UPDATE

Hello fellow stampers. I don't have any pictures to post this morning but wanted to post an update. We have moved to Choctaw,OK and are getting settled in. My stamping supplies are kind of scattered at the moment but I will work on that today. I am having major stamping withdraws. I plan to work on the Make-N-Takes we got at Leadership today so I can post some pics very soon.

I am also getting ready to do a fund raiser for Project Linus. If you aren't familiar with this organization they provide blankets to any child that is going through any kind of trauma. They provide blankets to hospitals, shelters and children of military families. I will be making a set of 12 all occasion greeting cards and envelopes. You will get 2 cards of each 6 designs. The cost is $25, with $20 going to Project Linus and $5 to cover the cost of the supplies. If you would like a set please send 2 checks, one to Project Linus and one to Julia Gass to 2463 Orchard Rd, Choctaw, OK 73020 with your name, address and phone number on a separate sheet of paper so that I can contact you when your set is complete. When I get the cards made I will post some pics. The sets will not be the same so your set may not look like the ones I post. I hope you will all help with this fund raiser. These women are wonderful and they are about out of money, which they use for labels on the blankets and postage to send them where ever they are needed.

LEADERSHIP NEWS

There I am with my friend and co-demo Shelia, on stage, getting recongnized for our promotion to Sr Supervior. This was my first Leadership and I hope the first of many. I have so much to share with you about Stampin Up and Leadership. So stay with me, this may be a long post. We are moving this week so I am thinking I better post lots today because I will be too busy later.

What a goofy look on my face. I just won the PRIZE PATROL gift, which is a new product that will be available in March. I was shocked and so excited. I know you are dying to know what is in that box, aren't you? Well here it is. Get ready. Wait for it. OMG!!

It is an accessory to the Simply Scored. This is a plate you lay on the Simply Scored. It has diagonal score lines to make envelopes!!!!! Can you believe it? I also got a sylist and markers. They demonstrated how to make the envelopes and boxes and other things with this. It is amazing!! Remember this isn't available until March so get it on that wish list ladies. I will make some things and get them posted next week after the move. I was the envy of everyone in my group. It will be great to be able to do a product focus on this at our downline meeting. Okay now for some more exciting stuff. FREEBIES!! You know you love them. Sit down cause you won't believe this.

This stuff covered the entire width of the bed. This doesn't include the Make and Takes.

OMG, I know, I know. These are the Make and Take projects. Again it covers the entire width of the bed and about half the length. It is just wonderful all the things Stampin Up does for us as demonstrators. If you have ever thought of starting a home business you should consider Stampin Up. This company is a pleasure to work with, yes "work with" and not for. They have a fabulous special going on during Sale-A-Bration. You can join for only $125, which gets you $350 worth of merchandise and business supplies. And for a bonus you get a FREE package of designer series paper or a FREE download for My Digital Studio for the rest of the year. That is another $100 + of FREE merchandise. The very best part of this though is that you will be joining a company that lets you do things your way. In fact their theme for this year is "My Way". Stampin Up encourages you to run your business Your Way. If you want to be a hobby demonstrator or you want to have a thriving business it is up to you. And when you decide to change the direction of your business they are there for you then too. Whether that is to kick it up or to turn it down.

This is Shelli Gardner, owner, and her daughter Sarah. You couldn't ask for two more sencere lovely people. They care about everyone and their business. They are at every event and accessible to talk with and they really listen to what you have to say. Their families are usually there also. All the executives are there and standing in the hall to talk to you when you come by. It is so cool that they are so interested and involved with all of us. They really understand that we drive this business they love and they truely want to take care of us and provide us with the tools and services we need to succeed. I have been a part of a lot of other companies in this industry but none can touch Stampin Up. So give it some thought and if you would like to talk about it or if you have questions please contact me and lets have some tea or coffee and visit.

I think I better sign off for now but I have sooooooo much more for you. I will post tomorrow morning.





November Club Projects

Okay, so I didn't listen to myself. The time gets away from me and so anyway here is our club projects. We had a great time and missed everyone that didn't get to come.

These bows are so darn easy and fast. Doesn't it look like a store bought bow? All you need to do is cut 3 3/4" X 9" stripes, 3 3/4" X 8", 3 3/4" X 7" and then 1 3/4" X 3" then fold and twist each end of the stripes to the center and stick down then stack all of them on top of each other. Use the 3" strip for the center. Just tape it in a circle and stick it in the middle of the ribbon. You are done. Easy peasy.

I love this card. So elegant and easy to make.

This is a hybrid card. I printed the lodge from My Digital Studio and stamped the rest.
