The answer really depends.. I have always prided myself on helping my customers meet their crafting goals, within their budgets. Not everybody is able to get everything they want up front - and I totally get that. Life is expensive enough, and our hobbies don't always get the time and attention that we'd love to shower them with. <span><a name='more'></a></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course, the avid crafter in me wants to giggle, and rub my hands together and tell you all about the fabulous products that we carry, and how they are all designed to colour coordinate, and make your experience as easy as possible. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I would have no trouble showing you products and telling you about all of the wonderful things that you could create with them, and up-sell you on the wonders of our products without difficulty -- but let me share a little secret with you.. <i><b>You don't have to do it all on day ONE. </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I was first introduced to Stampin' Up! I had already been scrapbooking for quite a while. I had amassed a large collection of tools and supplies from a variety of sources and my family had taken to buying me pound of paper packs, and multi-packs of Provocraft paper DSP in multiples so I'd have lots to work with. I already had a paper trimmer, some dies and such. I was very cautious about diving right in and buying a pile more, and wanted to be smart about it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Looking at my craftroom today, you'd wonder where that girl went, but as I said.. not on the first day. LOL </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">My very first purchase was quite minimal. I had purchased a black stamp pad, a stamp set, and a spray bottle of stamp cleaner. At my demo's suggestion, I would later order a bone folder. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For the first while, I would stamp images and colour with markers, or pencil crayons. I used a lot of buttons for decorations, or as balloons and would draw in the strings. When I look at them now, I cringe a little but I'd been so proud of them back then. I still have one of the very first cards I ever made up in my craft room. I love showing newbies that we all started somewhere, and if *I* can do it, surely they can too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I still colour stamped images fairly regularly, and sometimes my grandkids will join in. The kids love to use (what they call) Grandma's "good markers," but they have plenty of supplies of their own too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I was going through treatments, I'd cut card fronts on white card stock, and bring them with my water colour pencils, markers, and sometimes pencil crayons so that I could colour while I killed time during my treatment. There really is something calming about colouring. When I'd get home, I could just add the card front to a backing, add some embellishments and I'd have many cards done in a flash. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I picked up a small carry case that was manageable and often picked a colour family, or pencil crayons to take with me because I worried that if I set it down someone might feel the need to relieve me of my goodies. Thankfully that never happened. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was also a great way to use up some of my retired card-stock, and paper and I have donated many cards to our local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to be used by their Sick and Visiting chair. They were always well received. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I started, we didn't have all of the wonderful all-inclusive kits that we do now - and I would strongly suggest that you start there as a beginner. If you decide that the hobby is not for you, you can gift the cards and move on without any kind of remorse. Whereas if you've dropped a boatload on supplies and decide you don't like it - well I suppose you could post them online or donate them to a worthy cause - but I'd rather see you not be filled with regret. This is supposed to be a GOOD thing.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.stampinup.ca/join?demoid=2063334" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwtGynpFqnp41-fpz56wZU3BXT2gzsoCGDf4MdWI4RYnu8c4vP6rkSrdH6vls4iZNpXkOg6mK9aPf6xxSC3CA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The very first thing I would recommend is that you decided what you want to make. Are you a scrapbooker? Do you want to make cards? Do you want to make 3-D boxes, and gift holders? You may want to do all of those things, but what you need to get started may vary somewhat. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For all options - you'll want to ensure that you have a pair of good scissors. I love our paper snips and wouldn't part with them - but you can start with any good pair of scissors. I would suggest that you test them on a scrap piece of paper before you ruin your coveted paper though -- not all scissors were created equal. At some point you will want to invest in a paper trimmer, but that can come later. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next would be adhesive. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">We offer several options, and I'll happily pull them all out for you to play-test while you're here. In a pinch, a simple kids' glue stick or white glue will do the job -- for now. You aren't going to enjoy that as much for finer projects, but it will certainly get you started. I like the fine tip on our multipurpose glue - it helps keep the mess down. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I would suggest an ink pad - I suggest something neutral like black or navy to start, and I recommend a bone folder. It will help you with creating crisp fold lines in your projects. In a pinch you can use a special technique to use a marker to colour on the stamp, and stamp to your project - and buying a pack of markers would get you more colours at once than a single ink pad. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">In a pinch you could go old school and use your kids' Crayola markers though that won't give you the benefits of coordinating products, it will get you started. That's the goal, right? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Though I have what my hubby likes to call a crafting warehouse, I will still pull out pencil crayons on occasion to colour in images. The plus side of colouring (whether with markers, blends, watercolour etc) is that you always get a different card - it's impossible to make the exact same card twice when you're creating by hand. I love it! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">You may want to pick up a stamp set, or </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">you can look at card stock and Designer Series Paper - purchase a colour you love, or a colour family that will give you more colours to work with. You will no doubt want some whisper white card stock as well. You might decide that you want to use our DSP, and not stamp at all - that's the beauty of paper crafting - you're in the driver's seat - you make what you would like. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you're attending classes, you'll get to play with some of that during classes and get a chance to get more familiar with what you like in person. Our catalog photos don't always do them justice. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As you get going, you'll find punches, embossing folders, dies, thinlets, and a variety of embellishments. We joke that for a while every time you look at the catalog, you will see something that you hadn't seen before. The struggle is real. LOL </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As we get back into the swing of things, I'm looking forward to doing some Card stock and paper samplers, ribbon shares, etc. That way you can sample a little bit of everything, and buy more of what you love best. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">More than anything, I'm looking forward to getting back to the crafting table with all of you! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>There's still time to get in on FREE Sale-a-bration picks!

Each hinges on the premise of a qualifying party being $200 before receiving hostess benefits. Some wanted a make and take project to inspire them each month, and others only wanted the products. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">My most popular options are usually a commitment of 6 months, spending $35 each month but your group of 4 patrons could easily spend $50 for 4 months or $20 for 10 months and achieve the same goal. Each month a different member gets all the perks and spoils of having been a hostess and you don't even have to get dressed up or clean your house! </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">You can join an already established club or gather a few friends and make your own. We can plan a monthly get-together. I usually plan it for after the orders have come in so you not only get "new stuff" but you have time to play with it right then and there. We can also arrange a virtual get together on Skype or Zoom or Facebook for you, or your group so that we can still enjoy each other's company while we create. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">We can also make a private group for members to share and inspire each other. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">For my in person clubs, I would normally advocate your purchase be in by the 1st or 15th of each month as the orders would come here and be packed and ready to go at the same time for everyone. For a virtual club that isn't as imperative, but the group should agree on a date so that the host for that month isn't waiting endlessly for their chance to choose their host perks. During your month, sharing your hostess code with creative family and friends across Canada is encouraged and helps drive up the amount you get in free shopping dollars. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b style="color: #800180; font-family: verdana;">Sign-ups for one of my upcoming clubs or reach out to start your own. </b></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b>6 month: December 2022 - May 2023 or January 2023 - June 2023</b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b>You commit to purchasing at least $35 per month for 6 months. </b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b>4 month: December 2022 - March 2023 or January 2023 - April 2023</b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b><br /></b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_4yxo" style="font-weight: 600;"><font face="verdana">Would you like to join our club?

It's funny how we can give ourselves whole-heartedly in the service of others but somewhere in there, we forget to take care of ourselves. It's time for a change. Some might say that it's long overdue. <span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">These past few years have been hard - harder on some than most but hard just the same -- it's not a competition. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I've dropped the ball here quite a bit, but I'm working hard to get that picked up and getting back to our previously scheduled programming as it were. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just when I was gearing up to get things going my laptop started blue-screening. My beloved teddybear decided he'd get me a new laptop for my birthday. In the middle of deliberating, my desktop machine bit the dust. A new power supply was in order, but it seems that's not all that went for the ride. So my office feels like it's limping along. </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">So now the case sits abandoned in its home with a jazzy new microphone and a webcam that was bought for it last year as we were planning to start doing some online classes.

The ad said it would be delivered by the 24th. You can imagine the enthusiasm when he checked last night and it said that it would arrive tomorrow. OH HAPPY DAY! </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It's perfect timing too! I was accepted into the Business Development group for Stampin' Up! and I'm gearing back up again. I've been plotting for a bit but we're long overdue for some action, some in-person craft sessions, and some virtual craft-along events. It's long overdue. I have missed you all! </div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My hubby and our son have been plotting for software and programs to help me shift things into higher gear. Hopefully, they'll also have a remedy for the gal who prefers to be behind the camera.

It feels like it has been so long since I got to run down to the cave and play I'm feeling like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. I'm calling it back to basics - simply because in many ways it feels like starting over. Don't worry, it's perfectly OK.

Don't want to host an event - Join the club! </p><p>Joining a club is a great way to break down your wish-list into more manageable bites. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Club can be arranged in a variety of ways depending on the members of the group that are participating. Each club is based on the premise of a qualifying party being $200.00 before receiving host benefits</p><p>I've done paper shares, marker clubs, Paper Pumpkin clubs, In Colour clubs, Die Cutter Clubs and even a Sale-a-Bration club. By far, my most popular club is the standard club with a 6 month commitment of 6 months, with each member spending $35 each. Each month a different member gets to be the host/hostess and receive all the perks and spoils of having hosted a party -- and you didn't have to clean, make snacks or clean your house for company! </p><p>The club is customizable depending on the group. 4 people could easily spend $50 for 4 months, or 10 people could spend $20 for 10 months and achieve the same goal. </p><p>You can join an already established club, or gather a few friends and make your own club. Once we're all able to get together again we can meet in person in my craft room like we usd to. In the meantime we can arrange a virtual get together on Facebook, Skype or Zoom for you, or your group so that we can still enjoy each other's company while we create. </p><p>We can also make a private group for members to share and inspire each other. </p><p>I've offered in person classes as well as Crop nights, with or without make and takes but we seemed to transition to a space where my patrons were getting busy and we gravitated to more of a virtual club, and some groups would come with their own projects in mind and didn't want the make and take. I'd started putting together goodie bags that I came to consider as challenge bags. One of my favourite things was seeing how each person would take the same supplies and create based on the contents of the package. It was a lot of fun. Those days feel like they were way too long ago. </p><p>For my in person clubs, I would normally advocate your purchase be in by the 1st or 15th of each month as the orders would come here and be packed and ready to go at the same time for everyone. For a virtual club that isn't as imperative, but the group should agree on a date so that the host for that month isn't waiting endlessly for their chance to choose their host perks. During your month, sharing your hostess code with creative family and friends across Canada is encouraged and helps drive up the amount you get in free shopping dollars. </p><p><b>Sign-ups for one of my upcoming clubs or reach out to start your own. </b></p><p>6 month: March 2021- August 2021</p><p>You commit to purchasing at least $35 per month for 6 months. </p><p>4 month: March 2021 - June 2021</p><p>Would you like to join our club?

Full stop. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Full stop.. to just about everything. Everything seemed upside down. I was a whole lot younger that first time that I was a full time parent. I'd forgotten how toys multiply in the dark, and how much it hurts to walk on Lego and so many other things. The way we look at so many things has changed, thankfully many have also stayed the same. Having said that, we were lucky - so many of our friends weren't able to see their grandchildren and here we were with two of ours full time. Despite the crazy, we cannot help but be grateful for this time. The two cousins have become so very close for getting to spend so much more time together than they might have, had they been at home. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've been feeling a little scattered, I'm not gonna lie. You'd think that getting to be at home that so much more of that honey-do list would be getting done, but it's exactly the opposite. Burning that candle at both ends while someone sets a campfire in the middle. We're all feeling rather burnt out and uninspired. It has been a challenge to carve out "me" time of any kind but I have been working on it, and for the last few months I've seen a difference. In amid the crazy, I have been plotting, collecting feedback and plotting. I cannot wait to share with you! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've been asked to get back at clubs, and to offer some kind of classes. I've been working on re-vamping my regular clubs, as well as the specialized clubs and product shares. I'm hoping to start doing some live crafting get togethers and perhaps some lives, or video card classes. Despite my job, this is still outside my comfort zone. I'm working on that though. Also on that list is being a better resource to my growing team. One of the many things that I've let slide. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> I've put in a couple of orders and have a great mix of sets, so I'll be featuring different sets monthly in hopes of inspiring us all to get back to getting ink on our fingers, and perhaps more importantly sharing what we are working on. I've been having fun creating graphics. I cannot wait to share them with you. I do have some Sale-a-bration projects that I'll be sharing posthumously since SAB ends today, but that's ok. I'd like to get back to my retired Sundays. This isn't all about sales (though they are great) more than anything it's about getting the gang back together and cranking out some crafty!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Someone once told me that the life expectancy of a paper crafter was about 2 years. At that point they've either gotten everything they feel they need and they stop shopping, they sign up to be a demonstrator themselves, or they move onto something else. I am lucky that most of my customers and friends have been with me since my early beginning, through 2 different uplines and many many of life's challenges. I am grateful for each and every one of you! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I think about the hurdles in the 20-some years since I became a paper crafter. They weren't all mine, of course, but they all took their toll. Getting to dig into a creative project is good for the heart and soul. It's even better when we can do it together! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stay tuned, great things are coming. :) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Until next time! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i>Stampin' Tam! </i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i>Has it been a while since you've taken a look at all we have to offer?

Each month there are a variety of alternative projects made with the monthly kits shared via Facebook and Pinterest if you choose to change things up! Add-on kits for additional supplies are often available as well, should you wish to create more with the current kit.</div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">There have been some pretty awesome kits in there ~ many that came with stamps that I continue to use on other cards long after the kit is done and cards were given away! </div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_4yxo" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Every month you'll receive a unique stamp set with an ink spot (that won't repeat a color in a 12-month period). In no time at all, you'll have a variety of stamps and ink to use on other projects. In addition, your first kit includes a free clear stamping block that you'll use every month.</span></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Subscription not for you?

Each hinges on the premise of a qualifying party being $200 before receiving hostess benefits. Some wanted a make and take project to inspire them each month, and others only wanted the products. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">My most popular options are usually a commitment of 6 months, spending $35 each month but your group of 4 patrons could easily spend $50 for 4 months or $20 for 10 months and achieve the same goal. Each month a different member gets all the perks and spoils of having been a hostess and you don't even have to get dressed up or clean your house! </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">You can join an already established club, or gather a few friends and make your own club. Once we're all able to get together again we can meet in person to create together. In the meantime we can arrange a virtual get together on Skype or Zoom for you, or your group so that we can still enjoy each other's company while we create. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">We can also make a private group for members to share and inspire each other. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="verdana">For my in person clubs, I would normally advocate your purchase be in by the 1st or 15th of each month as the orders would come here and be packed and ready to go at the same time for everyone. For a virtual club that isn't as imperative, but the group should agree on a date so that the host for that month isn't waiting endlessly for their chance to choose their host perks. During your month, sharing your hostess code with creative family and friends across Canada is encouraged and helps drive up the amount you get in free shopping dollars. </font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b style="color: #800180; font-family: verdana;">Sign-ups for one of my upcoming clubs or reach out to start your own. </b></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b>6 month: August 2020 - January 2021 or Sept 2020 - February 2021</b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b>You commit to purchasing at least $35 per month for 6 months. </b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font color="#800180" face="verdana"><b>4 month: August 2020 - November 2020 or September 2020 - December 2020</b></font></div><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; padding: 6px 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_4yxo" style="font-weight: 600;"><font face="verdana">Would you like to join our club?

It sure doesn't feel like it! </font></div><div><font face="verdana">At the time I was gearing up for chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. That seems like so long ago now, but the time has flown right by. </font></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I found myself chuckling a bit at how that particular week or so has had so many connotations and medical things around it. Both rounds of my cancer occurred in that time-frame strangely enough -- but this past October I was fortunate to be going in for surgery on my own terms with an amazing man. The first doctor since my gastric bypass that was willing to tackle the mess left behind. </span></div><div><font face="verdana">I had my surgery and was in the hospital for a week, made it home for one day, and then was back in the hospital with a wound infection for another week. During that time, our youngest daughter gave us the precious gift of a brand new granddaughter. Dezorae arrived later than expected, but we didn't manage to get her for Grandma's birthday. She'd been due on the 7th and we teased that Mommy needed to bake her 2 more short days til my birthday, but then she waited several more. A true testament and promise to her future independence. Good for her, already living life on her own terms. </font></div><div><font face="verdana">Our big giggle now is that Brayden arrived on Easter Sunday, and now Dezorae had arrived for Thanksgiving Sunday. I asked the girls to please let us know ahead of time which holiday they were picking next. I was in the hospital when our newest addition was being born. I was so happy when Mommy asked Grandpa to pick them up so I could meet her. Not the scenario I'd have picked, but she is such a precious gift. One look and nothing else matters. </font></div><div><font face="verdana"><b><i>We're not counting the knowledge of how much further behind I now am in scrapbooking.. LOL</i></b></font></div><div><font face="verdana">I was home for several months with home care, and a vacuum therapy on my wound to help it heal faster. After all the problems we'd had years ago with that vacuum experience, I was reluctant but they've come a very long way since then. </font></div><div><font face="verdana">Sadly, just when I was waving my pom-poms and gearing up to get back into things, celebrating being able to finally drive the new-to-me van that my hubby bought me prior to me going in for surgery. I got to drive it home, and once more after that before surgery took that ability away for quite some time, crafting, being able to lift more than 10 pounds finally among so many other things, March Break was upon us, and right on its heels Covid-19. </font></div><div><font face="verdana">We've had our 2 youngest grandkids since this all began. Each has at least one parent working front-line retail and they needed to be safe. The Ottawa area was going crazy at the time and few were social distancing. The girls made the ultimate sacrifice to have Grandma and Grandpa bring them home until things blew over. We had no idea we'd still be juggling them (and everything else) some 4 months later. It has been crazy. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XdSs4LOhumw/Xymw1_HKbnI/AAAAAAAATaw/mE8D8ZScAxwwWZtDGe7MrGKyf1t3O69SQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20191016_133152.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Grandpa and Dezi Visit Grandma" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XdSs4LOhumw/Xymw1_HKbnI/AAAAAAAATaw/mE8D8ZScAxwwWZtDGe7MrGKyf1t3O69SQCLcBGAsYHQ/w240-h320/20191016_133152.jpg" title="Grandpa and Dezi visit Grandma in hospital" width="240" /></a></div></font></div><div><font face="verdana">Brayden turned 6, and got to experience the strangest Easter and birthday he's ever had. Surprisingly he's got a better grasp of things than many of the adults we've seen. </font></div><div><font face="verdana">Dezorae met and surpassed many milestones and in just a few short weeks she hit 9 months old, learned to stand, to crawl, and cut 6 teeth! </font></div><div><font face="verdana">The kids have had more time together than they normally would have. They've become very close ~ my hubby keeps teasing that they're cousin-siblings. They both adore each other, it's a wonderful thing. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Pma7guO5v0/XymyCTHiVxI/AAAAAAAATa8/hDK6PIQoXE4Fcf5aTly8vkGozZxgYc9eQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1781/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_orca-image--93306180.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Cousin love <3" border="0" data-original-height="1781" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Pma7guO5v0/XymyCTHiVxI/AAAAAAAATa8/hDK6PIQoXE4Fcf5aTly8vkGozZxgYc9eQCLcBGAsYHQ/w194-h320/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_orca-image--93306180.jpeg" title="Cousin love <3" width="194" /></a></div></font></div><div><font face="verdana">I've been working on the craft room. It's amazing how much "stuff" gets tucked in a room "for now" when nobody is using the space. I put in a couple of orders and was just settling into plotting for classes as this all hit, and I haven't played with things as much as I would have liked. </font></div><div><font face="verdana">I got my first Annual Catalog order, and have been plotting.

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A new round of club starts in October, and I have decided to change things up somewhat. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our regular club members have been a very busy bunch! So much so that we have often been found preparing for patrons who indicated they were coming but didn't arrive. Likewise much time has been spent in reminding members to place their orders, and in some cases get their payments in. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The ladies that have submitted on time have been submitting on time have been very patient, but they too have their limits. To be honest, having to nag for attendance, orders and payments sucks all the fun out of the whole exercise for everyone. It is definitely time for change!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have some ladies who haven't even had time to pick up their goodies --- now that's pout worthy!! </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As many of you know, I will also be starting chemotherapy and radiation in the near future for breast cancer. It is not known yet what the duration or frequency of either is. I know only that chemo comes first. I will know more later this week and then I will begin to work on the calendar for the last quarter of this year. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've opted for more of a virtual club model this time around. I will continue to make a hostess code for each month so that those that would like to can order online and have shipped direct to them (anywhere in Canada). Of course you can also shop in person if you prefer. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Going forward, club orders will be due on the 1st of each month. That is both order and payment to be received by this time. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instead of having a set "club" class day you will instead be able to choose a convenient day and time from my event calendar each month to come out and get your creative game on. There will be a variety of open crop days/times and classes to choose from. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is my hope that by changing things up a little we can put the focus back on our crafting where it belongs.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sign-ups are being taken now for the next 6 month club which runs from October 1st, 2017 to March 1st, 2018. Club members commit to spending $35 per month for 6 months and during one of the months (pre-determined) you get to be the hostess and receive free shopping $$ to spend during your month. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Would you like to join our club? Let me know! </span></div>

Along with many of you, we are watching with concern as stories unfold about the devastation left behind in Texas and Louisiana by Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey. Though no one knows how many lives have been affected, Harvey is said to be one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, and the damage caused by massive flooding will be felt for years to come.</div>

With you, we’re also trying to stay informed on the progress of Hurricane Irma; as we write this, Irma has not yet made landfall but is currently classified as a catastrophic Category 5 storm. It will almost certainly leave as much destruction in its wake as Hurricane Harvey and will affect the lives of tens of thousands of people.</div>

As a Stampin’ Up! family, we invite you to help us give to those who are now (or will soon be) trying to rebuild their lives.

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though I hadn't
really made a big announcement, I was pretty sure that by now most had heard my
"big news." Aside from some
personal notifications, I'd posted a few things about the tests on social media
and had posted on <a href="http://lady8i8.blogspot.ca/2017/07/the-next-chapter-in-medzone.html" target="_blank">my personal blog</a>. I was pretty
sure most knew.. Until this weekend. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'd gotten a
message from someone that had heard a
rumor and was hoping I'd provide some kind of confirmation. (Insert laugh track here).</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've never been one
to operate in rumor. Perhaps a bit of a
job hazard, but I much prefer living in hard facts, and leaving the innuendo
and whispering for the folks who have nothing better to do. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want me to
know something, you'll tell me. If I
want you to know something, I'll tell you.
Life's too short to be sitting around whispering about people down the
road you barely know. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always laugh when
that meme pops up that says something to the effect of "Oh.. You didn't
know? Maybe it's none of your damned business!" Cracks me up every time. #TrueStory material right there. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not one to post a lot of med-stuff, I'd much rather post about my
grandkids and crafting and the fun stuff life brings. In this case it was important. In the same week I found some hope in
clearing up a med zone fiasco. I was
over the moon excited that I might finally be rid of the cyst we've been
cultivating for the past 12 or so years, and that some of the mess left unfixed
after my gastric bypass would be rectified.
God Bless this doctor for daring to be confident to believe it could be a reality.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the same week, I
would also get the news that I have breast cancer. I was annoyed that I didn't get to enjoy the
good news for a little while longer before getting more crap news, but I'm
still putting one foot in front of the other. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">It's not the first
time I've heard the words "You have cancer."</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> It's been 23 years of med-zone "sh-tuff". I've become pretty resilient. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been told that
I'll be doing radiation this time around which means I won't lose my hair. This makes me happy. I didn't do well as a
bald blond woman the last time around.
(Chuckles). I still don't know
how many or how often, or how far along it might be. I won't know that for another week or so
yet. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am taking solace
in the fact that it grew fast, it was caught and extricated immediately. I have to believe that this is not the way my
story ends. I have much left to do, and
I refuse to give up my pen. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my
ScrapNStampin' Friends: Fear not. I'm plotting for a variety of drop in play
dates and crafting therapy as I've be affectionately calling it. I may have to reschedule a few things here
and there, but I know you guys are awesome and won't leave me in the time out
chair too long. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've got Sunday
Class/Club on the calendar at the moment for August, and I'm looking at August
20th for an all-day crop. I won't be
plotting much else until after my follow up appointment on the 9th so that I'll
know what comes next. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">James tells me that
the 9th will bring me luck as it's our 21st Anniversary. August also marks 12 years since we bought
our first home and moved to Cardinal. We
have much to be grateful for. Here's
hoping that lucky horseshoe holds up for another round. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">

tuned. I'll definitely be in touch!</span></div>

Blog: Adorable Piggies<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="blog-post-contents ">
Hi!<br />
Have you noticed the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143922&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">This Little Piggy Stamp Set</a> (item 143922) in the annual catalog (<a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=146113&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">US</a>/<a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=146115&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">CA</a>)? If you are anything like me, it did not take you long to add it to your wish list. <br />
I
happen to know lots of people who love pigs, including my brother, who
inherited the “piggy” nickname when he was little. My husband also loves
them with a passion.<br />
Needless to say, I could not pass up on getting this stamp set. So without further ado, let me show you what I created!<br />
<span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]c6c51c58-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="Photo 1" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/photo-1bcc51c583795661a8962ff0000f7f0e6.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Photo 1" /></span><br />
I
love the flying pig and the little kisses from this set, so I started
by putting together a Cupid-themed card, with a pig in place of the
cherub.<br />
If you like background stamps but aren’t sure how to use them, here’s an idea: stamp the image on <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=101856">Vellum 8-1/2" Cardstock</a> using <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=102283&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">VersaMark ink</a>
(item 102283) and heat emboss with the powder of your choice. The
patterns really stand out and the Vellum Cardstock adds a wonderful
touch to your project. I used the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143964&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Tree Rings Background Stamp</a> with the wood rings. (I love the circles of various sizes!) <br />
For the circle embellishment, die cut the biggest one from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=145372&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies</a> (item 145372) and use the new <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144103">Pattern Party Decorative Masks</a><strong> </strong>(item 144103) and a <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141337&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Stamping Sponge</a> (item 141337) or a <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133773&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Sponge Dauber</a>
(item 133773) to make the clouds. By moving the mask and sponging,
you’ll get a sky full of clouds. (Try to make the clouds on top a little
darker.)<br />
<span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]eac51c58-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="Photo 2" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/photo-2e0c51c583795661a8962ff0000f7f0e6.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Photo 2" /></span><br />
I
wanted a rounded shape for my gift tag, so I used only half of the
Stitched Shapes Framelits large oval and ran my cardstock through the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=143263&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Big Shot</a> (item 143263); in keeping with the theme, I added a hole using one of the cloud dies from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=142748&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Up & Away Thinlits Dies</a> (item 142748). For the background, I used the new <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144772&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Marbled Background Stamp</a> (item 144772).<br />
Do you like the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144179&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">1/4" Copper Trim</a>
(item 144179)? I don’t know if it’s possible to appreciate its true
beauty by just looking at the catalog, but the mesh trim gives you all
kinds of different options. Here I stretched the wiring to create a
little copper net. Fast and easy!<br />
I considered two different types of paper for stamping the pigs: <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=101910&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Shimmery White Cardstock</a> (item 101910) or <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122959">Watercolor Paper</a> (item 122959)<strong> </strong>(used
on the project). In general, I prefer Watercolor Paper, but the shimmer
of the cardstock can really add a nice touch to small surfaces like the
pigs. It’s just a matter of personal preference.<br />
Here’s another
tip for background stamps, which are large and tricky to handle: ink the
whole surface (or part of it) with the ink pad, then place the paper on
the part of the image you’re interested in. Use your fingers to apply
pressure on the whole surface without moving the paper. It’s that
simple!<br />

For the gift packaging, I created a <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=100730">Whisper White Cardstock</a> (item 100730) pocket using the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135862&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Gift Bag Punch Board</a>
(item 135862) (size M/ 6" tall). To get more volume, I played with the
1/4" Copper Trim bows to make them wider. I wanted to make the pig look
as if he were leaping, so I cut out the grass and placed it all around
him. <br />
We should always keep embellishments in mind when finishing projects. I used the new <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144214&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Metallics Sequin Assortment</a> (item 144214) to add shine. As for the small hearts, they come from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141490&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=adorable-piggies">Everyday Jars Thinlits Dies</a> (item 141490).<br />
<span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]0ec61c58-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="Photo 4" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/photo-404c61c583795661a8962ff0000f7f0e6.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Photo 4" /></span><br />
Those little piggies seem so blissful! I hope they will make you as happy as they make me!<br />
Have a nice day!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi stampers! I’m one of those people who is obsessed with succulents right now so I knew I wanted to do something with them for you—but not the same old same old. As I was playing around with my <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141905&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" src="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=141905&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Live, Love, Grow Stamp Set</a> (141905), I thought about spraying them with a <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126185&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" src="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126185&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stampin’ Spritzer</a> (126185) and I LOVED the effect! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I probably made no less than a million of these! It’s so fun to play around with color combinations and no two will look alike, which I love! I stamped my succulents on our <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122959&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" src="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122959&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Watercolor Paper</a> (item 122959) in combinations of <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=138326&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" src="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=138326&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mint Macaron</a> (item 138326), <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126953" src="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126953" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Old Olive</a> (item 126953), and <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126972&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" src="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=126972&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=succulent-obsession" style="border: 0px; color: black; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Always Artichoke</a> (item 126972) ink.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors and with different levels of saturation. Start off with just a little spray and go from there. I got a little heavy-handed a few times and it didn’t end well. You can always add more water but you can’t take it back! You can see that some of them blended more than others. The look is subtle and soft and I just love it.</span></div>

Happy 1st Day of Spring! <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I received a lovely card in the mail last week from Stampin' Up! Home Office.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wcynt0KxN_Y/WM_uR27Nu_I/AAAAAAAALsg/6va7HM8TmD817AnD1RQzdQ7HifEIfDouQCLcB/s1600/7th%2BSU%2BAnniversary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wcynt0KxN_Y/WM_uR27Nu_I/AAAAAAAALsg/6va7HM8TmD817AnD1RQzdQ7HifEIfDouQCLcB/s320/7th%2BSU%2BAnniversary.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Things have been so busy lately, that I didn't realize that my Stampin' Up! Anniversary is almost here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a little misleading as I was a demo before I went into hospital in 2008, but part way through that year in hospital someone had told me I could apply for a hardship exception because I was laid up in hospital for an inordinate amount of time. We did so. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the time I couldn't use most of the left side of my body and my left hand was more like a club than a stamping implement. I had my work set out for me. I didn't realize that the hardship exception would expire. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was back at home and working on getting back on my feet when I realized I hadn't received the new catalog and I'd called. When we figured out what happened I was dissapointed but realized that I wasn't in a position to get down to my craftroom anyhow. I decided to leave it for a bit while I got my world in order.. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I re-joined during Sale-a-Bration in 2010 and have never looked back. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have met so many wonderful people through my paper crafting hobby turned business, and have made some fabulous friends that I wouldn't trade for anything in this world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We all have good and bad days, and life upheavals. For me, paper crafting and music are like medicine. Your enthusiasm fires me up. I am forever grateful for the creative contacts and friends that I have made over the years and look forward to many more years of colouring your world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friends and new stamping family members are like icing on the cake. I am blessed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought I'd kick off this week and the first day of Spring with a virtual hug and my heartfelt thanks for your part in this journey. I can't imagine it would be the same without each and every one of you. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you ever get to feeling like you're a bad crafter? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that sounds like a weird thing to say, but I've been a very bad crafter lately. Blogging doesn't seem to be my forte either. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I start out with the best of intentions, of course, but then life gets busy and well you know..?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I call it demos dilemma quite often. If I've got a class planned, or a swap upcoming then I know I "have" to be in there and doing my thing. Somehow when it's just little ol' me I look around and see things that need to be sorted, jobs I should be doing, and other guilty to-do lists that I can't help but feeling need to be done before I get to play. Meat and potatoes before dessert, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes it goes the other way, however, I'll put together a bunch of things and sometimes I even take photos with the plan of posting to my pages or blog, and then they just sit. Sometimes I forget about them til I scroll back in my phone looking for one thing or another and then it hits me -- OOPS. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have made more of an effort to get crafting these past couple of weeks, the re-org has taken some real leaps and bounds. I've starting culling more items to purge, sold my paper cart and reclaimed some space. Baby steps.. baby steps. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I actually packed a selection of items the other night and took them upstairs with me to watch TV with hubby. This is one of my favourite ways to challenge myself. Since I don't want to make a dozen trips up and down the stairs, I am limited to only what I bought up in the bin, bag or tote with me. Sometimes that's a punch or two, sometimes the big shot, other times it's just a single embossing folder for the Big Shot. I've done just my markers, or just pencil crayons or a small selection of ink pads. It forces you to be creative because you can't just go grab something else out of the arsenal to play with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I posted a bunch of card fronts to my Facebook page the other day. I'd stamped a number of images from a retired stamp set that I've had for years and sadly never used. I spent hours colouring them with my new watercolour pencils. I stlil have to mount them and embellish them to turn them into cards but before I get there I'm thinking I'd like to do some highlights with my aquapainters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll post some photos of the completed projects soon. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, I'm SO looking forward to Sunday class/club this week. If you can't find me before then I'll be the one in the corner surrounded by paper and ink giggling like a crazy person. I've coined the phrase "Forced down-time" these past couple of weeks. We're certainly due for a slow-down. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope to see your smile at my craft table very soon! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Thursday everybody! </span><br />
