Hello September

Wow! Time sure flies when you're super busy and having fun! My days are filled with working for Richard Garay, school, soccer and all the mom/wife stuff! Oh yeah and traveling to all the Be Amazing Tour stops for RG! And as of recently visiting my mom in Maryland. I went a few days early to the east coast to surprise her and it worked! I loved catching up with her in person and being able to hug her again & again! I call my mom every other morning on my drive to work to talk about our days. Seeing the look on her face when she realized it WAS really me standing in front of her, that was the best! I only wish my girls and Carlos could of been with me. (And yes, I will be returning my regularly scheduled blog posts! I miss it!)

Two teens in high school and our youngest in jr. high, yes ours days are super busy! I get home and either we need to go to this store for this & that, laundry, homework and my body is ready to say hello? I need to see the bed like now. The list goes on but I do love my job! Traveling is super fun and meeting all the coaches! Getting to know my co-workers that much better too with each trip is too funny. They crack me up and know me so well, and apparently the convention center staff do too that quick! Yes my co-workers spread the news about my eating habits! haha! (I eat many times throughout the day bc my metabolism is super FAST!) This is the latest shot of the Journey Crew in Virginia Beach from the observation deck (4th floor) overlooking the town and you can see the ocean from there! 

Did I mention I am still a Fun Stampers Journey coach? Do you love playing with paper and lots of stamps? Planners and pocket pages too? I got you covered! You can visit my FSJ site and browse away! If you cannot find an item, leave a comment or DM me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook! I'd love to help if I can and if you're local, I would LOVE to plan a crafty date!

This collection above has to be my FAVORITE at the moment! Slice of Life. Super cute prints and yes on the flip side you can COLOR in yourself! Watercolors, pencils, anything you like! Visit shop to see all the stamps, color in washi & embellishments! AND I must mention the new watercolor pencils by FSJ! Love! And they color like buttah--! No joke!
