Hi there blog friends, did I tell you how stinkin’ excited I am to be going to Akron, Ohio? Yup . . . this chick is getting out of the house – they’re just gonna have to do without me around here! I haven’t been to a stamp show in I can’t tell you how long and I for one am ecstatic that this is going to change!! I’ll never forget my first ventures to far away cities, to show floors filled with things I just love – the inspiration and thrill of being in a convention center surrounded by people who love crafts is an exhilirating feeling that lasts for a long time and is such a confirmation of why I love this craft. If you haven’t been to one of these shows, you don’t know what you’re missing. In the past I wasn’t able to go often, but when I did, it was a 6 hour drive east, north or west . . . worth every minute in the car, I might add. So . . . Adventures in Stamping . . . here I come, oh and I’m bringing a little friend of mine – Becca’s Peg Bow Maker. If you’ve not seen one and want to know what it does – have a look HERE. Hey and if you’re at the show and you buy one of these, your name will go in the pot for a raffle for a $25.00 gift certificate for two winners each day. As long as your name, address and phone number are on the back of your ticket, you don’t have to be present at winning time.
What, When, How, Where and Why
So will you come? I never get out, so I’m hoping to meet so many of you – it would be an absolute thrill for me. Adventures in Stamping is in Akron, Ohio over the dates of April 28 – Aprill 29, 2012 at the John S. Knight Center and you can get more information at their website http://www.adventuresinstamping.info I’m especially interested in hearing your feedback, so I hope you’ll stop by the Our Daily Bread Designs booth so that I can meet you!!

Hi Becca: In case my other comment didn’t go through, I will comment here. I couldn’t believe it when I opened my e-mail and my name was drawn for Becca’s Peg Bow Maker. I am so excited. Thank you so much. Hopefully I will be able to make pretty bows now. I would love to come to the Akron show, but I am a snowbird from MI, and I am still in FL. I know you will have fun working with Kelley, Rick and Josh. I love them. I will get to see them in Novi, MI in August. They are “super” people. Have a fun time.

Congratulations, Margie!
Have fun Becca and sell lots of your awesome bow makers!
I’m very happy for you, Margie! You’re going to love Becca’s Bow Maker. I got mine from ODBD a few weeks ago and I use it for all my bows now. It’s easy too. Just follow the instructions.
Enjoy the rest of the show, Becca. It was a nice surprise to hear from you.
Becca,
I had my husband make the bow maker when you had the instructions online on how you made one yourself. I did see your you tube video but I understand on you DVD that comes with the bow maker you show 6 types of bows.
I wish I could just purchase your DVD with the different bow making instructions. Do you know if in the further they might consider doing that.
I would love to have one.
Your website is the first I visit every morning with my cup of coffee in hand, you have been such a blessing to me, I believe God directed me to your website so that you could lead me to Our Daily Bread designs so that I can pass on his words to others with making cards using their stamps.
I have already purchased my tickets for the scrapbook convention in IL in June for the sole purpose of visiting their booth, I contacted Josh to make sure they were still going to be there, I am excited to meet them all.
Have a wonderful time at the stamp show.
Cheryl

I am so close and yet so far. I really wanted to meet you in Akron as I think you are the best…Christian living being first and the sharing of your God- given blessed talent. May you have a great experience at one of the largest conventions. I have your great bow maker and wish you all the blessings that can be in sales.
I pray for travel mercies as you return to your home and all of us, your faithful fans.

Have great fun Margie! Super tickled to see someone new getting such a great tool! You will really love it I am sure! All the best!
Congratulations, Lauren! Bless you for making your mother so proud. I applaud you for standing up for yourself in an age when it seems our rights are eroding daily. We need strong women like you!
Huge CONGRATULATIONS, Margie — sure was hoping Becca got that first name spelled wrong (as well as really messed up my last name in the process), but I’m still happy that a ‘Margie’ won — LOL!!! Enjoy your bow maker!!!
Dear Lauren,
First, I would like to congratulate you on this most amazing accomplishment. It is obvious that you have reallly worked hard to achieve two degrees back to back. I know your mom is beaming!
Second, I would just like to say that you have given me hope for the future! At a time when so many young adults are caught up in dangerous and selfish pursuits, you kept your focus and achieved your goals.
I am certain that our Lord is proud of you and your parents…after all, they did an amzaing job training you in the way you should go. I know there are many blessings ahead for you and your family. Congratulations again, Ellie Werner
Well done Margie, I wish you many happy hours playing withthe bow maker.

OMGosh…. I would die to have your talent in making these beautiful cards…. Thank you so much for sharing… I look forward to your site just to see the new cards you made then I wish and pray that maybe someday I will make a beautiful card like yours.
God Bless and Thank you!!
