Bloomin’ Bouquet Information:
 
Mother’s Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There’s no watering, no weeding—just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon, or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.
 
As if that weren’t enough, the kit contains a “baker’s dozen”! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn’t normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you’d like to give a little “thank you” to—and introduce them to Stampin’ Up!

Greetings from Fiji!   Jim and I are having an awesome time.  :)   It is so nice to see the sunshine, the green and the flowers.  Smells wonderful.  Our communications may be limited but, I do want you to hear about a special – limited time offer from Stampin' Up! that starts Monday in the United States.  (It is 9:30am Monday in Fiji as I am posting this).  I can't get a picture to post but, I am hoping you can go to the Stampin' Up! website to see this – because it is soooo cool!   I know I will be purchasing several!

Blessings!

This is the PERFECT time to get your home workshop scheduled – or bring a group of friends to a class at my stampin' studio.  Who couldn't use a free shoppoing spree?   Especially with this catalog soon going away – and don't forget the spring catalog with all of its fabulous products is ending too!

Oh, and you've been thinking that you want to join my team and have the fun, extra money and benefits that being a part of the Stampin' Up! family has to offer?   Well, there's a deal for you too!   Get an extra $30 in your starter kit – that's right.  Choose $155 in Stampin' Up! merchandise of your choice!  Get what you've always wanted – and at a time where you can get from the current catalog – before it retires and you'll be one of the first to see the new catalog and all of the super cool new things it has to offer.

I'll be at the Sweet and Sassy Saturday at Dugarel's in Hastings next Saturday from 11am-3pm.  I'll have gifts and a super special (hint;  it's in honor of tax day and that Jim and I are leaving for FIJI compliments of Stampin' Up! in a week and a half!)

Blessings!

Day 2 and lots of my customers are taking advantage of the Free Shipping promotion.  Several of them are using this promotion to get the retiring cardstock, inks and ink refills they love.  Here is a picture of the retiring colors as a reminder. 

If you order online this weekend – there is no minimum shipping – it's FREE!   If you want to order through me, use this hostess code for a free gift from me!  YU3CWB23.   Remember your order can still be sent to you! 

On another note – my computer is back again!  I am sure hoping it is all better after several trips to the Dr and one major surgery!  It has been painful not having a reliable computer – and my posts have certainly suffered.  So sorry about that.  Hang in there – I will get my photo editor reinstalled and hopefully be back online tomorrow. 

Blessings!

Starting tonight through Monday. stampinbj, Up! Is offering free shipping on all orders of any size! can be shipped directly to you. It,s the perfect time to stock up at a discount. And don’t forget to order those retiring colors that you love including the card stock, ink and ink refill! Give me a call if you have questions or need advice.

So me computer is back in the shop. I sure hope to begin regular posting soon. . I am going to be experimenting with an iPad. Oh boy. . . We,ll see how that goes. I felt like I needed something reliable as look what came from the man in brown the week! Yes our travel documents foe Fiji! Aren’t they cute? Thank you to my wonderful customers and North Starz team.

I am soooo grateful that I work for a company as wonderful as Stampin' Up!   Today, they announced several PHENOMENAL things.  Make sure you read this post – TO THE END!!!

To say that I am excited to have these colors stay or come back is an understatement.  I was getting sad about loosing pool party, wisteria wonder and calypso coral.  Then the announcement that they are staying – and some of my past favorites coming back – OMG!!!   Take a look at these colors – they are the HOT, on trend colors in the stores right now.  I love working for a company that stays on the top of these important details in a crafters life. 

These colors will be available starting June 1 when the new catalog debuts.  Just so that you can reserve the date for me. . . I will have my open house on June 1 – it will be;  "out with the old and in with the new!"  And the retiring list starts on June 24!   So, here's the new color collections; 

You should have seen my happy dance – it wasn't the dougie or what ever that other popular dance thing is but, it was pretty cute!  

So, here is the other BIGGGGG  news.   How would you like some FREE shipping to stock up on what you need before this catalog goes away?   Wellll.   Your wish is GRANTED!    Yep – for THREE days – Free shipping on everything!   Yep, order online.  No minimums required.  Call and order with me – Free shipping!   Order with your friends – free shipping – and maybe hostess benefits for you!         Starts Saturday at midnight and ends Monday at midnight!!!   ORDER HERE! 

For all new orders over $25 placed with me or online this weekend during the free shipping promotion, you will receive a stamped gift in the mail from me!   That's Free shipping PLUS!  and the best kind of gift – a handstamped one. 

Blessings!

There are soooo many exciting things, make sure you check it all out! 

Only for a few days!!!!  And while supplies last!   Get your favorites.  Quality fabric and a huge discount!

Make sure you enter for a free trip!  No gimmicks!  I'd love to have one of my customers win!

Lastly, I am super excited about this product line.  Smash books have been very popular as of recent.  I think it is because so many of us have so little time and we have more than just pictures we want to share.  Smash books are really a cross between a journal and a scrapbook.  Small, easy, add a ticket stub, a kids art project, a note from a friend, etc.  and you ares set.  I can tell you that I ordered several of these and plan to give a couple away as gifts.  One for my daughter who is a great writer (recently publised a book) and is on a personal journey right now.  My other daughter is going to get one as she is planning a wedding and they are moving into a house at the end of April. 

I am also planning on taking one with my on my trip to Fiji (compliments of Stampin' Up!) at the end of April.  What a great way to journal a vacation and log tidbits and stories as I go!  I can't wait.

On another note, the computer is back.  All my programs have to be reloaded (ugh) and I have duplicates and some lost items but, I have a computer with a new hard drive.    Give me a few more days to catch up and I will be posting pics of some of the super projects I have been making.

Blessings!

Don't let this be you!!!!   It happens every year.  And with Sale-a-Bration ending on something other than the end of the month, I want to make sure you are well reminded.    

I have one more class this week – Thursday Chicks, Chocolate & Cards. at 6:30pm.  Of course you can always order online or give me a call too! 

Blessings!
