Twas the Night Before Stamp Expo…

October 9, 2019October 10, 20196 Comments

Twas the night before stamp expo pack up and all through the house, the supply tubs were stacked high, almost to the ceiling I dare!

The prep tables were a mess of snippets of ribbons, empty spool rolls, scraps of pretty patterned papers left next to Carl Cutter, he is my second boyfriend you know;)

Lots of self adhesive embellishments were cut apart, stuffed into kits, ready for the Card Buffets’ start.

The score board is worn out, markers placed at 4.25 and 5.5 inches. Where is the stylus? Stored right on the board for scores on one last minute design.

Fifteen packages of whisper white envelopes opened and how many whisper white cardstock packages cut down? I have lost count!

A few more hours to prep for scrapbooking class. My favorite themes: snowpeeps, fall and flowers. The time will go quick!

Now off to bed I go, otherwise I’ll risk punching lopsided daises, for the Tin of Cards class.

See you soon at the One of Kind Stamp and Scrap Expo in Madison!

Good Morning Stampers!

I am back from a whirl of convention in Orlando. We enjoyed fun presentations, make-n-takes, take-n-makes, new product displays, catered lunches and meeting 6000 new demonstrator friends! The warmth of Florida was highlight too. I shared a few photos of the trip on my business Facebook page while there. I’ll share more on my blog so be watching for those. I am excited to share this photo though. Kay got in line for a photo with Sara!

I am up early to work on projects for this weekend’s One of a Kind Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo. In addition to demonstrating at the evening special events, I have Card Buffets on Friday, November 16th at 2pm and Sunday, November 18th at 10am. Would you like to join us?

Click here for Friday Card Buffet details, RSVP and payment. Click here for Sunday Card Buffet details, RSVP and payment. Hurry, RSVP closes on Wednesday so please sign up today! I need a few more guests for both sessions so please bring your friends! Card Buffet is a great way to stock up on cards in a short amount of time since I prep the supplies in kits for you. Card Buffet will be run the same way I run it at my house with the exception that there will be space to spread out on! I am looking forward to that!

Stop by my booth and say hi while you are at expo. Sign up and prepay for the December Card Buffet while at expo and receive an extra card kit. In addition, I’ll have a super awesome display, goodies for sale and a make-n-take while supplies last.

Stamp with you then!

I’m back at the One of a Kind Stamp and Scrap Expo!

I am back as the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator at the One of a Kind Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo in Madison during the weekend of November 16-18, 2018. I have been participating in this show in various ways ever since it started. Way back when before I became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, my family would visit from out of town and we would attend the show together.

This year, I have a table on the show floor so visit me there! I also have 3 classes, the Daisy Jar on Friday, the Wood Crate Projects on Saturday and my staple, Card Buffet on Sunday. Please consider attending a class. As a bonus, you will get to rest your legs for an hour during class 🙂

In addition, I’ll be a demonstrator during the Saturday night Create n Keep. This event is 4 hours of stamping fun!

See you there!
