Host Code has changed along with a few days left of October promotion

October 28, 2023Leave a comment

Hello Stampers! Today is a day you can sign up to be a demonstrator on my team to take advantage of the 35% promotion! Then, receive the future catalogs directly from Stampin’ Up! and EARLIER than when general customers receive catalogs. As demonstrators, we receive a complimentary catalog prior to the pre-order period AND are able to pre-order products before the general customers are able to order. A super awesome perk for being a demonstrator! Your Welcome Kit will have copies of all the current catalogs as well that you can share with your stamping friends.

Click here or the graphic below for the full details and sign up link.

If you are going to remain a customer and would like to place an order, my current host code has changed to VBRCDCGG which will be open for a few weeks. Keep the host code on your order if it’s less than $150 excluding shipping and tax so that I may earn a few more host rewards and you get a free, emailed pdf idea file from me as a thank you for using the host code. Remove the host code if your order is greater than $150 excluding shipping and tax so that you may redeem all the host rewards and I’ll email you the pdf too.

The host code changes every few weeks because the online party needs to “close” so that host rewards can be tallied. This is the same step that would be taken if an in-person party would be held in your home. The host code would close so that you would know how many host rewards you have to spend and then spend them (yes!) to receive fabulous products.

Click on the host code graphic below if you are ready to place an order using my current host code OR CLICK ON THE APPROPRIATE GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BLOG. The host code graphic on the right side will be automatically linked to my current host code. There are 2 graphics on the right side of my blog that will zoom you to my online store: one that is linked to my host code and one that is not.

After you have arrived at my online store, look in the upper right corner of the shopping cart to add or remove the host code. If you use a link I provided that has a host code embedded in it, the host code should automatically appear in the “add host code” space. If a host code is not displayed, click on “add host code.”

Enter my current host code in the box. Please note that the images below contain an expired host code and are for reference only.

Make sure to click on “apply” if you are adding a host code.

Your screen should now look like this below after clicking on “apply”…except you will have a merchandise subtotal other than $0.00 since you are ordering products:)

Finish checking out. Then be watching your email in-box for the free pdf idea file from me!

Let me know if you have any questions about the 35% new demonstrator promotion. Thanks you!

Honey Harvest 2023

October 13, 2023October 14, 2023Leave a comment

It been buzzing at my house this week…honey was extracted on Monday with the bottles of honey goodness being picked up from my Halloween house. Honey sale details are at the end of this post.

Jar tags feature dsp that has gold comb and a bumble bee. The background print is from my super fun Halloween pants. I complete the look with an orange polo and candy corn mask.

And guess what, the print is glow in the dark with cobwebs glowing!

Visits to my senior living communities are this week too. So in between a sticky mess, I have been sharing the glow in the dark ghosts and bats on Halloween cards with fun treats shared as well (no tricks here ;). My last community was gracious enough to shift my visit to earlier in the week last month. When I told them why (needed that day to decorate cakes for a wedding reception treat table), they said they would be taste tasters. I baked lemon macarons and carrot mini cupcakes for a festive treat.

The honey harvest takes a full day with a short break for lunch. I still have some clean up to do with lots of hot water that will go in the garden since wax will be melted from equipment. The waste water does not go down the drain. I’ll post videos showing the honey frame pull from the hives and the extraction process to my Youtube channel when they are edited later next week.

If you are interested in my small batch honey, know that my bees are treatment free and never fed sugar water. They roam the countryside in rural Arkansaw, WI where the ecology is varied and vibrant, winds are stiff and the winter is harsh. It all makes for a premium honey to be enjoyed by the spoonful or in tisanes.

The golden goodness is bottled in glass jars accordingly:

quart sized jar is 45 ounces of honey for $45 (stocked for the winter)

pint sized jar is 22 ounces of honey for $22 (enjoy frequently)

half pint sized jars are $10 (perfect for gifting and charcuterie boards)

How fast you enjoy it is up to you. I find that a spoonful a day in my morning tea is plenty to keep my energy up. Click the contact button to request honey pick up from my Halloween house in Sun Prairie, WI or pick up/delivery near Durand, WI. Email works too if you have my email address. The girls and Me thank you so much for your support as the work is hot and sticky!

Last, this is what is NOT suppose to happen inside the bee hive. They were building on the attic when they still had room on the frames. The girls do make hive inspections interesting!

Underneath the wood bars seen in the photo above is where the bees live. At different times throughout the season, comb cells are filled with growing baby bees, nectar which they turn into honey and pollen which they turn into bee bread that is feed to the baby fees. Over the winter, they cluster inside the cells to conserve warmth and slowly enjoy their honey they worked all summer for.

Here is a typical fully filled and wax capped honey frame. The wax cap needs to be scrapped off so the honey can be spun out in the extractor. I’ll share the extraction process in my Youtube video later next week. Until then, Buzz Ya Later!
