Last weekend we had our party in Northern Va. We had our local team party this past week. We. Each made a money holder using all Stampin' Up! Products. We each brought a snack to share and we played dirty Santa. That was a blast!!! I think next year we should also do an ugly Christmas sweater contest.

Here are a few pictures. I have more that will follow later this week. These are the pictures of all us making our fun money holder.

Clothespin Wreath

My friend Kathy made one of these recently. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to make it. One side has a Fall/ Thanksgiving theme and the other side has a Christmas theme. I used the Festival of Prints DSP that is in the Holiday Catalog. That little package goes a long way. I have used it for several projects and classes and still have plenty left. That might be the best bargain in the Holiday catalog.

Sorry this picture is so blurred.

Keeping the Post Office Busy

I have been busy for the past few days addressing Christmas cards to send to all my Stampin Friends. I also made cards for my new Team Members and current Team Members and sent Thank you cards to everyone that placed an order online this month. I love to make cards but I am horrible about sending them out. This was a HUGE accomplishment for me. Now I am off to address cards for our family Christmas cards. I am on a roll!!

25th anniversary catalog sneak peak

Here are some of the projects we made this weekend using new products from the 25th anniversary catalog. some are new Saleabration products.

Team Sparkle Meeting

My Teammates and I drove to Springfield yesterday for our quarterly Team Meeting. We had a blast! Below are a couple of pictures from the event. We exchanged gifts and made 12 projects using new product from the 25th Anniversary catalog. We did a gift swap and played Pollyanna. My bag was stolen a few times. I know what my roommate gifts will be for Leadership.

Team Meeting

We had our monthly Team Meeting last night. we always have such a GREAT time! We made a tool to showcase all of the embossing folders that Stampin' up! has to offer. This was inspired by our team mate Becky Evans.

And here is a quick and easy card that we made. This card was inspired by Kathy Seals. We are taking the month of November off because we are all so busy with our Stampin Events and Family Events throughout November. I would love for you to join me as my guest at our Christmas Party in December. I love my FUN job!! I meet so many amazing women, I get to travel (I am going to Leadership in Orlando). I also get to contribute to the family income doing what I love! A couple of weeks ago my sweet husband needed brakes for his SUV. Guess where that money came from?? That's right- ME! It felt so good to not have to put that expense on our credit card. He was shocked!! :) I LOVE my job! How many people can say that? If you have ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator contact me!! I would love to answer any questions that you have. Happy Stampin!! stampinwithfriends@gmail.com

MDS 2

I am loving the new MDS 2 Software. Stampin' Up! was generous enough to donate the program to several schools. Our school was lucky enough to receive several copies. I know they are going to love it! We just found out that my sweet father in law has cancer. He loves pictures so I am going to send him a digital scrapbook every couple of weeks to lift his spirits. Below are a few of the pages from the 1st book that I am sending him. i had this one printed but I can burn it to a cd to make a slide show or use it on a memory card for a digital picture frame. The possibilties are endless.
