New Annual Catalog is Live Today!

1 Comment


I am so excited that today the new annual catalog goes live! If you have placed a product order from me lately, you should have received your very own copy in your snail mail box. Got a lot of pages marked for ideas and for your shopping list? Stampin’ Up! rolled out 2 promotions today to help you with your marked pages.

Would you like to gather a few stamping friends and ask them to place orders using your host code? A host code will gather their orders to your online party. You will get to the qualifying amount sooner if your friends help:) Contact me to set up a host code for you. OR you can place a $250 order yourself and take care of your shopping list in June so you have the rest of the summer to play with your products.

Now that you have at least $50 in host rewards to spend from the first promotion, would you like to spend them on a $99 New Demonstrator Starter Kit? What about if Stampin’ Up! lets you pick an additional free bundle?

When you purchase your Starter Kit, you can select ONE stamp and punch bundle (p. 168–169) or ONE stamp and die bundle (p. 173-179) from the 2020–2021 Annual Catalog—in addition to selecting up to $125 of products for only $99 plus tax. Shipping is free on the starter kit too for additional savings.

If either of these opportunities sound like something you want to learn more about, then click on Contact above and let me know what you are interested in. I am happy to answer any questions you have about joining my Super Awesome Stampers Team, the support I offer team members and how being a demonstrator can fill your needs. You can just buy for yourself or can build a little business to have a few people order from you.

If you want to join my team now, click here. The enrollment process is done through the link.

Ginger is my Friend

3 Comments

A few years ago, I rediscovered ginger. We went with friends to Takumi Japanese Restaurant on Madison’s east side where I delighted in the lettuce salad. It was crisp iceberg with a bright carrot ginger dressing. It was so refreshing that I researched how the dressing is prepared. My version is a mix of grated carrot, grated ginger, seasoned rice vinegar, garlic and sea salt. I’ll share the recipe the next time I make it. I usually just throw ingredients in the food processor without regard to measuring quantities since I know what taste I am going for.

Each time I go to the grocery store, I get a knob of ginger whether I am running low or not. So I am well stocked for Safer at Home. I use it for various drinks and dishes, having some slivers here, some grated there and drinking the juice too.

Today’s recipe shares how I use it to flavor my home brew kombucha. I squeeze it through the Pampered Chef garlic press to collect the juice. Then about 1 teaspoon of juice is added to a 16 ounce bottle of kombucha.

A very important step of juicing this way is to freeze the roots and then thaw the roots in the refrigerator prior to juicing. The freezing helps to break down the fibrous root just enough so it can be pressed. If you have an electric press that works better, please add a comment as to what brand you use. The garlic press is hard on my hands and does not get all the juice out.

Kombucha bottling process…After the ginger is squeezed it goes back in the freezer for other uses.

One use of the squeezed ginger is shaving slivers for lettuce salad dressing. I make my own dressing fresh for each bowl using these ingredients. Make sure to use frozen ginger pieces pieces that have thawed for a few seconds. It makes the slivering process so easy when the pieces are frozen. Add as much slivered ginger as you like. I usually use about half a piece that was squeezed per bowl.

My tuna quinoa bite recipe made enough leftovers for 3 salad bowls. Find the tuna quinoa bite recipe here.

Find the seasoned rice vinegar in your local Asian grocery store or larger food markets. #Penzey’s Spices might have a location near you. Click here to link to their online store and the garlic powder I use. Olive oil is from Aldi’s. Pink Himalayan salt is from Costco.

Ginger a great option to have in your farmacy. What ways do you like to enjoy ginger? Add a comment with your ginger uses!
