December Exchanges, 2010 Card Exchange Themes, Retreats

Well, it's a new year, and lots of things going on.  First I want to post the December exchange cards.  They were to the theme of "Kids Birthdays."  They were great and I hope more of you will join us each month.
The themes for the first 6 months of 2010 are:  jan-use rub-ons, feb-chipboard, mar-ribbon, apr-sketch, may-cracked glass, jun-images from nature. 
If any of you have followed a little about the retreat my sister, and nieces and I had in October, we're at it again.  The next one will be April 8-10.  We have a blast and get some great crafting time as well as relaxing time in.  Check out the details at the retreat blog:  http://www.janstamps.wordpress.com/  
I am happy to report that my oldest son has landed a job.  He is working at the Wayside Cafe and we are so happy for him and his is happy too.  He was getting totally discouraged and bored not having a job.  He is hoping it will work into full time and in the mean time he is still looking for another part time job. 
I am slowly finding the tables in my craft room---HA HA.  I have 3 of them set up and they were all 3 totalled buried, but I have found them and now all the stuff on them is in "neater stacks" than it was before.  I have high hopes of actually clearing at least one of them off this month!!  In fact it has to be tonight, since I need it for my stamp club group tomorrow night!! ACH!  I better get it done.  Have a great day, and check out the specials Stampin' Up! is offering right now.  Sale-A-Bration is going to start tomorrow and it is the BEST time to hostess a workshop and get FREE stamps and accessories.  Have a great day.
