Stampin'Up! Weekly Deals and I'm Home!

Hey there! I've been home for a couple of days from Orlando but this is my first chance to blog. After I blogged the Weekly Deals last week, I finished my swaps, anticipating heading out to Orlando for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference on Wednesday, January 28. It was not to be. I came down with the a tummy bug during the night and ran a fever most of Wednesday, so we rescheduled our flight for Thursday morning. We made it just in time to eat the lunch Stampin' Up! provides, and I participated in an organized swaps before I even cleaned my plate. (It actually was several days before I had enough appetite to even think about eating most of a meal.)

I was exhausted pretty much the entire time we were there, but I'm still glad I went. I had a chance to see several of my friends from across the country and even got to chat a couple of times with my friend Constanze Wirtz from the Netherlands. We met on the Stampin' Up! cruise last year. That's just one of the things I love about Stampin' Up!; the chance to travel and make new friends from across the country and around the world!

The next day I swapped with these girls, my Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop sisters!

l to r: Judy Garza, Patty Chenail, me, Janet Wakeland, Laura Milligan, Lee Conrey, Jodi Reinert. Hamming it up in the front is BJ Peters!

Thursday night Stampin' Up! hosted the Manager's Reception at Disney's Fantasmic! It is a nighttime show with water and lights, so I really couldn't get a decent picture, but it was fun. Thank you, Stampin' Up!, for always making us feel appreciated!

No Stampin' Up! event is without yummy treats! My downline, Linda Reaney, and I hammed it up with some of the Mickey-themed desserts Stampin' Up! provided:

Lemon Mickey tarts-

Chocolate brownie Mickey-head-on-a-stick-

Truth: I actually only ate the two little push-up cheesecakes on my plate as they were the only gluten-free item offered, but they were just enough and delicious!

For my local stamping friends, YES, the Birthday Bash Stamp-a-Stack for this Saturday IS A GO. This will be my only in-home event this month as my newest grandbaby is scheduled to arrive by c-section this coming Monday, February 9th. I will be helping Kimberly with the new baby, as well as big brother Liam, most of the rest of the month, so my posts will continue to be sporadic until things calm down at the beginning of March.

Today I'm headed to my hometown of Decatur, IL, to check up on my "big brother", Don. Don has had some pretty major health bumps in the road the past couple of months, and so Mark and I are taking the day to drive up to see him for a bit. It's about a 3 hour drive, so I'm taking some paper to cut to keep preparing for my Saturday class. Fortunately. I like to cut paper! lol!

Here are the new Weekly Deals, a day late, but great nonetheless. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin'Up! October Savings Blitz!

Hey there! We had a lovely day yesterday! I went shopping with two of my daughters, Jessica & Alisa, to celebrate Jessica's birthday this past Sunday. We mainly spent most of our time in the children's resale shop, "Once Upon a Child", which is like a giant garage sale all classified by size and type of clothing, toys, books, and baby accessories. We love to go to garage sales, but seldom have the time to spend finding the locations, getting up super early, driving to the sales, etc. At this store (there are several across the U.S.) we were able to almost completely outfit all 6 grandkids (plus the new babies coming in 2015) for pennies!

Speaking of saving pennies, Stampin' Up! is offering many ways to save  in October! Starting today, October 1st, there are new Weekly Deals, Stamp, Stock, & Save, the Pick a Pack of Paper Recruting Promotion, and the Good Greeting Exclusive Hostess Set Promotion.

That's all for now. I have three workshops to prep for this week, a doctor's appointment AND a dentist appointment! eeek! I'm also still adding back more features that were lost when my hard-drive crashed before Founder's. Yesterday I unpacked, did a mountain of laundry, restored my Pinterest button on my toolbar and signed up for a terabyte of storage for my photos and documents with Dropbox. Yikes!

 

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin' Up! Weekly Deals September 9 - 15th!

Hey there! LOTS of great deals this week on punches! Ooooo! Did you know there's a 2-inch Circle Punch in the Annual Catalog now? There is! We've needed one to go in between the 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" Circle Punches, and to coordinate with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch for quite awhile! yay!

Wouldn't a 2" circle have made a nice addition to the snail shell on this card?
