I really meant to post this morning, but I was moving kind of slow. I had bad heartburn last night from the two drinks I had at dinner plus just eating too close to bedtime. That with the effect of the alcohol on my system (not drunk just not right) made for a bad night's sleep. Not doing that tonight, that's for sure! Instead, a bunch of us went to Tucan's Brazilian Barbecue and had lots of MEAT. Oh, my, that was gooood!
There wasn't anything earthshaking at today's sessions. We found out that the Keep Calm hostess set will be available once again. Yesterday we found out that MDS2 will be released on August 1st, though it will not have all the features they wanted to release it with, but those will be added as they are finished with free upgrades. There will be another recruiting promotion for convention attendees.
We did find out that they will be streaming live on the demo website tomorrow to make some kind of exciting announcement. That should be cool.
The past two days have been filled with organized swaps. Yesterday was the Controlfreaks lunch swap, which was awesome as usual. You'll be seeing those swaps on our Freak Tour, which is being delayed a week due to convention.
Today, though, was Lyssa's Now That's Convention Quality swap. I had seen some of these swaps last year and determined that I had to participate, so I signed up. Here is my swap:
Ingredients: Stamps - Stippled Blossoms, Petite Pairs; Paper - Comfort Cafe DSP, Summer Starfruit, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Pool Party; Ink - Midnight Muse, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit, Soft Suede; Other - Delicate Designs Embossing Folders, Delicate Doilies Sizzlit, 2-1/2" circle punch, Small Oval punch, Bitty Punch Pack, Victoria Crochet Trim, Midnight Muse Stitched Satin ribbon, Basics Pearls, Essentials Paper- Piercing Pack, Sponge Wedge, Dimensionals.
Summer Starfruit strikes again! It's GOJUS!!! (YILM!)
Well, I think I may just have to toddle on down to Smith's and get myself some Maalox or sumthin'. Yuck. Stay tuned tomorrow for whatever excitement may ensue! Ta!
I love it! It's beautiful!
Have fun!

Beautiful, beautiful card! I liked the Starfruit right away, glad you're showcasing it on your 'gojus' cards.

WOW! This is GORGEOUS!! I hope you get to feeling better. Nothing like that "stuffed" feeling to make you miserable. I have trouble with that, too.

Heartburn that's rough. Have you tried drinking booth or deep breathing before and after eating? I love the flower in the card. Really gives it a beautiful final touch.
