More Sale A Bration!
For the first time Stampin Up has decided to give us even more products to chose from during Sale A Bration.
Beginning March 1st you can choose from these new products free with a $50 purchase as well as the items previously shown in the Sale A Bration catalog. More free choices? AWESOME!!!
March and Spring are nearly here!
Well, my goodness! February sure has raced by quickly! Only one more class remaining!
This Thursday we will be meeting for our February Paper Pumpkin Club meeting at Linda Wainscoat's house at 6 pm. I'm hoping to see all of my wonderful club members there.
That means it's time to announce the class dates for March.
The Stampin Up Workshop will be held on March 5th at my house. This workshop is $10 and this month you will get a chance to play with the beautiful Lotus Blossom stamp set that is available for free during SaleABration with any $50 order. I can't believe how easy it is to get a beautiful shaded effect with this set.
Next, on March 19th I will hold my monthly $20 Card Class. It will be time to get those Easter/Springtime cards and treats ready for our giving.
And finally, on March 26th we will again be holding our monthly meeting of the Paper Pumpkin Club. I can't wait to see what we get next! I don't know about all of you, but I'm really enjoying receiving a little surprise in my mail box each month.
Hope to see some of you for these March classes. Be sure and contact me to sign up so that I will have a kit all prepped and ready for you.
Spring is on its way! Tonna

Digging for Treasure
Dig through your couch cushions, your purse, or the floor of your car and look at the year printed on the first coin you find. What were you doing that year?
Okay....If you know me, you know that it would be extremely rare to find a single coin in my couch cushions. I NEED THOSE COINS! So I checked just in case and, as I suspected, No coins.
Since I usually eat and snack on my couch....(Don't judge me), all I found was a multitude of crumbs.
Great! Now how I have to clean up this mess!

Beem Me Back Scottie
Today I am to tell you about a sensation -- a taste, a smell, a piece of music -- that transports me back to childhood.
Every once in a while when I'm near an older woman (Actually, I guess I fall into that category now), I catch a whiff of a certain scent that takes me back to my great grandmother's dressing table. She sat at this table when getting ready and powdered her face with loose powder and a big powder puff.
What I really think of when asked this question though, is an experience I had when Michael and I bought our home in Bakersfield. The former owner had wallpapered EVERYTHING. When we began removing wallpaper in the kitchen, we discovered that there were three or four layers. A couple of layers down I discovered a layer of green paper that gave me the best feeling. I couldn't explain it but if I had been able to do it cleanly, I would have left the paper up. Even though it was super outdated and not really attractive. It just gave me the best feeling. Some time later while looking through old pictures, I discovered why. The exact Early American wallpaper was hanging in the dining room of the first home I lived in with my family growing up. I call this place my Happy Home because I have such good memories of being happy there as a child.
So there you have it. Sensations that take me back to childhood.

On Your Walls
What do you display on the walls of your home -- photos, posters, artwork, nothing?
If you've visited my home you know that there is a bit of everything on my walls. A look at my walls will give you a view of a lot of things, just not wall. I have stuff. Enough to drive some people bonkers, but I love my stuff and I love to have it around me.
So there!!
By the way. Some people find it homey and welcoming.

Food Faves
The writing challenge gods today tell me that I am stranded on a desert island and asks me what five food item I want to have there with me.
The first two are easy.....pizza,
The next two would have to be my current obsessions.I get totally hooked on things sometimes. For a long time it was Hot Tamales. The next was Peanut Butter filled Pretzels, also for a long time. Once I get hooked on something it lasts for a long time, and then suddenly it becomes something new. I have two right now, Peanut M&M's and Fritos Scoops, so I guess I'll have to have both of those as well. After all, I'll be needing chocolate and something salty.
Alright, I'm only allowed one more. I guess I will take iced tea as my final choice because I'll definitely be needed something besides water to drink. I'm horrible about drinking water. I know that's awful, but it's the truth. I'm not big on vegetables either while I'm fessing up.
So there are my current choices. What are yours?
