Halloween Wreath

Before you know it, Halloween will be here.   Do you know that Halloween is the second most decorated season, next to Christmas ... with that in mind


Here's a super cute Halloween Wreath kit being offered by Stampin' Up!  


You can order the kit from our new holiday catalog after August 28th by 
(item #135866 - $26.95 plus shipping and taxes),
OR you can have me order one for you for only $30 (a $1.65 savings)  and come to my home anytime between these hours on

 Tuesday, September 23rd from 3-8 p.m. 
OR
Wednesday, September 24th from 1-5 p.m.

and we can have a party and make them all together.   Please allow about two hours to complete the projects.  They are easy and fun ... and it comes with a fun spider to make and attach (see below).

 
If you would love the wreath but don't want to make it, let me know.  If you are local, I will make it for you for only $35 total.  If you are not local, there will be an additional shipping and handling fee.  We will have to discuss that!  
 
CHECK OUT THE HAND-MADE BRADED SPIDER (above)!
(This wreath is really awesome in real life!)

Please email me at bzstampin@live.com and let me know your preference.   Would love to have you join me on the 23rd or 24th for some fun!  Of course there will be other fun Halloween ideas I will share with you, too!!!
 
Deadline to order a kit from me and RSVP for party ($30 option) is

SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

(If you would be unable to come at the last minute you would simply pay and receive the kit to make at home.)

Happy Anniversary to Me!

I just realized that today is my 5th Anniversary of signing up with Stampin' Up!   Wow ... where does time fly ... and WOW how many wonderful friends and stampin' buddies I've met in five short years.   If you would have told me 10 years ago when I was a full time Realtor in Pennsylvania that in ten years I would be "retired" from real estate and stamping for a living, I would have told you you were crazy ...

A great day today in the Stampin' Up! world.   The retired list is out AND ...

Retired List Coming Out Monday

It's almost that time of year for Stampin' Up's new catalog to come out .... June 1st.  This coming Monday, April 21st, they will be putting out their retired list.  All items on the list will be "as supplies last".  So check back on Monday for the list.  If there are items on the list you can't live without, be sure to get an order in asap before they're gone for good.  You can either order online or email me your order.

If you need a cute, quick Easter favor, here's one for you.  Simply cut a piece of DSP (orange) 6×6".  Fold in half to make a triangle.  Unfold and fold sides down to center fold line (like we used to make kites).  Fold bottom point back.  Use red tape to secure the carrot box.  Cut a 4x6" piece of green cardstock or DSP.  Horizontally cut slits to form the stalks.  See photo, may make more sense.  Fill with Easter candy ... and have a very Happy Easter!
