For the past few weeks, most of my time has been devoted to planning for Summer Adventure Camp. It’s a lot of work but worth EVERY minute. We always have so much fun and getting to be around all the kids for a week is a real blast! One of our most popular activities is…
The All Things Silhouette Conference has just wrapped up for the weekend. What a great conference it has been! One of the best parts about events like this is seeing how other people use their machines . Yesterday was “swap day” and it was so much fun to look at everyone’s entries. As promised…
