Time to switch to indoor activities...like crafting!

 


I am not a fan of cold weather.  Sweaters, yes.  Needing them, no.  But the best thing about cold weather and staying inside is crafting, right?!

This month I'm focusing on the kits SU! offers, both the Kits Collection and the Scrapbooking Kits.  Check under events for different dates and ways to participate.  Also, check my videos for step by step and overview looks at the scrapbooking kits.

Also, going into the holidays I will be doing 12 Days of Giveaways, combining reveals of the Advent Calendar and random giveaways for participation.  Be sure to comment, share, like, message, attend, reply and anything else so that I know you saw "the thing."  This is important for a number of reasons:  

  1. That's how social media works.  We may not like it, but in order for people to see what I post, those who see it need to acknowledge it.
  2. I need to know what you want, or don't.  It was very evident last month that like NO ONE was reading my email.  If no one is receiving, or reading it, there is no reason for me to spend time sending it.
  3. Speaking of email, make sure if you receive the choice to opt in or if you want to opt out of communication, check the box or click the link.  Again, no point in wasting my time, or yours.
  4. I'd like to increase my Facebook follower.  We're almost to 600!!  But again, is anyone watching??
  5. Check your spam/junk email folder occasionally.  Not only may you find my messages, but perhaps something really important!  Search for Quiltam or Stampin Up.  I started using MailChimp a few months ago to see if that helped me, or you.  What do you think?  (Comment below, be entered for he giveaways!!)

Welcome Fall!!

It may not officially be Autumn but I am enjoying the not-hot weather!  What is your go-to fall activity?  Football??  Yard & Garden work??  Back to School Chaos!?!

If is seemed like I was AWOL recently, it's because hubby and I finally took a vacation!  After dealing with his mom's health crisis and over-working on the project house, it was long over due.  Thanks to our kids who made the whole thing easy.

DS#1 and his wife have caught the cruising bug and decided last year to do the Alaska Inside Passage trip.  Since DS#2 and his wife live near Seattle (the departing port) we were able to see everyone at once!!

Here is the latest Stampin' Up! news:

New Mini Catalog for September-December is now live!  If you recently purchased from me, you should have received a copy in the mail.  Copies can be added to your order (#168028) or viewed online.  

To find catalogs online, go to my website and scroll all the way to the bottom of the main page.



New Online Exclusives have also arrived this month.  More information on finding those is under SPECIALS.

Be sure to register for the FREE virtual class being held on World Card Making Day, October 4.   Featured will be one of this month's additions to the Kit Collection. This day is also the FREE crop at the public library in Wayne, Ohio.  If you need any supplies, including the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit, let me know by the 15th and we can share shipping.  RSVP for the crop with me or the library so there is enough room for everyone.
