Sizzlin Summer Paper Chase Northern California





I wasn't going to join the Paper Chase today. Joe got a lot of little chores done around the house and our lunch and errands did not take nearly as long as I'd thought they would. I checked and saw Angela, lead Fiskateer, had not travelled too far down 99. I decided that I could easily catch up with her. Not exactly "easily" with two accidents on the road south to deal with. Nonetheless, after finding out I had not missed her by much in Galt -"A Tale in Time" with friendly owner Dale pictured here - I caught up with her and her kids in Lodi. Fun store there, "Memories for the Making" with lots of cool stuff. Some neat glitter embellies Angela and I had not seen before.
Next went to "Katie's World" in Stockton. Katie pictured with Angela and holding a delicious minibook. She is having a class in October and I must attend to learn to make this gorgeous and very fun book! Note Angela's son helping her document her progress in the other photo.
Finished up at Kathie's store "Scrapbook Dreams" which I consider one of my LSS ( Green Tangerines in Rocklin is my other). Loved her make and take page!
Drove home on US 5 wondering about all the cars zipping past at 90+MPH. I saw a lot of speed checks on the road, too. Did not seem to slow them down. What were those folk thinking, weaving in and out of traffic at those speeds?!!! Likely, no thought at all.

Fisk-A-Toes!





Had a great time at the NSD crop at My Green Tangerines in Rocklin, CA this past weekend as shown in this souvenir LO from the event. I believe it was designed by Laura Clark.
Wore green on Friday and orange on Sunday in honor of Fiskateers and had my manicure done to match!
Voila! Fiska Toes! I won some fun little prizes and they had some very nice goodie bags. The make and takes included a primary color/teal album with oodles of pages! Fun to do but it seriously ate into my time to do anything else. I did, of course, bring everything but the kitchen sink! Lost one of my Fiskars squeeze punches but maybe it'll show up. Too bad, it is the one I really NEED, right now. There were fun clear tags altered with alcohol inks and a great luggage tag making contest that was very fun! Great ctreativity and some really beautiful ones! Well, back to work and reality. I have some serious cleaning up to do so may not get any projects done for a few days. Thanks for dropping by!
