LNS 2012

Hello Crafty Stampers!

The ladies that attended Convention this year have been sharing photos with all of us and they are wonderful.  There is so much to learn there - I have learned so much just by the photos!  I can't image how much more I would learn by actually being there!  Next years conventions time and dates are below.  There is also a link to click on for more info on the Late Night Stamper Group that attends convention and does all kinds of neat things.

Update on Matthew & Richard

Hello Crafty Stampers!

Both Matthew and Richard have finished their training in North Carolina.  Richard finished 3 days sooner then Matthew and was sent to Florida.  He said he is changing light bulbs on the run ways.  He said he will be going for more training soon and I had to laugh because I thought how hard can it be to change a light bulb?  Then he explained to me he will be going for training on how to set up a run way any where.  They will be teaching him all the electrical stuff and all that crap that goes with it and that you do need an education for!  The last I heard from Matthew he was on his way to Texas.  He was waiting on a plane in Georgia to take him there.  He will be going for training on Fire and Rescue from Choppers.  Richard wanted this too but didn't get it.  It is nice that they have phone liberty now!  I am able to find out what is going on with them much sooner.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

 

Have a great day!

Family Day

Hi Crafty Stampers!

We made it to Parris Island, South Carolina for the Marine's Family Day. 

Matthew was the scribe (secretary) and Richard was the scribble (secretary's assisstance).  Matthew had to wear this pair of glasses when he was performing secretary duty.  They were just a pair of frames - no lens in them.  

Drill Instuctor, Matthew and Richard (Family Day - Thursday, June 2, 2011)

It was really good to see the boys - it seems like forever ago since I saw them last.  They had so many stories to tell us.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!
