Home again, Thank the Lord!

We have made it home from the Northwest, and I am EX-hausted! We had so much fun, and accomplished our goal! We were in Seattle to pick up my 83 year-old grandmother and move her back here to KC! The move went very smoothly - Grandma was a trooper on the plane (she and Lily napped together!) and she is now getting settled in her new Assisted Living Facility here! She seems very happy! I hope that she will continue to adjust well! Leaving her there today felt like my son's first day of kindergarten or daycare! I know it's a great place, but I also know that Grandma will never really be able to tell me if something is wrong ... kind of scary!

Wait ... I know you're getting ready to run away ... isn't this supposed to be a stamping blog?? I did get to do a little bit of stamp shopping while I was in the Northwest! I went to Ikea in Portland and stocked up on a few storage options (pictures later!), then went to Craft Warehouse, where I was very disappointed that they no longer carry the long ruler with the piercing holes in it, but I did find a new yummy Basic Gray 6x6 pad! Then we went on to Seattle! I didn't have a ton of time, but I did run into Impress to pick up a couple packs of the clear boxes and then I went to The Mother Ship ... the A Muse store!! Again, it was an amazing experience! I just think that Linda is one of the best people around! She is so friendly, and so smart! She has some exciting things up her sleeve ... I can't wait to see them! I only had about an hour to spend in the shop - I could have stayed there all day!! Here are a couple of pics from A Muse! I will take pictures of my goodies and post them soon! Now, I am so flippin' tired! Must go to bed!
The Amazing Linda holding my baby - makes me think about Presidential campaigning when people want the candidates to kiss their babies - forget that - Linda held my baby!!
Me, Linda & Lily - Linda looks very tan next to us pale Kansas folks! I just love the color of the shop!
