Got pictures?

I have a super cute card to share with you! But no camera to take a picture of it. :( The boys left for Kids Camp and took my camera with them! I sure hope they take lots of pictures for me to scrapbook their trip!!

So... My downline & friend Cynthia (*hi Cynthia*) and I are having an Out with the old, In with the new event on June 21st! We are going to have make & take projects featuring old sets that are retiring, and new sets that are coming in August! I've also got a bunch of sneak peeks of products that are coming out in August too! Of course, there will be prizes, and food too!

While we won't know which sets are retiring until June 15, I can tell you that there are a bunch that won't be retiring! It was announced earlier this year that any set that was new to the Spring-Summer catalog would be available for 1 year! There are 75 sets that were new to us in January. If you would like a list of which ones you can keep on your wish list for a little while longer, leave me a comment on this post with your email address, or you can email me and I'll send you the list!

Ultimate Blog Party!

It's Friday and it's time for the Ultimate Blog Party to begin! I'll start the introductions...

My name is Andrea. I live in Peoria, AZ with my 2 sons and wonderful husband.

My parents live right down the street from me - literally - they are 5 houses down! It actually works out well. They do their thing, and we do ours. We're lucky to see them once a month! My grandmother lives there also! My boys love to spend time with their Great Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa too!

My favorite color is blue! I love all shades of blue - but especially midnight blue.

I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I was just promoted to a Senior Associate! My husband wasn't as excited as I was. Especially since you get the promotion for reaching $1,000 in sales. More than 1/2 was purchased by me - but that's besides the point! Hee hee.

OK! Your turn. Leave me a comment with something I can learn about you! Have a question for me? Ask away!

Don't forget to check out the Ultimate Blog Party site! You can get to it by clicking the big pink box on the right side. There are some great prizes to be won! Check out the prize list. I would love to win #64, #1, #28, #30, #52, and so many more!

Peas and Carrots

So it's more carrotts than peas, but you get the idea!

I made these thank you carrots for my hostess group. I had to switch our Hostess club night this month at the last minute due to an awards ceremony for the kids basketball teams. So, it was only right that I minded my "Peas and Carrot ts" and showed them how much I appreciate them!

I used 12" disposable decorating bags. Added some jelly beans. Gave the bag a twist. Stuffed some green tissue paper in the top. Then tied it all together with a little ribbon and a tag. I created the tag using my small tag punch. The thank you stamp came from my Family Phrases set.

Congrats to Melanie Muenchinger over at Hands, Head and Heart. She made her goal of reaching the Top 100 stamp sites! It is one of my favorite blogs to check out daily. Go check out why...

Isn't that tote bag adorable?

Craft Buddy!

This is my craft buddy - Suz - and me at a scrapbooking fest last weekend. We had fun working on our never ending scrapbooks. We also made these cute bracelets using patterned paper and beads. I also learned how to spend a bunch of $2 bills! Seriously, who uses these? TTFN!

Suz is the ultimate crafter! Go check out her crafts at http://www.craftsbysooze.blogspot.com/. She and her husband are Waiting for Caroline to come from China. She uses her talents as a crafter to feed their adoption fund. Check out http://www.waitingforcaroline.blogspot.com/ for more of her cute crafts!

Light Bulb Moment!

Ever have one of those moments where you hear or read something, let it pass, and then all of the sudden... the light bulb over your head turns on?!?! Oh my goodness, why I didn't think of this earlier, I don't know. But what I do know... is that the next time I'm at Target, I'll be cruising to the Christmas Clearance!

I read a post on SCS where a genius bought Christmas cards on clearance at Target FOR THE ENVELOPES!!! They were 90% off. She got some 360 envelopes for like $5. That's about a penny per envelope!

Bonus... you can donate the cards to Church, Goodwill, a local hospital...

Hello??? Are you still there?? Hello?

Save some for me!!
