How about some gifts for the kids teachers.

Here we go, a nifty Dollar tote decked out with our Sizzix snowflake die (#113460, $15.95). So easy and of course a NO-SEW item. yippee!

Oh Look, more coasters. Again, No SEW!!

And finally, little treats in small packages. Thanks to Becky P. in Idaho for this one. These are tiny little bottles -about 21/2" tall. Only 2 teaspoonful of treats fill these jars.

I hope my daughters teachers like their goodies.

Enjoy! See ya tomorrow.

Here are the boxes a customer ordered from me all stacked just so.

Here there are finished-filled with (small) candy treats.

I decided afterward on my example to make the Santa tag a true tag.

ENJOY!

I had a three hour event for the Women's Network in Lake Geneva. Although I am not a member, I am a friend of the group and do show up for an event or two. This event was at the Bella Vista Suites in Lake Geneva. What a Beautiful place. Loved the Koi fish in their inside pond.

The other santa hatted one in this picture is my friend Dori Beck-She sells Wildtree.

Thanks to Denise Schultz for taking this picture with one of my many treats. See something you like-Contact me today as I take orders for my Dry Erase Boards, Nifty Gifties and treats like Snowman Soup. Enjoy!

Hmmm-more treats. I think it all starts with Halloween and just continues until Valentines day! Oh heck-Treats-Candy-its anytime -all the time. I love to make little treats bags and this post is no exception. We have ordinary holiday candy put into a Highly Decorated treat bag. Just add glitter and suddenly-It's very festive.

I want to thank all my guests and current customers that attended my 2-day Holiday Stamp Camp this year. I also want to thank some of the Most Awesome Demonstrators and Stampin' Up!® for the ideas that I all or gently cased.

I am truly blessed in being a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator. I have met some Wonderful Customers that I truly feel are my friends, not just people passing by with an order here and there. I also LOVE putting together Stamp Camps and classes and watching people gather and CREATE. I also LOVE to bring new people to my Stampin' Up!® team who Love to stamp, create and put ideas into motion. So-Right now until Tuesday-Nov.30th.

Then go to JOIN MY TEAM-watch any of the videos and if you are ready-go to my site-and sign up online. My Special password is Goose. Here are some tp questions I have been asked:

#1 Question-How much do I need to sell to stay active?

You must sell $300 PER QUARTER-Not per month! Collect orders through book shows-showing a catalog,etc. Have a show or two. Perhaps have a class-like a stamp a stack.

#2 Question-What if I just want to try it for 6 months and then just quit.

Sure-no problems there. You can leave anytime without any guilt or fees.

#3 Question-What if I just want to buy and maybe just sell to friends, or not really go out and demo rather have a class (stamp camps, etc) at my home.

Certainly. I started having classes in my home about 13 years ago. My first Open House to introduce the neighbors to me and Stamp Camps were in my home. In fact as I built my business -most of my events were in my home. It was Great fun.
Now a lot of my classes are in coffee shops, motel/hotels,churches, peoples basements, etc.

#4 Question-Can you help me get started?

Yes. I help you get started and along the way help you with ideas,etc. Plus-there is a whole community of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators to help you too on the Stampin' Up!® Website with over 100,000 plus ideas and video's etc. So much more help then when I first started oh so long ago. Ahh-sometimes it's like yesterday!!!

#4 Question- Do I have to live near you to sign up?

No. I signed up with a gal from Michigan. You can sign up from anywhere in the USA! -Give me a call on my cell phone if you want to talk to me first hand-#262-374-0219 (Central)

Want more-want your own group-want to earn cruises, money, recognition among your demonstrator friends and co-workers? You can do Anything, Be anything and earn what you want.

I would love to have you on my team-the Dairy Best Stampers!

ENJOY!

Whoo wee, nothing like being put on a wait list for a very full craft fair and being told 2 nights before-"your in"! I quickly set up a booth (tight Space) at the Lakeland Nursing Home In Elkhorn, WI yesterday and captured a few photos for you.

Look -I updated my Santa on a stick!!!

ENJOY!!

Isn't it time for you to be a True Big Shot. Have you used your big Shot Yet? I mean-REALLY used it? Have you put anything more than paper through it? Why not? What is stopping you? This is the perfect time of year to do something fun and creative while being thoughtful. Here are some examples:

This mug was one the gift projects at My Holiday Stamp Camp 2010 last weekend. I will admit-it was a tedious project (because of pulling out the little pieces) and probably too much for a few of you. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful gift to give. Many of my guests were able to choose from Red, Turquoise, and Purple Mugs. I will post pictures from my stamp camp later.

I used the White Decor Element Sheets (#114335 $12.95) and ran it through our Big Shot using the Decorative Strip- Northern Frost (#120901 $21.95). There are lot's of colors to play with on page 35 of the 2010-2011 Definitely Decorative catalog. Please note-Hand wash only. A Wonderful Teacher gift. How about the UPS, Mail carriers and even the Fed-Ex guys or Gals. Perhaps someone at the office.

The next item is Felt Coasters. I used ordinary Felt. The two bigz DIES are the Snowflake (#113460 $15.95) and Scallop Circle (#113468 $19.95). I also used our new Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll (#122194 $14.95).

Just click to shop on my Shopping cart at the top of the page to purchase anything today. Remember-I have a Fun gift that I am giving right now -See Specials at the top.

Isn't this a Brilliant idea-I am already decorating things for craft fairs with this fun snowflake.

Enjoy!

Ok-Back to the grindstone of fun 3-D items. I have an off week this week and I am trying to be creative. I said many months ago-perhaps a year plus ago that I would use my White Shadow Box from a Big Box Store. Well-It's time.

I am using the Jingle all the Way Real Red Definitely Decorative Vinyl (#114707 $3.50-small). I also used 2009 Background DSP Christmas Cocoa Specialty (Sorry-No longer available). This years color combo has Cherry Cobbler and last year had Real Red.

If I flip the back panel around-Here is my second version. Better looking in person-hard to photograph.

JUST A QUICK NOTE- If you have been trying to Contact me on my Blog-I never got your email. I found out yesterday from Amy-my Blog set up Gal-that the CONTACT ME was not working oh probably since July-SO Not Good. I was not ignoring any of you-I Never got your email. I would love for you to try again. It's Fixed now!! Someone just contacted me and I am very Happy.

ENJOY!

I can't resist showing you a few pics of things we will make at my Holiday Stamp Camp this weekend. For those of you in either Illinois or Wisconsin-there is still time and room to sign up for November 6th-(15 more) and Sunday Nov 7th (2 more).

Fun Fun Fun Awaits you.

Enjoy!

So, it was time to finish putting together the rest of my Holiday Candle display. The two tall candles each had the top ruined by a cute but very devious little 2 1/2 yr old. :0)

Here is the Tutorial for my second candle.

Sad Candle!

I am using Cherry Cobbler #119685-$6.95, Very Vanilla #101650 $8.50 (40 sheets) and Newsprint #117166-$9.95.

Multipurpose Liquid Glue #110755-$3.95

Love this new kit-The Distressing Essentials #118762-$19.95. It adds the right touch for your different styles you are creating. I used the Tea stain ink with a sponge throughout this entire project.

Those last minute touches. The ribbon and hemp twine were also used. See my last post.

I used the Four the Holidays stamp set for the second candle as well as my last post for the first. For the red candle I used the Perfect Punches set (w) 117022 $24.95 or (c) 120516 $17.95.

You can place an online order at anytime. Just go up to my shopping cart.

Enjoy!
