The time has flown by since I left Virginia- it’s already been a week!
After two days of driving, I picked up my designer friend Cheryl Boglioli and we set off for Everything Scrapbooks and Stamps, a Crafter’s Home store… Although it was pouring rain when we got there, we waited about 20 minutes and it cleared up. However Scotty took on some water and will have to get looked at…
I would like to thank Michelle McCosh, the store owner, for showing us such a great time.
We were greeted with a gift basket filled with treats, drinks and Florida oranges (the Milano cookies lasted about one day- it was so hot we had to eat them before they melted!) The best part though was the adorable tag that was tied on the basket…
Here’s the account of the weekend as told by Cassia Holanda– she posted so many great photos and captions on Facebook, I just had to share- she cracked me up! She was the organizer of when and where we would pose for pictures and kept us entertained with stories of how she dressed up her dog, Tux-zito! That’s Cassia in the middle with friends, Cindy and Charo on either side. I was excited to meet someone named Charo! These girls are amazing artists and I learned a lot while I was there…
Michelle McCosh and Nancy from ESS were the first hostesses of this trail of imagination! This was the Paper Trail first stop of a loooong USA trip! Sorry ladies , but we played with brand new creations that will only be out in NOVEMBER! But you can already order yours! :))
The ice on our cake was to be able to” visit” Eileen’s adorable camper which will be taking her and the dies, of course, across the USA!
We also had the wonderful Cheryl Boglioli as the Paper Trail Copilot!
This was an awesome weekend! Maybe one day the Paper Camper Trail will make a U Turn somewhere! and visit us again! — at Everything Scrapbook & Stamps.
OH MY!!! Who wants that most ADORABLE t-shirt ever??? We all do!!! How about an apron or a cool tote to carry our Paper Trail dies , Eileen Hull?
Michelle McCosh, do you think Charo Muñoz was trying to teach Eileen Hull to dance? the dance of the 7 ribbons???

Fun with Oly*fun… love this ladybug effect!
Eileen Hull ‘s Paper trail Camper Stove….my type of oven! Paper storage! LOL
More Oly*fun going on the Sizzix Recipe Card Box. Have you heard the good news? They will be shipping in November instead of December! Now you can get the Vintage Kitchen dies in time to use them for holiday packaging and gifts!
Robert gave me a tip about the leaking in the camper and possible solution.
Great to see designer friend Susan Brown at class too!
Many MANY thanks to Cheryl Boglioli- I could not have done this class without her help… I owe her big-time!
OK, that’s all for now- more coming soon! Thanks for following the Paper Trail 🙂
Charo Muñoz says
It was great to meet you and Cheryl, I own several Sixxiz (never too many) dies and already one of your designa, During the first 20 ninutes of our first class I learned so much about different ways to use them, and I kept on learning the rest of the time spent at . Thank you for that, and for sharing so many tips with us, we sure were lucky that the Paper Trail of Fun visited us, Make a U turn (-as Cassia suggested) any time, we will be there waiting for you, best of luck and happy trails
Thank you to all your sponsors and specially to Michele for bringing the Paper Trail to us!
P.D. Sorry that I missed you, Susan Brown!
Charo Muñoz says
Sorry for a couple of typos, I meant — time spent at ESS with you.
And there is no such thing as “ninutes” unless we are in another Universe, it is “minutes”
I know, maybe I should sleep more and post less.
Thank you!

Charo, I really enjoyed meeting you- you are very talented and a lot of fun to have in class. I want to change my name now to Charo! I hope that I will get back down this way again. If I do, I will definitely be in to check up on you girls and see what mischief Michelle has going on 🙂 Thanks for supporting the Paper Trail and please keep following!
Belinda Basson says
Wow, you are having a ball! Hope you get the water leak sorted. Nothing more stressful than driving in rain and wondering what is getting damaged.
eileen says
Very true Belinda! Luckily everything is packed in plastic so have not lost any supplies yet… Thanks for following 🙂
cassia Holanda says
We are still talking about your visit to ESS , in Lake Worth . And just loving that this was your first stop! I m so glad we “entertained” you so much! 🙂 We loved your workshop, the great new dies and the infinite tips you shared!
It is pouring in Florida. SO, I am hope the camper dried and not sure when you leave again!
Safe travels! Tux Zito , my cat, says hello and wants to know how he gets use of your dies! LOL
eileen says
Cassia, we will give Tux Zito his own class next time and you can take pics OK? Thanks so much for the use of your pics and the great commentary of our visit. I really had fun!
cassia Holanda says
Are you back on the road again? Robert and I were wandering about you and the camper in this big rain storms we have been having in Florida! I hope your camper fully dries before you hit the road again!
Claudine Criner says
Sounds like a fabulous time you had!! I love all the fun and photos! Maybe you can use E6000 to fix that leak in the camper 🙂
eileen says
Good thought Claudine! Actually my amazing SIL put a coat of rubber roofing on so I am crossing my fingers that works!

Great day today with Eileen at A Small Cleverness in Orange Park today. Great class and great instructor! I left with a cute new art journal. Hope to see you back in Florida again and have a great trip around the country in that adorable trailer. Cheryl D
