Happy Valentine's Day!

I finally made a card!

Occasions Like These Deserve SaleABrating!

Wowza!  I know you get tired of my stating that "this is the best mini (catalog, etc) yet," but I can't help it!  Stampin' Up! just keeps rocking on with awesome new stamp sets, accessories, fabrics, etc.  And, my wishlist grows bigger and more expensive!

The Occasions Mini is in effect NOW.  Click here and view it online.  You can order here.

On January 25th, the Sale-A-Bration starts!  What Christmas is to most children, SU! Sale-A-Bration is to Stampers, Papercrafters and Scrapbookers!  It's kind of like Christmas and your birthday all rolled into one!  For every $50 spent, you get to choose FREE items from the SAB brochure along with selected items from our mainline catalog.  Since SAB doesn't start until Jan 25th, I can't share the wonderful goodies included in the promotion just yet, but I can advise you to take a look at the Occasions Mini, make your wishlist and be ready to place your order on Jan 25th!  You will be glad you did!

So, Happy New Year.  May it bring you joy, laughter, prosperity and stamps!

I'm still alive!

I have to send a very sincere apology to my Customers for my lack of postings for several months.  Since most of you are my friends, you know that my husband broke his neck and back 5 years ago and sometimes my life is consumed with just living....if you can call it living when you don't have time to stamp, go to garage sales, redo furniture and do all sorts of other crafts and repurposing!  I am home with hubby while he recovers from his 4th surgery.  I thought I would get all sorts of projects done to post either here or on my crafting blog (www.mycowboyswife.blogspot.com), but I have found it's best just to concentrate on him right now. So, my projects remain a vision in my head, my house remains unorganized, my laundry backed up.... I promise, I will be back and more consistent  in the New Year!  Don't give up on me!

Worth area and want to attend my home sale, please let me know and I will keep you posted on date/time. I accept paypal and shipping is actual cost.

It's fun to be a Demo!

One of the best things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator (besides all the wonderful friends you make) is all the cool things you get to attend.  When I flew to Wisconsin last month to spend the weekend with three of my dearest friends, we also got to go down to Chicago to attend a special SU! event with other Members of our group.  It was so fun and I came away with the best cards and samples I have ever left an event with - in over 10 years of being a Demonstrator.   This was absolutely OUTSTANDING!  This is one of the benefits of joining my team.  You get to be part of an awesome group of very talented, sharing and caring Demonstrators.  And the group I am in are truly the cream of the crop!  You still have until October 18th to join Stampin' Up! and get the FREE Craft Tote with your starter kit!  Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity now and then later, you can take advantage of the wonderful events we have planned!

This picture isn't great, but here is a small sample of some of the ideas that were shared:
