More Happy Mail!

More people are realizing what an AWESOME bargain the Extra, Extra deal is, and have joined my stamping family! I am thrilled to welcome them and will support them in any way that I can, no matter what their goals are (if any).

I sent out another welcome kit this week, with the card pictured at the top. If you join my team this month, you'll receive this welcome kit and a card from me, too! You choose $155 in products, pay only $99, and shipping is FREE on your starter kit. That's all there is to it! You don't need to do anything else, if you don't want to.

If you choose to stay active so you can get the 20% demo discount (25% when you promote), you just need to order $300 before the end of December, which is the end of your first full quarter. Now remember, that's $300 retail, but you get the discount off that, so it's really $240.

AAAANNNDDDDD, you can add preorder items from the Holiday catalog to your starter kit! AAAANNNDDDDD, you'll get a $10 coupon code next month to use on any order that month as part of the Extra, Extra promo.

At Home With You Welcome

Do you have a new neighbor that you would like to welcome to the neighborhood? This is a quick card that uses the Just Add Color Specialty DSP. I "just added color to the one house" to highlight it, fussy-cut the roof line of the houses, and added a metallic doily behind the colored house to really make it pop.

I love the DSP sheets that have the rows of houses, because they remind me so much of the Painted Ladies in San Francisco, those gorgeous rows of Victorian-era homes. Each one is unique, and I noticed that every house on the DSP is different, too!

The greeting is from At Home With You and I thought it would be a nice way to make the new neighbors feel welcome.

Happy New Home

My BFF Barb just moved from Twin Falls to the Coeur d' Alene area, so of course I had to make a card for the occasion! After Googling her new address so I could see what her house looked like, I decided to make a card that looked like her front door. There are a few extras thrown in to dress it up, but the door looks exactly like her new front door!

Those In Color Dahlias worked perfectly for the flowers and the topiary! Barb has a green thumb, so I know her home will be surrounded by beautiful flowers in no time, as soon as it warms up enough.

There was a little gifty tucked inside, too. I looked up the nearest Starbucks location (only 0.7 miles away!) and sent a gift card with a map and a note that "motivation in a cup" was less than a mile away. 

She texted me today to say she was heading out to get some "motivation" and then starting the craft room. I can't wait to visit and see how she sets up the new studio! (Barb is the person responsible for me getting into paper crafting, and I curse thank her every day for my addiction!)

Growing, Growing, Growing!

Welcome, Lili!

My Stampin' Up! family is growing again! I am so happy to welcome Lili, the newest member of my stamping team.  This is the card that was mailed to her yesterday.

I'm also excited to show her what's new in Stampin' Up!  She used to be a SU demonstrator about a million 20 years ago and I do believe things have changed just a weeee bit since then, lol!

So Lili will come to my downline meeting tomorrow evening, and she'll get a sneak peek at every stinkin' thing in the new catalog (ahem) a few new things I've preordered from the holiday catalog, as well as meet other team members, make a couple of fun projects, and hopefully have lots of questions for me!

If you're curious about the perks of being a demonstrator, or what it takes to become one, or just have a question about it, please don't hesitate to ask or even come and sit in on our meeting! You don't even have to be local to join my stamping family. I strive to make ALL my gals feel appreciated and part of a TEAM, no matter where they are located!
Join my team!

My Growing Family

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me make it clear I am NOT pregnant! Perish the thought!!! It would be a miracle if that happened, and anyone who knows me would know I'm not a likely candidate for that kind of miracle. *snort*

And no, I'm not expecting any grand babies, either. The two precious punkins I have are all that I will ever be blessed with.  So, just how is my family growing?

I'm so glad you asked....it's my STAMPIN' UP! family, of course! Patty joined during Sale-A-Bration, and Clarisa is the newest member of my stamping team. Not only did she sign up last week, but she did it the day before 300 new spots opened up for Convention, and she's going to Convention, too!

This is the little welcome card I sent to Clarisa. I'm just so happy she's one of "us" now!

And here is Patty's welcome card. She's going to Convention, too!  Look out, Salt Lake City, here we come!

If you join my stamping family, I'll send you a pretty welcome card, too (along with some other handy-dandy stuff*!). It doesn't matter where you are located, as long as you are within the United States. You will be included, long-distance, in our activities. How does that work? Just ask me!

And, until May 30th, you get an extra $30 in product of your choice in your starter kit. That's $155 of stamping goodness for only $99! And YOU get to choose what you want in your kit!!!

So what are you waiting for? It's easy, it's fun, and there's no obligation whatsoever to do anything further, if you don't want to. (But I have a feeling you'll want to!)  JOIN NOW!
