For each OnStage event, I like to make a little gift for the ladies in my downline group that are attending. 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
Snowman Season
Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting. I love getting together with these ladies every month. This was a fun meeting because I was able to share all the new goodies from OnStage last weekend. We have so many new products coming in January - it’s always so exciting. Every month when we get together we make cards and trade them. It’s a fun way to get more ideas for projects. And we all enjoy making new things. This month’s swap theme was … [Read more...] about Snowman Season

I Survived OnStage
There really wasn't any doubt I would, but having had emergency surgery about five weeks ago, I was a little worried about whether or not I could keep up with the hustle and bustle of a trip. I did ok. Home now and totally exhausted. I'll share a recap of OnStage highlights as soon as I can get my pictures organized. On to today's project. Today's card is the same gift card holder I shared a couple weeks ago, using all new products. You can … [Read more...] about I Survived OnStage
October Customer Thank You’s
Happy Fri-YAY! OnStage kicks off tonight with their Leadership event called CentreStage. I am so thankful to all my customers and my downline. Without the support of all of you, I wouldn’t qualify for this event. I’m so excited to see what they will have in store for us this evening. Tomorrow is the main event – OnStage! We’ll be the first to see the brand new products in the Sale-abration and Occasions Catalogs. We’ll also be the first to … [Read more...] about October Customer Thank You’s
OnStage, Here We Come!
Eeek! I’m so excited. Tomorrow I head to Portland for Stampin Up’s OnStage Convention this week. So often, when these trips come up, we fly in and out and spend as little as time as possible. Of course, having the Convention in the same City for many years meant that wasn’t a big deal. This time, Poli and I decided to add a couple days on to the trip to have a chance to do a little sightseeing. We’re going to try to cram in as many things as … [Read more...] about OnStage, Here We Come!
Here To Serve You
A few weeks ago I shared this adorable Snowman treat-holder here. This treat-holder turned out to be super popular at the last two events I shared it at because this is a super easy idea that is perfect for mass production. I've had a number of requests to share a pattern on how to mass produce this project. I'm a visual person myself, so it really helps if I see it on paper. If someone starts giving me a bunch of numbers verbally, I'm … [Read more...] about Here To Serve You
The Brand New Paper Trimmer
Hooray! It’s finally here! Stampin Up’s brand new Paper Trimmer is now available for purchase. I’ve been using it now for a couple weeks and I’m pleased with the results. The new Trimmer has a taller blade, which is great for a couple reasons. The first reason is that the blade will actually last longer than our previous blade. The second reason is that since it lasts longer, it’s more economical since you’ll need fewer replacement blades. And … [Read more...] about The Brand New Paper Trimmer
