club heidi
This is why I am getting the LOOKS from people! “that is a crazy lady” is what it looks like! And, in truth, not far off! It’s hard to believe it’s the middle of june, time is FLYING by which is a good and bad thing! this weekend is our Creative Escape PREVIEW day! what that means is that all the individuals that will be serving as volunteers at the actual event, will be coming… as well as all the teachers… and we’ll be presenting all the classes… kind of like a dry run I guess. Last year it was so helpful to make sure there were no glitches with the kits, power points, instructions and overall flow of the classes… as a teacher, it’s so awesome to have the chance to run through it once (like a dress rehearsal) to a very forgiving audience. Everyone in attendance will be signing a ‘non-disclosure’ and ‘confidentiality agreement’ so that we don’t have any leaks about what the projects are… you know how I feel about them being a secret. I love that. everything is looking good and I am excited to see how things play out! I have been in the thick of photographing all the projects in detail, and they are so fun, so different and well done. it’s so FUN! And exciting to see things coming together beautifully! We just are finalizing the t-shirt design and exclusive paper designs… still lots to do!
I have been working on another fun project… I am not ready to share all the little details yet, but since we had such a great response to the little kits we threw together a couple months ago…we thought it would b fun to create a MONTHLY kit… we are in the midst of designing a support site for it… where you can see the kit, and ideas, tips and techniques that use the included product as well as purchase it! i will be providing more details as well as a photo of the july kit that will be available for purchase on July 1. Each month there will be a limited number of kits available, and when they are gone, they’re gone… (the kits are so cute…) should be ready to unveil sometime next week!
i just spilled about a gallon of water all over my desk… that’s it… i guess i am only allowed to have sippy cups from now on. sheesh.

Barb
13 June, 2007 at 11:23 amCan’t wait for more details on Club Heidi. I am definitely signing up for Creative Escapes next year – had a conflict with a vacation already planned for this year (bummer). You don’t look like a crazy lady – just a woman who loves her family and by the way cute as a button doing it! Have a great dry run today! Love, love, love you and your products!

13 June, 2007 at 11:41 amI get the whole looks thing… my girls are 16 months apart and I got all of the looks and comments. You look great! I can wait to see your new addition, Capri is growing up so quick and she is such a cutie!!
I can’t wait for the monthly kits!
I am sure they will be fantastic… just like all of your other fun goodies!

you and capri look perfectly cute in this picture…if only she knew what is about to happen in a few short weeks!!!
:o)
Sandy Gargano
13 June, 2007 at 12:02 pmSo happy about the kit!
Since CKU Albums (CT)I was hoping you would do something ALL HEIDI.
I cannot afford to fly out for the Creative Escapes- although I would adore it!
So this is sort of like the next best thing.
Be well- you look great even that preggers!
hugs,

13 June, 2007 at 12:28 pmbeautiful picture of you and capri! excited to hear & see more about the kits!!!
Camille
13 June, 2007 at 12:36 pmYou are amazing. I just have to say that. Encouragement isn’t encouragement, unless spoken right? I’m in awe at how you can have the family you do, be in the state you’re in (you look GREAT BTW), and have all these new and fabulous things in the works. How do you do it? Thanks thanks thanks from your adoring fans! Can’t wait to see the goodies (baby and scrapping). 🙂
Jolene George
13 June, 2007 at 12:50 pmWell I think you look adorable! Let the people stare. :o) I can’t wait to see the new Heidi Club kits. Do you plan to only do one page kits or will you be doing and 2 page layouts?
Jessica Woodford
13 June, 2007 at 12:54 pmHeidi….
Looking forward to seeing the Club Heidi kits…I just hope I get one in time! 🙂 And let the people stare, they’re probably jealous about how gorgeous you are and the adorable kids you have! Still now sure how you manage it all…you’re always amazing me! Take care!
Vee
13 June, 2007 at 12:59 pmyou both look so adorable!!
i can’t wait to see more about the kit 🙂
vanessa
13 June, 2007 at 1:16 pmI can’t WAIT to see these, your product seriously ends up on everything I do..in some way or another!
LenaS
13 June, 2007 at 1:17 pmDon’t you love having that baby shelf? It makes carrying the other one around a little easier–I think that extra kid weight on top helps make labor/delivery easier…at least that’s how it worked out for me. Beautiful picture. Sure wish I could be there to support the teachers at CE. I stayed here specifically to be available as a CEvolunteer. Last year you said you wanted to keep CE Local–wondering why you R flying others in when you have good help right here?

13 June, 2007 at 1:18 pmaaahhhh!
so excited about creative escape AND the kits. yay!!!
Roni S
13 June, 2007 at 1:30 pmI can’t wait to see these kits! You guys look so precious! love it
Michelle*G
13 June, 2007 at 1:43 pmYou are glowing! And Capri is just too cute! I wish I could get to the Escape…but maybe next year.
Can’t wait for more news on the club – this is going to be wonderful! 🙂
Giddy
13 June, 2007 at 1:58 pmOh Beautiful Heidi! Love that you are blessed. You need not worry about what people are thinking. Look at that belly…. How cute you look w/ that precious Capri. I have a 16mo old Madigan Claire she’s our million dollar baby and boy do I wish I could have another one.
We live on the East coast will you ever be bringing the classes this way? (saving for the next million dollar baby) 🙂
I am excited to hear about the kits….just means
****I’ll have to be quick w/ an order July 1st.****

13 June, 2007 at 2:32 pmMy daughter Isla has the same outfit…Gymboree, right? Hard to find nice clothes for baby, I scour the web….
Dondi Murdock
13 June, 2007 at 2:52 pmOf course you are crazy! To have two babies at one time; that is absolutely nuts. The big important point, however, is that you aren’t dangerous. You are a loving mother married to a loving husband who is a loving father. You have happy children. That is viewed by nuts by many people in the world. But dangerous, never! You won’t have one single second to be bored so you can cross that worry off your list. What a great life your new son will have!
Ksea
13 June, 2007 at 3:22 pmYou look great, Heidi. And I am excited with the kits coming our way. Although I won’t be doing much scrapbooking in the near future with a new job and moving about a week away. I won’t have much space to do anything! LOL!!
Karalynn
13 June, 2007 at 3:27 pmI know those looks well nowdays. Got a few today as I was out with my 10 month old being 6 months pregnant. You look fabulous though! The toughest part of the whole being pregnant with a little one is the lifting thing- When Anna wants me to pick her up and hold her it gets to be a bit much. I can do it once in a while, but it’s like she can tell she’s going to have a baby brother soon and so she wants all I have to give right now.
As for your monthly kit club, well that is super exciting! Can’t wait to see what you come up with! So fun!
Renee
13 June, 2007 at 3:57 pmI have two set of “Irish Twins” that are 12 months apart. I alway figured people felt sorry for me not losing my baby weight!
kelly s
13 June, 2007 at 4:02 pmOooh Club Heidi!
I am so excited, we live in Germany and it is so hard to find scrapbooking supplies, can’t wait to see what you have planned!
Kelly Jo
13 June, 2007 at 4:06 pmHeidi, You look Beautiful!
Can’t wait to see your kits! I’m sure they will be awesome.
Caroline

13 June, 2007 at 4:35 pmHow exciting!! Wohoo!
Brynn
13 June, 2007 at 5:17 pmI’m excited about the new kits and accompanying website but I really would hope that you would finish the heidiswapp.com site first. It seems like 90% of the pages are “coming soon!” What’s up with that?

13 June, 2007 at 5:19 pmYou look great Heidi!
Can’t wait to see the kits.
Capri is so cute and looks like a very happy little girl.
Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and your family.
Suzi
13 June, 2007 at 5:48 pmThrilled to hear about a kit club. I’m really enjoying the Look Book and all of the products that I can find. Looking forward to more 🙂
I agree with all of the other comments, you really do look great. Your children are so lucky to have each other and such great parents.
Also, we replicated your art tray. My 5 year old has enjoyed it intermittenly, but I enjoy sitting down with it EVERY time. 🙂
Good Luck with everything in the next few weeks! All the best to you!!

13 June, 2007 at 6:43 pmMy kids used sippy cups until they were teenagers! (Well maybe not THAT long! LOL). Those of us lucky enough to be registered for CE would love to be flies on the wall this weekend! It is actually more fun to be surprised, and it is exciting that you are so excited about it! It is infectious. Your Club Heidi sounds fun! Can’t wait to see what y’all have cooked up!
Kyra
13 June, 2007 at 7:13 pmYou are so adorable… Capri is just a little Princess, (I think she looks exactly like your husband..)I am so interested in hearing about your new kit, and names for the little man.
Jaymie
13 June, 2007 at 7:22 pmlove the “Club Heidi” idea – can’t wait to see more!
angie
13 June, 2007 at 7:48 pmcan’t wait for club heidi…some of your stuff is hard to get. My babes were 14 months apart…sleep as much as you can now! lol:) Actually, I love that are so close with each other as a result @ 6 & 7 years old. They know that they always have each other, like twins. Congratulations!
Nora
13 June, 2007 at 9:37 pmheidi , you look beautiful!! I had 7 kids, yes 7, in 8 1/2 years…Hard to believe. But it was wonderful and i wouldn’t change it for the world. People looked at me funny and said some pretty things to me over the years, but it has been worth it all. It dose go by so fast, i wish i would have listened when people told me that. My kids are now…Andrew 23, Gabriel 22, Alexander 20, Nicholas 19, Jacob 18, Miranda 16 and Adalaine 15…..where did the time go…good luck, enjoy it all.
diane mcvey
13 June, 2007 at 10:18 pmOh, you and Capri look so beautiful…it’s such a joy to see a pregnant Mommy, and her other little ones! You will have so much fun with the new little guy, and I wish you the best delivery ever!! Take care, and blessings to you and yours always!!!
Annie Adams
13 June, 2007 at 10:30 pmYou look so cute and so does Capri!! It brings back vague memories for me (I have 2 11 months apart as well)…it is so special, enjoy the last moments! Good luck with your run thru, I wish I was a volunteer class taker!

14 June, 2007 at 6:03 amLet ’em look, Heidi – the only thing you should be worrying about is if there’s enough chocolate chips in the pantry 🙂

14 June, 2007 at 10:20 ami have never seen another woman in my life that could wear such pretty stripes on such a sweet preggo belly & look absolutely AMAZING!!! preg wasn’t cute back in my day!! LOL
i wish you could have seen the thread on SIStv about you…(or maybe you did)…but you should be proud (in the humble way that you are) of the contribution you have made to this industry…you are loved!!!
Jennifer Maass
14 June, 2007 at 11:41 amYou look great!!!
Can’t wait to see more of Club Heidi! 🙂
Karen C
14 June, 2007 at 11:57 amOh, the kits sound fun! Hopefully we can order a subscription? It’s so nerve-wracking waiting for an open registration! You look adorable and Capri is so cute! Can’t wait until CE!
AZAnjanette
14 June, 2007 at 12:02 pmok Miss Heidi-you spill more water than any scrapbooking gal I know. You seriously gotta start using that tank of a water jug that they give you when you go home from the hospital. If you don’t have one, you need to go to Target and get one! By the time you fill up that tank with ice and whatever beverage you’re drinking, it’s too heavy to tip over! LOL
Can’t wait for your kit. Sight unseen, I already know I’ll probably be buying it because I just love your stuff!
marion
14 June, 2007 at 4:36 pmCan’t wait for your kit! Will there be a membership or will we have to try every month to get it? I loved your last one! Also will we be able to buy your Creative Escape Book (like last year) if we aren’t able to make it to AZ for all of the fun?
susan m
14 June, 2007 at 9:43 pmLove this photo of you and capri and baby to be!
Club Heidi wow this will be so cool aytr for sure
hugs
heidi larsen
15 June, 2007 at 2:43 pmyou are one darling pregnant woman! you really look great! little capri is a doll. i don’t know how you do it all.
Cheryl
16 June, 2007 at 1:35 amNah nothing crazy bout that photo! NOTHING at all!
Mind I kinda did the same thing with only 14 months between my two. I swear that was the only reason number 1 learned to walk so dang early, mama couldn’t and wouldn’t carry her anymore so it was either walk or go in the pushchair which at that stage she hated with a vengence. So walk she did!
Good luck with the dry run for the Escape and for bubs arrival.
Kelly B
16 June, 2007 at 3:39 amSuch a cute photo of you and Capri! I am so excited about the kits. Will we be able to purchase them in AUSTRALIA?

Good luck with your new arrival!

17 June, 2007 at 10:14 pmHeidi, you are looking awesome and Capri is just adorable. Can’t wait to hear about #5!
Julie
18 June, 2007 at 2:48 pmAlso hoping that you will post to the UK as I’m really looking forward to signing up for a kit.
You are amazing juggling children, being pregnant and a manic job you are truly an inspiration.
I still get the “looks” and the questions as I have a 3, 2 & 1yr old, very crazy in my household but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Heidi
26 June, 2007 at 8:16 amCan’t wait for more details on Club Heidi!!! (Hope you will ship to Norway!!!)
You look awesome and Capri is just adorable.
Good luck
