The Best Mother’s Day Ever
Just in case you didn't know, yesterday was Mother's Day. We celebrated with my mom Saturday evening and my hubby spent the previous Saturday with his mother. Yesterday, we got to do something I've been dying to do since I first heard it they were building it about two years ago. We went to Universal Studios to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Oh my goodness! Universal did a pretty good job recreating Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. It … [Read more...] about The Best Mother’s Day Ever
Five Minute Friday – A Little Something for Mom
Still trying to come up a gift idea for your mom? One thing that doesn’t change is that mother’s appreciate the gift of time. Why? Because most mothers have learned how to juggle time commitments and therefore understand exactly how precious time is. How do you give the gift of time? You can either spend time together or take time to make something for her. My mom still likes getting handmade gifts from us. I know she appreciates the time we … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – A Little Something for Mom
Mother’s Day is THIS Weekend!
Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Can you believe it? It’s not too late to send your mother a Mother’s Day Card. And if you’re hand-delivering it, you still have plenty of time! Today I'm sharing an adorable gift wrap idea to hold your mom's present. This little purse was made by Poli and it was her swap for our April Downline Meeting. I love the great use of washi tape as purse straps. Washi tape is so inexpensive and we all have tons of it in our … [Read more...] about Mother’s Day is THIS Weekend!
I’m going to miss you!
Stampin Up does this to me every year. You think I'd learn by now. Every year they retire In Colors that I have fallen in love with. And now there's only one more month to get the 2014-16 In Colors. I'm really going to miss this group of colors. I'm not sure which I'm going to miss more: Hello Honey or Blackberry Bliss. Or Mellow Moss. Or Lost Lagoon. Or Tangelo Twist. And to top it off, we're losing some really cool stamp sets and accessories … [Read more...] about I’m going to miss you!
Five Minute Fri-yay!
This past Wednesday night, we had our monthly Downline Meeting. I love getting together with these ladies every month. We have the best time together! This was a fun meeting! We shared all the information that we got at OnStage in Salt Lake City and showed off some new goodies as well. If you attended OnStage, you were able to order some new products that won't be available until 6/1 to customers or 5/3 to other demonstrators. This was one of the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Fri-yay!
Hello and Goodbye!
For the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite products that are retiring along with something brand new! This week is the Watercolor Thank You stamp set and Sketched Dots Bags. I'm seriously going to miss both of those items. I had several packages of the Bags and now I'm just about out. I love how they are the perfect size for a couple treats or something slightly larger than your standard "fun size" chocolates. I filled … [Read more...] about Hello and Goodbye!
OnStage Recap
First let me apologize for the length of the post, but there was so much good stuff going on at OnStage. Every year when we go to Stampin Up's Annual Convention, now called OnStage, we have some traditions that we continue to do. We like to fly in the day before to allow time for some shopping and to do a Shoebox Swap. We eat at mostly the same restaurants every year: Kneaders, Toasters, Cafe Molise, Naked Fish, Red Rock, and Red Iguana. … [Read more...] about OnStage Recap
