TROPIC THUNDER IS SO FUNNY!

We went to see the movie Tropic Thunder at Village Point last night and it is soooo... funny! I would like to see it again as I had not really heard about the movie and it took me awhile to catch on to who everyone was. There were a lot of popular actors in it.

Look What We Did!

Hi, Veronica here... Last week, I had my first Cricut class at Precious Treasures. I was so excited, and I had very excited and creative students, sisters Sandy and Sally were thrilled with the class. They already knew the basics. We used the Disney cartridges and worked on doing layers. We also learned what more the cartridges can do besides just the basic shapes. You would be amazed at what all the "shift" button can do. Below are some pictures of what they created. They came out so cute... the pictures don't do them justice!

My next Cricut class is Sept. 9, but this Saturday I have several classes including an Intermediate scrapbooking, where I will teach about brads, eyelets, inks, chalks, sprays, paint, chipboard and magic mesh and other stuff. Please see the calendar at www.ptdiva.com for more details. I'd love to teach you, too. ~ Veronica

MY FIND IN FREMONT

I did not make it to my favorie "junk" store in Fremont Saturday as I ran out of time and had to get back for the evening crop. But when I parked downtown to stop at the bead store I seen this in the window of one of the antique stores and HAD to get it. I had that same red headed bubble hair barbie when I was a child. When we moved to the east coast my parent let my dads mom store some stuff for us and she got rid of it. I loved that barbie and also had the old blonde one also. The red headed one my mom had given me and the blonde my aunt had given me. I wish I could find them again in a price I could afford as I would have loved to pass them down to my daughters,

The case will be treasured as it will always remind me of my old barbie doll. Back then we just had one or two barbies and TONS of beautiful clothes. Now you cannot even buy outfits unless you buy a whole new barbie.

A GREAT FIND AT GORDMANS

Have you ever had a candle get too hot and crack the glass? I had one almost start a huge fire once and as much as I LOVE candles they make me nervous.

Liz and I ran to Gordmans yesterday and I found this candle holder and just love it as it is all contained, the top is a screen so the wonderful aroma of te candle can come out. I will be burning a lot more candles again. I am going to run back to Gordmans today and get one of these for the store also.

My favorite candles are the Barn Candle Brand ones as they smell soooo... good! They are made right here in Nebraska and sold at Precious Treasures!

SOME PHOTOS FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE DAYS

I work 100 plus hours each week so a day like the day I spent at Vicki's was a dream day for me. It was so nice to have the day to relax. Although I had to leave early to get back to the store for the evening crop. It was a wonderful day!


Cats books will be for sale in our store here soon. She writes scrapbooking, altered art and sewing on paper books. She is such a sweetheart. She flew in from Maine. She has a son the same age as Zacheus. http://www.cmscanlon.blogspot.com/

From left to right, Jan (VERY talented and Vicki's sister, Nelly (Jans daughter from the music group Tilly and the Wall) and Becky Novacek who is a very talented photographer who was showing us some wedding photos she had published in a recent wedding magazine.

This idea I may have to copy. It is a beautiful way to display cats eye ink pads. I will put Vickis name on a cute tag so she gets credit for her wonderful idea.

This is one of the walls in Vicki's craft heaven. Look ow adorable everything is.

Vicki and I are a lot alike in we love ribbons and trims. She has them displayed all over and has a beautiful collection!

Every little detail Vicki has thought of. Look at all the goodies in the glass. It is just breathtaking. I could have stayed in that room forever just taking it all in. It made me want to come home and redo my room as mine is functional not cute at all. I just never get tme to do anything with it.

Isn't it just amazing?

I had to make a pit stop in downtown Fremont with my mom and sister before going out to Vickis. We went to the bead store and I brought back a bunch of the silk ribbon necklaces and some of the necklace charms I will have for sale at the store. No coupons as I do not have mark up to work with on them. I just got them as everyone has commented on the ones I wear and tell me "Fremont is too far to go get one". So I brought them to you. :)

We cropped at the store until 2am, got to sleep by about 3:30 and back up at 7 as I had a very early appointment to get a hair cut. I had to take a picture as Liz kept bugging me to see what it looked like.

I think Vicki has more pens hthan we even carry at the store. WOW! I love just looking at them as the colors all together are art in themselves.

Vicki had made these candy sundaes for everyone. She gave me an extra one for Ruth and Ruth was thrilled!!! She will treasure it.. She also gave Ruth a box of ephemera and Ruth sat and looked at each little piece for a loooong time. She just loves Vicki (so do I) Vicki is such a beautiful person with the biggest heart.

Zach gobbled up his candy and filled up the glass with milk!

The food was amazing. It was so beautiful I did not even want to touch it. (but I did) and blew my diet for the day and everything was delicious!
