Video Sneak Peek #3: New Punches!

Are they kidding me?!  These punches are really cool.  Seriously, I know I’m a Stampin Up cheerleader but really, these are over the  top!
They close shut, making them easier to store on a shelf and take up WAY less room.  They have images in 2 places so you can identify them easily.  Very easy to [...]

Everyday Penguin

Whenever someone asks me “If you were an animal, which one would you be?”  I always reply “A penguin, because they are always so playful and having fun with lots of friends around!”
I received this card from my up, upline Karen Titus.  Isn’t he cute?  He’s from the stamp set Cold & Cuddly in [...]

Holiday Cards To Share

I’ve got the flu.  Fever, chills, aches…the works!  It’s been such a long time since I had the flu, I forgot what fun it is.  On the bright side,  Matt’s been the best ‘nurse’ ever and just went to get me rice and soup.  He even took pics and uploaded for me for this post!
Here [...]

Sunday Stampers

Our group of demonstrators got together yesterday to stamp and here are some of the swaps and projects they brought to share.  With another crazy week of construction guys finishing up on the house and moving back in, I’m afraid I might not get a chance to post details on these so I’m uploading a [...]

Shoebox Swap Pics

Oh my gosh!  I cannot believe it’s been 10 days since I have posted.  Bad blogger..  We are in full swing of our house renovation and it is really a mess around here!  I naively thought I wouldn’t get caught up in it, could just carry on my stamping way.   I didn’t exactly calculate it [...]

Stampin’ Up Swaps- Hawaii

What a day!  I feel like we have lived through 3 full days in just one! It is only 8 pm here and my body is still on Florida time, 2:30 am.  This zone difference must take a while to get used to!  We left this morning at 7:00 am and just got back.  We’ll [...]
