Why is all your own home projects take so long? It takes a year! Really it does. I have been working on a remodel of one of our bathrooms. Thank goodness we have 3! We started June of 2018, took a road trip after the demo, and I can’t remember anything else after that. Seriously, I can’t. Here we are June 2019 and the project is almost complete. Almost! My hubby and I both do the demo, he does allRead More→

You can use Any Die Cutting & Embossing Machine you want! That’s right use a Big Shot, Cuttle Bug, Gemini, Spellbinder, or Vagabond to name a few. Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the Big Shot in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, and yes, it is sad. But it opens a whole new world for us demonstrators. Think about your clients that are fighting arthritis, carpel tunnel, or tendonitis, etc. You can recommend an electric machine like the Vagabond orRead More→
I was checking out some info on my support Facebook page the other day and came across an interesting LIVE video. These lovely European demonstrators were doing a live video in three languages! English, French & German. I watched and learned a new technique! Always Learning Always Growing…that is a great motto. So here’s what I learned. To give your images some depth, use your stampin’ write markers or daubers. I took their information and passed it along in myRead More→

It seems that the harder I try the further behind I get! Where have I been? It’s not that hard to write a note, show a picture of what I’ve been up to, and include the ingredients to the projects. So, here goes…I have been going crazy trying to accomplish too much in too short a time and not getting anything finished. That’s where I’ve been. I gutted my spare bathroom last June, it is still unfinished! I have theRead More→
Perennial Birthday stamp set is so awesome! I am trying to focus on the beginner & casual stamper right now and this set is perfect for that. Check out this birthday card. I CASE’d (Copy and Share with Everyone) this from Pinterest and bumped it for the casual stamper as well. I used Thick Whisper White card stock as my card base (8 1/2″x5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″) and my stampin’ write 2018-20 In-color markers to color theRead More→
October starts a new year for all Stampin’ Up! independent demonstrators.

Here I go again! Feels like it has been forever since I have written a blog post. I just can’t seem to get a handle on this thing called life! I need to get under control! If it’s not the family pet, the hubby has an issue, the grandkids need something, or it’s a home project…So many things just keep me from doing what I love to do, but that is going to stop!!! So here is what is goingRead More→
Where have you been? Around…I promise to get more consistent with posting here. I am a retired person and shouldn’t be as busy I am. Not sure where all my time goes, but it does. Have you been losing time? I do all the time! Where have you been? I have been living life. There is grocery shopping, doctor appointments, house cleaning, repairs & maintenance things to do, TV shows to catch up on, some part-time catering to do, and aRead More→
