just a quick hi before i hit the sack in my big comfy king size hotel bed (as much as i miss mr miguel i do enjoy a nice big bed for myself!)...i have to tell you - the ruban rouge is AMAZING! it is the mother of all scrapbook stores...you could get lost in there and survive for months on every cool new scrapbook supply there is ;)
lisa the store owner (pictured above in this seasons latest fashion - the crocodile sheild), is simply wonderful and has done all sorts of things to ensure i feel at home including true blue australian decorations around the crop room, treats she shipped for me from australia, and dinner for everyone at the crop catered from...you guess it, the outback!
lots of fun was had tonight - will post some more later! hope you are having a fabulous weekend :)
Seeing those Aussie treats makes me miss it (I used to live there too). Tim Tams...yum! Glad you're having fun!

WE had so much fun at RR this weekend. Emily, you are the greatest and made the classes so stress free. I've already completed my January & Feb. pages of my twelve book! Hope you got a good night's sleep and have a safe trip home to your Miguel and Ivy.

I live only a few minute from Rouban Rouge; my favorite store.
And yes, lisa is a fabulous person (so is the store)!
Hope you enjoyed your stay in Florida.
I enjoy your blog.
