They get a little box with some goodies in it that will add a little something to their day. I like to use our mini pizza boxes because they are fairly sturdy and travel well. They are also just the right size for a few small goodies. This time the box included a lip balm, a package of cashews, chocolates, and some page … [Read more...] about Downline Gifts

Varied Vases
About once a month I work at the Just Crop Retreat teaching rubber stamping to a lovely group of scrapbookers. I look forward to seeing these ladies every month. Sharing new tips and techniques with them challenges me to keep coming up with new ideas. One of our Make & Takes for tomorrow uses the Varied Vases stamp set, which was designed by another Stampin Up Demonstrator. Did you know that is one of the perks of being a … [Read more...] about Varied Vases
