what is it about Arizona...

it just feels like home to me.

the sun is always shining.

it's warm.

{no it's hot}

last week i went to Arizona for a few meetings and to celebrate a dear friend's birthday.

i love Arizona.

i think living in Arizona gets into your blood.

your heart.

the heat must have something to do with it.

it burns it's way into your soul.

at least that's what it feels like to me.

we lived there for only 5 years.

but it has stayed with me.

Bazzill is based in Arizona.

so last week i got to go down for a couple of days.

meet with the Bazzill team.

celebrate Frani's birthday.

{how adorable is she?}

{look at all that amazing paper.}

stay with lorie.

eat at my favorite restaurant with the Master.

{lorie's husband}

do a little shopping at Bazzill.

tie up the lines for CHA Winter 2012.

yes...

so excited.

i feel so grateful to be working with Bazzill.

the team is amazing.

it's like coming home.

i know i have said that, but it is.

so warm, comforting.

it just feels good.

Bazzill is a Happy place to be.

i was excited to get a bunch of goodies for my December Daily.

{if you don't know about December Daily, go to Ali Edward's blog and check it out.}

this year my goal is to have it all ready to load with photos and memories before December 1st.

in years past i have tried to do all in December.

yeah right.

this year i am going to have it prepped ready to load.

i am using Bazzill's Likety Slip raw chipboard album.

{LOVE}

this raw album is perfect.

it's a 9X12 for me a great size.

to be honest.

12X12 is a football field to me.

i started out as a 8 1/2 X 11 scrapbooker and have never really scrapped 12X12...

{gasp}

but true.

so 9X12 is perfection.

Bazzill also makes 9X12 page protectors call Lickety Slippers.

they are awesome.

they have fold outs, places for journaling, photos, memorabilia etc.

{a must}

perfect for December Daily or Week in a Life.

i am totally stoked on them.

I also am going to be using Bazzill's Holiday Style line for the base of my album.

this line is a lot of fun.

i am a traditional girl so i will only be using the red and greens...

yes i love PINK.

but not for my Christmas!

{wink.}

this week i am having girlfriends over for a craft day.

we are going to be working on our December Dailys.

so while i was at Bazzill, i gathered.

it was a great few days in Arizona.

this morning as i woke up and went on my walk i was missing it big time.

it was  cold.

the sun finally came out...

it's warmed up to a balmy 36 degrees.

damit.

i miss Arizona.

Happy Monday.

kiss kiss
