Come and bring your dish and the recipe, then taste all the other dishes and write down your favorites.Even if you have never come to a Stampin Up! class before this is a good one to start with. No stamping required. Just a need of recipes and an appetite to try lots of yummy food. See page 8 of the mini book to see what we will be making. It is adorable and I can't wait to make this with everyone!!

March 28th - Continue to fill you keeper 10/10/10 Class. The 10/10/10 class is probably one of my favorite classes! For this class we will be making 10 cards that take less than 10 minutes to make and the class fee is $10.00! Reservations and payment is due by March 24th.

New in 2010!

2010-01-21T20:36:00.000-05:00

It is hard to believe that January is almost over! 2010 with Stampin Up! is going to be very exciting. To start off, Stampin' Up! is going CLEAR!! That is right - acrylic blocks. This is the first time that I have used them but I am in LOVE! In the new Occasions Mini Book and the Sale-A-Bration Book you have the option of ordering wood or clear stamps.

Another thing that Stampin' Up is changing is their punches. They are going to be a different design that will allow them to store easier. There are lots of new punches in the Occasions Mini Book and an adorable punch only available in the Sale-A-Bration Book!

The Occasions Mini is good from January 5, 2010 to April 30, 2010. The Sale-A-Bration book is available from January 5, 2010 to March 31, 2010. Sale-A-Bration has to be one of my favorite times of the year. When you place a $50.00 order (before shipping and tax) you get anything out of the Sale-A-Bration book for FREE!!! This year Stampin' Up! has also included selected stamp sets from the big book to get for FREE!

I am excited for 2010!! Mom and I are working on some really fun classes with lots of new ideas. If you have any ideas of classes please let us know.

Thank you all so much and I hope to see you soon!
