AN ADDITIONAL $25 IN HOSTESS BENEFITS! How awesome is THAT?
So, dig out that catalog (you don't HAVE one, you say? Well, give me a holler and I'd be happy to get you one!) and gather your friends - and get enough orders for that $350 workshop!
Or better yet, give me a call and let me come to your house with my goodies and we can PLAY! You, as Hostess, will earn those freebies for that $350 workshop and we'll all have fun in the meantime!

Convention has come and gone. I always get so pumped while there and want to try EVERYTHING I hear about - but then I get home and reality sets in, and I realize I need to focus on one or two items and not try to do it all!
I'd love to get back in touch with you again, if you've been a customer in the past - give me a call! I'll be trying to reach you, too, so if you get a voice mail from me, I hope you'll take the time to get back with me so we can catch up.
I'll be sending out some RAK cards, too. What's an RAK card, you ask? It's a Random Act of Kindness card. I've been busily creating some with new stamp sets and inks and papers and will be mailing some out soon. Watch your mailbox - maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones!
How about a few photos from convention?
There was one exhibit this year that just knocked my sox off! It was called "The Sweet Shoppe" and it was GORGEOUS!
I know my photos aren't going to do it justice, but here are just a few to whet your appetite...
This is one of the displays - there were about 10 of them and each and every one of them was just breathtaking!I happened to be there during a class (shh - don't tell anyone, but it was right after lunch and I just couldn't sit in that chair and stay awake anymore! LOL)
So, Susan and I stopped by The Sweet Shoppe when it wasn't so crowded.
Here are a few of the items in a closer view. Remember, EVERYTHING was made with Stampin' Up! products!
Don't these look good enough to eat?I'll show a few of the trays in a closer view, so you can get a better idea of how the items were made.
I'm hoping SU will post some directions for us on specifically how they made some of the items - helps me not have to think so hard! he he
Don't these look good enough to eat?
The tray of brown 'candies' actually consists of boxes made with cardstock and decorated with buttons, ribbons, and other bling. Notice the ribbon roses on the top of one of the boxes? I do know how to make those...
And those cupcakes are VERY sparkly! Lots of glitter used on those!
There was so much detail to each and every one of these displays. I asked one of the Helpers how long it had taken to get this display ready and she told me a couple of months... There must have been a TON of people working on it for that length of time. Everywhere you turned, there was something more beautiful than the place you'd turned from!
These boxes were some of my favorites:
Aren't they gorgeous? Wish I'd been able to get closer. They, too, were very sparkly - lots of glitter - and used the new Elegant Lines embossing folder. Mine's on it's way - I hope to have it in my grubby little paws by Friday!Then I'll try to duplicate these - and I'm sure my attempt will fall short of the magnificence of these.
I'll post more photos of the items from The Sweet Shoppe soon...
I haven't been WOWWED by much at convention in a long time (I've gone to 21, so it takes some doing!), but this display certainly did it this year!
What have YOU been stamping lately? When would you like me to come do a workshop for you? Let me know!
