Hello Everyone! Back in November, I attended Stampin' Up!'s OnStage events in Ottawa.  This is one of the MANY perks of being a demonstrator.  OnStage is filled with goody bags (including a new bag!), prize patrol, swaps, visiting with friends, crafting, and a little bit of training.  I cannot wait until our next one in April! This card is one of the make & takes we made during one of our crafting sessions.  Birthday cards in the mail always make people feel loved--and nothing says love like a pop-up! tams# 10983 Product List Party Animal Designer Series Paper [142738] $14.50...

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone has had a great week!  It's been crazy busy around here getting ready for tomorrow's crop, and on top of it all Bentley had the flu and I had a sinus infection!  When it rains it definitely pours! One of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we get to apply for things like being a Display Stamper for our live events, and I thought I'd share with you some projects that I have done in the last bit that I used to apply for our event in Ontario for this coming...

Hello Everyone!

I have an absolutely amazing team!  Unfortunately, sometimes I am so busy I don't get a chance to give them the recognition that they deserve, but I try.  One of the best things about having a team though, is that even if I don't say anything, somehow they always seem to know exactly when I need a lift.  I was having a bit of a rough week, and completely unexpectedly, two of them lifted my spirits.  Both had recently promoted (did I mention how amazing they were??), and wanted to thank me (which was so very kind of them--but they...
