Greetings from Utah!

I am here in Utah at a QuicKutz retailer event. I didn't think I would be able to blog here because I didn't have a laptop. However, I have been wanting one and ending up ordering one. I wasn't expecting it to arrive before my trip, but it came 20 minutes before I left for the airport. I stuffed it in my carry on and off I went. I took me awhile to figure out how to get my wireless internet connection up and running. So here I am. Right now I am trying to load up my photoshop elements programs so I can post some pictures.

Having a great time. Lots of great information and great stuff coming from QuicKutz. They are truly a first class company. I can't tell you about the new products, but I am really excited about the potential!  (Don't worry, there isn't a new tool, if that is what you were thinking!) Got to tour the die plant. The dies are made right here in Utah, that was a really interesting process. It always amazing to see the inner workings of a location.

I figured out why when I call anyone from Utah, they are always so friendly! The view around here is absoulutely amazing. This is the view from the QuicKutz die plant. How would you like to see this outside your work window?

Here are some photos I took inside. Really interesting stuff!

If you have been waiting on the summer release dies, the first 3 weeks will be in the store next week. Good news! More later if I have time. I am off to crop night for some more fun. 

Packing, Sprinkling, Drinking and MORE Packing!

So, yes, I have been a bad blog slacker once again. I think that I am finally going to accept that it is who I am and stop feel guilty about it! Here is what I have been doing!!! So much more to go.

Not sure if you can really tell how many boxes are there. But lots and like I said so much more to do.

Today we took a break and went to visit Gabe's 2nd cousin Shiloh. Shiloh and Gabe are a little over a week apart. They had fun running in the sprinkler. Love these photos...ahhh to be almost three again!

Earlier in the week, we were invited to go to a soft opening of Allentown Brew Works. My cousin is one of the sioux (sp?) chefs there, so a bunch of my family went down.  This is my favorite photo. My Aunt and Grandmother drinking a beer. Not a common sight at all! It makes me smile...but it is the BREW WORKS, so you had to try it!

I leave to go to a QuicKutz retailer event in Utah on Tuesday. (Yeah!) So soon I have to start a different kind of packing. If you don't here from me before Tuesday, I won't be bloggin' for more then a week. (Not that it really different from any other week!)
