Yeah! I just have to say my DH is wonderful! As some of you may know, my step-daughter moved out a couple of months ago. I have been wanting to turn her room into a stamp room but we haven't had the time. Well - we went to Home Depot the other day and got all the materials for my DH to create my stamp room. I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted it but after tossing some ideas around we came up with a plan. My DH spent the last few evenings working on it and this is what is now my new stamp room:

Yeah!! I can't wait to organize it. We will be moving a large table and chairs in so now when I have workshops, classes and stamp camps, we will have a wonderful workspace to use!

So - if you have been putting off scheduling a workshop because you "don't have the room". Have no fear! Give me a call today and we can schedule one to hold at my home! =)

(More pics to come once it is organized!)

Sorry it has been a while! I was away on a Caribbean vacation aboard the Crown Princess! But I am back and ready to get back to stamping!!

There are a lot of new things coming your way. For one, the new Winter Mini catalog is available. Wait until you see the new stamp sets that Stampin' Up! has come out with! They are wonderful. There is a new product called Simply Sent which is a stamp kit that comes with all the materials needed to produce 10 cards (2 different designs). Please contact me for your copy of the Winter Mini today!

Also, Sell-A-Bration is right around the corner. What is Sell-A-Bration, you ask? Sell-A-Bration is a very exciting promotion that Stampin' Up! puts on during the months of January & February. There are several ways to take advantage of Sell-A-Bration:

For Hostesses: In addition to the regular hostess benefits, you will receive a free Sell-A-Bration set of your choice when your workshop totals $300 or more in net sales.

For Customers: For every $50 (before S&H) that you spend, you will earn a free Sell-A-Bration set of your choice. For every additional $50 you spend, you get an additional set!

For Recruits: If you sign up during Sell-A-Bration, you can earn any stamp set from the 2006-2007 Idea Book & Catalog in addition to all the great sets that already come in the starter kit!

If you would like to get a sneak peek at what the sets look like, please feel free to contact me! I think once you have seen them, you will definitely want to take advantage of this wonderful promotion!

Well - I have to get back to stamping! I hope to have some more ideas to share soon!

Sorry it has been a while but I was getting busy for Regionals! =)

This weekend, I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional in Providence, Rhode Island. It was great! I got a bunch of new ideas that I can't wait to share with you as well as some great pictures. The only part I didn't like was getting up at 5:00am and driving from Windham, Maine to Providence, Rhode Island!! But it was well worth it.

Unfortunately, Shelli (Co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!) was unable to attend the Saturday session. Fortunately, we had Jaron! He was a riot! He showed us some great ideas. So did (Kari?), one of the other presenters. We learned some great tips for our bitty books, how to make a scrapbook out of a file folder, ways to use our spritzer, and much, much more!

My upline, Carolyn, was even picked to present a Workshop Wow! Yeah!!! She showed a very cool technique using our glossy cardstock and our Stampin' Spots. I hope to get some pictures uploaded soon.

If you would like to see some of the newest techniques that I have learned, please contact me to book an in-home (your home or mine) workshop soon! (Please note: I will be unavailable from November 11th through the 18th as I will be on a cruise! =)
