Woo Hoo!! Founders' Circle, Here I Come....

Good Morning My Friends....

This post is set up to appear at 4:30 a.m.   Just a few minutes after hubby and I leave our house so he can bring me to the airport for an early flight.  

I am on my way to St. George, Utah where I will join an elite group of crafters - The Stampin' Up! Founders' Circle Achievers.  These are the top 20 Canadian and the top 100 US demonstrators for the 2013/14 year.  And we are going to be pampered and cosseted like you wouldn't believe!  Five 5 days of rest, relaxation, sunshine and WARMTH!  Woo hoo.  I am excited just writing about it!

I will be posting frequently onto my Facebook page.  Please feel free to check it out (click HERE).

But "before I go", I wanted to leave you with this little mystery.......A question about the photo I've included here.  So tell me....what is this?

I'll give you a hint.  It has *everything* to do with the Swap Card that I am bringing with me to Founders' Circle.  All 113 copies of it.....

Check back her tomorrow, or frequently on my facebook page, to see FC updates.  
Until then, have a wonderful day and God Bless,
Cynthia

Thankful Thursday - So Appreciative of My Sensitive Daughter Today!!

Hello My Friends

Did you notice I've been absent quite a lot this past while?!  Summer was an extremely busy time for our family - and this year we tried to pack an extra lot into it since it is the last "summer off" I'll have in quite a while.  You see, as some of you are aware, for the first time in 16 years I am going back to work!  And today was my first day at the new job (more about all of that later.....I need to make this short.....).

Post-it note on the window of the car

At any rate, it has been ages upon ages since I worked outside of the home - (for pay) - and I will admit to being more than just a little bit nervous and stressed about such a big change in my life and that of my family.


Did I say I was nervous?  That is where darling daughter #2 comes in.   :)

When I headed out to the car to drive to work, this is what I saw......  A post-it note on the driver's window  -------->  

Want to know what it said??

Here's what the note "said"

This got me smiling for sure!  I could feel some of the nervousness melting away.

Then I opened the door and saw what was stuck to the steering wheel.  Gotta love that girl! 

Note on the steering wheel

Couldn't sit down until I removed another note.

Note on the driver's seat

Then I had to move the following note just to get the keys into the ignition!

Covering the ignition

Needless to say, I was all smiles as I drove out of the driveway.

Thanks darling for lightening my load this morning.   I love you, I love you, I love you.  Thankful Thursday it is!

Soon enough I will write out all the details about my new job for you, my friends.  But until then, I hope you all enjoyed your day and are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

God Bless,      ~Cynthia    <><
