On November 19th, my friend, Kristina Dodson, lost her battle with ALS. She’s pictured here with her daughter, Amber – two beautiful women.
Kristina was also a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and we met at the 2012 annual Stampin’ Up! convention. She lived in Kansas and I am in California so when we met up each year, we had so much to talk about. We would email throughout the year and looked forward to seeing each other at Convention. During that first convention, we would meet in the evenings in the lobby of our hotel and talk for hours.
At our next Convention, in July 2013, we roomed together and had a great time. Kristina had just been diagnosed with ALS a few months earlier.
In July 2014, Kristina’s daughter, Amber, came to Convention with her. The two of them shared a very special bond and I am so happy that I was able to spend time with both of them. We found so much to laugh about and it was a trip that I will never forget.
That same year Kristina and I both were celebrating milestones with Stampin’ Up!. It was my 5th year and her 10th. It was special that we were able to go onstage together.
Kristina was a very special person and I feel so blessed that she came into my life. I will forever be grateful for our friendship. I will miss her dearly.
Kristina and I

Hi Friends,
It’s been a long four weeks. In my last blog post I explained that I haven’t been posting because I’ve been helping my mom recover from knee replacement surgery. The surgery went very well and her leg is doing great. A week after the surgery she had some heart complications and was hospitalized. Unfortunately less than a week after she was released, she was hospitalized again. She’s been back home since Friday and I think she’s finally on the road to recovery! She’s gaining her strength back and life is slowly returning to normal. I’m doing the happy dance!
I wanted to pop in today to let you know about the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Retirement List, something that has never been done before! Below you can click on the link to see what is retiring from the Holiday Catalog. Retiring stamp sets on the list, will continue to be produced until December 28th. Everything else will be WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. This starts today! If you’ve had your eye on any of the goodies in the Holiday Catalog, now is the time to purchase them.

Hi Friends,
I am just checking in. Its been quite a few weeks since my last post and I wanted to explain my absence. My mom had knee replacement surgery on October 21st. The surgery went very well and her knee is healing just as it should be. She starts outpatient physical therapy tomorrow so she’ll continue to get stronger every day.
Along the way though she has had some other medical issues come up that have slowed everything down. After coming home from one hospital, she was admitted to another one four days later where she stayed for five days. I’ve been with her since the surgery and I’m her unofficial nurse. If you know me, you know that blood makes me queasy (that is putting it mildly) so thankfully there’s none of that! I’m dispensing pills, cooking meals, helping with physical therapy, and doing whatever I can to help my mom.
I brought many of my crafting goodies to my mom’s house but haven’t had a chance to sit down and create. I have many ideas swirling around in my head but actual sitting down and crafting just hasn’t happened yet.
If you would like to place an order at my Stampin’ Up! online store, the November host code is: A2J6ZHYU. If you place an order, you will receive the monthly ordering special projects but they will be a bit delayed. I have not yet posted them but you will receive them. I hope to have them posted this coming week but we’ll see . . . .
I hope you have a wonderful week.
