Office Accessories Class--Monday

The fun and trendy office supplies class is Monday, and I still have supplies available for a few more people. Call me or email ASAP if you'd like to attend. It's all this plus extra folders for $30. It would be a great gift or a way to totally redo your desk. I know whenever I get new office supplies it MAKES me want to organize!

Fox and Friends!

It's the last few weeks of the Occasions Mini! Don't miss this fun stamp set with all the cute animals. I got it because Ellen really liked it (yes, my girls stamp with me lots of the time!), but I have really come to love these sweet images too. This set is on page 31 of the mini and is available in wood ($18.95) or clear
$14.95).

Trendy Trees on Sale!

Back in the Fall and then again in late January I had a class where the stamp set Trendy Trees was included in the class fee. So many people loved that class. If you missed the class, but still like the stamp set, now is the time to buy it! Stampin' Up! is offering 4 "spring" stamp sets for 20% off and Trendy Trees is one of them! The sale price of Trendy Trees is $14.36. The card on the right is a sample of Trendy Trees.

These cards were made as a "thank you" to the ladies that attended the January class. That date ended up being an event at the girls' school so everyone came early and stamped fast. As a "thanks" for the hassle, I made them two additional cards. The one on the left uses Season of Friendship...I kept with the tree theme.

The other stamp sets that are on sale are Greenhouse Garden (p. 94) for $20.76; Fifth Avenue Floral (p.98) for $19.96; and Flower Fancy (p. 101) for $29.56.

Happy Easter!

Here are some Easter treats I made for the kids at church to celebrate after they did their puppet performance. I wrapped the small tube containers of M&Ms, put a butterfly on top of a bottle of bubbles and topped a cello bag filled with sidewalk chalk. I put all that in the Fancy Favor Box that had been rolled with Easter eggs. The box went in a larger cello bag and I tied the bags with different colored ribbons. It all looked very cute and festive! I love to do party favors...stay tuned for a later post where I'll show the latest favors I made for a baseball party!

Bailey's Birthday!

Bailey's birthday party was so much fun! Nikki made the cutest cupcake cake and popcorn in Bailey's favorite colors. Of course, we had to make the toppers for the party favors to match. Green Galore and Pink Passion together are so bold and bright for a little girl party! If you'd like party planning made easy, feel free to contact us! Tell us a theme and we'll get to work. Nikki does beautiful cakes and I can make invitations, thank you notes, memory pages, and party favors to coordinate.
