It will be the same pages at each class. So pick the date that works best for you, or hang out with us on both days.
We are also having a potluck crop party in June. One of our Paradise customers, and I cannot remember who right this moment, suggested it, and it sounds like a great idea. I'll bring the wine... Just kidding.

I got so excited about the newest Doodlebug that I forgot to blog it!! *smacking forehead*
Okay, it's established fact that we all LOVE Doodlebug's Sugar Coated line. Now life gets even better with Crushed Velvet. I cannot WAIT to attack this gorgeous stuff w/ my Quickutz dies!! Now I'm gonna have velvet flourishes, velvet alphabets, velvet flowers- you name it, I'm gonna use this line! This line feels just as soft and lush as it looks. Aside from the papers and brads, it also comes in little jars so you can do your velvet flocking in all of these outrageously fabulous colors.
Ya know, I like it so much that if it were socially acceptable, I would drape myself in this paper!!
Don't miss checking it out the next time you stop by!!
See ya in the balmy breezes of Paradise!! Laura

Ok, the 2008 NSD Party photo album is up. Be prepared to step back in time.
I am working on the video footage and I will put that up as soon as I can.
Totally Paradise,

I just wanted to stop by and say "thank you" to all of our National Scrapbook Weekend participants. We had a blast with all of you. You really impressed us with your knowledge of 80's trivia(who knew that Cyndi Lauper used to do a character on Pee-Wee's Playhouse?), and some of you had some REALLY rockin' 80's duds on!
Hopefully you all enjoyed this weekend as much as we did. For those who weren't able to make it to this very special event, there's always next year!! Here's what you missed: Some awesome food(that Rhonda is a great cook!), some live entertainment(I can no longer pretend otherwise: I've now proved that I'm just as wacky as my hubby), and LOTS and LOTs of free giveaways!!
Speaking of giveaways, congratulations to Rynea Shaw and Kathy Freeman, who were our Grand Prize winners for the weekend. Kathy is now the proud owner of a fabulous MIMI Stamp tote. We had to laugh: Even though we had planned LOADS of giveaways, Rynea was convinced that she wouldn't win ANY of them... and she ended up with the grand-mama-jama PS3 Tote!!
You ladies are ALL our winners, and the next time it's "raining men" I hope you'll all be here with us again to "party like it's 1999!"
I love ALL my Paradise pals, and thank you for making our NSD celebration a success!!!
Laura

Paradise calls,
John
