I will remind the children of the rules at beginning of evening. Please bring enough for your child to work for entire night (“scramping” projects, coloring books, quiet games, small craft projects to share, whatever they can work on independently and quietly), as they will not be allowed on the playground or at the foosball table. Feel free to bring items to add to a “community craft bucket” if you wish.

04/17/2009: Friday Wrap-Up

Hi! Here is your weekly recap of all of my recent Stampin' Up! news!

Birthday Blowout Sale (20% off EVERYTHING) and April PMS Night: Click HERE for all of the details! This is next Saturday! I hope you can make it. If you can't, you are still eligible for the 20% off, just get me your order prior to 10:00 p.m. on 04/25/2009. Thanks for all you have done to help me build a successful business!

New Mini Catalog Now Available: Click HERE to see information on the new Occasions Mini Catalog. Lots of FUN stuff! Order $40 worth from this catalog and choose a $10 or less set for free from the regular catalog. See below for information on the "Get Connected Campaign."

More FREEBIES??? Click HERE to find out all about the new "Get Connected Campaign."

Announcing "Happy Hostess Workshops": I am very excited about offering a fun and FREE way to involve more people in my love of "scramping" while allowing 2 people per month to earn hostess benefits without the hassle of having to host in their own home! Dates are still being established and will be announced when available, but here are the basics:

• Happy Hostess Workshops would be just like an in-home workshop, but the hostess won't have to make snacks OR clean the house!
• Happy Hostess Workshops would be FREE OF CHARGE and held 1 weeknight per month at Pleasant Grove UMC from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
• There will be 2 hostess slots available to sign up for each month. Each of the 2 hostesses would be responsible for bringing at least 5 people (maximum 10). Any walk-ins would be welcomed last minute (PRIOR to the start of the workshop) and would be assigned to the already established hostess groups.
• Both hostesses would meet at the same time (hostess group A and a hostess group B). Everyone would take home a scrapbooking make and take, a card make and take, and a Big Shot project of some sort.
• Light refreshments will be available.
• Each hostess would earn all of the hostess benefits from any orders received from the guests in her own hostess group (A or B respectively) and 10% of my profit will go to Pleasant Grove UMC.

"Kelsie's Korner" and PMS Night Fees: Starting in May 2009, Kelsie will officially begin teaching the make and takes during PMS Night for the 8-12 year old crowd! Here are the details:

• I will be instituting a $3 fee per child for the 8-12 year olds. This fee will cover the cost of make and takes, their refreshments, cropping space at "Kelsie's Korner" (the table set up for the younger folks), and a small "salary" for Kelsie.
• Attendees 13 and up (or those who choose to sit at the regular tables and/or do the adult make and takes) will be considered adults. The adult fees will continue to be $10 per person or $5 each if you bring a (new to my events) friend.
• I absolutely LOVE that the kids are enjoying being involved with this craft! My only requirements are that children be 8 and up, able to sit for an extended period of time without being disruptive, and that they respect the products they are invited to use, as I want this to be a comfortable and enjoyable experience for the adults as well.

Ever thought about joining Stampin' Up!? Click HERE for information on the 3 Easy Payments Option! Paperwork MUST be RECEIVED by Stampin' Up! no later than 04/30/2009.

UPCOMING EVENTS: Click links for details:

• 04/25/2009: April 2009 PMS Night and Birthday Blowout Sale! (get 20% off of EVERYTHING you order!)

• 07/10/2009 and 07/11/2009: July 2009 PMS Night and July Super Saturday (first group order for NEW catalog!)
• Happy Hostess Workshops: Dates TBA!

Hostesses Wanted! I am available for personal workshops. I can bring the workshop to your home or office. Just gather some friends/co-workers/family, I will demonstrate some fun projects, everyone gets to do a make and take (cards or scrapbooking, your choice!), and the hostess benefits from the order placed are ALL YOURS! Please let me know if you are interested and we can mark the calendar!

As always, know that I appreciate you all. Please invite your friends and family to join us! I look forward to seeing you soon! Have a safe and blessed week! :o)

03/27/2009: Friday Wrap Up

Hi! I am going to try something new. This is my "Friday Wrap-Up." It will include all the info you need to know each week - unless there is a super special announcement (like the one coming on 04/01/2009!!!), which I will pass on to you as needed. So, here goes:

• Dates have been set for my PMS Nights and Super Saturdays through July 2009. Click links for details:
  04/25/2009: April 2009 PMS Night and Katie's 1st Annual Birthday Extravaganza!
  05/16/2009: May 2009 PMS Night
  06/26/2009: June 2009 PMS Night
  06/27/2009: June 2009 Super Saturday
  07/10/2009: July PMS Night
  07/11/2009: July Super Saturday
  
• Don't forget about the Sale-A-Bration Catalog Party Hostess Blitz. If you would like to order something, I have a participating hostess that is in need of orders to reach the minimum. Please contact me ASAP with your order information and I will be sure she receives credit! She would really appreciate it!
  
• Are You My Next Hostess? I am excited to be able to offer some in-home workshops/parties and I would love for you ladies to be my first hostesses. You would gather some friends, I would demonstrate a couple of projects, we would do some make and takes (cards or scrapbooking, whichever you choose), and the hostess benefits from the order placed would be all yours! Please let me know if you are interested and we can mark the calendar... or maybe you have a friend who might want to hostess? :o)
  
• Sale-A-Bration: Tick-tock, tick-tock..... Time is running out! Find out about 2 last chance opportunities before Sale-A-Bration is a thing of the past!
  
• Welcome Bella B Stampers Team Members: Read all about my 2 new recruits, Daphne Bishop and Patricia Crawford. They both took advantage of the Sale-A-Bration recruiting incentives!
  
• Do you and your friends love Stampin' Up! products? I am looking for club members! I am interested in forming some Stampin' Clubs. Please let me know if you might be interested! Grab a few friends and you are official! Here is how it would work: Each club would consist of 6 people* who would commit to spend $25 each month on Stampin' Up! products for the 6-month length of the club. Each of the club members would receive hostess benefits for 1 of the 6 months: MINIMUM of 1 level one hostess set AND MINIMUM of $15 in free product. The hostess benefits could be boosted by the hostess taking outside orders during her month as well, if they so desire. The club would meet on an agreed upon day each month during the club length where the hostess would provide a LIGHT snack, I would provide club members a make and take project (card, 3-D item, scrapbooking, etc. - this could be tailored to your needs/interests), and I would gather orders from the hostess for the month.
  
• My blog: I will soon be having my blog format updated. It should be easier to navigate and I have some ideas for daily themes for posting. My goal is to post more photos and projects, as well as some challenges for you to participate in if you so desire.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you and/or if I can answer any questions. I am excited about the possibilities of doing some workshops/parties and also about the potential for fun that clubs would bring!

Have a great (and safe) weekend!
