Sweet seven

Not only is today the last day of sale-a-bration  btu it's also my friends little girls 7th birthday and we don't have many girlies in our family ( yet we'll see what happens in 5 months time) so it's a novelty playing with pink.

Any how   HAPPY BIRTHDAY TALIA !  :)

I used the three heart punch, the petal card punch and the bundle of love stamp set, the phrase is from crazy for cupcakes and  I used the typeset alphabet which is now retired because i can't decide which alphabet in the current catalogue i like best yet  I love them alllllll !!!

Thanks for dropping by,

Is crafting a big part of your life?

Is crafting a big part of your life? Wouldn't you love to earn money while doing something you enjoy? How about the convenience of setting your own hours? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then Stampin' Up! is the perfect opportunity for you.

Doing what I love, and sharing what I love with others are just a few of the benefits that made me decide to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I love sharing my passion for stamping with family and friends, meeting new people, and having the chance to build a great business doing so. I also get to set my own schedule and that is a definite plus!

Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrator starter kits are full of products that you’ll use immediately as you share Stampin’ Up! with your friends. Click here to see what's included in your kit and then check out the video below to see just one of the techniques you’ll be able to showcase with your new Starter Kit.

Demonstrators enjoy many benefits, including

• Product discount. Demonstrators get a 20% discount on all Stampin' Up! products, including stamp sets, paper, and accessories. It's a great way to support your love of stamping and paper crafting. 
• Extra income. You'll earn extra income based on your sales and recruiting--how much extra income is up to you. Maybe you just want enough income to pay the electric bill every month, or maybe your goal is bigger--the monthly payment for your new car--it's up to you! 
• Flexible schedule. This is your business, so you can put as much (or as little) time into it as you'd like! 
• Support from Stampin' Up! We love our demonstrators and it shows through our demonstrator support materials, including a monthly magazine, workshop ideas, and audio and video trainings on all kinds of topics on our Demonstrator Web Site.

Surprises in the post!!!

Look what i got in the post!!!

I just had to share because it made me laugh!!

This little package came from my friend and downline Hayley and although some might find the contents a little strange it was perfect!

I mentioned in a conversation how i've been craving vinegar and ketchup in copious amounts then a week later this arrived :)

And the tin is just gorgeous :)  Thank you Hayley!!!!

If you'd like to check out her original post with this little parcel in then just click on the link above or in the sidebar.  I'd love to know exactly how she got her tin to be quite so neat too as mine never look as tidy as that when i stick the base back on ;)

So hayley's Random Act of Kindness idea has given me some inspiration too, my downline girls randomly receive packages in the post from me as suprises..... so i might send a few to other people as well love the idea and it really brightened my day!

Thanks for dropping by!

Something sweet

little or no stamping to day  but alot of punching!

i thought i'd have a go at some allsorts personally i actually only like the pink ones and i don't eat the licorice  (yuk)  but they are pretty,

this took a little bit longer than i had thought it would but i hope the recipient likes it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi I'm still alive!

Hi I'm still alive!

Sorry for the lack of posts our computer died which is now fixed!  yay!  ( serious internet with drawl simptoms)

and a little announcement

As a few of you have known i've not been very well now for a few months and here's the reason why.......

a new baby!

I've been feeling pretty awful and wanted to hide in a hole for a while but i'm feeling a bit better now just in time for my Obstetric cholestasis (OC) which is a rare pregnancy condition that affects your liver and causes you to feel itchy, sometimes intensely so.   to kick in. which honestly really sucks!

(OC affects less than one per cent of mums-to-be in England)

The doctor isn't sure why i have been so ill already  but i'm hoping it can only get better.

So I'm in the process of clearing out my craft room ( insert sob)  making room in our tiny house for the new arrival who we never expected , and having a major clear out so look out for updates of my massive clearout sale..................

But don't panick!  i'm not going anywhere I love the Stampin' Up! products and being a demonstrator is one of the best decisions i ever made ( i may just need a couple of weeks when the baby is born, lol)

So coming up some cool craft projects which i have been working on...........

normal service shall be resumed shortly

see you soon

Abi
