What's going on?

Let's see...

1. I've decided to become a consultant for Tastefully Simple, you can read more about that here.  I'm really excited about this!
2. Perrin turned 9 this week, so we had a big family bash on Sunday.  He got a new bike!  Now just needs to master the whole bike riding thing.
3. My buddy Kelli came up from NJ last weekend so we spent Friday night crafting with the gals and spent all day Saturday at Absolutely Everything in Topsfield learning from the great Tim Holtz.
4. We've continued to enjoy geocaching.  Eric has now hid three pretty devious puzzle caches.  We've got a 5/5 cache on our radar that we're looking into as well; already found Waypoint 1 and scoped out the coordinates for WP 2.
5. I harvested the first thing from our garden this spring: rhubarb.  There's an article in the works for harvesting and freezing rhubarb.  I also made my annual Rhubarb Cream Pie, which is 28 kinds of awesome.

I'm sure there's more, but these are the highlights of the week!

Just got off the phone.....

...to register for Tim Holtz's classes next month at Absolutely Everything. It took me an hour to get to through, but I did still get the two classes I wanted, so that's great. My friend Kelli is coming up for the same classes, so I'm sure we'll have a blast.

I've had the pleasure of taking some of Tim's classes in the past, so I know what I'm in for. Can't wait! I was remembering the very first class I took was way back in 2006 at CKU-M Boston (at the very last CKU Boston, *sadface*), with my friend MF. It was a class where we made a little folded book out of a sheet of paper, a lot of distress ink, and distressed hardware, and it was amazing. It was back before most of his tools were released as products, so we had homemade distress ink blenders and distress hammers that he had made with linoleum nails. I still kick myself that I didn't take his other class that weekend, it was a memory glass pendant.
