1. I am cheating this week. Yup, cheating on my fellow CCEEr's. Our Monday challenge was to make a tag. I am cheating by saying that I made this tag specially for this challenge even though I didn't! Shhhh! Don't tell them, they won't have a clue!
2. I recently had the opportunity to demo two weekends in a row for Rubbernecker in their booth at an stamping expo here in Colorado. The weekend before last the expo was in my home town, Loveland, and the following weekend it was in Colorado Springs. My friend Janet (douthit5) and I traveled together to Colorado Springs the second weekend and we were roomies!
2. Although I made a couple of other projects to fill in with, this is primarily the little tag that I made both weekends, all weekend!! I think I made 42,000 of these!
3. Wow, did I love working with Tim Holz Distressed inks! They are so awesome and really pretty easy to demo...that coming from me.....a person who is not very good at techniques! Yikes!
4. This little tag is much prettier in real life as it is spritzed with gold perfect pearls which gives it a wonderful amazing shimmery glisten.
5. I had so much fun both weekends...but I gotta tell ya, I was beat! Just beat! On the way home we saw a tornado (we seemed to be heading right toward it on the highway) and we traveled through a pretty nasty hail storm. We were both glad to get home to be quite honest!

I think you should go in the Guinness Book of World Records for making 42,000 gorgeous tags these last two weekends! I love the colors and raffia, and I know what that shimmer looks like! I'm glad you had fun and you're home safely. We certainly don't want to add Tornado Chaser to your repetoire!

It's about time you show us what you were demonstrating. I bet before you started this tag, you made a mental note that it would be the special one for your challenge, didn't ya? I have never used any of those inks before. The tag looks really neat.
