Some think home is what you show people. To me it’s where I am comfortable and can make a creative mess.
What’s your mess look like?

Sometimes easy is what it takes.
I have done advanced cards, tutorials, classes, and more. But sometimes keeping it simple is what it is all about. Sometimes the card just needs to get in the mail. Don’t always do a fancy fold. Sometimes it’s the handwritten portion that someone will treasure. So today I am encouraging you to keep a kit on hand whether it be from Paper Pumpkin, the catalog, or one you have put together. I want you to be able to create a card quickly.
Here are the photos from last night’s facebook live as well as the link to youtube. Enjoy and go create!

Crafty friends are the best.
Have you been so overwhelmed with a project that you just can’t even start? This is where your crafty friends come in to play. Contact that fellow crafter and have them help you. If nothing else you can grab some take-out, have some good laughs, and get some cutting done. You will be closer to finishing than before.
So next time the pity party invitation gets sent please rsvp no. Call a friend and start taking some bites out of that elephant. Before you know it your happy mail will be stamped and out in the box.
Happy Crafting!

Blends go just before the line.
If you’ve played with the new Stampin’ Blends then you probably already know this. Do not go all the way to the line. An alcohol-based marker tends to bleed a bit so leave a tiny bit of white space before the line. You can always go back and fill it in but you can’t do much if it floats past that border. And if you’re stamping with the blends please use a memento ink pad.
Here’s the finished example while leaving a little wiggle room.

Start cleaning your space.
One extra box…
This week Serina is hosting the Perennial Birthday Box kit class on Saturday from 10-2. She will be bringing lunch and it is sure to be yummy. I have ordered one extra box so if you haven’t decided yet you still have one more chance to attend. Cost of the class is $35 and includes the box, 16 cards, and lunch. Let me know that you are coming!
I hope by now you have found the President’s Day promotion. If you haven’t, check posts or emails from 6 am. I posted here, facebook, and via email. This promotion through me is good through midnight.
Just a reminder that there will be drop in times today.

President’s Day Promotion
Drumroll please…here is what you have been waiting for. This is the President’s Day promotion that is good for only today and only through me. This is not a corporate Stampin’ Up! promotion and cannot be submitted online. Please contact me via message, email, text, or drop by to let me know you want to take part in this deal.
Here are the details…since Sale-A-Bration is halfway over I figured you could use a halfway sale. If you order $25 in product you will earn a Sale-A-Bration item for FREE from this list.
- Shimmer ribbon combo pack (1 available)
- Sweet soiree memories & more card pack (1 available)
- Amazing you (clear mount)(1 available)
- Beautiful peacock (2 available)
- Epic celebrations (clear mount)(1 available)
- Heartfelt blooms (clear mount)(1 available)
- Lots of lavender (3 available)
- Party pandas (clear mount)(2 available)
This list is all first come first serve and while supplies last. These are from my personal stash and I am offering this personally. If you order $50 then you can choose 2 Sale-A-Bration items (one from this list and one from the corporate promotion). $75 in product will get you your choice of 3 Sale-A-Bration items and so on.
Here’s to celebrating going only halfway!

Resting today?
Are you resting today? Is this the day you re-charge? For me it’s a day to get caught up and get back into a routine. Wish me luck.

P.S. Come back tomorrow at 6 am for the President’s Day Sale!
Yard sales, promotions, and a holiday weekend.
Are you finding any great yard sales this weekend? Any great sales that I can’t pass up? Sandy told me that the craft stores all have Valentine’s decorations, candies, ribbons, etc. for about 75% off. Anyone else find anything great?
For Stampin’ Up! we are halfway through Sale-A-Bration now. The second release has happened! If you would like a brochure for the second brochure please just say so.
Here’s a link to the electronic version…https://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/Sale-A-Bration%202018/2nd%20Release/20180216_SAB18-2_en-US.pdf

Playing to lighten up life.
Do you remember as a little kid when that one crazy uncle would “steal” your nose? I had an uncle that stole my nose and my ear. It made me laugh every time.
So what do you do to lighten up? Life can get so serious. What do you do to laugh?
Laughter has been proven to reduce stress and decrease pain. It relaxes your muscles. Here is the link to the article I am referencing…https://www.helpguide.org/articles/mental-health/laughter-is-the-best-medicine.htm
So on this day that we give back maybe give someone a laugh and not just a smile.
Happy Crafting!

Joni 🙂
