Gabby of the Week - Sharon

Sharon's nickname needs to be Mrs. Creative. She is a Stampin Up distributor and always has great classes and ideas. We also need to get her to attend more crops so we have more pictures. This is the one and only one we could find, but it sure is a good one!

Gabby of the Week - Julie B

Chips, yum, chips, yum, yum, yum. Julie brought the first bag of Julio's chips. They are made in Del Rio where Shannon and Julie's husbands were stationed in the Air Force. What can we say? Our hips are forever sad, but our taste buds are forever grateful. Julie has four young children {2 are twins} and has their scrapbooks caught up. How amazing is that? She used to complete 10 pages to only one of mine before I turned to the digital world. She is super speedy.

Gabby of the Week - Sue

Sue is the most well organized "collector" of our bunch. She has pulled out the perfect item to complete some of my pages on more than one occasion and completely filled my "high maintenance" need. Sue and Connie also went to high school together. Isn't it a small world? They reconnected at a crop all these years later.

Gabby of the Week - Dede & Dottie

Dede and Dottie are sister-in-laws, and I think it is just great that they get along well enough to get away and spend the weekend together.

Dottie is one of the new Mommies in the Gabby group, and she always does amazing projects. Just check out the cross below. If memory serves me right, she sold it before the weekend was over, right Susan :-)?


Dede, well she is the life of the party as you can tell. I still don't know how on earth she came up with the Bear Breasted Biker Chick costume...sooooo funny. There was one retreat I was able to make where she couldn't, and it just was not the same. I think I said more than once that it was just too quite. Dede is also one of the first ones to start blogging. I can't wait to get her started on her first blog book.

Gabby of the Week - Anna

Anna has a huge servant's heart and loves her kids and grandchildren. It has been so much fun getting to know her.

It is OPEN

Update: Both Susan and Dede were in line waiting for it to open!

Yep, Anthologies opened up in Hurst {corner of Harwood and Norwood}. Lauren and I went to check it out this evening, and these two below went yesterday. Does it really surprise you that our ringleader and shopping queen would arrive on opening day? I heard that Dede was actually in line waiting for the doors to open. You go girl!

The store was great, and it was so much fun to see so many faces that I remembered from Recollections. So many of the same great people in a new happy place is just well, GREAT!



Hmmmm. I wonder when my posting privileges will be revoked so I can't hijack Susan's blog? :-)
