More cool news!

I learned last week that I was the WINNER of the Bloomin' Scrapbook's Flower Challenge! How cool is that?! The challenge was to submit a unique idea of how to use flowers in a project or page, so I probably overloaded them with my ideas. I sent them 3 ~ LOL! I will have to wait for my prize package to arrive in the mail, but I can hardly wait for it. I love their store, even though I only get to it once a year when we go camping in Brown County. The store is located in Bloomington, Indiana, not far from Indiana University.

Here is the article on their blog:
Bloomin Scrapbook's Flower Challenge

Now on to other news that's probably more exciting to me than to you guys, but bear with me if you will. I don't think I mentioned that I am going to soon be a proud new owner to the Cricut Expression! I can hardly stand the wait for it to be shipped to my local scrapbook store!! I currently have what is affectionately called the baby bug, otherwise known as the original smaller version of the Cricut. I do love the little guy, but quickly understood the want & desire for the larger, more expanded version. The bad thing about getting a Cricut (in any size) is that you will constantly want the extras that make it even more exciting. I guess that's why these companies make these things, right??? I'm really glad to see the price of the Expression coming down quite a bit from even a year ago. We got a great deal from my local scrapbook store, The Memory Zone, even though it was slightly more than the Walmart's Black Friday sale, I'll stick with trying to keep my LSS in business! Their deal also included a free class on how to use your new addition, so I felt that was worth the extra & they offer the best customer service around, even a year after the sale!!! I just wish I knew how much longer I'm going to have to wait.....

Good to see you winning again, Beth! Your flower ideas were super, those butterflies out of Prima flowers I'll bet will be popping up all over the place now! You are officially hitting the "big time!" Enjoy it & a BIG Congratulations to you!
I am so glad to see your comment about supporting your LSS, The Memory Zone. I am honestly to the point of being sick of Wally World, I am beginning to think they are trying to take over the world. The great deals at TMZ and their service is outstanding, I love that place!
Good to see you back in BLOG-ville again, you must be a busy girl!

Congratulations on the competition win Beth! You have had so much success recently - and it's well deserved. I am so envious of you getting the Expression - I would love one but we never seem to get great deals here on stuff like that. Have fun!

The store that I won the flower ideas from didn't mention that I got the butterfly idea from a dear friend, Glee. I guess I should have mentioned that in my own writings. Sorry, that was my bad.
