I am canceling tonight's class. It sounds like the rain may turn to snow later today. For those of you who signed up I have your supplies and will get them to you. Next month I will be offering another product base class. I will work on the flyer and get it out to you.

 

Today only I am in a challenge to book some private card classes. This is where you get some of your friends together to stamp and make cards or 3-d projects. I come to you or you can use my house. You have the chance to earn some product for free plus share Stamping with your friends! Just like my class there is a fee or if you order the class is free! I will be making some phone calls today to see if I can do that. If you happen to call me first I have a special gift for you. My number is 839-4910. Thanks so much. Right now Sale A Bration is going and it is the best time to earn more for free!!

 

Just a reminder that our regular card class is on Monday, February 11th from 4-9pm! Looking forward to seeing you!

 

Have a great day and stay safe if you have to drive somewhere!

As a guy, it’s not always easy to express yourself. You know you want to say it, but you just don’t know how. That’s why we’ve created the Dude, You’re Welcome! Kit. Quickly build a card that says just what you want it to say, whether it’s “#%&@!” because you messed up (when does that happen?), for a Special Occasion (you know the occasion), “I _____ You” (love, adore, miss, see?), or a simple “Thank You.” We’ve got your back. Dude, you’re welcome. Kit includes: * Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion * Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors * Twelve gray envelopes * A Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad * An instructional guide (for the most novice stamper!)

A new kit delivered right to your door!!

• THE PAPER PUMPKIN!!  Check out the website Here: https://mypaperpumpkin.com/  A SURPRISE KIT of supplies delivered to your door every month for only $19.95 (includes shipping and tax!!).

Here are answers to some of the questions you might have: 

Q: What comes in my Paper Pumpkin?

A: It's a surprise each month-anticipation for the surprise is seriously half the fun! No worries, though, you'll have everything you need to complete the project: paper, stamps, ink, accessories, and more! (You will need adhesive.)

Q: Does my Paper Pumpkin project come with instructions?

A: Yes, of course it does. The instructions will tell you everything you need to know. And they are so easy to follow-we promise.

Q: How long will it take to make each Paper Pumpkin project? (Now say that fast three times.)

A: We know you wish you had unlimited creativity time (we all do), but since you probably don't, we designed each Paper Pumpkin to be completed in 30 minutes or less! (We think of it as a spa treatment for your creativity.)

Q: Should I get on the Paper Pumpkin carriage?

A: Definitely, yes.  Just think of it-a Stampin' Up! surprise delivered to your doorstep every month (wahooo!).  Paper Pumpkin offers a simple, creative experience each month. What's more-sometimes, your monthly kit features . . . wait for it . . . some exclusive products you can only get through Paper Pumpkin. Try it and see what you think. You can cancel your membership any time.

Q: How much does a Paper Pumpkin membership cost each month?

A: Paper Pumpkin is $19.95 per month.  Because your Paper Pumpkin ships automatically to you, we have already built in the shipping costs of $5.00 to the cost of each kit.

Q: How do I start my Paper Pumpkin membership?

A: It's so easy - GO HERE https://mypaperpumpkin.com/ AND SIGN UP.

Q: When does my membership expire?

A: Your membership will last until you cancel it.

Q: When do I need to sign up in order to get my Paper Pumpkin?

A: You need to sign up by the 10th of the month in order to receive your Paper Pumpkin for that month. If you sign up after the 10th―no worries! You will get your first kit the following month. You'll know your Paper Pumpkin is on its way when you receive your shipment confirmation e-mail.

Q: Can I skip a month?

A: You sure can! Simply log on to your account on www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click skip a month before the 10th of the month in order to skip the Paper Pumpkin for that month. If you click skip a month on the 11th of the month, you will receive that month's Paper Pumpkin and not receive the following month's Paper Pumpkin.

Q: What if I want to cancel my membership?

A: You must submit a 10-page essay about why you would ever want to do such a crazy thing. (Just kidding.) It's simple. All you need to do is log on to your Paper Pumpkin account on www.mypaperpumpkin.com and choose cancel before the 10th of the month and you will not receive any more Paper Pumpkin kits (how sad). If you cancel on the 11th of the month, you'll receive that month's Paper Pumpkin and will not receive any more Paper Pumpkin kits.

Q: What is the return policy?

A: If you are not thrilled with your Paper Pumpkin, please call us at 1-800-STAMP UP, we'll chat and make everything hunky dory.

Every Man needs this kit!!

Today we had to say goodbye to our beloved dog Annabelle! She was the best dog, she was our first family pet. We loved her so much, and are going to miss her so much! Wanted to start blogging everyday but just found myself crying all day! Annabelle was 13 which for a dog her size is wonderful she made it this far! Our 2 year old golden is missing her terrible she has mopped around all day and if she could cry I am sure she would be. So I am hoping tomorrow is a brighter day and I can get back to some stamping! Here are a couple of pictures of our sweet girl! She loved to lay and watch people, she loved camping, and most of all she loved us just as much as we loved her! RIP Bell
