Well Texas, here I come!  I am excited to share that I will be attending and teaching at The Collins Group Fall Education & Trade Show in Houston, Texas!  I am excited, scared out of my big girl pants, and honored to be among an amazing list of teachers and manufactuers.  This is an invite only trade show for retailers and I am beyond honored that FabScraps asked me to attend, teach and represent them.  I am a huge fan of their products AND the company so here I come Texas.

Now the push is on to design, kit and knock this class out of the park.  I can do it! Now on the inside I am thinking "what the heck have I gotten myself into?"  AND I am so glad I did not see the list of fellow teachers that I will be teaching with before I was hired to to do this!   Look at this….

  • Dyan Reaveley
  • Caroline Lau
  • Jen Starr
  • Lori Craig
  • Marah Johnson
  • so many more
  • and……….Tracy Weinzapfel! 

 

Nope, not going to do that and ask "Why Me?".  Instead I am going to hope the Creative Gods strike me and allow me to have a great time doing what I LOVE!  

 And…….to top it off this is a chance to see my girl (cousin and Goddaughter) Christine!  Is Texas really ready for both of us?  I am not too sure about that!

They say everything is bigger in Texas but it better be ready!  I have one goal to cross off the list….a photo with a big Texan with a 10 gallon hat and a hubcap belt-buckle.  This should be fun.  So Houston, watch out for us!  The girls are back together. 

So I will leaping and hope some amazing wings spout on the way down, sharing what I love so much and working with a company I equally love.  That is a recipe for Awesome!  As I remind myself of pushing others to leap I am thankful to those who give me nudges off the cliff to do what I love and share it with others.  Another one of those pinch-me moments doing what I love!

As for you little Chrissy-Lou you better be ready…….

Next week on Tracy Staycation 2013 I will be locking myself in my studio and working on an aweome Fabscraps project that will knock some socks off!  Thanks Fabscraps!
