My Station Wagon full of angels

I just came back from an overnight trip to Woodstock, GA for an MDS class with Cindy Schuster nutmegcreations.blogspot.com and Monika Davis.  Make sure you take a peek at Cindy's blog as she is awesome....especially with MDS....oh yeah...her cards aren't bad either....lol....Her classes are so worth the time!! 
I decided to stay overnight....wonderful Anne Arnold invited me to stay (now there is a wonderful Christian family!!) to avoid the AM traffic from Alabama.  On my way to her house, my load of angels were ssssssoooo busy...I had my cruise control on 55 and this white truck pulled out into traffic .......If I didn't turn my car I would hit him broadside, if I turned to the left I would have hit the tail end of the bed ...I ended up turning to the right and literally missed the truck by less than an inch....luckily he hit the brake....when I went around the truck, I saw two teenagers sitting in the bed of the truck.  I think I was traumatized and shaking for about another 30 minutes of driving...there is no way those two teenagers would have stayed in that bed of the truck had their been an accident...I spent the rest of the drive thankiing God and my angels for watching over me....Have a blessed day...

Late Nite Stampers

I am a member of Late Nite Stampers...a lot of people from Stampin Up  on that site..and they are very inspirational...creatively and otherwise.   I (Fran Kennedy) am instructing at the preconvention with Late Nite Stampers.  Three years ago when I met Sherrill , I felt I had known her a long time...such a wonderful giving person.  Along the way, I got to know some of the instructors....such as Tami McCalla , Penny Silva and Kristi Kelly....a very creative group...also was fortunate to meet the wonderful Martie Shea.  Diane Squires and two other ladies (Karen Miller) and Ornetta are assisting in the instuction for the couple days before convention.  If you have not considered this...give it some thought for next year.  This is the third year I have been involved in the teaching end...you get wonderful projects to help you professionally or personally.  I can not say enough about the creativity of these instructors.  I am taking someone else's idea and adapting it...I changed the measurements but the basic design of the purse is not mine.  I will post this project on my blog on Tues, July 17th in the early am...that will be the last day of stamp camp.

I am going into Woodstock , Ga for the day tomo....for a wonderful MDS scrapbook class with Monika Davis and Cindy Schuster.....I have been ssssoooo blessed to have met them both...both are so talented in that field.....have a blessed day...
