 Poem by Ann Wills:
 
Twas the night before Christmas
And in case you forgot,
I thought I'd remind you
What I like a lot!

Stampin' Up! Stamps
And papers and ink,
"Hmmm, that's what I should buy you
You'll be tickled pink!"

To make it so simple
I've sent Ann a list,
Just phone her with credit card
You get the gist!

She'll wrap it, and pack it
And deliver it too,
But if you're to late
One of her Gift Vouchers will do!

So contact her now
Shopping's no longer a chore,
She'll make it so easy
And you, I'll adore!

Altered Tin

Dear Stampers, 
 
I am SO happy to have warmer weather and longer days to finish up the year and am very much looking forward to a hot, lazy summer with the girls.  If any of you are up for a game night - come on over!
 
Today was very exciting as we all unveiled the NEW Summer Mini Catalogue!  We are all just in love - I'm looking forward to sharing all the new goodies with you.  I have full intention of spending quite a few hours in my laboratory crafting up new and exciting tasks for my next  unsuspecting victims.

 December's Virtual Class is a neat little tin - the perfect size for large recipe cards, a set of birthday or thank you cards, some chocolates, etc.  I designed it up wanting it to look quite vintage and warm, but it turned out a bit more aged cowboy looking to me.  What do you think?  Anyway,  I like it.  And I've included in the kits extra papers and the entire sheet of rub-ons, so you can choose what suits your style.  You can order just the kit, just the instructions, or a discounted product bundle  here.    December only or while supplies last!
   
Please welcome our new  Challenge Team!  They will be fantastic - I've already seen a few of the items in store for December . . . Check the blog each Wednesday to see what these talented ladies come up with using the same featured supplies.  And feel free to join in!
 
And I also have another new addition to my site - a Feelin' Fabulous spot each Thursday.  I wanted to have a place to share  little things from many aspects of our lives that we can ponder, change, or improve.  Imput and comments most welcome!!  Check out the blog Thursdays (and every day!  :)
 
I now have all the details for the Stamping and Scrapbooking Cruise!  See here and/or email me for a flyer.  Registration is ending soon!
      
Please continue reading for more promotions and tips!
 
 Warmest Regards,

Q & A:
How do I Tie the Perfect Bow? 

Tree Trimmings Flippy Album

 This is one that I get asked nearly every class.
 
I myself have just learned one of the many ways to tie a nice bow, as you can see above.  Yes, I did that all by myself.
 
Here's a good video I found on how to tie the bow.
 
And here's one that I did on how to tie a neat knot, which is my "bow" of preference 9 times out of ten.
 
However, in the above album, I couldn't get away with a knot for a closure!

Boho Blossoms Punch 
 
Scrapbook corner
  
  . . . . Another way to use that punch
 
Click on the photo for the full post
 
  
Would you ever guess that was a flower punch up above?
 
But yes, it is.  That tree (Trendy Trees) has been "cut out" using one of the flower images from the Boho Blossoms punch.  I thought I should bring this up again since that punch is on special for 12 more days.
 
Clever, isn't it?
 
Which just brings up the possibilities - our flower punch is no longer just flowers.  What else can we cajole it to be?
 
Try cutting your punched images in half, in thirds, layer them up - see what songs and dances they can do!
With love and best wishes,
