Oh, Happy Day!!

Oh Happy DayI told you I absolutely LOVE this Retro Fresh Suite — the colors are fabulous.  Wednesday night was my Hostess Appreciation Party — this is a special night just for those that have been a Hostess with me during the past year.  I had a special gift for each attendee, we had a wonderful meal that I had catered by Rosati's in Woodstock — they do a great job (I highly recommend them) and then "Aunt Jewel" helped with some fabulous cakes for dessert.  After dinner we went to another room and the ladies got to stamp two wonderful cards — this beauty was one of them.

Wouldn't you like to join the fun at next year's Hostess Appreciation Party?  All you have to do is host a Stampin' Up! Party with me, place a "Book" Party (order over $150) or join one of my Hostess Clubs.  We start classes for Hostess Club in just over 2 weeks so if you are interested in joining or need more information just pop me an email and I'll answer any questions you have or I can get you signed up for one of my clubs or let's pick a date for a Sale-a-Bration Party.

Leadership Highlights

I have been in Houston the past 4 days for Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference. This is my favorite Stampin' Up! event each year. We get to do a little stamping, take pictures of lots of samples, get a sneak peek at some new products coming out, get business tips on better ways to run our business (yes, even though I have a ball doing this, it is still my business) and meet up with demonstrator friends we only see once or twice a year. We pack a lot into the three days of the conference.
There is lots of card swapping going on each day, this way we can get lots of samples to share with all of you. This year I participated in an organized swap — we all meet in one place at a specified time and swap cards. I made twenty of the card below and I received 20 wonderful samples. I will share some of the swaps in days to come, others may appear in future classes. I hope you enjoy my swap card.
