So the final Deal of the Week is our fun Heart to Heart Punch - shown on page 187, item #28. It's regularly $15.95, but this week (through Friday) it's only $10.99! If you don't already have it, now's a great opportunity to add it to your punch collection! I reach for mine often. Order it here.
Ok, so planning time has completely gotten away from me this month! I've got the projects for this class planned, but not fully prepped, and I still need to polish up and print your reference handouts. AND, most of all, I haven't had sufficient lead time to let y'all know the details of the class!
So here's the scoop: I'm going to postpone this class (originally scheduled for tonight, Friday evening) until tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 10:00 am..... and then will repeat it Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm. And then I'll do it again in its entirety in August, too. (Date not yet determined.) But if you can fit it into this weekend, that will be best. I can take up to 5 people per session. And be sure to bring your Big Shot if you have one! (Along with any questions or puzzlements you may have, too.)
This class includes a complimentary handy reference chart to assist you in putting together the various "sandwiches" for your dies. You'll also learn how to make a scallop envelope large enough to accommodate a gift card (you've probably noticed the pesky things just don't quite fit, but I'll show you how to "cheat" that), and you'll see some new tricks for your Top Note die, and several other "out of the box" tips, tricks, and ideas, too! Four (4) make & take projects in all!
There's no charge for this class if you have purchased (or earned) your Big Shot through me; otherwise, $6 materials fee if you do not yet own a Big Shot (or got it elsewhere)...... (or $5 for current Stampers 30 Club members).
Give me a quick call or email if you'd like to come - and I'm sorry for the late, late notice!
Good news about Bermuda Bay: progress is being made! We should be able to start ordering the Classic pads and refills on July 29th. If you have already paid me for them I will place an order for yours automatically at that time. Otherwise, if you've been holding off and waiting to order - it's almost time!
A large selection of my retired stamps & supplies became available for last year's hostesses to choose from last weekend at my Hostess Appreciation Party, and since then several other people have come to pick, too. But I've still got 60-some stamp sets, and dozens and dozens of individual stamps left (individuals are priced from $1 to $6)..... along with a selection of papers & a few other items as well.
I will keep these out on display and available through this upcoming weekend before they go back into storage in the garage. If you would like to come take a look before that happens, call for an appointment!
Hurray! GREAT NEWS! Turns out my computer issue was nothing more than a dead power supply! Not that that's really so wonderful, but oh, how much worse it could have been; my stomach nearly hit the floor when the guy proposed the possibility of it being the motherboard! (Translation: new computer.) So by comparison I was happy to shell out the $60-some bucks for a new power supply and bring the 'puter home on only the 2nd day. Somehow my desktop icons got themselves all scrambled up, but I've just spent the past couple of hours rearranging that, and after downloading almost 100 emails I think I'm ready to get back to work!
So first order of business is to get the Deal of the Week #4 published - in case there's anyone left who hasn't dug around and uncovered it elsewhere. And it's another GREAT deal this week: Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware - for almost $11.00 off its regular price! If you haven't yet sprung for this fun set of embellishments, now is definitely the time to do it. But make sure you get your order in by Sunday, July 26th, though!
Well last week it was my printer giving me grief; this morning the computer won't turn on. So methinks I see a trip down to the computer doctor in my daily plans. But in the meantime I just wanted to ask y'all to please "call" me (vs. email me) if you need to reach me these next few days. I *will* still try to look at emails once or twice a day, but it's a pretty agonzing process with my antique laptop that THOUGHT it had been released out to pasture. Consequently, I expect to probably be very selective about which messages I open, and I wouldn't want to accidentally miss YOURS! So please call instead; my phone # is in the banner at the top of the page. (If you're reading this by email subscription, you'll need to actually go to my blog to view that.)
And please wish my computer a speedy recovery; I had a real heavy week of computer work scheduled!
Every summer I host a party exclusively to honor my workshop hostesses of the past year. It begins with a hand-stamped invitation in the mail - usually something a little out of the ordinary....... and hopefully an idea that most of 'em haven't yet seen. The invitation provides the first clue to the color scheme I've chosen for the event; this year's festivities were centered around my favorite new In Color, Rich Razzleberry.
One of the elements I always enjoy most about this special party is the presentation of awards. I generally have 2 categories: Olympic Circle honors and "Top 3 in total workshop sales". A hostess qualifies for my Olympic Circle by hosting a workshop of $500 or more in sales. A $500 workshop is a bronze workshop, $750 in sales gets a silver, and a workshop of $1000 or more in sales qualifies for gold!
The 3 awards on the far right are bronze awards, while the larger award to their left is ready for this year's gold hostess. (Somewhat surprisingly, there were no silver workshops this year.)
These awards to the left are ready for the 3 hostesses with Top Total Workshop Sales. This category takes into consideration a hostess's total workshop sales during the year, so that if she hosts more than one workshop during the year (July 1 through the following June 30), the sales from all of them can be combined to qualify for this award.
I'll announce the winners' names in an upcoming posting, but in the meantime don't forget that this upcoming fall season is going to be a fabulous time to host a workshop! If you know anyone with young kids (or grandkids), August will be an awesome time to have a workshop....... and all the months after that (through December), will have the Holiday Mini Catalog available, too! Email me right now and let's reserve a date for you and your friends so you can join us at NEXT year's hostess party!

If you subscribe to my updates via email delivery, please be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of each message to make sure you're actually viewing each article. Sometimes I post more than one article in a 24-hour timeframe, and then when your email message delivers, the most recent post will be at the top, but the older ones (but still within the same 24-hour timeframe) are appended below it. I have become aware that some of you didn't realize that, and some email subscribers have missed some of my posts by not scrolling all the way through the incoming email message.
BTW, if you're not yet a subscriber to my blog and it would be convenient to have my articles delivered to you automatically, there are 2 ways to sign up for that service over in my left-hand column. And both methods are free!
