Miss You Travel Card – Stampin’ Up! Project

Hello There,
It’s a bit rainy outside so I decided to hold up in my stamping room to create this little masculine number.  I, like most, struggle with masculine cards, but I think I pulled it off this morning.  What do you think?
You can find the supply list and how to the get the tutorial for this project free or by purchase below.
A little reminder, today is the last day to get into this round for the Mystery Hostess drawing  for a chance to win $120 in Stampin’ Up products and to get this period’s tutorials (8 in total) shown below for free.  A new period starts tomorrow.

*****************************

Chick Update

It’s been pretty laid back around here of late.  The chicks are getting big. I can’t believe they are 6 weeks old today.  I was hoping they would be big enough now for them to move to the big coop with the big girls, but they still look so very small in comparison with my full grown hens, so we will wait a couple of weeks.
The chicks now have a play area fenced off in the chicken run where they can be their little chicken selves in the fresh air without the big girls getting to them.  This also give the big girls a chance to get use to the idea of the little ones moving in.  So during the day that has been the chicken arrangement.  At night the chicks get moved to the garage where they sleep in Luke’s old dog crate.  I’ll be glad when everyone is all together so I don’t have to clean an additional coop and move chicks twice a day.  🙂  Every time I move them I whisper to them that they better be good layers, lol.
I still haven’t named any of them so I’m taking suggestions.  🙂

Fall Stampin’ Up! Banner

Hey There,
I’ve been having some fun this morning creating this Fall Banner.  I think I’ve caught the banner bug.  I’ve got plans now for Winter, Spring and Summer banners.   Hmmmm, maybe birthday, St. Patrick’s Day, Valentines. . . . . . my list is getting longer and longer, but I’m so excited!
This banner came together in 2 hours, start to finish, with the help of the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit (1330507).  I made this banner and have plenty of left over materials to create another banner.  Plus, I see the stencils from the kit coming in real handy for future projects.  Very useful kit indeed.

Stampin’ Up! Founder’s Circle 2013 Highlights

Arrival

Hey there,

If you didn’t know already, I have been enjoying myself immensely at the Stampin’ Up! Founder’s Circle Retreat.  This is my 3rd time earning the retreat by being one of the top 1o0 in the company and Stampin’ Up! rewards us with the most wonderful trip to St. George, Utah where we totally have an entire hotel to ourselves and get pampered and showered with gift.  What more could a girl want, it’s fabulous!

This is my last evening here so, I thought I would share some of the highlights of the trip with you before I head home tomorrow.

This trip is all expense paid and they flew us all in on Wednesday.  We arrived got settled in and then had a fabulous dinner and received our first gifts.  Note:  I’m unable to show a lot of the gifts because we were given product that has not been introduced to the public yet.  It’s going to kill me to keep it under wraps.

Our doors were marked with our names.  🙂

 

When we picked up our name badges we were told which team we would be on and we had to search out our team mates so we could get a prize.   The teams were given candy names.  Above you see the Malt Balls.   Our team rocked!

Shelli’s Daughter Sarah gave us a warm welcome over dinner.

Pillow gifts were left for us each night and they were wrapped in such great containers and all embellished.

 

Shari Peters with me showing off our DSP prize.

The retreat was done in a western theme so everyday we got to toss a horse shoe to win prizes.  Get a ringer and you win 3 prizes.  Get close and you win 1 prize.  I got a ringer on the first day, woohoo!

They had a lounge where we could check out sample boards, sit, visit and eat any kind of snack we could possibly hope for and do make and take projects with brand new products.

Me enjoying the trail mix buffet.

Lots of these tubs everywhere, treats, treats and more treats.

We had plenty of time for shopping and boy does St. George have shopping!

(Diane Gibbs and Shari Peters in the swap line)

Check it out, we had a PJ party and 120 demonstrators lined the hallways and swapped cards.  I’m coming home with some rocking cards!

 

Friday morning we were off to have a tour of Stampin’ Up’s factory.  When our buses pulled up in front of the factory all of the staff were out in front cheering for us and giving us high fives.  It brought tears to my eyes.

Inside the factory we got to watch as card stock was cut and packaged, stamps were made and packaged and ink pads were made.  Really we got to see everything and were given product, product and more product, right off the press.  Also, got sneak peeks of some of the not yet released stamp sets.   Oh, hold on to yourselves, they are out of this world!

A little photo op with Sarah in the up stairs apartment.

After the tour we got to do some make and takes and then have a wonderful grilled lunch with the employees.

Had a photo taken at the Stampin’ Up! Rock.  Just had to do it!

Then we stopped at the park that Stampin’ Up! donates rubber to for underneath the playground equipment.  It’s awesome and very bouncy to walk on.  Some of us were looking for pieces of stamp images in the rubber that we recognized.

On the bus, we were asked our opinions of some Stampin’ Up! matters and then played Bingo and I won 3 times (more product).

Saturday was our final event.  We were loaded on buses and taken on a top secret journey.  We did not know our destination until we arrived at a ranch.  Here is my team the Malt Balls getting a hayride in to the ranch.

We competed and learned archery,

Roping, whew, look at me swing that rope, lol.

duck racing, which got really competitive, lol.

Photo opts with cowboys, corn maze, milking a cow, horse shoe toss, etc, etc.  It was so much fun!  Guess what, for each event, more prizes (product) for everyone.

At the end of the day we were given a wonderful BBQ dinner and sung to by a couple of cowboys.

The scenery was so very beautiful, but alas, it was time to go.

Well I’m completely exhausted and ready to jump in the sack for some shut eye.  I have to try to get everything in my suitcase tomorrow morning and head to the airport for a day of travel back to Ohio.
