New Holiday Catalog has arrived!!!

Be sure to click on the link in the left margin about the new holiday catalog. It is a treasure for the eyes, filled with so many creative projects and the products that made them. This holiday catalog started August 1 and will run until January 3, so you have plenty of time to order and make your favorite holiday projects from there or come up with your own. How about making your own Christmas cards this year? They are not as hard as you think and given the price of postage these days, the card becomes the handmade gift you send to family and friends with love. Not a bad idea, huh?  You can click on my order now button in the right margin to start your first project right away.

I've worked with several direct sales companies and I can say by far Stampin' Up! is the most generous and easiest to work with. You've got a question, they will find an answer. You never get the run around.  Customer service is their TOP priority.  I hope you will consider this opportunity.

Forgot to post one more swap I did...  I'm pretty proud of myself how I figured out how to build a wooded stamp which gives the illusion that I just stamped that image. I thought this stamp image would be perfect for our Stampin' Up! Convention last week, don't you?  This is a hostess set called Carry On in the Annual Catalog.

Ronald McDonald House Charity

Stampin' Up! for 10 years has been a partner with the Ronald McDonald House Charities. During the past ten years over $1,000,000 has been raised by Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.

At Convention last week, Shelli Gardner (Co-Founder and CEO), issued a challenge to all the demonstrators there to promote the Moving Forward stamp set so that with each set sold $3 per set will go to RMHC. Then she surprised all those in attendance by giving away a free set to us. You will find it on the inside last page of the Annual Catalog.

So I encouage you to add it to  your stamp collection and help out this wonderful charity which helps ill children across the country.
