Bonus Days are Ending Soon ~ August 3, 2020, is your LAST DAY to Earn Bonus Bucks! Remember this is like FREE money! The concept is similar to Kohl’s Cash, you earn $5 in Bonus Bucks for every $50 you spend. Collect your Bonus Bucks Coupons and redeem them in August for anything you want!! See full details here.

New Website Coming ~ Stampin’ Up! has been promising a new Demonstrator website for a while now and it looks like it will be ready to launch soon! I cannot wait to share it with you ~ so you will be the first to know as soon as it is complete! So exciting!

Holiday Catalog Coming Soon ~ August 4, 2020, the Brand New Holiday Mini Catalog Launches. 

Paper Share Sign Ups are Coming ~ In honor of the new Holiday Mini Catalog launch I will be preparing a fabulous Paper Share for you. Sign ups will be ready soon and you will have the opportunity to receive ALL of the amazing new paper at a discounted price!! Stay tuned and get ready to sign up. You won’t want to miss this share. I’ve seen the new designer series papers and they are probably the best ever!

Card Swap ~ When is the last time you participated in a Card Swap? Or maybe you’ve never tried it? This is a completely free event (you just pay for mailing your cards to me for swapping.) If you’re not familiar, it is something that Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators do all the time. I thought it would be fun to open it up to EVERYONE. So, anyone who would like to participate is welcome!

The concept is simple. Everyone makes 10 cards (all the same.) You mail them to me, I sort them and then I will mail back to you a packet of 10 cards that were all handmade by your fellow participants. So you will receive 10 beautifully handmade cards from friends around the Country. If this sounds like fun to you, be on the look out for the sign up in late August.

So, that is a LOT of Good Stuff!

Also, if you missed the Brand New Annual Catalog Release you can still download a copy here. Just click on the photo of the new catalog in the right sidebar to begin your download. 196 pages of goodness is waiting for you!

Launched in June, I have been ordering some of the new stuff and it is just amazing. I am committing to share with you all of the New Colors, New Stamps and New Ideas I’ve been playing around with.

I will also be sharing upcoming Special Events, Online Tutorials, Special Sales, Product Giveaways and Discounts unique to members of my newsletter, and all the best Stamping news as it breaks. So you will be seeing a lot more good stuff in the stamping world!!

Keep Livin’ Lite!

A note to my friends… (part 4 ~ Handmade Shopper Friends)

Well, we’re almost finished with July. Where does the time go? 

It has been VERY warm here in Northern California and I have been inside with the air conditioning on most of the time. However, when I play outside, there needs to be some water involved, because it is HOT. So, I’ve spent a little bit of time in the pool and have taken a couple river rafting trips!!!! 

American River Rafting

Spending time on the river is my favorite thing to do, so I may be going again tomorrow! Crossing my fingers….

How are you holding up? Are you dealing with the heat? What do you do when you need to get out of the house and what type of activities are you enjoying this summer? I feel very limited in what we are allowed to do right now ~ So what is making this summer FUN for you? Please share in a comment or even send me a personal email. We need to share some good ideas amIright?  

Now we’ve made it to Part 4 of my series of notes. Today is for my Handmade Shopper Friends!

First, here is a recap of where we’ve been, and what is still coming:

3.    My Handmade Shoppers ~ Today, Read Below
4.    My Stampin’ Up! Shoppers ~ Still to come
5.    My Giveaway Subscribers and Winners!! ~ Still to come…

Now, just for you My Handmade Shoppers…

My little factory is still in business and I appreciate everyone who has stopped by to buy a Handmade Candle or two. I make small items in large batches, so when my handmade products are released to my shop they don’t last long. Large batches for this girl are usually 20-40 products at a time. Candles for instance take multiple days for me to prep and pour and I typically make 4-6 different scents, with only 8-12 candles per scent. After each scent has cured I will package them and work on the next scent, so it is a big time commitment. Each collection is made with patience and love. 

Some great news ~ my Summer Dreams Collection is going to be launched in just a few days! I hope you’re excited ~ Because I am thrilled! Stay tuned for additional details coming soon.

Some even better news is all of the amazing products I have been working on! I have been a creative, crafting, crazy person! I’ve designed and made prototypes, sent samples to family and friends and you are in for some amazing new products.

What are they you ask? Well, here are a couple ideas for you to ponder: Decorative Pillow Covers, Cosmetic Bags, Stickers, Die Cuts, Bookmarks, Templates for Crafting, more Planner Printables and much, much more!

Stay tuned and I know you’re going to LOVE all the new goodies!!

Thank you for all of your encouragement, feedback and support! It truly means the world to me when I hear from you, so don’t be shy…
