a froggy celebration!

With the ending in VERY near site, the unfrogettable set is retiring, but before it does I wanted to share this card with you. I have to thank another fellow stamper for her video tutorial

I'm thinking this could be a technique used for a class - potentially for our Christmas in July card stamp-camp. Which is coming up. The plan so far is that we're going to be making 6 cards 2 each of 3 designs. The dates that are being debated are July 18th or the 25th. If you are in the Hamilton area and would like to join us, please leave a comment (include your email address) or just click here to email me.

fun gift idea!

I found a really cool idea on the internet and sadly I cannot for the life of me give the credit to the blogger that invented it - so I want to say thanks but {not sure to who!} ;)

For Christmas last year I made my son's teacher a personalized altered clipboard.

Since they only have 2 days of school left this week, I wanted to give her a little something to say thanks! She really helped to make Dawson feel welcome at his new school. A real "friend".

I'm planning to put a gift card in the pocket that has the 1/2 circle punched out of it. Just haven't decided which place to get the gift card yet! ;)

And of course a box of chocolates!

because of YOU!

I cannot even express how happy I am! Why? Because of YOU! :D

I just want to say thank you to my *new* friends (and customers) When I first talked to my hubster about joining Stampin UP! he was skeptical. It wasn't really because he was against it but he knows that I put a LOT of effort into it and I've been burned everytime I tried anything in the past. I guess you could say he was "protecting" me ;) aww...

Anyway, I told him this would be my one last try at a home based business and I took my time making my decision. I haven't for a minute regretted it! and it's ALL thanks to you!!

Thanks again everyone for helping me feel so ~loved!~ :)
