Beloit, WI Business Women's Luncheon Article - Stampin' Up!

Well, I just got a call from my husband that someone told him I was featured in the Beloit Daily news today.  I totally forgot that someone from the paper had asked me a few questions at the women's luncheon about my Stampin' Up! business and then took my picture.  So I did a quick search since we don't get the paper and see what I found.

Beloit Business Women's Luncheon Article

It is a nice little article.  Too bad I need to learn how to smile better for a newspaper article.  I have just a little too much of a smile for the picture.  Oh well, at least you can see some of the fun projects that I had on display at my booth.

Thanks for letting me share my 1 minute of fame.  If that is what you want to call it.  Anyways, it was a nice surprise.

New Decor Elements

I know you can't believe you are getting two posts today, but I just had to share this fun project and the last one was simply to let you know about my e-mail sign up box.  Anyways, I have to say I absolutely love the new Decor Elements.  This was so incredibly easy and I can't wait to try out more things.  I have quite a few little things that I'm going to apply the vinyl images to.  I did mess up slightly because I didn't realize it sticks immediately.  It started to grab and there was nothing I could do.  Anyways, it is just a small crease, but now I can give advice to all my customers when they do their own. 

I'm doing a home Decor Element open house on July, 22nd from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at my house.  Come and check it all out and make a free card in the process.  If you live in the Rockford, IL area (I'm actually in Roscoe, IL) I would love to have you join me.  Please e-mail or call me for more details.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!!!

Having fun in New York City

Okay, my husband and I were able to check out New York City yesterday.  We got on a bus that took us around the town.  Then we were able to take a boat around the Statue of Liberty.  That was really cool.  This is the first time for both of us to visit New York City so it was kind of fun to check everything out.  Unfortunately, I just haven't been feeling well.  My poor husband was so worried about me because I was pure white after our boat ride.  My stomach definitely wasn't dealing well with everything.  I think it is a combination of my medicine and just not feeling well.  I hope the cruise ship isn't going to be moving too much or this could really be an interesting trip.  Anyways, I figured I would give you a little information on our trip.  I've got a couple of cards to post while we are gone and I may even be able to share a few pictures.  I can't wait to get pictures of all the samples on the boat.  There are always a ton of ideas that are shared by other demonstrators and I always walk away with some new things to try.  So stay tuned and I'll try and keep you posted on the latest trends.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a great day!!!

Door Prize

Okay, I just got home from setting up a booth at the Boone County Fair.  If you live in the area I hope you will stop by and say Hi!  This is the door prize that I put together for the fair.  I'm actually sharing the booth with other members of my group so when it is my shift I provide the door prize.  Anyways, if you would like the chance to win the prize stop by on Wednesday or Thursday before 6:00 p.m., Friday 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. or Saturday from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.  Of course, you can stop by anytime and register for whatever door prize is available during that shift.

Included in the basket is a coverd notebook, bundle of cards with envelopes, decorated candle and then I put some cute labels on the body lotion and body wash.  I think it is a basket that anyone would enjoy winning. 

I hope to see you at the fair.  If you don't live in the area, just use the idea to come up with your own cute basket for an upcoming gift.
