Classes for March!

Here are the classes for March. All of the classes will be at my house and will be at 2:00 pm unless otherwise noted.

March 7th - 3x3 cards - We will be making 3x3 cards and a little box to put them in. These cards are great for to give for birthdays or just as a little thank you. Reservation and payment is due by March 3rd. Class fee is $5.00. Remember to bring your adhesive.

March 13th - Club 150 Class - This month Diane Gatewood is the hostess and in honor on our hostess we will be playing with glitter!! This class is for Club 150 members only.

March 15th - Club 150 orders and payment is due!!

March 20th - Recipe Exchange Class - You're invited to a Recipe Exchange Party/Class at 1:00 pm. I can always use new recipes. I seem to rotate the same old recipes over and over. I think we could all use some new ideas. Stampin Up has introduced these stylish Recipe Boxes perfect for taking home all of your new recipes home in. The cost of the recipe box is only $30. Reservation and payment is due by March 15th.

In the box you will get one Magnetic Storage Box, 64 recipe cards, 8 divider cards, one cooking tip and measurements card, and 11 sheets of die cut embellishments. Then let me know what you plan to bring (is it a starter, salad, soup, side dish, main dish, or dessert?) I hope to get a variety of recipes for you to take home with you. 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.

I look forward to seeing you all soon and please let me know if you have any questions.

New in 2010!

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!
