TGI - Friday! With a long weekend Chaser - Gotta Love it!

You may have noticed that I've been tinkering a bit this morning.  I'd set up networked blogs a while ago via Facebook but hadn't done anything with it, and I've been trying to streamline things a little bit more so that it's not a matter of manually re-posting things everywhere they need to be - even when it's something you love - it's still a real PITA sometimes.  


I apologize for not having posted promised pictures before now, for some strange reason my camera wasn't making a proper connection to the computer for the upload and this morning I finally stripped it of it's USB card figuring I'd do a work around and the card wouldn't read either - strangely enough when I put it back in the camera it worked fine and now the pictures are whirring onto my computer as I type this.  I have to wonder if perhaps I scared it into submission... well I can HOPE, can't I?  ;)


I've been working on some incentives and some features that I hope to make regular occurrences here on the blog including some new customer appreciation bonusses.  Keep your eyes on the blog - more to be revealed soon.  :) 


Here's a little inspiration for this rainy Spring day - there's a little family of robins that have made their home on top of one of our patio lights.  Started out with Mama and eggs, and then there were 3 little heads in there with her.  Come to find out this week there are actually 4 - and they've grown so big so fast they almost look like they're going to burst out of the nest.  When we stand at our kitchen sink we get a front row seat right out our window to see these little guys.  I thought I'd share. 

It's Beginning to feel a lot like SPRING!!

... and not a moment too soon either!

As I sit here this afternoon the rain has finally subsided and the sun is out. I can actually hear the bird chirping through my open window though my hubby would argue that over my typing that there's no way that you could really hear anything. LOL

In the flurry of getting kit orders in, SAB orders finalized, and my pre-mini catalog order in, I completely forgot to sound the buzzers and do the happy dance.  You see, the last day of SAB was a pretty awesome day in my world for a completely different reason.  It was on that day 2 years ago that I re-joined with Stampin' Up! after having lapsed while in hospital a few months before.  It sounds funny to me to say that I'm celebrating my 2nd Birthday with Stampin; Up though since I was a Stamper's Club Member for the better part of 3 years before I joined as a demonstrator, and a hobby demo for several years after that - and as my hubby would day, I have the loot to prove it!  

In celebration of this milestone, I thought I'd treat the next 2 people to comment to some of our new Baja Breeze glitter from the Occasions Mini. (Sorry Canadian Address Only).

I will also send a hand made card to every person after that adds a comment to this thread..  Of course you will have to send me an e-mail to send me your mailing address but I will also do two random drawings selected from everyone who entered for a $20 gift certificate to shop with me at my Stampin' Up Store.  How awesome is that?

Draw will take place April 30th, and the Winner will be announced May 1st during my Summer Mini Catalog Launch Event.  I hope to see many of you out to check out our new products and promotions but attendance is not required to win.  There will be plenty of other specials that day also so stay tuned!

My last SAB order of this year is due to arrive tomorrow.  I hope you got to order all of the FREE goodies that were on your wish list!!   If not, don't despair - I have a few extras that I will be offering as incentives and prizes over the next little while so all hope isn't lost..
