trying it again... :)

Ok, well, the first run didn't pan out, so we are going to try this again.  I will try to do better on the blog, so maybe, just MAYBE if anyone ever reads this, there will actually be something to read.  :)   Alas, tho, there will be no pictures tonight as it seems I have lost my adapter for the camera memory card.  I am absolutely sure it will be where I left it, unless one of the dogs had a little snack. 
I have been a Stampin Up demo for 9 months.  Wow!  I have done workshops, card classes in my home, a charity card making event with my upline and played with ALL kinds of cool new toys and paper.  It has been a great 9 months.  Maybe I will do it for another 9 months and see if maybe I like it.  :)
Soooo... I've been in a couple swaps these last few months.  One started back in November.  We mailed cards to 5 people once a month and in return got 5 cards back in the mail.  How fun to get some mail that is personal and beautiful.  The second swap was from a group I am involved with (on the outskirts, 'cuz I am not nearly as fun and funny as they are.)  We made cards and sent them to each of the members of the group.  A 'normal' swap would be to make 20 cards, send them to a 'host' and she would split them up and mail packets of cards to each member.  I think I like the individual cards the best.  As one of the group said, it was fun 'stalking' the mailman.  :)  I'm sure he enjoyed it too. 

WAYY cool, huh?   Yes, from the Tropical Party stamp set. 

Wow... lots to learn!!

Hi!

I have learned a very little about blogging and all the technical stuff. WOW... I have a LOT to learn. Lucky for me, there is a lot of help to be had from the wonderful Stampin Up Demonstrators. I've been playing with widgets... hahahaha.. widgets.. that's funny! I still have so much to try and figure out. Hopefully, it will get easier. I told Pat tonight that I wished I knew more about HTML, and he perked up. Uh, oh. :) Maybe I will hire him to do this!!

Ok, on to more important stuff:

You have GOT to check out the summer mini catalog! What a bunch of really cute stuff. I love the Tropical Party stamp set! You will probably be able to tell when I start uploading the pictures.

Tomorrow is Nickie's party! My first as a SU demo. Lucky for me I have Mary Brown as my Upline and she will take care of this one. I just watch and learn. :)

new blog

How fun is this? I'm trying a new thing. A BLOG. :) I'm hoping to work this into my new business -- I'm a Stamping Up Independent Demonstrator. I've been using rubber stamps for about 20 years and just finally made the plunge to share my passion with others and picked Stampin Up as the vehicle to do so. Hopefully, I will figure this whole blog thing out and make a go of it. Wish me LUCK!!
