Last Friday, I announced a couple new programs that I was starting: 24-7 Ink Rewards, Free Catalogs and using a Host Code on your online orders. As I mentioned these items are exclusive to me and cannot be redeemed through other Demonstrators. The details for each Program is listed in the links across the top of my page. Well, Stampin Up just announced they are offering a special for July. For every $50 USD you spend (pre-tax and shipping) … [Read more...] about Paradise

What’s With All The Leftovers?
As a mom, I love leftovers. In fact, I look forward to leftover night because it means I don't have to cook! When the kids were younger, we'd have a leftover night once a week. I would get all the containers of leftovers we'd accumulated over the last couple days and it was first come, first served. Until I started doing this, I never saw kids so eager to pick out leftovers for dinner. Now that I have two teenagers, there are never any left … [Read more...] about What’s With All The Leftovers?
Five Minute Friday – The Struggle Is Real
Let's face it, crafting for men is really hard. In general, men are not “savers”. They don’t like to keep things. They appreciate the sentiment in the moment, but then they move on. After being married for almost 20 years, I get it. And even though I know my card may end up in the trash, I still take the time to handmake cards for the men in my life. For me, it’s not just about the card itself. I want them to know they are important to me. And … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – The Struggle Is Real
Failure Is Not An Option, Part 2
A few weeks ago I shared this post here where we tried to make our own texture paste at one of our Downline Meetings. Here's a quick look at that card again. Some were slightly better than others, but most of them were similar to this. I promised that I would revisit this technique and see if I could get better results. Lyndi and I got together to give it a try using the same exact stamp set that Sara Douglass used in her sample. We … [Read more...] about Failure Is Not An Option, Part 2
Five Minute Friday – Foxy Friends
We are celebrating around here because school ended yesterday! Summer starts today! To be honest, towards the last couple weeks of school we are counting down the days and hours til the end. My kids are awesome students, but they I cannot wait for the exams, homework, and projects to be done. A big thank you to all the teachers who did not assign huge reports the last two weeks of school. And to those that did - really? Anyway... on to the fun … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Foxy Friends
Swirly Bird & Swirly Scribbles
One of the hot new sets in the new Catalog is Swirly Birds and the coordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlet die set. I'm sure this is largely due to the fact that this was one of the sets that Demonstrators could order early. Swirly Bird Photopolymer Bundle - 142353 Price: $46.75 Swirly Bird Photopolymer Stamp Set - 141749 Price: $25.00 Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies - 141497 Price: … [Read more...] about Swirly Bird & Swirly Scribbles
Prizes and Recognition!
This year, I am really trying to be more focused in rewarding my Downlines. I have always recognized their accomplishments in our meetings but I wanted to start giving out small treats as well. Last Thursday was our Downline Meeting and I had a couple different prizes for some of the ladies. The first was a pretty package of rhinestones for Lyndi, who promoted to Bronze Elite this month. This is a big accomplishment since she originally said … [Read more...] about Prizes and Recognition!
