January 26, 2009:  Today is my x5th birthday!  Unbelievable.  I attended SU! Leadership Conference Jan. 7-9 followed by a Regional Seminar on Jan 10th.  While I came home with my head swimming with new ideas, I've been slow in sharing them with you all.  That's due do schedule overload which I'm sure you can identify with.  My little grand-daughter was just 2 a few weeks ago.  And my son and daughter-in-law are due with their first child towards the end of February.  This has meant parties, showers, etc.  So my stampin' time has been a little tight in January and will be again in February.  I do always respond quickly to emails however so don't hesitate to ask me for guidance or to answer a product question. I love you all!!!!  I do plan on meeting as scheduled with my regular local mountain stampers during the 3rd week of each month (unless there's a birth that requires my assistance).  Third Monday: Stamp Club; third Wednesday:  Monthly Class; third Thursday, stamping at the Mi Wuk Library.  Check my calendar for details on these events, and check my blog, http://www.stampinwithblythe.com , for more frequent stampin' updates:  cards, projects, etc.
