Projects from the Retreat


I attended a special retreat organized by Jackie Bolhuis (almost two weeks ago now - where does the time go?). We each brought supplies for a gift project we would give to a friend (not a card). The projects were amazing so I just had to share!

We made a decorative tile, a display board, a covered journal, a framed Christmas sampler, two decorative framed art projects, an etched glass votive holder, a photo cube, a wine bag complete with covered wine bottle and coordinating tag, and a decorative Christmas wall hanging (not pictured because I couldn't fit it into the picture and still get good detail on all projects). Watch for some of these projects to appear in upcoming classes.

The weekend was amazing - great projects, amazing food, wonderful company, and lots of great information from seasoned demonstrators. I was honored to be included and hope to attend every year!!!

Our Christmas Card Photos

I'm so excited to share our Christmas card photos. We had my friend Michelle Evans come over Sunday afternoon and take a series of family photos. She picked the best of each pose shared them with me today. These are my favorites:


I think the one with the pets will be the one we have printed for cards, but we may end up with a photo gallery on the wall with the rest of them - they turned out amazing!!!
The last one is of our son Aaron horsing around. He is in his senior year at Grand Valley for secondary education. We are so proud of him!

Codeword: C R E A T E

I have some exciting news for you all today! Stampin' Up is offering a contest for us demos to see if we can hit a certain number of bookings as a group. The grand prize drawing is for a $100 gift certificate--but the even cooler part is that if we participate and the group hits the goal--the demonstrators ALL WIN a free stamp set from the Spring Mini! That's so cool!

The only catch is--we have ONE DAY to hit this goal--Tuesday, October 12th.

You can also schedule any time now and March. We're having a HUGE HOLIDAY MINI BUNDLE BLOWOUT starting October 19th, in which selections of Holiday Mini merchandise that coordinate with each other will be offered together at a discount! This special runs through December 16th, so it's a great time to have a party and capitalize on everyone's need to get Christmas cards and gifts made and in the mail. We could also book your party for during SALE-A-BRATION (mid-January through March).

So I'll be doing my part! And because I have a teensy weensy phone phobia, I decided I'm going to do something to make you VERY GLAD I called you on October 12th! Here's the deal: if you mention the codeword in this post to me before I ask you about setting up your party, you will receive a free $10 or under stamp of your choice on the date of your show.

The codeword is: CREATE

So plan to book your show on October 12th, and either email me with the codeword if you're not going to be home that evening or if you can't get a hold of me, and make sure you mention it first when I call you. I will be pulling your phone numbers randomly and calling all evening long!

Don't forget--think CREATE, and have a date in mind for when I call you!!
