Call me soon....spots are going quickly!

Classes.....New Date!!!!

Ok, so my work weekends have changed, and thus I must change the date of the first class! No biggie!!!! Sept 20th!!! New date! Same time! I am trying to get it held at a local church here in Newport. As soon as I hear from Rev Dave, I will post it here!

Classes Classes and more Classes!

So, as i talk to more and more of my customers, you are telling me that you don't have time to use your SU! stuff, or you would like to use it, but are in need of some inspiration!! You have the catalog in your hand, you go on the website, but you just never seem to get around to using it. The biggest complaint I hear is " I just don't have enough time!"



Did you know that when I admit a patient into the hospital, I have to ask a very good question..."What do you do to relieve stress?" I ALWAYS get the same look....
that look of "I don't know..."
Stress is a big part of getting ill, you may say that you have too much to do, but, if you don't take time out for you....i may be seeing you in a hospital bed with some sort of illness due to the fact that your immune system is so shot, that you can't fight off the simple common cold!



PHEW!


With that being said....I would like to offer classes...classes for all. Simple classes to advanced classes! These will be offered once a month for 10-12 months. Will include written directions so that you can not only take home the project that night, but be able to go home and duplicate what we made that night! These classes will be anything from techniques, using new toys, new products, etc! We have so much out there right now, that this would be an awesome way for you all to learn how to use it! (and me too! )



Cost per class is $15 and will include all that i mentioned. The only thing you will need to bring is adhesive, scissors and other tools you would like to use! Now, I would like to see at least 10 people commit to this...that way, each month we will have a $150 party! I will draw names to be the hostess each month. This means everyone will get a chance to get some freebies! What is the money going towards? The products for the next month's class. The hostess will get the free stuff! How cool is that? I will need each of you to commit to the 10 months. I know, I said 10-12 months earlier. 1 month will be the xmas card class, and I will leave that up to you if you would like to join us that month. (Tentative cost for that will be $45, and I don't want to hold you to that right yet. There will be seperate cost and contract for that. ) The other month, I don't know yet.....lol! I'll think of something! You all know me....fly by the seat of my pants!



Soooo....what do you say? I have the Holiday mini in my hands, and there is so much in there, i can't wait to show you!!! I will have the contracts at the first class, you will need to sign them at that time. As for the cost, you may pay me that day. However, I will have to insist on this...even if you cannot attend for some reason, payment will still be due. I will allow you take the directions and the supplies for the class. You just won't have me to help you is all. Why this? Because I will have everything cut and ready to go. No shows cost money, and it's really not fair to me. Sorry. Please send me an email, or call me no later than Sept 16th, for the first class that will be held on Sept 27th - Sunday at 11 am. Snacks provided, and of course lots of fun, fun, FUN!!!



Come on, you know you need a stress reliever....stamping is a calming, fun craft! Lots of laughter equals lots of goodness to your health!!!

Correction to the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

There is an error on the insert for the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions embossing folder (item 114517). The insert instructs you to use Tab 2 on the multipurpose platform with this folder. This is incorrect. You need to use Tab 1 on the multipurpose platform with this folder. If you use Tab 2, your sandwich will be too thick to run through the Big Shot.
Please note that there is nothing wrong with the product itself; the error is on the insert only. The embossing folder will work properly when you use it with Tab 1.
We remind you that you don't need to use much pressure with Big Shot dies. When you insert a die into the Big Shot, the handle should turn slightly. If the handle doesn't move, or if you have to force the die through, your sandwich is too thick and you'll need to adjust it. Forcing a die through the Big Shot with too much pressure can damage your die or Big Shot and void your manufacturer's warranty.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi all! No, i haven't fallen off the face of the planet! I have had car trouble, and i sadly had to put the ole girl to rest. :( sniff.....she got through a lot in the last 5 years.

But, happily i found my new love, my suv!!!!

Meet Samantha...my 2006 Trailblazer!!!! Ain't she purty???

And look what I gave her today.....

The 2 white flowers are the Hostess Finesse flowers that are about to retire out of the Decor Elements brochure!!!! They were so simple to put on, took me all of 2 minutes to put them both on! I have polled all the wonderful demos out there living in harsh climates like I do, and they say these little beauties hold up to so much! Snow, sleet, rain, sun, etc!!!!! I am so glad that I held onto these! I almost put them on my old car! That's the only problem, is they are a one use deal. But, they are gorgeous, aren't they?

They are adorable, and really love to stamp! Got my heart!!!! lol! Anyway, on the way out, mom suggested that I plan a kids workshop! I think that is great! So, heads up....i'm thinking of doing a kids stamp camp! Mom's would have to be there to help their little ones...I really don't suggest dropping off the child. That would not be good for me to try and watch them all! lol!

So, i'll be thinking of a date and projects....I have Laura asking for the space to do it....you all think of all your friends that have children and tell them about this!

I will update later!

For a great deal that's ending this month, click the title above! You won't be sorry!!

Stampin' Up! is hit by the economy.

I love this company. And they have been hit by the economy just all of us. Yesterday, Shelli and her staff were forced to lay off some staff, as they could not afford to keep them on during this trying time. A couple names that I recognize from attending Leadership and a Regional, are Linda Hansen and Jaron Winder. These 2 people are some talented, funny, wonderful, kind hearted people. Just by smiling, they have a way of lighting up the world. I would like to offer my prayers and have them know they are in my thoughts as they are spending time with family and attempting to deal with this tragedy.

I have included links to their blogs under "Oh the blogs I've seen...". Please go check them out and take a minute to read there posts. We could all learn a lot from these people. They are not bitter, as I need to learn how not to be.

When life hands us lemons.....have a party, get tequila and make margeritas!

Best wishes to all the friends at Stampin' Up!

Diva Coffee Break Challenge!

This is my first ever Diva challenge! What do you think?
