I'm a travel bug. Love it. Always have. Always will.
Ask me to go on an adventure and I'm the first one in line for the plane, train, bus, or automobile (preferrably a non-stop flight to a five-star hotel, but I don't ask much.)
Well as luck would have it, my life's gotten in the way of taking a real-people vaca this winter season, so the journey of this month's Tahiti collection has truly a been a

Ever been to a Club Scrap® Retreat or event?
We have a standing "rule" at these functions . . . an unbreakable rule when presented with gifts or new collections . . . "On three . . . we all open together!"
One could argue that this rule was implemented purely because of my desire to control the reaction of the group — and I must honestly admit that the feeling of power offered up during these

Gotta admit . . . when Terri Zwicker (a.k.a. Zwick) sets out on a mission, she's a relentless achiever.
The Short Sleeve Pants collection she whipped up back in 2010 for Retreat was something she'd long had an inspiration for — and it pretty much flew off the shelves with people begging for more. So we're giving it to you — gotta love us for that, right?
Short sleeves, long sleeves, pants, 'er no

Yes, it's true, I'm gonna spoil you with a spoiler . . . our 150th monthly collection ships tomorrow and I just can't help but share the love a little (part of my ongoing therapy, ya know) . . . this is the beginning of the "breach" part of the program, btw, so close your eyes now if you don't wanna see . . .
Stay with me now . . .
As a mother of three, I had the distinct pleasure of popping out

Nobody has ever accused me of being early (or even on time, for that matter). I had these pics in my stash for a few weeks now . . . right about the time it was seasonally appropriate — as in lots of colorful fall leaves?
Well, I've procrastinated long enough to have parked myself in front of our first blizzard of the year . . . snowy, blustering winds, single digit temps . . . anyone in a warmer

Here's the thing . . . if you know me ( and possibly even love me), you're well aware of my innate desire to keep the knowledge of Club Scrap's releases within the confines of the Clubhouse walls until they arrive at your doorstep. Could this all be part of my well publicized addiction to control? Perhaps, but let's leave that topic for a later discussion. (I'm working on it. Really I am. You'll

but I just can't help myself!
Here I am. All alone at the printer's, in my own little corner, in my own little chair at the far end of a pretty substantial conference table (you're not feelin sorry for me, are ya?). I'm working my little heart out, doing whatever I do to help make papercrafters everywhere happy. My mission? Press checks. That's designer/printer lingo for camping out at the

Can you believe that I'm actually busting out a blog here? It's been ages since I've popped in to say hey . . . but here I am in the early morning hours with all my work done ( :) ) and I just got the urge to chat it up!
Actually, I'd really like to thank all of you who participated in the card call for my dad as he recovered from his bypass surgery — he was just blown away by all of the love

Wow . . . it's been a long time since we've chatted. I've been holed up in what I now lovingly call my "little shack on the lake", knee deep in paint and spackle! Fortunately, the rejuvenation project is in the home stretch, so I can come out to play every now and then. What I am most grateful for with this move is the incredible view . . . Ah-mazing!!!! (If I can figure out how, I'll load a

This is one of my favorite kits... the beautiful Purple, Yellow, and Brown tones of Be Still are PERFECT for Spring greetings.
We all had so much fun playing with those clever little 3 Hour Tour Unmounted quotes - what a blast!
Oh! I had completely forgotten about the adorable little brads in the Be Still Embellishment Cup - you know, the ones with the little loop that you can wrap fibers,
