Leadership in Orlando

Here are just a few more photos from Leadership.

Manager's Reception

Waiting to board the bus to go to Hollywood Studio for Manager's Reception. Stampin' Up employee and a former coach of mine is Ann Maxwell on the left. I was so impressed that she even remembered my name when I saw her because it's been a few years since she was my coach (via phone and email) and I have only physically seen and talked to her a couple of times. Also pictured are fellow demonstrators Sandy Mitchell, Catherine Harwood, and Barbara Lash. Manager's Reception is a special event for demosntrators who have reached the title of Manager or higher.  We had the park after hours to just our Stampin' Up group with a special showing of Fantasmic. Tower of Terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster were also open for us. I don't do those fast rides but rumors were heard that some people rode them up to 12 times. There were other fun things going on including several of the Disney characters available for photos and a yummy dessert bar.

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Have you ever said you loved someone more than chocolate?  That's a whole lot of love. Stampin' Up's newest stamp set says it for you.  It's called Lovely Amazing You, is photopolymer, and is just $14.95.

Lovely Amazing You

And here are the newest Weekly Deals – good through Monday.

Week Deals

As many of you know I attended Stampin' Up's Leadership event a couple of weeks ago in Orlando. It was fun and filled with so many new ideas. This year two of my downline, Carol Hall and Mike White, went for the first time. Mike also brought his wife, Cheryl who signed up as a co-demonstrator with him. Mike was one of just a very few men at the event.

This is the really cute bag we received. This photo is not very good but you get the idea. It's a nice canvas bag with striped turquoise and white lining. I can see taking it to Disney or on trips which would definitely be one of the best days ever.

I have a few more Leadership photos that I will share tomorrow.

If you live up North, stay warm and if you live around here enjoy our beautiful day. It's suppose to get cold this weekend but at least we aren't shoveling snow!

Lotus Blossom – It’s a FREE Stamp Set!

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Sale-a-Bration is one of the best times of the Stampin' Up year. That's because you can qualify for FREE product. Place an order of $50 or more (before shipping/tax) and you can pick something FREE from the Sale-a-Bration brochure. I love this set called Lotus Blossom.And it's been the most popular set selected so far from my customers.

Lotus Blossom

The flower is actually done with 3 stamps. Because they are photopolymer it is so easy to know where to position each one. I used Elegant Eggplant ink for the first stamp and Wisteria Wonder ink for the 2nd and 3rd stamps, stamping off the color on the 3rd one so it is a little lighter.   The embossing folder is a retired one as I wanted one with a vintage look to it and had not ordered the newest one yet. I sponged the inside of the embossing folder with Wisteria Wonder ink and embossed a piece of white card stock. A quick and easy card.

I will be in Orlando at Leadership and will try to post some pictures of the events over the next couple of days.

I wanted to also share a card that my friend, Betty Herring, created. I believe she cased a card she saw on Pinterest. I am so amazed at the cards people come up with using the stamps in this set. Would you see a snowman looking at these stamps?

Isn't this the cutest snowman! And Betty has a thing for snowmen. It was the perfect card to send out those Christmas thank you cards.

Some of you have recently told me you were no longer getting my blog updates by email and after doing some checking I realized that the mechanism for doing that had disappeared from my blog. It's way to complicated for me to know how to fix it so today I was able to get it worked on and it is fixed. You will need to subscribe again to my blog using the link in the upper right and you should then get emails whenever I post something.

Merry Christmas!

Written by on · 2 Comments

It is early Christmas morning and the house is quiet and all aglow with the tiny white lights of the tree and the mantle decorations. I love so much about Christmas and sitting in the quiet with the lights is just one of so many things. Because my daughter, a nurse, is working today we did our Christmas family get-together last night. We went to church first, then came home to dinner and presents. We decided to do soup and salad bar again after doing it at Thanksgiving and everyone liking it so much. My daughter, my son, and I each made a different kind of soup. We had quiche, the salad bar, and some assorted cheeses and crackers and breads. For dessert I made a fruit pizza.

My daughter, Lynn Ann, got engaged yesterday. We are all so excited for her and Don.

IMG_4886

I realized after looking at photos this morning I didn't really take many and didn't get a good one of Jason, my son, so will have to get some more pictures today. He gave Lynn Ann and I the same gift three different times and we had to do a bit of guessing to figure out what the gift really was. This is one of them which is a bit difficult to see that it is a bag of sugar and a large spoon. Then we each got an umbrella. Can you guess the gift?

A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down!

He is taking us to see the play Mary Poppins. 

Then the last gift we each had to open at the same time was a child's tube of lipstick with a Disney princess on it. That one took us a bit longer to realize. The princess was Belle. He is taking us to Orlando to see the play Beauty and the Beast. Very cleaver Jason. And what fun gifts. Anytime I am with my children is special. I also got this unusual gift from Lynn Ann and Don.

IMG_4908If it had not had a label with a picture I doubt I would have realized what it was for. Each end of the towel has a mitt so that you can insert both hands and use it to dry dishes.

And here is one of the many Christmas cards I made this year. I just loved the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and matching Framelits. I used the wreath to make Fall and Thanksgiving cards and I already am planning on some Spring wreaths.

Joy Card

And finally, here is an ornament I made. I was inspired by the one fellow demonstrator Laura Baxley made and only changed it a bit by adding the doily and silver tinsel to mine. There is some white chunky glitter inside along with some of the snowflakes from the Frosted Sequins pack in the Holiday Catalog. The stamp set is White Christmas.

Christmas SU OrnamentRemember that items from the Holiday catalog are only available through January 5th. If there is something you want you still have time to get it before they go away.

Merry Christmas to all. Have a Blessed day.
