Our Vegas travels continue, and the weather has changed so much since we first arrived. Temps today were in the low 80’s and no humidity which was awesome, BUT the weather coming in is going to change that whole humidity thing I’m thinking. Las Vegas is expecting 3-6 inches of rain from the hurricane barreling towards California. Now in the midwest, we could handle that much rain, right? But with Las Vegas simply built on rock, it isn’t going to absorb the rainfall. They are calling for flash floods of 3-6 FEET! We are hunkered down in our condo with everything we need so we will just see what the next 48 hours bring!
We decided with the cooler temperatures, we would go out for a scenic drive to Red Rock Canyon, as pictured above. Beautiful, isn’t it? But due to the chance of flash flooding heading our way the scenic drive through the canyon is CLOSED! We will be here long enough that we hope to get a chance to drive it – especially since Stampin’ Up’s Backstage Leadership Conference is at the Red Rock Resort and Spa about 5 miles from the park. We will just have to see what happens with the weather.
We drove as far as we possibly could and saw enough that we know we have to try again before heading home. The colors of the rock formations are not nearly as beautiful in the pictures as they were in person, so I can only imagine how vibrant and colorful they will be with some sun shining on them.
Today’s Kit – The Festive Tags Kit!!!!
Our kits have come SO VERY FAR from the beginning years of Paper Pumpkin!!! Several years ago when Paper Pumpkin was lagging Stampin’ Up brought in a gentleman who truly revived the whole Paper Pumpkin product line. Every month the kits got better, had more products, etc. Thankfully, this same gentleman – wish I could tell you his name! – is now over ALL of the kits including our ONLINE KIT COLLECTION and, again, our kits are better than ever! Stampin’ Up is rolling out new kits every 4-6 weeks, and right now ALL of our kits – cards and craft – are on sale through August 31!
The Festive Tags Kit creates 15 beautiful tags with NO STAMPING!!! Everything you need is included except for scissors. This kit is PERFECT for another group night – throw in the drinks, the snacks, the friends, – a perfect get-together!!! I have two groups meeting in September to assemble these tags, but we are pre-ordering NOW to take advantage of the savings! To check this kit out in my online store, click on the link below!

One Word Of Caution!
Usually Stampin’ Up sends AMPLE amounts of supplies – extra gems, extra labels if stamping is involved, extra adhesive and ribbon, string, etc – but this was ALL I HAD LEFT of the baker’s twine so be careful to measure or cut less because if not, you may be searching for some string to finish the tags!
Final Thoughts….
Pool Boy’s choice for dinner tonight – John Mull’s Road Kill Grill! No indoor seating – which, on a day like today was no problem! – but plenty of outside picnic tables in a covered pavilion. We stood in line for 45 minutes to place our order, but were served immediately ordering. EXCELLENT BBQ if you can just overlook the whole “Road Kill Grill” name!!! LOL. We were visiting with several couples who were in Vegas from Tampa Bay. Poor guys!!! They left Florida to get away from hurricanes this month, only to be here for the first hurricane on the Pacific side for decades!!!
Until tomorrow, I hope each of you have a great rest of the weekend, take time to do something that makes you happy, and God Bless!!!
