You'd think I would stop celebrating…after all, I'm only getting older.

Today I'm 53.

But what the heck!  Age is only a number, right?

My dear friend and sideline, Cindy Baughman, made me a gorgeous 6"x8" Project Life Album as a gift.  I love it so much that I've decided to create a class around this same size album. Look for details in another few months. The class will be on November 15th – just in time for your holiday gift giving.

My birthday "week" was extra special.  During Convention's Awards Night I was named to Stampin' Up!'s Founders Circle – the top 100 demonstrators in the U.S.

To hear my name called, then see it listed on the screen, made me jump for joy!  I'm so stinkin' excited!  As part of the Founders Circle achievement I will join the other 99 achieving demonstrators in St. George, Utah in September for a 5 day 'retreat' filled with pampering, shopping, sightseeing and of course, STAMPING! 

Founders Circle achievers traditionally receive a purse that's been created specifically to commemorate the occasion.  Here it is and I LOVE IT! I've already got it filled and am using it.

I've had a very, very blessed year and once again, thanks to all my customers, my Hawaii Ink team and my family. 

I truly beleive that no one achieves success without lots of help a long the way. 

Thank you for loving what I love – all the amazing Stampin' Up! products!
