Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

....and that's the truth! Here's a few pictures of several of the gals who came to our Fall Festival... the best part was just being together and stamping away the day... all while remembering our dear Judee....

We even caught Jeff amongst the girls cutting and pasting... he's pretty use to it though cuz we know he was always helping Judee with her projects...

And did I mention Door Prizes... wow look at these...

it was so hard to choose as everyone won something!

And we can't forget lunch......

Waiting in line for food...

and still waiting....

And of course the wait was worth it for dessert!!!!

I tolda ya... girls just wanna have fun!... and we did!

Tribute to Judee

It was an emotional day for all of us... filled with tears of missing Judee but at the same time filled with tears of joy just being together and able to honor Judee. Our dedicated table display and memorial donation was terrific. All the attendees were so very generous in heart and donated trememdously by purchasing Judee's stamp sets and handmade cards....

Best of all was having Judee's husband Jeff make a special appearance; accompannied by his son Nate, and his daughter Hannah who flew in from Texas, just to be here with us! Hannah has even signed up recently as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator also.... so we were able to welcome her now as an official Rubba Sista!

Jeff and Hannah presented us with some special gifts in Judee's honor.. Team Judee hats and t-shirts!

Shoppers eager to get some of Judee's treasures....

and all donations are going to the

Lifesharing Organization in memory of Judee Pepper.

Here's Susan finding a very special treasure for her to keep:

It was a very special time honoring Judee...

~ It just will never be the same without her ~

Fall Festival Projects

Our third Make n'Take was a mini stationary card box .. a very vintage look which was one of Judee's favorite... this is an exact replica of her sample she had ready to make for our Fall Festival... and one of my very favorite. I got the honor to host this Make n'Take... (with my little helper elf Shelly doing all the prep work behind the scenes xoxoxo)...

Using the Nature Walk set, it has four mini 3x3 note cards tucked into the adorable little container complete with outside pocket to stash a little pen or put the 3x3 envelopes for the notecards... you could also make a post-it note pad cover that would fit pefectly into the container base.

Our last Make n'Take was an elegant stationary envelope set, a team effort made by Wanda and Margie. Wanda did the Make n'Take project and Margie made the matching card... just beautiful...

In addition to Margie's elegant matching card, we had five more card stations .... first was our tribute card from Judee.. this came from one of her original designs. Evie prepared this card project for the Fall Festival:

Then in our Fall theme, first came a Halloween card which I prepared:

Tina came up with this awesome Thanksgiving gratitude card....

Julia our newest Rubba Sista prepared a cute Christmas card made with the new Woodland DSP....

And Pam created this adorable  Christmas stocking card, using the new Stocking punch along with the matching Stamp Set and she even used the silver glimmer paper for the trimmings!

And here's a few shots of the Rubba Sistas....
