. Whew! I’ve missed my family so much when I was in Amsterdam and this week has just been a treasure.

I’m also super-excited to pay Mom back for her great food with a set of our new stamps, which are the most amazing and gorgeous designs. I’ve had a prototype of the Winter Swirl stamp set since March and told Paulette I loved it so much I wasn’t giving it back! They stamp beautifully, and I love that you get so many great designs on one sheet. Love them, love them, love them!!! Check them out, if you’re a stamper you will definitely need these little guys! And check your local store for them, they’re debuting at the CHA show next week and I’m hoping store owners will like them just as much as I do!
