National Scrapbooking Month!

NOW is the time to join Stampin' Up!

With Stampin' Up!'s own digital scrapbooking software slated to come out in 2009, scrapbookers have a lot to look forward to. Not only that, but this product will generate lots of excitement, and if you become a demonstrator now, you can enjoy it with all of your fellow demonstrators and future customers!

As a demonstrator, scrapbookers have access to an endless supply of ideas. Creativity will flourish with so many additional sources of inspiration, such as Stampin' Success, Stampers' Showcase, Technique Videos, Stampin' Up! events, and more.

When you join Stampin' Up!, you can enjoy the benefit of purchasing all your scrapbooking supplies at a 20 percent discount!

Scrapbooking is so much more fun when you do it with others. As a demonstrator, you will make new friends, develop lifelong friendships, and enjoy the pleasure of sharing the art of stamping with customers and hostesses.

May Specials!

Wow, wow, and double wow!!! To celebrate the National Scrapbooking Month of May, Stampin' Up! has announced three awesome specials! The best, in my opinion, is a sign up special designed especially for scrapbookers...$75!!! You can make that back in one workshop! This is for the month of May only, so don't wait around and miss this awesome deal! The other two specials are: 20% off a sneak peak Alphabet set that will be in the next Idea Book & Catalog, and buy three packages of 12 x 12 designer paper and receive one free!

Visit my web store for more info...details may not be listed until Friday.

Long time...

Wow, it has been a very long time since I posted anything to this blog! April is a tough month for me; most of you know that my only sister passed away last April following a very fast acting cancer. She was only 50. This month I found out that both my mom and dad have cancer, so my mind has been elsewhere.

However, I had some good friends nudge me into having a card class...just what I need to get me going again. ;) Thanks Sue & Melissa! So, if you are available Friday evening May 1st around six, or Saturday afternoon around one, stop by and make some quick cards. There will be no pre-registration, you can come whenever...just not after nine Friday night. Class fee will be $15, pay at the door. We will make six cards and envelopes...two each of three designs. You can choose your own greeting, so if you need birthday cards you can stock up this weekend. :) Need more than six cards? Double the fee, come both times, whatever works for you.

I will have iced tea available, but if you would like to bring a snack to share that would be awesome. Some of the designs will be repeats of favorite cards from the past, and I may even use a retired stamp set or two. It's hard to leave some of those favorite stamp sets on the shelf! :)

Also, my friend Sue is sponsoring a "Gift a Day in May" to raise money for the Holzer Clinic Relay for Life Team. If you would like to participate in that event let me know and I will forward the gift chart to you.

Hello Spring!

Spring has sprung here in Oak Hill! I am so happy for the new beginnings that each and every spring brings...I love seeing all the flowers blooming and hearing the spring peepers at night...

If you can, stop by the Tea Caddy of Jackson Saturday April 4th sometime between 11 AM & 4 PM to see what is new with Stampin' Up! and to make a couple of cute make-n-takes! There is a lot coming your way soon, so don't miss out!

See you soon!

PS. Need to earn some extra cash in this down economy? Now is the time to start a new business that can put money in your pocket for just a few hours a month! And, Stampin' Up! is offering a three month payment plan on the starter kit!!! Ask me for more details! I have been a demonstrator for over 5 years and have just had a blast and I'm making money to boot!!!

This price is based on 5 participants. As soon as I receive payment for all five participants, the order will be placed. I will cut and divide ribbon equally.

Please note: All stated lengths are approximate. Sometimes spool length from Stampin’ Up! Is a few inches longer or shorter, this is how they keep the price so low for such quality ribbon. Also, there may be a splice in the ribbon directly from the manufacture, this is not a defect. This ribbon is intended for craft purposes only.
