Well, that's it. School started months ago, Halloween is a distant memory, and Thanksgiving has come and gone in a blur. And now we come to my favorite Holiday...Christmas! I love Holiday decorations. Lots of them. I am definitely in the "more is more" category when it comes to decorating. Our Christmas wonderland starts with the cozy sledding scene on the porch complete with blankets, cocoa mugs and sleds. Some years, I even have a giant … [Read more...] about A Well-Dressed Deer

Candy Cane Season
Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting. These are always a ton of fun and lots of laughs. Last night was especially great because we got to share the new info and products we received at OnStage last week with those ladies that were unable to attend. I’ll be sharing my OnStage recap just as soon as I can get my photos downloaded and ready to go – hopefully next week. I’m still playing catch-up in the Craft Studio, so my swap for this … [Read more...] about Candy Cane Season
Beautiful Orchids
I love orchids. They look so delicate, yet they are really a hearty flower. I had an orchid plant that a friend had given me that lasted close to seven years. It just kept flowering year after year until it finally wore out. The best part of an orchid for a non-green thumb person is the fact that they truly like to be left alone. Once you find a place that they love, don't move them except to water. It did far better with watering only every two … [Read more...] about Beautiful Orchids
I Survived OnStage
I flew home from OnStage yesterday very, very, very early. If you've never flown out of Orlando, then you have not experienced one of the most busiest airports in the world. Any transport service you use to get to the airport recommends a pick-up at least three hours prior to flight time to give sufficient time for check-in and security. My flight left at 7:00 am EST, which is 4:00 am PST (my time zone). So pick-up was at 4:00 am EST. I'll let … [Read more...] about I Survived OnStage
Blending Your Blends
For the last couple of OnStage events, I’ve taken small boxes of treats to share with other Demonstrators. I give these to old friends and new friends I’ve made this trip. They aren’t meant to be a swap that I’m trading to get something in return. Instead, these are given to lots of different people, to Stampin Up employees that may have helped me with something or people who were just extra nice. The boxes are our Pizza boxes and these are a … [Read more...] about Blending Your Blends
And the crazy begins today…
Today is the day! The first day of Stampin Up’s OnStage Celebration and we are celebrating Stampin Up's 30th anniversary. Today, we kick it off with our CentreStage event. This is the party for Silver Elites and above. I am so excited to be a part of this group. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my amazing customers that make purchases and my amazing Downline that choose me to be their Upline. Every single purchase you make helps my family and … [Read more...] about And the crazy begins today…
