This weekend my sister, Tina Rappe, and I hosted Stampin’ Sisters Holiday Hoopla!!!! What is Holiday Hoopla you ask? The Holiday Catalog started on Wednesday and we wanted an event for demonstrators to come stamp and see all the fun new product suites and bundles. Well, we had a blast.
We started Friday night with a Shoebox Swap. We had 18 participants who brought kits for everyone to stamp and assemble. Everyone had a great time walking away at 10:00 p.m. with 18 different cards.
While they were stamping away, Tina and I put the finishing touches on the room for Saturday. Here is the room just waiting for 44 fun loving women.
Saturday morning everyone was greeted at the check-in table.
We had 6 presentations through the day — 5 of the 6 presenters did a display using one of the suites in the catalog.
Janice Weightman did a wonderful presentation on operating your business and time management.
Guess what my presentation was on—–yes, the Toil & Trouble Suite. This is a fabulous suite for making lots of 3-D projects (aka treat holder).
Kim Vogel came from Michigan to present for us. She did a fabulous job presenting the Country Lane Suite — I love this suite and it was definitely a hit.
Julie Davison came up from Champaign and brought a little snow with her — only paper snow. She presented the Beautiful Blizzard Suite. Her projects were great — I can’t wait to share some of them with you.
Then we went into stamping time. We had 10 cards and a framed art piece for everyone to make. We took a break for lunch and then started back up with two more presentations.
Katie Campbell (also my daughter) has a huge love for Christmas. As you can tell, she dressed for the occasion. Yes, she presented Christmas — Santa’s Workshop — and she loved every minute of it.
Tina finished up the presentations with the All is Bright Mega Suite. She wore a red shirt and a gold Christmas tree pin just for the occasion.
Once these presentations were finished they went back to stamping to finish up the rest of their projects. It was a fun filled night and day and I think all of the ladies in attendance are starting to get ready for the upcoming holiday seasons.
Come back tomorrow to see some of the fun cards and projects that were shared.
