Viva Las Vegas

Ok so this post is a bit premature but I have a Las Vegas Retreat in the works. When I started doing weekend retreats I thought it would be sooo cool to do one in Vegas, then as time went on I put that idea on hold. Well recently the idea has gained some new momentum, thanks to my Vegas girls, you know who you all are ;-). So although the plans are not finalized be on the lookout for some exciting news in the coming months. In honor of our Vegas Scrapbooking Road Trip I thought I would play some Elvis. I don't know what it is about this song that is sooo fun. Enjoy!

Coming to San Diego? Do the Shop Hop too!

Could I be any more connected!

So it has taken me a long time to get connected, first the website, then the blog, then facebook and now twitter. I seriously don't think I am interesting enough to have that much to say and if I said it on one form of technology wouldn't that be enough? Apparently not, so bear with me while I learn the in's and out's of all this lovely technology. Eventually I will be able to link them all and when I post on one it will show up on all! Have a great night I am off to twitter ;-)
