Revved up! Back from a long vacation

Hello everybody out there in piglet land!  I have been away so long I hope I can remember how to do this blog thing.  My Piglet#1 has been on my back to get back into the swing of things here and now, I will attempt to make things right.

I (with Piglet#1 in tow) attended the Convention  this year and it was a blast.  We first had to get acclimated to the muscles and bones that we didn't use in a long time but after that, it wasn't so bad; just a lot of walking and standing and sitting.

Saturday, August 6th, I am attempting to host a Scrapbook crop2gether and am not quite in 'the positive thinking it will work out' mode but I have to give it a try, right?  Wish me well.  If it doesn't work out, I still have my one and only pinkpigy piglets stamp club.  I love them all dearly.  In fact, we were together this past Saturday.  It seems forever to get together, but when we do..... yippeee yi o!  We went back to the basics of stamping - embossing.  It sure felt good to review this technique.  Next month's technique will be stamping101. 
Anyway, getting back to convention swaps -  look at these I made for swapping.  Who would believe me if I said I was in 19 swaps this year.  Yep!  I did a spreadsheet for us and it definitely kept us in tune with where we were suppose to be. Thank goodness for that! 
Here a few of my swaps I was in. I will try to post more as I go along.

this is my 3x3 love note swap with Virginia Killmorethis was my Early Bird swap with Jozette C.

this was my black and white swap that I hosted. I will post more of the black and white (Audrey would be so proud of me). Black and white is so stately and elegant. Love it.  I am honored to be asked to host it again next year.

this is the WOW! technique swap I did with Joan B. Cristo. The technique is reverse stamping. The little Scottie stamp only faced to the left and I stamped it on a piece of acetate and made the other Scottie so it faced the original. How cute is that?






So, I will close for now.  I am thinking I might go to the Henderson NV Regional in August.  I better register if I can.

I also managed to be invited to join in a HMC swap after convention, so maybe either we all got invited or my swap was just that good. 

Got to go eat on an ear of corn or just slop around in the mud.  thanks for stopping by, pinkpigy
