Workshop Fun!

Well the Convention has been over for a week and it was a week of tons of work! I worked non stop on getting my long distance club orders out, my paper and ribbon shares and also on reorganizing my Craft room. {When I am finished I will show you photos}  Oh yes, I also had a Workshop at my home. I hold a class once a month at my home so if you live in the Dallas area and would like to join me check on the right side of my blog for my schedule and contact me!

We always make 3 items and this is what we made on Saturday


I actually did 2 classes that day on the same thing! I only like to take 6 at a time so they have more individual attention and I needed space for 7 so  I split them up. It ended up only being  6 so I guess I could have done it all together. Here is the morning group.

My sweet neighbor Linda


My wonderful, true blue customer friend, Lori, who makes every class and is always in one of my clubs!  Paula came for the 1st time and did a wonderful job! She found me through Stampin' Up, after stamping at her mom's out of town. What a sweet girl! We loved having you, Paula! Paula is going to Skype with her mom and show her the cards we made! Did she like them Paula?


Barb T. What a fantastic artist. She helped us with our coloring. I met Barb T. from the Message Boards! I am glad you started coming to classes!


And then there is me, Barb G, looking very tired after my crazy week. I am showing how I have an image of the snowman stamp on my hand!



Round 2 started at 4 and Amy and Maria came. It was a smaller group but we had fun!
I met Amy, at my daughter's Horse Show last month. It ended up that she recognized me from a blog post I made about a year and a half ago! How she recognized me I don't know because it was so hot at that horseshow that, my hair looked like a dandylion that day!

Amy

Marie, ah sweet Marie! Marie hung around afterwards till about 8 and helped me clean up. I think we could talk for hours. I just met Amy and Marie a month ago but I feel like I have known them both a long time. Maybe because we all are "talkers" (no offense)  Probably because they are both addicted to Stampin' Up like I am!

Here is a photo of the Morning Group's Scalloped Circle Cards. Didn't they do a great job! I worked them hard!

They each chose whatever sentiment they wanted from the Curly Cute Stamp Set

After they left, I stayed up till 2 am and cleaned one of my 3 desks! I then got up at 6 am and spent yesterday rearranging my craft room and took out my largest work area. What was I thinking!! If I ever get it all cleaned up , I will show you photos! I just can't find the space now!

Well I hope everyone has a great week. What would make my week even greater is to help someone sign up to be on my Snowmanlover's Stamp Team! Don't miss out on the $99 Sign Up Special that is good for one week only!

Stampin' Up 2011 Convention Highlights/ Card Swaps

Hi friends,
I hope you have enjoyed my Stampin' Up Convention photos and have followed along all week.
For today I would like to share with you some of the card swaps. These are not the cards I gave or received but a few of the cards that my Canadian Demo friend, Cara received. We had a party in her room the last night and I took these photos.

 I have no idea who made them so I am sorry I can not credit them. Cara was in specialty swaps and got some gorgeous cards. Here they are. 















Here is Cara's Gorgeous Card! If you need a Canadian Demonstrator, please let me know!
Sorry photo won't turn correctly.


Well this is not a card, but check out this darling hat! Made by Carrie, I met her at a cute little breakfast place and asked to take a photo. She is so talented!



Don't forget, only 9 more days to sign up for the Stampin' Up Special Starter Kit

and Free gift!

Stampin' Up 2011 Convention Highlights/Shelli's daughters

Good morning, friends! Each day I am starting to feel a bit better from traveling.
I hope you have been following along all week to see some of the Convention Highlights.
Today I am going to share with you, some photos of the work that Shelli's daughter Sara did. I met Sara at Founder's Circle and just love her. Shelli's daughters are so sweet and down to earth, talented and so darn pretty!

Sara showed us this card in her stage presentation. It is so neat up close. Made with Big Top Birthday Designer Paper


Sara made these darling little gifts for her neighbor. She used our Letters to Santa Designer Paper


You can't see these very well but Sara had to do a presentation on "simple and easy". While it is not her style, look what she made out of one package of Big Top Birthday Designer Paper and a package of cards. I am going to do a workshop on this, How about it girls?


Shelli's daughter, Shalae' did a presentation and it was awesome. I always thought she was so shy. Here is a photo of shoes that her husband surprised her with. Those Gardner Girls sure have style!


Don't let July pass you by without signing up for our $99 special!!
