Great Escape!

Guess what?!  I'm going to write about scrapbooking!  Ok, lets not get carried away....it's actually scrapbooking shopping!  HA!  : )

Everyone is blogging these days, even scrapbook stores.  So, every once in a while I check out the blog of a store that is 40 minutes away in North Attleboro.  This week they received in a travel line by Making Memories called Great Escape.  The stuff is so VERY cute and I had to have it!!  Good thing the display was at the front of the store so I didn't have far to look before loading up!

I LOVE it all and can't wait to use it.  I have a pile of Aruba photos from April that would be perfect with these goodies!

Ok, something else happened at the store.  As I was going in someone I knew was coming out.  She used to teach amazing creative scrapbooking classes at a store close to me before it closed.  She is SUPER talented and always had the best projects and kept me (and lots of others) inspired to be creative.  I MISS those classes and her enthusiasm.  She sometimes teaches at the store I visited so her projects are highlighted on their blog and her work is still amazing.  

I think this was only the 2nd time I have seen her since 2006.  The other time was just a 'hello' but today was NICE!  It was like slow motion I just wanted to hug her, then paused, then hugged her anyway!  She told me what her sons were up to and she asked about my family.  She looks SO happy and I know she is doing well with her creative designs.

I emailed this afternoon to tell her how nice it was to see her and she has already replied!!  She is a better person than me and I am glad!

I ruined a good friendship there three years ago.  I am oversensitive, stubborn and not very forgiving.  Plus I have a hard time admitting when I am wrong.

It was such a good feeling though after seeing her.  Peace, no more bad feelings, just happiness.
