Just a little something I finally put together for when I do workshops and crafting events. This is a highly decorated box of Yellow cake mix. So Cool. This was a share from one of my favorite Demonstrators-Becky Roberts www.inkingidaho.blogspots.com. She made these as gifts and I truly fell in love with the idea. As you all know by now-I LOVE packaging ideas!!!! I used retired Dusty Durango C.S. and Chocolate Chip Ribbon and Retired DSP Sweet Pea for this one.

So-Book your Stampin' Up!® Workshop with me and get a Highly Decorated Cake and Frosting with your Awesome Catalog and Hostess packet. So Fun. Enjoy!! As Always, Please Share me with your friends.

Well, I forgot to take pictures. Hah-I was so busy-I forgot. That is a good thing but a bummer if you wanted to see what I had done. So here are the pictures of the cards my guests got to pick from and make one. Everyone seemed to enjoy these and they got a sheet with all 6 cards as well as the list of what was used. Again a Huge Thank You to Fellow Demo Patty B. for her ideas I cased for this Awesome Project.

YEA!!! Congrats to all of you. And to all that came to make my Open House a Success-I TRULY mean THANK YOU!!!!

My first day of my Open House was at Comfort Suites in Lake Geneva. A nice group of ladies did some serious elimination to my very large pile of retired card stock and background papers. Then again at .5 a sheet and .20 for background designer paper-it helps empty an area in my basement that I haven't seen in awhile. :0)

Lots of New 2010-2011 catalogs flew off the table. I still have a large stack of 2009-2010 to get rid of as you can see.

Lots of ideas, door prizes, and New product.

A fun Make and Take-1 of 6 to choose from(thanks Patty Bennett for your ideas). More tomorrow at Caribou Coffee Shop. See ya there! Don't forget to bring a friend.

One of my past customers, now a fellow demonstrator, took some trades for me to Convention. I so wish I could go but we don't want to throw the hubby over the edge with 2 Girls- 5yrs. and 2.5yrs.  Right now the 2.5 is a total demon child. Most of the time she is good but flip a switch and Boom-Evil Child with an evil laugh! Ahh well, I just live through the other Demos right now. So here are the two trades I made. I look forward to what I get back. Thanks Margie.

Don't Forget all you local people-My Open House is Sunday-July 18th at Lake Geneva Comfort Suites from 1PM-5PM and Monday- July 19th at Caribou Coffee Shop (downtown Lake Geneva) from 5PM-9PM. This is a Free Event and You should stop in and bring a friend or two. More on this later.

See ya All there. If you are unable to see any of my photos if delivered by feedburner, stop by my Blog.

Ahh that New Catalog Feeling! Haven't had one yet-call me or email and get your New 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog. The catalog is $5 plus get a $5 coupon to use later on a $25.00 order or more through me. These are going out today in priority mail for my Hostesses and Stamper 6 Group members.

These 'Do Not Disturb' packets will come with your catalog from me. It's a must have accessory!

Enjoy!

Yeah-it's going to be a Great weekend here in the Midwest. My family and I -Staying put! We are going to enjoy the Lake we live on and just hang out. I guess a "Stay-cation".

So sorry that I was MIA for a few days-I didn't even send out info on the New Catalog-hard to believe. It's my favorite time of year and well-I think I got a Summer Flu early in the week. Only symptoms were massive Body aches-like I did a marathon and had not slept in 2 weeks. Nice feeling-Not!! But I am back to what I know as normal and ready to start stamping and creating great ideas here on the Web.

So-For any New customers thinking about placing an order with me-I am getting ready with a cute gift and thank you card to send out to you all for the next month. You will see come Monday. But -for now-Enjoy my 4th of July Goodies! Happy 4th Everyone!

Easy Water bottle treats. I used the Old Brilliant Blue one more time and Real red and Whisper White.

The stamp set I used is July 4th (Clear #120063) currently in the Summer Mini catalog. I think it should be used all month-even all year because Patriotic is not just one day!

ENJOY!!!!!
