Well, I made it home from OnStage yesterday and I am exhausted. OnStage is the Demonstrator only convention that Stampin Up puts on twice a year. I'll share a recap of our weekend adventure soon but in the meantime, I wanted to share the little gifts I made for my Downline members that attended the event. I stocked up on the Mini Pizza Boxes that were in the Holiday Catalog last Fall. They are the perfect size to include a couple fun … [Read more...] about I Survived OnStage

Today’s The Day…
I am on my way to OnStage in Las Vegas! I am so excited. I cannot wait to see friends from around the Country. I love attending these events with my Downline and this time there are four of us going. At this OnStage, we will get the new Catalog that starts June 1st and we will get a chance to see brand new products being released in the next Catalog. And I hope, we'll even get to take some home as prizes. Any time there is a … [Read more...] about Today’s The Day…
We’ll Always Have Paris
Do you remember those days back when you were younger, and you could just decide to take off for the weekend? You'd grab some clothes and throw them in a bag and hit the road. Maybe you had an idea of where you were going to end up. Maybe you were just winging it, figuring you'd stop somewhere that looked interesting. That, my friends, is called being spontaneous. It's funny how life creeps in and a decade (or two) later, you're … [Read more...] about We’ll Always Have Paris
OnStage Recap
Last month, I traveled to Salt Lake City for Stampin’ Up’s OnStage Event. OnStage is the new name for our Demonstrator Convention. These events are always so much fun. This time, it was just Lyndi and I going. Unfortunately, Margo had a pup emergency at home and had to cancel at the last minute. We really missed having her along.We usually fly in the day before so we have a chance to get settled before all the craziness starts. And this gives us … [Read more...] about OnStage Recap

Day 6-Display Stamper Blog Hop
I can't believe we are down to the last two days of the Blog Hop. Have you had a chance to check out the other Pages?

If you haven't ever tried this technique, this … [Read more...] about Day 6-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Day 5-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Have you met my faithful assistant Frannie? She is always by my side and loves to help me in the studio. She's great at shredding paper and unspooling ribbon. And if you need something chewed, she's ready to take on the challenge. Frannie is 7 lbs of terrier mutt, although most of that is fur and ears. She loves to lounge on the back of the couch and always has this one ear perked up to make sure she's not missing out on something. … [Read more...] about Day 5-Display Stamper Blog Hop
