I’ve been boycotting Sassafrass Lass for almost 2 years. Why? Well I had a really negative experience with one of their employees at a trade show and with customer service via e-mail that left me so irritated that I decided to just not use their product. There is so much good stuff out there in the paper world that I try to give my business to companies that are good to their customers.

I’ve been fine with my decision, but yesterday a box full of their new papers arrived (a part of the mosh-posh kit) and so as a part of my job I *have* to use them. I won’t lie- they’re beautiful. The scallop border edge bonus? FABULOUS! The patterns and colors make me all swoon-y like a good paper should.

yeah, I think I need to give them another chance. I’ll try contacting the company and see what happens this time…

ps- if you wanna see all my creations with the new ‘lass then go to www.mosh-posh.com and check out the march gallery.

ppss- that threaded ribbon? yeah, that’s the new threading water punch from fiskars. It. Rocks. my. world!

I was in Reno such a short time. I didn’t even have time for a big cowboy breakfast or a casino buffet! dang!! Ah well. I did have non-stop fun while there. The one meal I ate (yes, I said there was time for ONE real meal) was with Angela and Amy in the middle of our scrapbook store visits. We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Carson City. The food was yummy and just right for a 2pm lunch. Of course, you know the cameras were out to document every moment of the day so here’s some pics.

this plate of bean dip (?) was served with the chips. It looked a bit weird to me… but it was GOOD.

 

My lunch- Taquitos Rancheros. I don’t know what the ‘ranchero’ difference was… they looked and tasted like regular taquitos to me. mmm. and yes, I still had my fisk-a-teer apron on.

Angela and Amy with the little dessert yummy treat. It’s a fried tortilla with sugar, cinnamon, honey, and whipped cream. SO tasty.

finally, I’ll tell you that the girls told me about a place called the Chocolate Bar. By the time the fiskateer party was over I was so tired I wanted to just sit and never move. So we didn’t get there. But now I know I MUST get back to Reno asap. I need to experience a place that specializes in chocolate desserts! The trip was such good times and I met and spent time with so many great people… can’t wait for next time!

It’s March 1, and a big part of my secret life is now revealed!

Almost a month ago I started working with Fiskars on my new job. Yes, new job. I am now heading up the on-line education for Fiskars. It’s a part time position that I’m super excited about and I am so happy that they came to me with it. I already *LOVE* all of the Fiskars design team. They are truly fabulous and talented and I’m really excited about working more with them and Fiskars too. We have a LOT in store, and I’ve got even more ideas in my journal… so www.fiskarscrafts.com is really (more than ever!) a must-visit site!!!

Oh- and I’ll be linking up to all the team members blogs here, as well as some other people I’m lucky to work with.

Happy March 1!
