Sharing other's gifts

Happy New Year to you all! It has been a wonderful holiday for me. I truly enjoyed spending time with my family and friends--especially seeing those friends who live out of town since I so rarely get to see them. Today I want to share some of the cards that were sent to me for Christmas.  I love getting cards in the mail!This first card is from Lynnette Parker.

From Kim Goodsell, my upline and a sweety!



From Joanne Lawrence



From Mary Cargill


From Tina Maxton


From Susie Meinzer


From Ingrid Allen


From Kimberley McCubbins

I think they are all marvelous!  Thanks for thinking of me and my family and sending a card!

News here! Fresh off the press!

I am so excited to share with you some of the new things I will be offering in 2010. I can feel it in my bones that it's going to be a fun year ahead! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about any of the following. I'm going to try to keep things brief, but I encourage you to contact me (by leaving a comment to this post with how I can reach you, or contacting me through my Stampin' Up website)if you want more information about a specific opportunity.

Monthly Swaps:
If you want to increase the number of cards you have on hand, either to use or to inspire you, then join in on the monthly swaps. Each swap will have a theme which will be explained at the beginning of each month. To participate, you simply let me know you would like to take part. You create a specific amount of cards, all of the same design, and then you send them to me by the deadline for the month. In return you get cards from other stampers that you can use. If you make 10 cards for the swap, you would send to me 10 of the same cards that you made and get 10 different cards in return! It's a wonderful way to stay connected with your hobby, to challenge your creativity, and share your creations. The swap for January is "It's an Occasion." Please contact me if you're interested and I will send you the specific information for this swap. I will also post the swaps on my blog for all to admire!

Stampers Ten Club: (For the hobbyist who's on a budget but wants to keep active and earn free things!)
This is an opportunity to increase you supplies on a low budget, get/make a card (it'll be your choice) and receive hostess benefits. This is a club for those who can't make it to a monthly club, but would like to receive a level 1 hostess stamp and $15 in free merchandise. To join the club, you commit to purchasing $15 a month in merchandise for 10 months in 2010. One of those months you will be the "hostess" which means you receive the free stuff! No need to leave the comfort of your home. You can participate in the club at 3:00 a.m. while in your PJ's!

The Fab Five: (For the more serious stamper)
This is a traditional club which will meet in March, May, July, September, and November only. The commitment for this club is $100 each meeting. You will make 5 projects each time as well as enjoy a meal. When it is your turn to hostess, you receive multiple free hostess stamp sets plus $65 in free merchandise of your choice. This club is limited to five members.

Quarterly Potpourri:
Come and spend some time at my home making projects of your choice. I will have samples to copy and pre-cut card kits available. The $5 cost reserves your spot and lets you use my stamps, punches and My Digital Studio. In addition, you pay for the consumables you use during the time. You will be able to purchase by the piece papers, ribbon, embellishments, etc. Only 16 spots available for each Potpourri. This is a time to make more of something that you made at an event or workshop or maybe just a sample that you see that day. You can also bring your own project to work on and just enjoy the uninterrupted creative time. The $5 cost is waived for any order placed of $50 in merchandise.

I will also be taking part in or hostessing other larger events throughout the year. I will let you know about these events, such as stamp camps and stamp-a-stacks as they are planned.

It's all going to be great! And I can't wait to start!! Sale-a-bration begins January 5th. It's like getting Christmas presents again! If you need anything, have a question, or just want to have something clarified, please contact me!

Thanks for reading the whole post. You're super.
