PLAYTIME

I have enjoyed the last few weeks playing with all the new goodies that Santa let me have for Christmas. I must have been very good to be allowed to be so naughty!

There are so many wonderful products in the Occasions catalogue and it is a bonus to be able to select free items from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. For every $90 I spent, I could choose something from Sale-a-bration … it was very nice to be able to choose a few.

As much as all this playtime has been a lot fun, I need to start thinking about what I’m doing with my Stampin’ Up journey into 2015.

Last year, I hosted a couple of make and takes with friends from work, after school … a nice and easy introduction to organising workshops as a demonstrator.

This year I want to build on this and so I had my first event for 2015 yesterday – an Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogue launch at my home.

Eight wonderful women, including my mentor Tanya Bell, willingly agreed to let me practice with/on them.

We made four projects and had lots of fun. I was very pleased with how the afternoon went and am very excited about planning more!

I am pleased to report that everyone survived and there were no tears!!

All set up and ready to go ...
