November Newsletter

How is everyone?  Well I hope. I think we are slowly adjusting to the new normal and after hosting the first official online stamp club a few weeks ago, I know this will be our new normal for a little while longer – not forever but just for now. So for our now, I believe getting together even if virtually with like minded friends, this way of gathering together is still fun, inspiring and encouraging.  I know that our stamp club is all this to me.  I would not be in my crafting corner as much were it not for stamp club, so to my stamp club members, thank you.

For those who attended my World Card Making Day event, thank you for spending time with me and the others.  I had a couple of friends make guest appearances.  Francine a crafter at heart from Tennessee and Betty, my Stampin’UP! Demonstrator friend from Massachusetts.  It was neat having them join along. It was a pleasure to host a casual afternoon for all of us to work on personal projects.  I did do a couple of prize patrols but we did not end up playing bingo but we all seemed okay with this since we were working hard on our cards. I think for next year I would like to host another World Card Making day, so hopefully if you did not make it this years' you will in 2021.

CHRISTMAS CRAFTING RETREAT (VIRTUALLY)

Unfortunately this year I will not be able to hold a face to face Christmas card class as I have in the past.  Instead, on November 21 and 22 I will be on ZOOM during set hours for what I am calling “Christmas Crafting Retreat”.  I hope that you will join me on one or both days.  
 
We can work on our Christmas cards or other craft projects together and even though we will be working on our own projects, the idea is that we still connect and have fun together.  We can bounce ideas of off each other, tell stories or work in silence because just knowing there is someone else working along side of you is comforting. 
 
So, I do hope you can join me because I would love to see what you are creating. 
Here are the dates and times:
 
Saturday, November 21 – 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

Sunday, November 22 – 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

STAMP CLUB - OCTOBER'S CARDS

Stamp Club 2020-2021 started last month via ZOOM. Below are the cards Stamp Club created in October. 

ONSTAGE@HOME – NOVEMBER 4 – 6, 2020
(STAMPIN’UP! DEMONSTRATOR ONLINE CONVENTION) 

This a Demonstrataor event. This event is Stampin’UP!’s annual convention that would have taken place in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you remember, I attended my first virtual Stampin’UP! Convention in August and it was fantastic. Some of you know how impressed I was with the Leadership convention, so I can only imagine how amazing this virtual annual convention is going to be. Stampin’UP! announced to us that they have hired star studded enterntainment to kick-off the convention for Thursday night, so I am curious and excited to see who they 

are. I know it will be weird dancing along on my own in front of a laptop by what the heck, if the tunes are good why not. 

The thrill of receiving our swag bags filled with goodies is just one element of how Stampin’UP! has made an effort to keep this virtual convention as similar to a live event as possible, (pictures above). I know there will also be other surprises over the two and a half days, including prize patrol and most importantly getting our PDF copy of the January to June Mini Catalogue plus the first of two Sale-A-Bration catalogues. I will not be able to post any pictures of the catalogue but any new Make & Take projects I create with new products, I will be able to share. I will be posting during the convention days, so make sure to visit my Instagram.
