Home from Leadership in San Antonio!

2012-01-24T10:34:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone!

Long time no see! My sincere apologies for not keeping my blog updated but I'm about to change that. I've just returned from San Antonio, TX where I attending both the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference and Regional. I had a wonderful time - saw lots of old friends, met many new ones, learned so much my head is ready to pop, and can't wait to share all the exciting things that are forthcoming in the next few months! One of my sweet demo friends did a wonderful presentation about blogging and it has made me realize that it's not as hard as I make it out to be and that I'm doing a disservice to all of you for not doing it more often!

Well that's going to change -- my PROMISE to you is to starting blogging at least 2-3 times per week. I've already started downloading my Leadership pictures and will be posting many of those over the next few days! I hope you'll come back and check them out and see all the fun that we had not to mention some of the incredible swaps I got!

Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon!

New Flex Clubs Start THIS MONTH!!

2011-08-03T01:15:00.000-04:00

If you have ever wanted to sign up for one of my previous Stamp/Scrap Clubs only to be discouraged because it wasn't on "your" night, "Flex Club" is for you. It's my same Great Stamp Club with a few minor differences!

What's the same?

My clubs are perfect for all levels of stampers and allows you to stamp on a budget
Club consists of 8-10 ladies getting together once a month for 8-10 months depending on club size
Regular Clubs will make 3 projects (cards, boxes, gifts, etc) each month
Scrapbook Clubs will do 2 - 12x12 2 page spreads each month
You're required to make a minimum monthly purchase each club night ($15.00 - $18.75 depending on club size).
You receive the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog ($9.95 value) just for belonging to club
Each month a different clubber is our hostess and receives a minimum of $25.00 in Free Merchandise using Hostess Dollars from our New Hostess Program!! .
Your monthly class is FREE and includes everything you'll need. Just show up and have fun!
Attendance isn't required but adds to all the fun of "Girls' Night Out!

What's Different?

You'll have a choice of SEVERAL NIGHTS to come to club based on your schedule that month. No more missing because it's the only night club meets!
Your order isn't due until the 15^thor 22^nd of the month (depending on your group) so you'll have time to decide after coming to class.
Guests are welcome to "try-out" club twice for a small fee of $5.00/class. When your guest joins club, you'll receive FREE merchandise from me as a Thank You!

When does "Flex Club" start and how do I join?

Flex Club starts next week and will meet at 7:00pm on the 2^ndand 3^rd Tuesday, and Wednesday of each month. Additional nights and sessions will be added if enough interest!

Rules of Chocolate!

2011-02-09T22:57:00.000-05:00

Anyone who knows me and have been to my Stamproom knows there is always one thing that I can't stamp without and that is CHOCOLATE! I came across this article today about the "Rules of Chocolate" and thought I would share it with all of you!

The Rules of Chocolate.....

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.
Money talks. Chocolate sings.

Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? Because no one wants to quit.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

Chocolate is a health food. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived either from sugar beets or cane, both vegetables. And, of course, the milk/cream is dairy. So eat more chocolate to meet the dietary requirements for daily vegetable intake.

Looks like I have some catching up to do so I'm off to raid the candy dish!

Till next time...Happy Stampin'!

Leadership - Day 2

2011-02-02T01:23:00.000-05:00

Today was my first "Official Day" of Leadership and I was so excited to see what was in store for us! First thing on the agenda was my first organized swap hosted by my roomie, Tammy Baldwin and the ladies in my LateNightStampers group. It was the "Occassion Mini" and I chose Baby Blossoms as my set. It was alot of fun getting to see what everyone came up and to put actual faces with names! The swaps are terrific and I'll be posting some of them soon! Next on the agenda was picking up "THE BAG" and I couldn't wait! Those that attended Managers Reception got theirs last night and so we were anxious to get ours! I was too excited that I got mine from Shannon West (YES I LOVE HER) and one of the girls was sweet enough to take my picture getting it! Do I look excited??

Here's a picture of me with two of my roomies (Tammy, and Pam) along with a new friend from LNS, Kristy waiting to enter the Gathering Place! While we waited for the doors to open, you know we had to SWAP!!

We made our way into the Gathering Place where everyone would get together later for lunch and dinner, started our first classes here, saw Demonstrations, the Product Walls which were phenomenal, Momento Mall, and a host of other things! In our bag was a variety of goodies including a button that we had to wear the entire time -- mine was Pumpkin Pie and we were told they were very important and held alot of power. We found out later that at certain times depending on your color you won free goodies and got to go shopping first in Momento Mall! From the Gathering Place we went to a variety of classes (all of which were wonderful)! One of my favorites was called Ready, Set, Lead and it was presented by Jan Wakeland! I really enjoyed listening to her and her ideas were fabulous! Can you believe it...she has over 2100 in her downline! WOW! Here's a picture of me and Jan after the class! Isn't she precious??

After the morning classes, we got to do lunch on our own within the hotel! It is the most incredible place and hard to believe there is so much under one roof! I mean it's like a mini city complete with waterfalls, plants galore, and in one section a river with actual boats you can ride. We decided to go to Delta Island to Stax Hamburgers! I don't think I've ever seen a burger this big! But I was starving and ate the ENTIRE THING!

I really enjoyed sitting outside with all of my roomies and getting a chance to really talk and learn about each of them! They are so much fun and I know we'll be friends for a long time to come. After lunch it was time for our first General Session! I couldn't wait to get there because I had been told I needed to meet someone from "my list" because she had a gift for me and I was too excited! As soon as we found our seats I spotted her and she is even more awesome that I expected! I still can't believe that at that point we had only talked on the phone and she called me by name the minute she saw me! That just made my day and I can honestly say I LOVE RONDA WADE! She has taught me so much in just the few months that I've been training with her and it's easy to see why she has been in the Top 10 Demonstrators for the past several years! I love how this picture turned out! I'll post a picture of the awesome gift she had made for all her trainees later! I have it sitting here on my desk but I can't bear to write it in cause it's just too darn cute!!

I also got my picture taken with several of my favorite people who work for Stampin' Up before the session started!

Here I am again with Shannon!

Me with Selma -- what a sweetie!

Me with Bonnie Thurber -- She is too much fun!!

Aside from lots of wonderful announcements all geared around the +One theme, they did something they had never done at Leadership before and that was a March of Promotions! This is something that is usually only done at Convention and I was so excited! I was not able to go to Convention for my 5 year walk so it was a big deal for me to be able to walk in front of all these leaders. Both Pam and I got to walk the stage for promoting to Senior Supervisor and we made sure to let out a big WhooHoo when it was our turn in the spotlight. Here's a picture of us just after doing that.....

After our afternoon classes, we all went back to the Gathering Place for dinner and our Grand Opening Party! Check back tomorrow and I'll post more pictures and finish telling you about my fun first day!

Leadership Details - Day 1

2011-01-25T06:00:00.001-05:00

Welcome back...I'm glad to see you decided to check in and hear more about my fun trip to Nashville for Leadership Convention! I had gotten a late start leaving Louisville on Wednesday morning and got to the Nashville Airport with aband out 10 minutes to spare before my roomie, Pam Hodges arrived from IL for me to pick her up! Did you know that Nashville has a neat little "cellphone" area that people can wait in instead of having to drive around and around the loop while waiting for their passenger to arrive and get their luggage. It's such a nice benefit and even has digital screens that tell you what flights have arrived etc. It was fun driving down the hill to the terminal and trying to see if I could pick Pam out since I'd only seen a small picture of her on our LNS Group! As soon as I pulled up she saw my truck and started waving with a big smile on her face. She is a ball of fun and just the sweetest person. I know we will be good friends for many years to come. Here's a picture I took of her as I pulled up to the terminal. Isnt' she cute?? (Hi Pam!)

We immediately hit it off and talked and laughed the entire way to the hotel. I had been to the hotel several times in the past but not since it reopened and things had changed just a bit. The valet guys came out to help with our bags and directed us into the hotel to check in. Of course we were both trying to take it all in. It was gorgeous and you couldn't help but be in awe. As we made our way to the desk, I couldn't help but notice that Tami Ackerson was standing there waiting. Now seeing Tami meant that a certain person on my Short list (do you know yet?) was somewhere close and sure enough there she was talking to one of the clerks at the counter. I pointed her out to Pam but I was too giddy and chicken to go say anything to her. Hey...at least I knew she was there and I had 2 more days to actually get to talk to her! We checked in and made our way to our room which was gorgeous. I had intended to take a picture but totally got caught up in the moment and forgot. Trust me...it was very pretty and if I can find a fellow demo who took a picture of theirs, I'll borrow it so I can share it with you! Shortly after our other two roomies (Tammy Baldwin and Diane Glenn) arrived and settled in. It was funny picking beds and which side who was going to sleep on. Seems we all have our favorites at home and thankfully we able to accommodate. Later Pam and I went and did a little walking to find something to eat in the Delta area of the hotel called the Island. It looked just like a little city street with shoppes on both sides. We decided on Pizza since we had our LNS dinner later and didn't want to be too full to eat then! Shelby had some free time and came to visit which was fun.

She even went with us to the LNS dinner (thank you ladies for including her) which was at Solario (a mexican restaurant) there in the Delta. It was nice but not the typical mexican restaurant that we're use to here at home. It was fun getting to meet so many of the ladies that you only knew previously thru their posts on the group. (Hi Carol, Carol, Lisa, Nola, Pam, Kristy, Tammy, and so man others) We talked about all kinds of things while enjoying dinner.

I really hated to have to leave but had an optional class about Being at Manager's Reception Next Year that I didn't want to miss. The optional class was taught by Shannon West (LOVE HER) and made me realize just how incredibly close I am to promoting to Manager. I'm bound and determine to reach that goal by the end of June if not sooner (fingers crossed). It was definitely a fun evening and a great start to Leadership.

Come back tomorrow for more.....

Till next time.....Happy Stampin'!

LEADERSHIP ROCKED!!

2011-01-24T22:02:00.000-05:00

I had an incredible time in Nashville for my first Leadership Convention! And while I had good intentions to try and blog each day, the connection at the Opryland Hotel (yes Opryland Hotel) left little to be desired as it was S-----L-----O-----W-----A-----S-----M-----O-----L-----A-----S-----S-----E-----S! I took quite a few pictures, swapped for lots of incredible cards, enjoyed meeting lots of new friends, had 3 awesome roomie (Hi Tammy, Diane, and Pam -- waving frantically), shopped Momento Mall, fell in love with the Simply Adorned line, screamed and yelled, AND came home with a not so nice case of bronchitis that I'm still trying to get over. It's been crazy since I got home with not feeling 100% but between Flex Club, workshops, downline meetings, and coughing...it's been impossible to post. I will get back on track as promised starting right now.

This is one of my FAVORITE PICTURES from Leadership! And I still can't believe that I was able to get my picture taken with Shelli Gardner not once but twice! She is the sweetest most down to earth person and she just makes you feel special when you talk to her! I could have stood and talked to her for hours but I don't think the other ladies waiting in line would have appreciated me hogging her for that long. She and her husband Sterling were all over Leadership and made it a point to be accessible to all of us every chance they had.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I had a short list of top demonstrators that I JUST HAD TO MEET while I was in Nashville! And although one was not able to be there (sad face --- Patty Bennett), I did get to meet the others and they did not disappoint! Both of them are incredible ladies and the minute I started talking to them, I felt like I'd known them forever. Now I know you are probably thinking...okay Donna, where's the proof? Well you'll just have to come back tomorrow and I'll fill you in on who they are!

Till next time....Happy Stampin'!

Simply Adorned for Leadership!

2011-01-06T19:57:00.001-05:00

I am so excited to be going to my FIRST Leadership Training with Stampin' Up! next week. I'm actually busting at the seams! It's going to be in one of my favorite cities, Nashsville, TN, and being held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. I've been to the hotel to visit many times but not since it's been redone and never to actually stay as a guest! Stampin' Up! events are always the best and getting to enjoy them with 400 other demonstrators -- many who are among the Top Demos in the country -- just makes it that much better! I have a whole list of ladies whose blogs and projects I admire that I'm hoping to get to actually meet and swap with! Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE to take pictures! I've even been called a paparazzi by my daughters so I'm not going to mention who those gals are for fear they will run the opposite direction! (j/k). I have always found Stampin' Up! demonstrators to be some of the most incredibly sweet and personable ladies I know. I leave early next Wednesday and will have my laptop with me (YIPEE for my new laptop) so be sure and check back often because I'm planning to post alot while I'm there!!

One of the fun things about ANY SU Events is SWAPPING! I absolutely love it! It's a great way to meet other demonstrators and trade ideas! I also come home with lots of new amazing samples to share with all of you and knowing how talented all these ladies are, I know these are going to be the best of the best!! Since this is my first Leadership, I decided to not only make swaps for general swapping (somewhere around 50-60), I decided to try my hand at several organized swaps thru two of the online groups I belong to (LateNightStampers and Sudsol). I choose 3 different ones: on LNS -- Simply Adorned and All Occassions Mini, and on Sudsol - Any Current Catalog Set -- where I get to make 51 (wow) of the same card to swap.

I thought the Simply Adorned would be fun and outside my comfort level since I've never done anything with them! One of my roomies, Tammy, is hostessing it and assured me I'd do fine! I was given one of the charms as an incentive gift by my upline so I had an idea of what they entailed but was a bit worried anything I came up with wouldn't be Leadership worthy! So after some thought I decided to use one of my favorites stamp sets, Artistic Etchings and this is what I came up with:

The back panel is on the left and the front on the right. I personalized each one and love how they turned over. The pictures really don't do it just. Let me put it in the charm and show you what it looks like:

Sorry they are a tad blurry (that's what I get for trying to zoom to close) but what do you think? I am loving the way these turned out and hope the ladies in the swap do too!

Supplies: Artistic Etchings Stamp Set Clear, Simple Adorned 1 x 1 1/4 charm, Newsprint DSP, Heart to Heart Extra Large Punch, Billboard Alphabet, Big Shot, Basic Black Ink and Cardstock, Cherry Cobbler Ink and Cardstock, Crumb Cake Ink, and Basic Rhinestones.

COMPUTER ISSUES!

2010-12-18T14:57:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to send out a quick message and let you know that the planned updates for my blog are currently ON HOLD! My main computer is having issues again and EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING is on it. I have an external backup but someone finds it necessary to unplug it every chance he gets so not sure how current my files are. Trying to stay calm and not reek havoc but it's really hard to do when I'm in panic mode. Keep your fingers crossed that it can be resolved without having to reinstall the OS because that means I definitely LOSE everything! I think I'll go cry now!

Price per set ranges from $18-$22 depending on the amount of specialty paper/accessories/ribbon used. Each has lots of layers and includes a decorated inner liner. You’ll have several choices of verbiage for the inside that you can choose that day!

Please let me know which design(s) you would like to do along with how many sets. (For example: if you want to make 20 cards of design 1, register for that design name and 2 sets)

REGISTER with a FRIEND who is new to me and you will both get $2.00 off each set!

Door Prizes and Plenty of Chocolate!!

Update On Me!

First I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you for the sweet cards, emails, and Facebook posts since my knee surgery on September 7^th. As I mentioned in my last newsletter I was and am very excited about my new doctor and he didn’t let me down. This time around has been 300 times better than the first! No crutches, very little bruising and swelling, and physical therapy is progressing well even though the first visit (3 days after my surgery) about killed me! I did have to wait almost a week to go down to my stamp room (which was hard) but I was able to have this months’s Flex Clubs thanks to help from some of the wonderful gals in my downline, DaVille Stampers! I’m taking things slow and one day at a time but am really excited about the progress!

REMINDER -- Technique Classes!

After doing them for 4 years, I have decided to discontinue my monthly Technique Classes! While I have enjoyed doing them year after year, this will allow me to offer a wider variety of classes that will appeal to everyone! I will also be incorporating these techniques into my monthly Flex Club projects!

Friday Frenzy Sketch - 5/21/10

2010-05-21T00:44:00.003-04:00

Today is the first in the series of Friday Frenzy Sketches and I'm so excited to be participating. Each Friday a different stamper from our group of wonderful stampers will design a sketch and it's our task to create a card using it.

So without further ado, here is the first sketch by Melinda Couden:

And now my card:

I can't tell you how excited I am with how this turned out. I'm not sure you can tell from the photo but both the Rose Red layer and the butterfly are up on Stampin' Dimensionals and I randomly stamped the stem and leaves image down the left side in Night of Navy. I have to be honest, when I saw the line of 5 embellishments at the top right, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to pull them off in a way that I'd like. But the tiny Clear Circle Rhinestone Brads worked great and are just the pop it needed. I also couldn't believe how quickly this card came together compared to the amount of time it usually takes me to do one from scratch. I have a feeling me and "sketches" are going to become good buddies.

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set: Great Friend

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Rose Red, Whisper White

Ink: Night of Navy, Rose Red

Accessories: White Organza Ribbon, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Dimensionals

Be sure and visit all the ladies and check out their creations. You'll find a list of all the stampers listed here as well as in the left column near the bottom. Feel free to post a comment and show all of these ladies some love!! I hope you're as inspired as I am and will want to play along as well. I'd love to see what you come up with.

If you have any questions, or need to order any of the supplies to make this card, please feel free to call or email me!

Till next time....Happy Stampin'!

Feminine Graduation Card

2010-05-08T17:56:00.001-04:00

My son Joey's girlfriend Kristin is graduating today from the University of Louisville and this is the card I made for her. I was inspired by a card by Monica Weaver and knew I had to case it the minute I saw it. I did make a few minor changes based on the supplies I had. It features the "Happy Grad" stamp from the New Summer Mini and what a great deal at just $8.95. I love the metal look and it was so easy to create with everyday aluminum foil that I put inside the "Elegant Bouquet" Embossing Folder and ran through my Big Shot.

This is the inside and you can't really tell by the photo but the layered section at the bottom with the Louisville Cardinals (GO CARDS) is actually a pocket where I'll tuck her gift! I love how this turned out and I hope she does too!

Supplies used:

Stamps: Happy Grad, Whimsical Words (Occassions Mini)
Cardstock: Real Red Textured, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Versamark
Accessories: Black Embossing Powder, Half Pearls from the Pretties Kit, Black Organdy Narrow Ribbon (retired -- and how I miss it), aluminum foil, Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder, Big Shot

If you have any questions or would like to order any of the supplies to make this card, please let me know!

Till next time....Happy Stampin'!
