We Are Winners!

I wish I could report that we became millionaires while we were in Louisiana, but that is not the case. However, the whole trip was paid for because it was technically a business trip for Marty so it was like a free mini-vacation. I just waited in the car and read a book while Marty did his sales calles in Tyler and Longview. And then we drove on to Shreveport where he had a couple more calls the next morning. We stayed at the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel which is the nicest hotel in Shreveport. The room was great and so was the buffet. This is a picture of Marty and me standing by the "Million Dollar Wall." It is a 100 ft. long, 11 ft. high display of 10,000 brand-new $100 dollar bills. Pretty impressive.
Although we didn't manage to win a million, I think we walked away with about $50 bucks. I know, I know ... we are rich now! LOL! The most interesting part of the casino adventure was that while I was losing at the blackjack table, Marty was at the slots finding money. And I mean that in the literal sense. He was walking around to find a new machine when he heard one beeping. He looked and it had a payout slip sticking out of it. No one was around so he grabbed the slip and it was worth $86! Finders, keepers! LOL! Besides ... I had already made my donation at the tables.
Well, enough rambling. I just wanted to post this picture of me and Marty. A fun time was had by the Englands. I'll check in again soon. I'm currently working on a kit called Pink, Purple, Lime. I know ... sounds hideous! ROFL! But I like it!! Here's a layout of Lauren that I made with the kit. Hopefully I will have it in the shoppe in the next day or so.

Be on the lookout for another sale at Scrap Artist on the 24th and 25th. I'll give you all the details tomorrow when I know more.
