As The Ink Dries

Catching Up!

Yes, I am back from Stampin' Up's Leadership meeting.  It was a wonderful event and I had the best time.   Stampin' Up! really knows how to show their demonstrators a good time.   I met a lot of people and learned  a lot from the presentations but also from talking with other demonstrators and you know me I like to talk.  I  missed most of the snow and ice that was happening back home in Washington. Hard to believe that Jim went cross country skiing around our neighborhood!  It was a shock to see all the tree damage that occured during the storm. 

I have got to share something with you.

I am pointing to the wrong name but look at the second name.   That's  me!  I won a $100 Shopping Spree from Stampin' Up!   Thanks Carolyn for the picture!  I am pretty excited and am trying to decide exactly what I want to order.   What would you order?  So many possibilites!  

I have a lot more to share with you so stay tuned.  Oh yes, I picked a winner from the online orders placed while I was at Leadership and Laura S you are the winner of the January tutorials from Craft Project Central!  I will send you an email with all the details.  

Thanks for stopping by and checking in on me.  Remember to sign up for my new mailing list just go to the upper left hand corner of the blog to sign up.  

Back to Reality

Homeward bound!  Yup, I am winging my way back home.  Back to reality.  One of the things I have on my list to do when I get back  is to start working on my newsletter.  I need your help.  If you are on my E-mail list  and want to continue to receive newsletters from me you will need to sign up again to be part of my new list.  What?! I am trying out a new email newsletter service and closing out my other one.  Here is what you need to do.  Go to the upper left hand side of the blog and fill out the form under "Join My Mailing List".  It does not take much time to do and then you will be signed up to receive my newsletters.   I am sure there is an easier way to do this but I have not figured it out yet so please scroll up and fill out the form.  

If you signed up to be apart of my newsletter list since mid December you do NOT need to do anything.  

Thank you and if I figure out an easier way to do this, I will let you know!

While I Am Away...

***I am leaving this at the top of the blog while I am away.  Check the next post for something new!***

If all goes well I should be winging my way to San Antonio  to attend the Stampin' Up Leadership Meeting.   I have been looking forward to this trip and being immersed in all that stamping goodness.

While I am away, when you  place an online order with me I will enter your name into a drawing to win the tutorials for the month of January from Craft Project Central.  Check out  the projects so far this month here,  here, here, here, and here.  There will be 5  more projects to come, 10 projects total.  I will pick the winner when I return on Sunday.    

I am scheduling blog posts while I am gone so come back and check them out!  Have a fabulous week and I cannot wait to share with you what I learn!

Clearance Rack Blitz

Go check out the Stampin' Up! Clearance rack!  There are SO many great items on there.  Do you prefer the "old" style punches?  If you do then you really need to see all the punches that are in the Clearance rack.  Do you love ribbon?  Lots of great buys there too.  I am picking up some  ribbon especially the 3/8" taffeta ribbon for $2.79!  You need to place the order for Clearance Rack items through my online store.  You can include other merchandise in your order too!  Gotta go and get my order placed cause you know at these prices things are going to go fast!

I will be back later in the day with actual stamping projects!  I just wanted to make sure you got in on the crazy good deals!

It's Coming....

I am doing  it again this year!  What am I talking about?  I am going to be doing the 12 Weeks of Christmas emails.  What is it?  If you are on my mailing list you will receive a weekly email from me beginning in just one week!  Each email will feature a Christmas card, gift or packaging idea with directions on how to make it!  Sound like fun?  It will be!  

Here's what you need to do to make sure your receive these emails.  You need to sign up to be on my mailing list.  How do you sign up?  Look in the upper left hand corner of this blog, above my picture and you will see "Sign up for my Newsletter".  Click on GO and it will lead you on the path to be a part of my mailing list.  It is easy and safe and I will not share your email with anyone else, promise!  If you find you are not enjoying being a part of my mailing list you can always unsubscribe ( PLEASE do not mark it as SPAM, just simply unsubscribe-Thanks!)  

I will not be sharing the ideas from the 12 Weeks of Christmas emails on my blog so the only way to make sure you see them is to join my mailing list.   Think of it as being a perk of being on my mailing list.

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back tomorrow with a stamping idea to share with you.
