I hope you all enjoyed the holidays!  The holidays were great at our house!  We were thoroughly spoiled by everyone.  Bryan’s brother and sister and my brothers were all in town.  I used to take family for granted.  I am trying not to do that.  It’s hard having them away, but it’s good for them.

We had Nate’s wedding three days after Christmas.  It was beautiful.  Two days later we drove to Phoenix for an open house.  It was a long drive.  I threw up the whole time, and the boys were sick when we got home.

After visiting Bryan’s grandma on Christmas, I knew that her time here wasn’t long.  She said that she wanted her quality of life to improve whether it was here or in heaven.  After we returned from Phoenix, she had surgery to remove a tumor.  While she was recovering from the surgery she was diagnosed with pneumonia and was unable to overcome it.  Her funeral was yesterday.  I am sad that she will not be here anymore and Neal was having an extremely hard time.  He was worried where she was going to be.  He couldn’t understand how she could be in heaven with grandpa and her body was still here.  It’s sweet that he misses her so much.

Well, I guess it’s time to get back into our normal routine.  I am working on KiSses kits and teach the first three classes on Saturday.  Then it’s right into Possibilities the following Wednesday!  If you didn’t get a chance to sign up for KiSses, the website is selling KiSs (in AMM products) ~ they turned our really cute!

Well I did it, I hit the big time – a whole string of posts on twopeasinabucket all about me!  The problem is that it was because I taught class sick and had Riley with me (long story), not some great marvelous thing I did.  Oh, well, I try to learn from my mistakes or they really are just mistakes.  I guess I should have cancelled class on Thursday, it would have been easier for me.  Again, to those who were there, I apologize if you feel I made the wrong decision.  I was not contagious (I had taken 6 pills) & Riley was/still is not sick.  I will cancel class next time.

On a brighter note, I have four sets of BELIEVE letters I did for gifts that are extras, they are all done!  I have posted them on ebay.  You can, of course, pick them up instead of paying for shipping.  If you didn’t get any or have friends who want yours, go to:  (I took out the link, because the auctions are over)

Thanks for everything!  Amber

They’re here!  For $19.99 you can add to your wood letter collection!  Or, if you haven’t been able to get in on the classes, you can get started with these.  Tell your friends who have seen yours & "have" to have them too!  I am getting requests almost daily for more believe letters & it’s just not a possibility, but hopefully these will work too!

I like how they turned out.  I hope you do too!  Simply go to www.allmymemories.com / kits/ project kits & get yours ordered today!

Well kids, the website is updated with everything but the "eggs" wood letters.  I am still working on those!  They will be done by Friday.  Also, I am almost done with the "joy" for the warehouse.

Sign-ups for January, February & March’s classes begin on Friday, Nobember 25th!  (the day after Thanksgiving).  You can, as always, look here to see my classes ~ but, make sure you go into the store to see all the other great classes we have to offer! 

Call 572-9199 to register by phone or go into the store!  

Also, we are doing a "Santa’s Workshop" during the first two weeks of December.  I will be teaching this paint can on Thursday, December 8th from 6:00 to 7:00.  This class and all Santa’s Workshop classes are $10.

Thanks!  Amber

I swear! I am never using Chatterbox in my classes again!  Disregard the KiSses photo!  Chatterbox has discontinued all those papers & I get to redesign them again!  Look for the new letters by the end of the week (I hope)

Amber

As some of you may have noticed while visiting the store, I have changed the papers on the Believe letters.  I had originally designed them with papers from the Chatterbox Reading Room collection.  Since I designed the letters in June, I was unaware that they would be discontinuing the line.  We were able to get most of what we needed to fulfill the first three classes.  Since we have added three classes I had to change them.  I LOVE THE NEW LETTERS!  I think they are so cute!  I will make kits of the Chatterbox papers & let you choose!  I just wanted to let you know what was up before Saturday!

While I was teaching Possibilities last week, Bryan & the boys went to Snow College to watch my "little" bro. play basketball.  Riley really loved the red vines!  He got them all over grandpa!  I thought you’d like to see!

TTFN!   Amber

Good news!  The classes for January, February & March will be unveiled November 25.  Sign-ups will begin that morning!  I will be posting photos for you on or before the 18th so you will have plenty of notice to coordinate your schedule with your friends!

An FYI, I am teaching:   "Oh, the Possibilities!" is $20 & will be held January 18, February 16 & March 17. "KiSses" is $30 and will be held January 14 & 21 (three sessions each day).  "eggs" is also $30 and will be held March 18 & 25 (three sessions each day).

We had a great halloween, Neal went trick-or-treating with his best friend, Cole, and his dad!  It’s weird to think that he’s old enough to want to go with friends!  We went to Engh Gardens and played in the hay maze and took tons of pictures.  Next year, you will all have to take your families!  The maze is free and fun for our little ones.  We also saw the witches at Gardner Village (a bigger hit with Riley than Neal).  We enjoyed this holiday, now it’s on to the next one!

I hope you are all enjoying this time of the year, too!   Amber

I am so grateful for your support!  We had a great time in the last couple of classes.  I feel I am really getting the hang of things with these calendar classes!  I hope you are all enjoying your projects!

The quotes are on 8 1/2 x 12 cardstock.  Be sure to adjust the paper size on your printer & cut  down three 12 x 12 pieces of cardstock to get the appropriate size!  I have made this into a pdf, so you will be able to save it to your computer and/or open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Lately I have been enjoying actually spending time with my boys, designing next quarter’s classes (You’ll love them!) and cleaning the house!  I am lucky to have the life I have and I am grateful to you for the part you play in it!

TTFN!  Amber

ENJOY!    Amber

… but it sure helps!"  That’s something my grandpa used to say to us.  My cousin and I used it as our motto in college.  We had a lot of fun! 

Lately, everyone has been telling me I am crazy.  It reminded me of that saying of my grandpa’s.  But, again, I have been having a lot of fun!  Yesterday I taught 3 classes in a row!  My legs ached when I got home, but I was on the biggest high!  It was great!  Everyone finished their projects and was ready for more.  That’s the way I want my classes to be!

I teach again tomorrow (Monday – employees BOO!) and on Wednesday (the Possibilities).  Then I get a break until Saturday, the 15th when I teach the Calendar again!

I have a surprise for you!  We will be doing more wood letters during the first quarter!  I was fully planning on something else (I’ll save it for later), but I have been asked to do a Valentine’s day theme set of wood letters.  You will love them!  I’m not sure when sign-ups will begin, but I will let you know!  (I would assume the beginning of December)

Thanks for your support!  Have a great day!  Amber
