Well - I have decided to create a new blog that is associated with my website. Hopefully it will make it easier for me to stay on top of! So please follow me here....

I've been tagged! I just noticed that I have been tagged by a fellow blogger, Sharon (back on April 26th!!)! Guess I need to update my blog more often, huh!?! LOL! Check out Sharon's blog here.

Okay - so now I have to tell you 7 things about myself, and then tag 7 other bloggers.

So here goes:

1. I am the oldest of three children. I was mad when my brother came along when I was 6 because he "stole" my playroom! And my sister is 15 years younger than me!

2. I have been married to Randy for 4 years but we have been together for 9 years on the 27th of this month! Boy, how time flies!!

3. I have a six....sixt...sixteen year old daughter (boy that was hard!!!) named Katie. She just got her license a few months ago - so I am a nervous wreck! I also have a 14 year old stepson and a 20 year old stepdaughter

4. I was hit by a car when I was 10 and spent from Halloween (no - I wasn't trick or treating - it happened in the morning) until Thanksgiving in the hospital.

5. I have (2) English Mastiffs, (2) Grey Tiger kitty's, (2) horses & (1) Bunny! Yes - it is a regular Noah's Ark at my house! LOL

6. I am still very good friends with Kim and Kristine (sisters) - who I have known since I was six years old! We have known each other for 30 years! Wow!

7. I love playing the Playstation 3! =)

Instead of tagging these girls (phew... You can all breathe easier now!) - I am just going to list their blogs for your reading enjoyment! These are some of my favorites. Unfortunately, they make my little blog look pathetic! =)

1. Stamps, Paper, Scissors - One of my all time favorites! I just love JanTink! =)
2. Taylored Expressions
3. Dawn's Stamping Thoughts
4. My Time, My Creations, My Stampendence
5. Fresh & Fun
6. Jenn Balcer
7. Stamp A Little Love Baby

OMG! I can't believe the Retirement List this year! If you haven't seen it yet, feel free to check out the interactive one on my website (www.stampingwithchrissie.com) A special thanks to fellow demonstrator, Marni for helping to creat this! =)

Looking at the list - it looks like the new Fall/Winter Collection catalog will be chock full of new stamp sets!!! Yeah! I can't wait. Now the dilemna of how much do I buy now and how much money do I save to buy new sets???!!

Stampin' Up!'s Convention is coming up in July. I am very excited. This is my first year going to Convention and I have heard that it is awesome! I am hoping to meet some of my "sisters" from SplitCoastStamper's! I especially want to meet JanTink. For those of you who do not know Jan - you have to check out her blog here... She is an absolute riot as well as a VERY talented stamper.

Convention means SWAPS! Hundreds of them. Now that the Retired List is out, I can decide on some sets to use. That is the hardest part! Deciding what to make. Once I have that decided, it is just a matter of mass-producing them.

Speaking of swaps. I attended an East Coast Embossers meeting this past weekend which is held by my up-up-upline, Ruth! It was great as always. I hope to have the swaps that I received uploaded to my website by tomorrow night. I received a bunch of great idea's!

Well - that's all for now! Don't forget to check out my website for the Retirement List and this month's specials!
