Where did June go?

I'm back! June was a little crazy for me, so I apologize for not posting anything new for the entire month! Longer work days, fiscal-year end, and keeping up with my guys' summer travels made for a busy month and one tired lady. But I'm excited to be back and making more great things for my Etsy shop. I do have some updates for you!
First, at the end of May Allen and I got to go home and spend almost a week with my family. Not only did we love seeing them, but we got to do a few crafty things. We went to a workshop where I made a necklace and Allen made a key chain. Also, spent a couple of days sewing with my mom on some various items. All of these are things I wouldn't mind listing in my shop at some point.
Second, next weekend I'm excited to attend the annual St. Bridget's crop in Scammon. It's a great fundraiser for the St. Bridget's Altar Society, plus I get fellowship with wonderful ladies. Planning on making new cards for the Etsy shop.
Finally, right before the June craziness, I signed up to become a Stampin' Up demonstrator. What does this mean for my Avalon Cards and Crafts? First, I can buy my supplies at a discount. Second, my cards will have a small stamp on the back that affiliates me with Stampin' Up. Finally, it enables me to provide workshops and place orders for anyone that may be interested. I’m excited to see if there is any interest for a workshop in Baxter Springs. Loving the idea of a Holiday Card Workshop!
