WOW! Brace yourselves with at least 2 cups of coffee to keep up with me on THIS post today. Im long winded (as usual) and ahve so much to share.
Well as you know we had Stamp New England about 2 weeks ago! It was a BLAST!!!!!!!
You may have missed the event but you don’t have to miss my project. Keep reading.
It was wicked awesome to finally have a event in NEW ENGLAND!! Granted I got to CKC, but that is for shopping not stamping! LOL!
I was first up to teach that day, and was happy about getting it over with, then I was a little nervous as I looked around and it seemed like every single person was intently listening to my every word! I don’t get nervous about public speaking easily, since Im definitely NOT a shy person, but I have to say I was a little intimidated! LOL! All of the sudden a room of people who “know me” is in front of me waiting to see what I am going to do!
I was scared I would let them down! LOL! Then I got a grip, once I started talking, and felt right at ease. I just knew I had to do what I do,be myself, and not worry about what flies out of my mouth! LOL!
I had so much fun meeting and getting to know everyone, even though it was a bit busy.
It was SUPER amazing of Nichole, Jane and Julie to donate a Life Stamp set to every attendee, and for Nichole to take the time to put together the My Timeless Template I made special for the class called Get a Handle On It.
It will be released this month on April 15th. I was very excited to share it with everyone early, and get feedback on it right away.
I got new video editing software with our new computer ,which had tons of problems at first, but my sweet hubby hung in there to get it to work! Its called-Windows Movie Maker.
So I laid in bed doing this yesterday! It was SO much more fun than the other one. I love the options more. I think it looks more professional. Although I do need practice I think this first one was FUN, and not too bad! LOL! Now I have a list of tutorials to do using this new process, and I can FINALLY do High Def!! YEAH!
I put the template intro video into a clip, and then all the photos I have of everyone. I was just playing around. I hope you enjoy it! I was also able to get MUSIC onto the pictures in the end! Let me know how you like that part too.
Forgive the song! It was the only one I had ready. I do love it and think its pretty catchy, it makes watching photos much more fun-so if you have your volume up, you may want to adjust it a bit. I need to purchase more songs on my computer for future use.
Enjoy the video:
Now for MORE fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So who wants to win my class kit from Stamp New England?
One pre-printed My Timeless Template © (not due for release till April 15th) called Get a Handle On It © with the Stamp set Life.
Here is the project
This is a SUPER sized box, that will fit many gifts!
This box EASILY held at least the 38 bite size chocolates that we swapped at the event! WITH room to spare! Looks deceiving doesn’t it? I put my Lauren touch on this and have to say one of my favorite projects to date.
Top view
The flap closure on this is SOOOO fun-you will see more details as we get to the countdown! The sides fold over the handles, so the handles POP though, letting the box flap closed.
Trust me, really cute. Not just a square box.
Side
Just a simple, stunning box, that can fit so many wonderful gifts!! Even the bottom is decorated with a scallop panel. Who wouldn’t love this?
I put the ORIGINAL box, made by me, and signed on the back, on my Etsy Shop! (Also ALL this months template countdown projects will FINALLY have a home there! )
SO leave a comment here, and I will enter you to win the same packet the girls at Stamp New England got!
That means you win the printed version of the template-so you can put it together at home, and give it a try before it’s even released, and you get it with with the cut supplies to make this project as seen here, and the Life Stamp set too!! YIPEE!!!
Now let me chat a bit
This is my dear friend Paulette!
(OK I look so tired in this photo! EEK! It was the END of the day!!)
Everyone always wants to know WHO is that mysterious person I alway talk about, that is usually on the other end of the phone, when my life is upside down or I have a problem! Aside from my mom who listens but probably doesn’t understand how BIG it is (if you don’t stamp HOW can you GET IT really! LOL! Or know the who, what, when, and where)—the only person who COMPLETELY gets my stamp insanity, and why I do what I do—-that would be Paulette.
She is THE ONE who got me so into stamping in the first place! She was a SU! demo when we met, and after a few months convinced me to become a demo. Its been a whirlwind every since. So we can all thank her for really getting me into this INSANE hobby. My husband may not feel so nostalgic! LOL!
I was just truly happy, after so much hobby hopping, to feel like I finally found something I LOVE to do.
I had to BEG her to take a photo with me! GRR! I’m like” you are my friend!! For goodness sake we NEED a photo together!” FINALLY she agreed, after much begging.
Whats a girl gotta do?!
She is the unfortunate one who listens to all my complaining, and never seems to mind! God bless her soul.
She is just the sweetest person ever! Everyone needs a Paulette! She is the friend that is always there when you need an ear, or a favor, like die cutting 40 scallop nestability squares for YOUR class! LOL! Or who calls into work because she is sick with a migraine, then comes to take your kids so you can have surgery earlier.
Just so fun, funny and genuine. I can’t say enough about her.
Trust me, anyone who can listen to me several days a week is a SAINT. You see how I type, imagine me on the PHONE. All my conversations start: “OK! I won’t keep you long I just had to tell you……” then 2 hours later……still going. Then I suddenly realize my banter and say “OH! MY! GOSH! I kept you way too long. OK I’m going to let you go. Sorry for chewing your ear off.”
Jason doesn’t know why she answers the phone! LOL! He’s like she has caller ID right? Thanks Jay!
Here is a group shot of all the “teachers” at Stamp NE! This is on the video too.
Its Karen, me, Julie, Cindy, and Joanne.
Everyone did great projects.
The GENEROSITY of ALL the vendors was astounding. Thank you to all of them. I went home, online and placed SEVERAL orders! LOL!! It was very enabling.
Karen won tons of awesome stuff! LOL! She was ONE LUCKY girl!
Julie was UBER sweet, and was so great to me during the entire planning of the event. So wonderful to work with
Cindy has a HUGE SU! down-line, and following! I can see why. She is a sweet as pie. I had no idea!
Joanne I always KNEW she was sweet. we worked for Kim from My Favorite Things together (who I love!) and she is always so cute, and funny. She is just adorable and sweet in person. She even called me to offer to help with my last minute stuff after my gall bladder attack! That is just amazing when she had her OWN stuff to do too.
Everyone was totally amazing. Made me feel at home. Like I knew the entire room of people for years. I did have some familiar faces. It was so great to meet people who interact with me here on my blog, finally in person.
Now one more person I can’t forget that isn’t in the photo is Kim-she was a big planner for this event and you can see it is in her blood! She is just so darn purty in person too! LOL!
Kim Scholfield, Joanne B. and Julie Masse worked so hard on this event and it really showed!! Everything was well organized and AMAZING!
I would definitely teach or go to another event these girls plan, let me tell you! Count me IN!
I was like the AMAZON of the entire class! I’m 5’10 so that put me WAY taller than most people. It was AWFUL! Between that and my ZEBRA shirt! LOL! I wanted to shrink-and burn every photo. Jason told me to wear that shirt, and I KNEW I shouldn’t have looking back. Oh well.
I am actually slouched down in most of the photos if they are a close up! LOL!
So that is it for now.
Jay is STILL home letting me recover. Im doing my best and I know you THINK I’m doing stuff, trust me Im not. I feel SOOOOOO LAZY its insane. I slept for like the past 3 days. I want to take a marathon run around my block! LOL! I’m getting antsy. But trust me I CAN’T move like I want, so no worries.
I have a wedding to attend on Saturday, and I have a SATIN dress-that shows every curve (or cellulite bump) so I better not be bloated for it. I LOVE my dress!! Its pretty hot. It took me forever to find one that I liked, let alone LOVED.
I find I’m in between ages at this point in my life. I want to look nice, but not too young, and not too old. Its a fine line.
After much searching WHERE is that typical hot little black dress? It doesn’t exist anymore!
The dresses were either too young, too old or too PROM! OR there is HUGE bold print in bright colors that I don’t want splashed across my garment. A card-yes! My dress-NO!
Whats a girl to do.
I had a super hard time finding something SEXY but not HOOCHIE! I work hard to get my flat stomach so Im not wearing a SACK……
Im not 17 anymore so not into super short, you better not bend over, or the world will see what your mama gave you…….
or the I think I need sunglasses that woman has so much bling on her dress……
or the “how YOUNG does she THINK she is” dress………
Or OH MY WORD! Look what Lauren is actually wearing dress……
I wanted the “WOW! You look great!” dress. The kind that your husband has you on his arm and won’t let you out of his sight dress! LOL!
The on that just makes you FEEL good about yourself. Not one you have to wear SPANX to get into, but you are just comfortable in your own skin in.
I think I got it.
I’ll share photos of that when we come back. Jay and I get a night out, overnight! WAHOO!! Finally. We don’t ever get time away. This will be nice.
WOW! Can you tell I’ve been COOPED up?! Holy first chapter to the novel Im writing!
Anywho-thanks for stopping by! If you read this you must have been as bored as I have been!

glad you are feeling better. It will keep getting better every day. Love the new template! Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow Lauren – I’m first – Yeah!!! Glad to see you are “feeling” better!!!! LOVE your post today!!! I was sitting at my desk at work laughing out loud (thank goodness I’m the only one in the office at the moment!) reading about your dress shopping – I have the same problem too (although my body is not in the great shape yours is – YET – lol). I have such a problem finding an age appropriate dress – not too old – not too young. Someone out there needs to start a line of clothing for women our age!!!! Love the project from Stamping New England – it is beautiful and so you. I would love to win the set so thanks for the opportunity!! Although I don’t think being the first comment will be in my favor for being picked – haha. Just wanted to say I’m glad to see your back blogging – I miss it when you miss a day!! Keep getting better!
Glad you are feeling better! That event looks like so much fun… makes me wish I were in New England. Awesome new template… love it.
HOW EXCITING!!!! This template looks like sooo much fun. It’s nice to see you up and about and teaching a class?!?!?! Wow.
Omg what a CUTE little project!! I’m anxiously awaiting my latest Papertrey purchase to get to play with the Life stamps! So awesome!!
Wow! That is so exciting! I love your project! Hope that you continue to feel better! Thanks for all of your inspiration!
Hi, Lauren – sounds like you are on the mend! Just don’t over-do! I love the new template and your project is just awesome! Thanks for the chance to win. Have a fun overnight!
It looks like you had a great time. I wish I could go to this type of event, but they just don’t exist in Saskatchewan. Thanks so much for sharing your template early, and posting so many photos of that fabulous event.
What a neat class kit! I am teaching my first class in a couple of weeks and so I get the “nervousness” part.
Thanks for the chance to win and I hope you continue to fell better!
Lauren, I’m so glad your gall bladder didn’t keep you away from Stamp NE–I wish I could have gone, as it was a friend went, so I could live vicariously! It is nice to have a friend like Paulette, and I’m glad you found a dress you LOVE! You look Fab, and take all the time you need to recover from your surgery. People need you at your wide open 100 % BEST!
What a great project!
It looks–and sounds!–like you all had a fabulous time! Thanks for sharing the video and pictures with us.
I’m glad to hear you are still taking it easy! And your dress for this weekend sounds awesome! Hope you guys have a wonderful time.
Looks like all of you girls had such a fun time at Stamp New England! Love the box, thanks for offering the blog candy. Take your time recooperating, Lauren.
I made it to the end. I wasn’t bored either. But I do have a lot of “sit time” while my son is in the hospital. Today is the day we find out if he will be able to have surgery to help with his seizures. Right now he is hooked up to a couple of moniters and has nine probes with electrodes stuck in his head and then his head is all wrapped up.
Anyway, lots of time to look at blogs and read.
Glad you are feeling better.
Thanks for a chance to win a great package.

Glad to hear you’re taking it easy – hey girl you just had surgery!!! Loved the video, the pics and comments. It looks like a fantastic event – sorry I missed it. Have a terrific day.
Lauren: You absolutely crack me up! I find myself relating to all your posts, especially the hoochie dress 😉 I was looking for one for a cruise and finally found one.
I’ve heard all about the Stamp NE event and hope the next one I might be able to sneak up with my friend Stefanie to attend.
Great templates!
Love the box – soo cute. Looks like you had a ton of fun in NE!!! As far as the dress shopping – I gave up on dresses a looong time ago – I am an old lady in a pant suit these days!!! LOL
So glad to hear that you’re on the road to recovery! Sounds like each day is a bit better than the last 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win a copy of your new template and the life set! I’m SUPER excited! LOVE the set AND your template! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you are feeling better! I can’t wait to watch the video. . I have to run out to a dr appt now, but looking forward to seeing all of the fun I missed! 🙂 That box is just GORGEOUS!
So glad to hear your feeling better! Thanks for all the inspiration on your blog.

Lauren, you have done it again!! What a sweet little box! I’m so glad you are starting to feel better-your comments about women’s dresses really cracked me up-how true!! Thanks for sharing the video-wish I could have been there.
Lauren,
Glad you are feeling better. Your box is beautiful and enjoy your long posts, and the humor you put in them.
So glad to hear your doing better. I had my gallbladder taken out last month. I feel so much better. The first week is a little rough. Your body is getting used to not having a gallbladder. Isn’t it funny how you can hear and feel the things going on in your stomach. It passes though. Get up and move around but take breaks and relax. It may have been a short and easy surgery but it was surgery and your body needs to heal. I wish you luck this weekend.
Glad you are the mend Lauren – don’t know how you come up with these gorgeous templates! Box is fab, take care xx
So happy to hear you are feeling better!
I LOVED the video in the below post!!
This is a great template and I love the Life set stamps. What a great giveaway. Just reading your blog makes me exhausted. I don’t know how you do it all!
Your new template is adorable. Glad you are starting to feel better after your surgery and I hope that your recovery continues smoothly!
Hi Lauren!
You seem like such a nice person! You make me laugh just by watching you! I would love to live a bit closer to you so I could attend one of your classes. If you want to ever teach a class in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), please let me know so I can be there!
Love, Hanne
Wow girl I don’t see how you have the energy to do all that you are doing right now with just having surgery. Glad you’re recovering quickly. Love your stuff. Thanks for the chance to win.
Glad you’re feeling better! I love the new template. Now I’m going to go watch the video!
i love the project… I am glad you are feeling better
So glad you had a good time – I’ve heard nothing but great things about your class and the whole event.
Glad to hear you’re still taking it easy. It took me a while to really recover from the surgery when I had it so just hang in there! You’ll be back up and bouncing around like Tigger before you know it!
I would LOVE to win the class package you have up for grabs – the box is SO beautiful!
What a great video. I’m still sad that I couldn’t go. Seems like it’s been forever since I’ve seen you and even longer for Paulette. Miss you guys! Glad you’re feeling better and can’t wait to see you in that super sexy dress. You truly look amazing!
Your class looked like tons of fun! I’m so jealous they got the stamps AND templates!! I’ll be crossing my fingers to win my own. Glad you are feeling a bit better!! *hugs* 🙂
Lauren, Glad you are on the mend! Love your work, you are amazing! I only have 2 children, but can’t imagion how you have anytime to do anything. Thank you for all the inspiration!
I am glad your feeling better. I know what you mean about the dress my husband has a company formal every year which I dread shopping for. Another awesome class and timeless template. Thanks for the chance to win.
Glad you are feeling better! I would LOVE it!!! This set has been very elusive and it is so stinking cute.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
What a cute project from your template, Lauren. I like that it’s a little larger than a lot of gift boxes/bags projects. Would be great to win. Thanks!
It seems you are feeling better, I´m glad. Thanks for the awesome giveaway, I can´t wait to try out your new template. It just looks great.
Hi Lauren, I am glad you are feeling better. Remeber to take it easy. 🙂 The Stamp New England looked like so much fun. Iwish I could have been there. Hugs, Sarah
Lauren – I am so glad you are feeling better. Sounds like you had a blast teaching the class and the template is AWESOME!! Enjoy your night out with you sweet HUBBY!!
Hugs, Kimmy
I love the project! And the chance to win it is great also! Thanks for sharing your video of NE. Sounds like everyone had a blast.
I wish I could win this package. I love your templates and the Life stamp set is so beautiful. I live in SA, so attending any of your classes would be impossible, but a dream come true. Your class project is absolutely stunning.
I love it! Thanks for the chance to win!
Lauren,
I hope you are all healed and back to 100 % soon. Enjoy the wedding this weekend and the time with Jay. Thanks for always being such an inspiration. I wanted to get to the Stamp New England event but it wasn’t in the cards but I do plan to attend a future one – especially if you are there. I need to meet my stamping idol once in my life time 🙂
Hugs,
Teresa
Wow!! You are amazing!! You ooze talent!!! Thanks for the chance to win. I wish I lived by you and could meet you!! Maybe one day!
Wow! This box is gorgeous!! Can’t wait ’til the 15th! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Cindy
Wow, Lauren…the new template rocks! I can’t wait for this month’s release, your ideas always inspire. Thanks for the chance to win!
WOW LOVE THAT BOX CANT WAIT
Oh wow! This box looks fantastic! I have the hardest time finding a box just the right size and this looks like it can hold quite a bit! I love the way you used the frame on the front. I made it clean and classy. Can’t wait until the 15th!
I would love to have your job. I love making all these 3-D projects that you’re so good at. I don’t have time to scrapbook anymore because all I do is make card and boxes.
Love it!
Wow Lauren… Your ideas are endless… Glad to see your feeling better take it day by day… all of my children were C-Sections. so I understand how you are feeling…. Thanks for the chance at the template.
Happy Easter
Melissa in WI
Hi, I’m glad you are feeling better and as Joyce just said – I want your job – but that would mean I’d have to be as creative as you are and I’m not. But I’m trying. Thanks for great ideas.
Gorgeous box Lauren, you do such fabulous work. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Lauren:
Your really becoming famous my dear! You are so cute when you do your videos and I love all the hand movements – it engages your audience to watch you. PS I’d love to win.
Wow. Looks like you had alot of fun at your retreat. I would have loved to come to New England. I love it there. So pretty.
Hope you feel better
Erin
Great to see you are feeling more like your self! Love the project..but then I love all your timeless templates – I just need half your energy to make more projects with them! Thanks so much for the chance to win these awesome goodies…
I just love all of your templates! I am very excited to get the chance to win. So happy to see you up and about and on your way to a full recovery. Have a great day!
Oh my gosh, that was such a fun video. I LOVE watching people be really surprised about stuff! Too fun. How nice.
I would LOVE this stamp set, and kit. Unlike a lot of ladies, I’m JUST getting into stamping and scrapbooking/card/box making, and I’m realizing how expensive it is…but on the OTHER hand… how addicting it is! lol. My husband will tease me and tell me that I’m literally drawn to scrapbook/craft stores. hee hee. I have bought a lot of stamps lately, because they are SO great, but never a brand new set! But It’s kind of a challenge to see how I can use my stamps in LOTS of fun different ways, once I get them.
Whew, long post. Sorry. I would just LOVE to get this set, and play with it! It is SO cute.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Shelley
Ps. You are SO cute in ALL of those pictures. And if YOU talk with your hands too much, then you would DIE if you saw me in front of a room full of people. 🙂 You did great!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I have missed you the last few days 🙂 I’m also excited about the chance to win your template and the stamp set. You never cease to amaze me!
Love your new template!!! I had so wanted to come to Stamp NE but kids activities kept me here. Can’t wait to see more sneak peeks soon! Glad you are still taking it easy and recovering and that Jay is able to be home with you. Have fun on your night away!! Can’t wait to see pics of the dress.
Soooo glad to read you’re feeling better. LOVE love your newest template — can’t wait to get it! (Early would be great, too) Can’t wait to see pictures of your dress–I was laughing out loud reading about your ‘search’!
Good to see you’re your chatty self 🙂 Can’t wait to try this new template! Hope I win it !!!
Lauren, your boxes are so beautiful, I am becoming a “boxaholic” I love making them and then putting little gifts or treats for friends. Thank you for the opportunity to win it!!
You crack me up – especially the details about the ‘dress’ – can’t wait to see some photos. Love this little box – and the video was great. Looked like so much fun. Hope you are up and at it real soon.
WOW can I just say I Love the project and the color combo is like my fav. I Also had my gallbladder out when I was 17 so I recovered super quick, but I know that as we get older our bods dont cooperate as well as we would like. I can tell you have alot of spunk in you so you will be bouncin around in no time. I also loved the music on the video. I was dancin in my chair. YOU ROCK GIRL!!!
Watching the video I kept seeing the same items;
ATG tape guns
Scor-Pals
Scor mats
Fiskars cutters
Definitely my kind of class!! I wish I could have been there.
Your box is so cute and original. I would love to win this.
thanks much

So glad that you are feeling better! Hope that you have a fun wedding weekend – can’t wait to see pics. Love all of your templates and would love to win a sneak peek project!
Lauren.. you look FAB!! Looks like you all had such a great time.. the project is adorable.
I Don’t know how your doing all this, makes me feel like a looser, I have to stand just to blurf…Then again I guess my surgery was a little different…Well, the fact that your super women too!! lol, your post’s always make me smile, and being in my bedroom since friday I needed that. I’d love to win this, first because I can’t get any of your templates, I don’t have a printer and second, since I don’t own any papertray stuff, and would love to try it!
Thanks for the uplift on another down day!
SO GLAD to hear you are back home and ALREADY POSTING! HOORAY Lauren!!

Thanks for the chance to win. This project looks great!
I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Hi Lauren, I am glad you are feeling better. My husband just had his gallbladder removed a few months ago, the recovery is slow but you will feel so much better soon. By the way, I loved the “wicked awesome” line. It made me feel nostalgic, it’s so New England.
You’ve done it again Lauren, another stonker!! Love the new template (I NEED this one) and the stamps look fantastic!
Glad to hear you’re on the mend – I really don’t know how you manage all that you do….do you ever sleep? lol
Jo

Lauren, you are too funny. It’s good to know that you are feeling much better. Stamp NE must have been a hoot. The template is so great. Thanks for the chance.
Ooooh…that is an awesome box. And the stamps…I definitely want the stamps too! And I had no idea you were that tall…I’m 5’9 3/4″…probably have you beat in the shoe size department though Ü Can’t wait to see that stunning dress!
Nope, not bored….highly entertained!!! When I read your posts, I always feel like I’m listening to you rather than reading…..your writing is very conversational and lots of fun to read! :> Speaking of fun to read, I loved reading about your dress selection process….totally got me smiling, thanks!
Your template looks really versatile! And just gotta love black, white, and raspberry fizz! And Life looks great with it! :>
You have out done yourself—Love all of your templates.
Hi Lauren, what a great new template! Glad to hear you are getting better every day. Thanks for the chance to win and also for sharing pics of the stamping event. Wish I lived in New England!
Your new template is absolutely adorable! I love your work. Hope you get better soon so you can be out & about. 🙂
I love the box that you made…so cute, and the colors are great! I always read your blog-thanks for the chance to win!
Love the new template. I already have a bunch of ideas for it. Thanks for the giveaway. Hope you are feeling better.
Hi Lauren,
Glad to hear you are feeling better! Love the project, and the stamps are gorgeous! I always look forward to see what you create next.
Glad you are feeling better! Love your box. Can’t wait to see your dress. Have a fabulous time!
Lauren – glad to know that you’re recuperating from surgery and hopefully pretty soon you’ll be feeling better than ever. What an adorable template and a great stamp set that was used for this project. Thanks for the opportunity to win this creative package.
You weren’t kidding when you said it was a long post…BUT it was worth the read! Your new template is lovely! Could we have a picture w/ something next to it to gauge the size? It sure doesnt look as big as you make it sound. The stamp set is awesome looking too. Who doesnt love butterflies for Spring? Wonderful job. Congrats!
~Lana B~
Dear Lauren,
I love your blog and all you do. When I first visited your blog I told my daughter( her name is Amber) Lauren speaks my language. I have been making boxes for about 13 years and love it. I would have a hard time making a card, I just had more fun making boxes, after all you can use a box after the candy is gone! I am so glad you’re feeling better, I had that same surgery about 3 years ago. I know about the pain meds too I don’t tolerate them very well either. It has been fun getting to know you on your blog, you are always sharing great things.I also wanted to let you know I have been praying for you to be back to normal soon , just give your self time to heal.
Wow it looks like everybody had a good time. I would love the chance to win one of those templates.
Cute box! thanks for the change to win! You are so talented, thanks for sharing your talent with all of us!
Great box and thank you for a chance to win it…how exciting!!! Thank you 🙂
Glad that you’re feeling better. The box is awesome! Thanks for a chance to win your project.
Great box! I can’t wait to see more examples! I know I’ll be blown away. Now that I’ve read your innermost thoughts about your dress, I can’t wait to see the one you picked out…LOL. You are too funny.
What a cute template! I can’t wait to see more of it in the countdown!
The video was great. I wish I could have been there! The stamping fest looked like SO much fun! Glad you are recovering well, hope that you have a great time at the wedding.
Kristi
Lauren, so glad to see you feeling better. Love your video. You have so much energy and love seeing what you come up with. This is another amazing template from you. Can’t wait to get it!!
Glad you are doing better after your surgery. I would love to win the template. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks! Janny
I love your cards and your templates. I love the way you decorated the box and I can envision many ways to use it, especially after just having planned my daughter’s wedding and trying to decide on the favors.
Glad you are feeling better. have followed your blog for a while now so feel as though i know you. Loks like you has a great time and wish i didn’t live in another country as seem to miss all the good things happening. Love the new template and thank you for the chance to win
Loved watching the video!
Can’t wait for your new template to be released!
WOOHOO!!! This is great! Very Cool Video too.
Glad to know you’re doing well after surgery. Mine was nearly 28 yrs. ago and I have one loong scar and 2 others (drain and bile duct). Recovery wasn’t fun. Much better after all these yrs.
Anyway, Thanks for a chance!

Pam
Thanks for the chance to win. I love your templates. I’m addicted.
You are an amazingly talented person and I look forward to reading your posts daily! I would love a chance to win your template! I hope your feeling better and don’t worry you will look amazing at the wedding! Have a great day!
glad that you’re feeling better Lauren…please pick me for your awesome template!
It certainly seems like you are feeling better. I’m so glad! You always make me laugh when you type your long-winded messages. You’re so cute!
I love the new template and sure hope I win it! 😉
Thank you so much for the write up on Stamp New England. I hope to be able to attend this one day. Until then I will continue to live vicariously through the different websites.
Keep resting and you will be jogging around the block before you know it!
What a fab project – and how special did those delegates feel !! I would LOVE to take a class with you, you’re funny (love the Ebay comment) and the hootchie dress – how about making one? It’s REALLY easy !!! (yeah, and a nice dress isn’t much harder !!!;D ) Thanks for the opportunity to win this. You have no idea how thrilled I’d be ! xx
I am glad you are feeling better. I really enjoyed the video everyone is so happy to see you there specially when you handed out the gift. Hope I can win your template!
wow, another great project!
You are too funny! Love the story about the dress – can’t wait to see pictures! And keep those awesome templates coming – I love them!
Hi Lauren! What a GREAT template! I would LOVE to win this wonderful gift, as the Life stamp set was already out of stock when I placed an order recently. Having the template to go along with it would be icing on the cake!
Thanks so much for all of your amazing inspiration. Take care. . .take advantage of this time to get caught up on your rest.
What a sweet project. Take care. Jill S
Looks like another amazing template! How I would have loved to be at that class. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi Lauren! You crack me up! I have the same problem finding clothes! I would love to win your template and stamp set. I have all of your templates so far. I use them all the time and everyone is amazed at what I have done. When I tell them it is a template they can’t believe it.
Thank you for sharing your stamping ideas and your personal experiences with us.
Your newest template is so cute! Looks like a fun project! Have fun at the wedding!
You are truly amazing. I would have LOVED to have gone there. Too bad I am on the other side of the country.
I love the box you made. Of course there really isnt’ a template you made that I don’t like.
I am glad you are resting. I know how hard it is. In January I put my back out and it was very difficult depending on everyone to do EVERYTHING. Seriously, I needed help to just get out of bad, I hated it. I couldn’t wait to get up and move.
I know what you mean about the dress too. We are the same age but I know you are in WAY better shape than I am in. If I had lost a bunch of weight I would so want a dress just as you described.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Lauren, I always love reading your posts! If I ever meet you in person I will feel like I’m just getting together with a friend – we’ve already met! You do sound like you’re feeling better. I hope you have a great time at the wedding. And don’t we all want to own a dress like that!
The template looks awesome! I’m glad you feel better and have fun at the wedding. Your time at Stamp NE sounds like an awesome time, someday I’ll have to make the trip out that way. Thanks for another great blog and awesome projects. 🙂
So glad you are feeling better with each day….I love the new template…it is really cute…can’t wait to see what else you come up with, you are truly inspiring. THANKS!
I love your blog, so many beautiful ideas =)
You always cheer me up and make me laugh so its good to see your feeling all better.. I finally am too YEAHHH to feeling better! (((HUGS))
I’m glad that you’re feeling better. That template looks fabulous, really professional!
First of all wishing you a speedy recovery to full health again.
I just wish I was not so many thousands of miles away – and of course across an ocean! – I would just love to experience your fantastic classes IRL! Anyway, this project is just fantastic – thank you for the opportunity of this giveaway. x
Looks like you girls were having loads of fun making the box at Stamp N E. Neat stuff on your blog. Thanks for offering this packet.
Oh my goodness! What a cute template! I am a relatively new PTI stamper and recently bought my first My Timeless Template! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Can’t believe how much you can do with Filed with Flair. This template looks amazing as well! Can’t wait to see all of your sneak peeks! You are so darn creative!!! Hope your recovery is going well! Thanks
Loving your new video set up! (I can see, I can see!!) The new template looks uber cute! Glad your getting rest.
Looks like you all had a great time! Wish I could have join you all. What a great surprise gift from you and Papertry.. I would be over the moon to win one as well.
Hugs

Lauren,
loved the first chapter 🙂 I enjoyed your entry & hope there’s a next event I can go to. The project looked amazing- truly envious. I’m excited about the chance to win (even though I never win anything..regardless I have my fingers crossed). Keep taking it easy & i’m glad to hear you are starting to feel better. Can’t wait for the new template releases!!
All my best! V
Glad you are feeling better!!! Love your blog and the giveaway – thanks for the chance to win! Have fun on your night out – can’t wait to see that dress! : )
Well I am glad your ok and feeling better. As to your last comment. I wasn’t bored, just interested in what you had to say. It is always fun to read what you have to say and watch your videos. Everyone I knew talked with their hands at least once. Plus it’s really hard to stop, I do it all the time. Well I would love to win.
Super cute!! I am a Scentsy consultant and I think this may be a great size for our bars. I am always looking for a super cute way to package them. THis would let me use my love of scrapbooking with my Scentsy business. WIN, WIN!!
And I am glad to hear that everyone is feeling better.
SO glad to see your post – been thinking of you! The video is PERFECT and that was so nice of PTI to give out the surprises!
It would be wonderful to win both the set and the template!
Lauren I hope you and all the kids are better to enjoy the weekend. Glad to see you still try to maintain some of the “norm” of your day to day life. Thanks for all you share even when you are down and thanks for this chance at some awesome blog candy Take care and God bless Yvette
Hi Lauren! I’m never bored reading your posts. You make them so interesting and fun. I’m glad to see that you are getting back to normal (I can tell by the length of your post 😉 ). Wish I lived closer to you, so I could go to your classes!
Lauren,
Not bored but once you start you have to get to the end. Template looks gret and those stamps too – please put my name in the hat! I think you are on the road to recovery. Thanks Janine
No, Lauren, I wasn’t bored…I just love reading your blogs! 🙂 They are so fun to read….you blog like I talk! 🙂 You had me laughing with your “dress talk”. 🙂 Very cute! 🙂
Your video was awesome and even if I don’t win (which would be nice)…I will be getting your template. 🙂 BTW, Love the Bun in the Oven Template. Very fun! 🙂
Keep recovering and I want to see pics of your dress! 🙂
Hugs
oops….PS. Loved the song (I love the whole Circus CD). Very Fitting….you always entertain! 🙂 All eyes are on you! 🙂
Hugs (this is my last post, just forgot to comment that I loved your song on your video. )
Love the new template! I love ALL of your templates! Glad you are recovering well.
How cool! what a fun surprise for every one! I wish I lived in New England….well at least visited so I could take your class 🙂
HI
Hope you are better soon! I love all of your templates. I have the credit cards bills to prove it! This one is amazing too! I hope I win it!
Lauren- sounds like you are feeling somewhat better. I am cooped up too as I am undergoing IVF treatments and have to rest! Thanks for the chance to win the packet of goodies!
Enjoy the wedding on Saturday.
Looks like you guys had a blast! Your new template looks incredible! Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks for the chance to win!
By the long post, I’m assuming you are on the mend! I love reading your post!! I’m such a big fan of your! I’m sure your children and hubby will be happy when you get back to 100%! Thanks for the chance to win goodies!
Hi Lauren, I’m happy that you are sounding more like yourself – it means that you are starting to mend and feeling better.
You make me laugh! You write like you think & talk and it is so much more personal that way. I truly GET the dress drama – wait til you are older, it gets worse. I’m still a size 4 so I can wear almost anything they sell. But I refuse to dress like a pre-teen or an old bag-lady! And dresses are the worst – most are either/or. If everyone should own at least one perfect black dress, why doesn’t anyone make perfect black dresses?!
LOVE the new box template. Your sample is too cute.
I love reading your blog. As usual, the project you created is ab-so-lute-ly AMAZING. If I don’t win (LOL) I will definately be purchasing the template.
Hope you are feeling better! That box is SO cute!
Love all your work. So glad you share with us.
Wow! What fun you had. Great project!
Lauren so glad you are feeling better, you ‘sound’ a lot better!!! I am glad to know that it is an easy procedure to do, since I will have to have mine done too …..(scared like a chicken….:( ) Love your project!!!!
So glad you are feeling better! I love the new template! I have purchased several recently, and have created so many gifts, my husband feels like he is living in a gift shop! Continue to rest and recuperate
Lauren – What an awesome video – love it!! And thank you so much for teaching your class, working with PTI for their amazing gifts, and your adorable comments! 🙂
Glad to hear that you’re feeling well!
Hi Lauren. So glad you are feeling better. The template looks awesome. You all looked like you had a great time. Lots of fun thats for sure. Thanks for a chance to win. Take care and keep healthy.
Glad you are feeling better! Wish I could have attended Stamp New England! Looks like a fun time was had by all. I’m loving the new template!
Lauren,
I am glad that you are feeling better. Looks like another great template!!
WOW!! I just love your template-your work is amazing! Thanks for the opportunity to win the template and stamp set – I cant wait to see what you come up with next!
Glad to hear you are feeling better, and thanks for sharing the pics of your class. Looks like you were all having a great time. The template looks like fun as well, and thanks for giving us a chance to see it,and win one early.
Hi there! I am fairly new to your blog. My friend Jess introduced me to it (as she did the same for Papertrey Ink). LOL! I’m in love!
Your new template box is AWESOME! Thanks for giving us a chance to win it before it’s released! I am usually so scared to follow these creative project templates but this box ROCKS and I so need to learn how to make it!
Glad you are recovering! Take care!
Wow Lauren…. that was a marathon post and I loved reading it all ..certainly not boring! Hope you’re feeling better with each day.
another amazing template. Love the stamp set you used for it as well. Thank you for the chance to win. Glad to see that you are feeling better.
Thanks for the chance to win! Looks like the class was so fun 🙂
I don’t think there is a person out there who would be bored reading your articles! You are an inspiration to us all! I just wish I had a wee schmick of your energy!
🙂 Geri
Love your new template!
Kara
Glad to see that your out and about….and I hope feeling better…..Love your templates and I have every single one of them, so, I would love to have the new one before everyone else….
Mary
So glad you are feeling better! I just LOVE to read your blog, see your creations, and watch your videos! Thank you for all you do!
I would love to win this kit 🙂 How awesome!!!!
Looks like you had so much fun. I love going to those kind of get togethers. What you made looks like really nice too!
So glad you’re on the mend; can’t wait to see the pictures the “wedding dress”. Dressing the right age is always a problem for me, too. I don’t want to be an old lady (I’m 50, but probably look maybe 35 or so), but certainly don’t want to look like I’m trying to look younger than I am either. I agree, what’s a girl to do! Love your templates and would love to win the packet from your class. Thanks for the opportunity!
Glad to hear you’re starting to feel better. Rest really is the best medicine! 🙂 I’m drying samples and it’s making me crazy, so thanks for having a fun post for me to read 🙂 Darling Darling new template – Can’t wait to snag it at the next release!
I’m sure you will fit into that dress great- you look amazing! All those hard work-outs REALLY paid off! Wow SNE looks like it was so much fun! I’m also lovin’ the template 😉
Feel better!
I love that one! I am going to have to get that template…..
Wow…looks like you all had a blast! Glad your feeling so much better & yes you will look hot in your dress, think positive girl!!!
I luv that box, it’s so beautiful! I have always loved your creations & I also love your ramblings, you make life so interesting & you have such a great positive attitude! Keep up the good work!
That project is beautiful, another Lauren classic!
I’m glad you’re on the mend, take your time and don’t rush back to full speed.
Your new template is fabulous! Great work on the video. I hope that you are feeling 100% really soon!!
Lauren, I’m glad to hear you’re on the mends. I went through the same thing a few years back. At least you’re in shape. I’m older and it took me a week or two I guess to bounce back.
I bought one of your templates, File It with Flair, and I had the most fun playing with it. It is one of my favorite things to make now. I even have a Cricut Expression, but that template was the cutest on the Net. I just love it!
I hope I’m a winner of your new one. If not, I’ll have to just buy it.
Take care,
Debbie
Love the new box template. Thanks for the chance to win. Hope you feel better soon.
So glad to hear you are on the mend. How sweet of you to look out for us while you are recuperating!
Sounds like you had a great time, thank you for the chance to win such a great kit.
Glad you’re feeling better and what a great giveaway! I wish I had half your creativity and energy!!!
Wow Lauren…thanks for an opportunity to win an awesome prize. You are such an inspiration and I hope you are feeling better.
It looks (and sounded) like you had a great time at the getaway. What a neat project. Thanks for the chance to win.
Aren’t best friends the greatest?
Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself. Can’t wait to see your new Timeless templates for this month. I have purchased all of them and have made scads of gifts with them already. The “Get A Handle On It” box looks fun. TFS Ann Lind
What a great post today! You made me laugh… you made me cry…
I’m *so* glad you’re feeling better! PTL! How are the kiddies doing?
Great new template – It looks like a lot of fun to work with!
LOVE the pictures ESPECIALLY of you and Paulette. She is just amazing… I am so looking forward to meeting her and the others in April.
Hugs and Love,
Renee
Hi Lauren I love your blog, follow it every day. Hope you’re recuperating well! Thanks for the chance to win!
WOW! Your project looks awesome. I can’t believe how great Nichole was to give everyone in the class a stamp set. It’s cold in NH, but I would loved to have been there for that day.. lol My fingers are crossed that I can win 🙂 Thank you!
Wow! What a nice gift from PTI for all your guests! That lady was right…it’s like being on Oprah! Your projects are beautiful, as always. I never thought I’d be buying your templates (“why would I need THAT?”), but of course, I’ve purchased like four of them already! Great professional product! You can see one of my projects using your template here: http://kindcreations.blogspot.com/2009/03/pms-monday-challenge.html
Rest and get well so we can see more of your stuff! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Lisa
You are never boring!! Your blog is the first one I read every night, so you must be doing something right (: I wish I could come to one of your classes, but Texas is far away from you…
Glad to hear you’re on the mend, Lauren. I’m exercising as I type, so hopefully one day soon I’ll be looking for that dress you speak of. Happy recovery!
another amazing template! WOW! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Lauren I love the new template cant wait for it to release you always have the cutest ideas!
Woo Hoo, Lauren’s back!! I know you are as I’ve been writing often, but now – today- you sound like yourself once afain, our gal Lauren. Yaay!!
Go out and have fun on the w/e and remember: we are all expecting pics of that slinky number 😉
Thanks for the opportunity to win this set. Hope you’re feeling better.
Lauren – so glad that you are feeling better to blog and get back to normal. Hope you continue to improve as the days go by and that the wedding on Saturday goes well. You’ll look fab in that dress. The video looks like it was so much fun. I’ll have to try to go to Stamp New England next year as it’s not too much of a distance for me to do in one day. Might as well make a weekend out of it. 🙂 Thanks so much for the chance to enter the giveaway!
Lauren you are so amazing! I love your style and everything you make. Your blog makes my day. I am happy you are feeling better. I had the same surgery last June. Thank you for the opportunity to win your template. 🙂
Hey Lauren! I’m glad to *hear* you are sounding much better and all about your event at Stamp New England; of course, I am so jealous! 😉
And I know I’m late with entering for your candy, but I can’t resist with the temptation of your “Timeless Template” prize. They are so much fun that after I printed out your latest “Match Box Template”, I had to make several of them as your design and template make it SOOOOooo easy to understand 🙂
Ohhh and I love your new Saturday Sketch Badge ~ wish I had a blog to post it on =) Feel better & rest.
Lauren,
So glad you are feeling better. this is a great template, in fact all of your templates are the best. i love them all.

Awwww, how I wish I could have gone to Stamp NE; it must have been sooooo much fun! And wouldn’t it be awesome to win the kit you used there! Thanks for the chance to play along and keep on getting better Lauren!
Kathy Camasso
Lauren, I hope you are feeling better! Your box template is just too adorable. I love what you wrote about the dress thing. I’m at a loss too. The little black dress is so hard to find!!!
Glad to see you are feeling better. Surgery of any kind stinks. It’s hard with a busy family to sit down and take it easy and mend like the doctor says too. Anyway, I love the sneak peak at the new template coming up. I have some items I made with the Filed With Flair template on my blog http://www.stampinchick.blogspot.com. Check them out if you have time. Love your work.
Melissa
This new template looks awesome! Great little giveaway:)
Thanks for sharing the highlights from Stamp NE. Sounds like great fun. I’m lovin’ your new template. Thanks for the sneak peek and a chance to win your project pack. Hope you’re feeling better.
Great job at the conference. The box template with handle looks very cute. Can’t wait to try it!
Wow, you are feeling a bit talkative!
Thanks for the chance to win this cool template. It looks like you had a great time at the event.
So glad you are feeling better. Love your project and thanks for the video. >:0)
I would love to win your fabulous giveaway. I have not had a chance to try PTI stamps yet but if the quality is anything like the cardstock I know I will love them. Love your box template too. Keeping my fingers crossed. >:0) Thank you so much for the opportunity!!
Have a fabulous night!!
Tonya
I love the black and white picture of you and Paulette-beautiful! Looks like a great time and what a cool project 🙂 I can’t wait to see your dress for the wedding, I feel your pain with the “in between” shopping! Have fun and don’t over do it!
The box is so awesome! Thanks for a chance to win.
Sounds like you are on the mend, but don’t overdo it! I would love to win the prize…that stamp set is awesome and looks fantastic on your box.
I KWuM about the dress. Hard to find for me too! I sure hope I win, I want Life so badly!
Well, I can tell by your post today that you are feeling more like Lauren!! That is good. The new box template looks as awesome as the others and can’t wait to put it into my shopping cart over at Papertrey. Take care and give yourself all the time you need to recover.
Man I wish I lived close enough to go to your classes! Super cute project!! 🙂 Glad to hear that you’re on the mend.
🙂
Lindsey
Wow Lauren, where do you find the energy to do all that you do?!?! Just don’t overdo it and get your needed rest.
You have an amazing blog and I look forward every day to “visiting” with you. I love that you are so willing share your wonderful creations and snippets of your own life with all of us.
Loved the video and pictures, looked like lots of fun!
This is another great template and the finished box is simply adorable!
This is great candy you are giving away and I want to thank you for the chance to win it.
By the way, I sooooo get what you are saying about the dress!!!! (I have given up even looking for one)

I looks like everyone had so much fun…loved the video! Glad you’re on the road to recovery-Get some rest girl!!
Glad you are feeling well enough to post. As always, love your latest share. The internet is such an amazing place; without it a girl from Washington state would never enjoy the creations of a girl from New Hampshire.
Devina
I love the template and would have LOVED to have been at the scrap you taught. What a treat for all those ladies!!!
WOW! I can’t believe you’re posting already, you go girl! I want your energy =) What can I say, I LOVE your projects, they’re just right for any ocassion. Keep them coming, you’re very inspiring!

Thanks for keeping us all informed and for the giveaways…..glad you are coming back into the land of the living from your surgery…btw…you look great!!
I’m so happy that you are feeling better. I love love love your blog and read it everytime you post something. You make my day and inspire me so. Wish I lived in New England so that I could attend one of your classes.

I’m glad you’re feeling better, Lauren. I know it’s against your nature, but KEEP resting and taking care of yourself. Thanks for the chance to win your great new template!

Thanks for all the great ideas.
Roberta
Looks like you had a fabulous time! I’m so jealous! Your project is gorgeous (as usual). :o)
You nearly made me pee my pants after I read this…”I’m not 17 anymore so not into super short, you better not bend over, or the world will see what your mama gave you..” You should do stand up. LOL
Hope you start to feel more like yourself. Take it easy in the meantime.
Glad to see you back here!! The box is just beautiful (as are all your projects!) !!
You are so inspiring!

So nice of you to offer the package to those of us who live to far away to go the New England for stamping, but are bummed we missed out on all the fun. You are truly one creative woman. Thanks for sharing with us.

Loved the video Lauren. You looked great! I can imagine the excitement all the ladies had being there and given a free stamp set and a template that’s not even available yet!
I loved reading about Paulette too. It brought tears to my eyes because I have a Paulette in my life too. We’ve been best friends since 9th grade and she just found a lump under her arm yesterday. She is scheduled for a mammogram, but they won’t get her in for that for TWO WEEKS and last night it was getting to her and she was scared and crying and I just felt helpless. okay, now who’s writing the novel?!
Anyway, say a little prayer for her if you think of it!
I’m glad you’re recovering well. I love the new template – no surprise, they’re all fantastic. You are so creative and inspiring. Thank you for the chance to win your fab kit!

Lauren, Glad you feeling better! I love reading your blog every day. It makes me feel like you’re a part of my family. I’m sure everyone else feels the same way, too. Keep up your wonderful creative work!

Hi Lauren, I hope you continue to get feeling better. I love all of your fun projects. I think we all have a wonderful friend that got us into stamping / cardmaking. Thank you Annette! You were always there to help me and loan me stamps or stamp pads until I was able to create on my own. I love all of the PTI products.
Oh shucks! I bet I am too late to enter and the highest number never comes up to win LOL! Thanks for all your inspirations!
Love your new template. I’ve got some ideas cooking. Hope I win………
WOW! What a great surprise you had for that class. Love the look of this template. Would be great for a Mother’s Day gift!
Wow, another great project!! I would LOVE to be the proud owner of your new template and stamp set!!! Glad to hear you are doing better!
Thanks!
Girl, you crack me up! Glad to see you are feeling better. I understand your dress problems! I have a wedding to attend and I’m 25 so I can’t shop in juniors anymore but misses just seems too matronly. I love your storage idea for the buttons!
I hope you’re on the mend – I remember when I had my gall bladder out & it was a good week before I could stand upright. Of course I’ve never been in really great physical condition, so you’ll probably find you’ve recovered pretty quickly, all things considered.
I need to tell you how much I really enjoy your blog, your genius creativity & hilarious writing. I keep up with quite a few blogs, completely addicted to the stamping ones especially, but I so look forward to yours – what you have to say & what you’ve created. When do you have time to sleep? And now you have videos – yay you!!!
Glad to hear that you are feeling better Lauren! You’ll definitely have to go back through your post-op posts to see the effect the pain meds had. I think you’ll be amused.
The Stamp New England project is absolutely adorable! Love the colors! I can’t wait until the 15th to see the new templates.
Ooooh, ooooh, count me in! I want to win a template! In Particular….I want to win that adorable box with the beautiful butterfly! I am so glad you are making progress. You look wonderful in all your pictures, as does everyone. Your black and white with your friend is adorable of both of you. Nice work!

Lauren,
I’m so glad that you’re feeling better and can’t wait to see your teeny black dress! Thanks for all your sweet comments, it was so fun to get to meet you in person, and I hope you did take home that little seven layer bar for your freezer! And silly girl, you’re not an Amazon, I’m just barely over five feet tall. Hanging out with you, Jodi, Karen and Cindy, I felt like I was a little kid. LOL!
That little box was so fun to make, I gifted mine to my sister who got sick while we were away. She’s home with a new baby and was thrilled to have box of chocolate goodies!
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks SO much for everything you did to make SNE such a success!
Really cute box – simple, and lovely!
