Hostess Appreciation Party

Last night I held my Hostess Appreciation Party.
This is a yearly event that I spoil everyone who
has been a hostess during the past year.
Some are club member, some held book parties
or placed their own party order and others held
parties with friends.

They each received a special invitation to the party.
I provided dinner (catered by Olive Garden — check it
out, it was awesome) and dessert.
Here is the table all set before anyone came in.
Food Set Up
A few have started to arrive and are checking out a little table favor.
Here they come
Thank you Erica Cerwin for the great idea.
Lipstick Pen
It’s a little pen that looks like lipstick.

They are Ready
It was hard to get everyone into the picture,
but here are some of them listening intently to my THANK YOU’s!!!

I passed out a card with a gift certificate inside
for each of them.
Here is the card I made (thank you Glenda Travelstaedt for the swap idea)
Thank you Card
Then they moved to another room and
stamped 4 cards using lots of new products.

It was a great time — you could be there next year!!
All you have to do is join my club — you can be
a virtual hostess too — email me now to find out how!!!

Avant Garden meets Succulent Garden

I love the Succulent Garden designer paper.
The colors are so soft and soothing to me.

Today I paired the designer paper with the
Sale-a-Bration stamp set — Avant Garden.
I really like the elegant, feminine feel of this card.

Have you checked out the Lace Doilies in the Occasions Catalog?
There are a must have — vanilla on one side — white on the other.
They have a soft look but they are a plastic material, very sturdy.
How would you like a package of the doilies FREE — all you have
to do is place a $50 order with me this week (Jan. 15 – 22).
I will pop a package of the doilies in the mail to you as a THANK YOU!!!!

Hey Chick!!

Hey Chick!! is one of this year's
Sale-a-Bration choices — you can earn it FREE
when you place a $50 order.
It is such a fun, whimsical stamp set.
This chick makes me think of my hair stylist, Tory.
I think that's what my hair looks like as she is
making me "beautiful".
Maybe she needs a few cards to put gift certificates
in for her clients, hahaha.

Hey ChickI pair the stamp set with the Succulent Gardens designer paper.
I am loving the color combos in this paper.

To finish off the chicks hairdo, I added some
Clear Wink of Stella for some highlights and sparkle.
