#28 Want to see a FUN project..........it's a video?

Sorry, I should have posted this a little sooner..........but none the less here it is!! http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/just4u/distPages/projectList.soa?easyTemplatePageType=1

Keep in mind, this technique can be used on other stamp sets.....try and think past the skull......maybe a Christmas theme with glitter as snowflakes, or something along those lines!!

Enjoy!

#29 ONE ONLY!

The first person to book a NOV. workshop* will receive double the free product on their hostess benefits!

A little hint/tip..........ordering the BIG SHOT is a workshop of it's own!!!

*Workshop can be in-house or book-order workshop...........the choice is yours!

#26 Saskatoon was GREAT

We(myself and two fellow SU demos)are back, and we had a great time!!!


We attended classes, met GREAT people(talk about a friendly bunch), had lots of laughs, and of course shared our passion for stamping in our Stampin' Up! booth!



Our make n' takes were very well attend. We prepared 160 for each of the 3 projects and came home with only 60ish(of each)leftovers........that means out of 150+ registered scrapbokers, 100ish came to our booth and completed our 3 make n' takes............I'm impressed! Thanks to everyone that came to our booth for a visit.........and we hope you liked the projects you completed..........by the feedback.........it seems you did!!!

#17 Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar

Saturday I will attend a Stampin' Up! event in Edmonton.........we are so fortunate that from all of Canada, Edmonton was the location of choice. There will be 300 demonstrator at this all day event.

I can't wait........it's going to be GREAT!

I'll be staying at the Mayfield(where the event is being held)with 4 members of my downline! It's been so long since we've had a chance to get together.......I can't wait for that reason alone! There will be a LOT of gabbing Friday evening, at breakfast, during breaks........the day is going to end way to fast!!!

The event itself should be GREAT as well.........they always are! We get a FREE stamp set(and I don't have it so that's good), do 6 make n' takes, watch several demonstrations, see some wow tips, share business tips.......etc., etc., etc.!! Fun, fun!

Another exciting part of the day will be when my friend(and downline member)Jean delivers her Decor Elements demonstration. Stampin' Up! called her a few weeks back asking her if she would be willing, and she of course agreed(she is honoured to have been asked)!!! She will do amazing, I am so proud of her...........GO JEAN GO!!!!

To ALL the ladies that visit my blog(ladies...99+% of my blog traffic)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month(should have posted this Oct. 1st!)

Please do your part......by that I mean have regular check-ups, and if you can support this cause that affects so many. I'm sure it's touched all of us one way or another!!!

I am guilty of NOT following my own advice, I must change this and WILL!!!! Just found out this week that someone in my extended family has been diagnosed with Breat Cancer....I do not know much for details yet? What I do know is, she is a Mom that is 40-45, has 4 children, and a husband that is a cancer survivor! You just never know, even with great results(treatment/surgery/etc.)it will turn life upside down!!!
