Operation Gratitude

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

Do you have extra cards with envelopes laying around? I am going to be mailing a package to Operation Gratitude of blank cards for them to mail out in care packages. (If you don’t know about Operation Gratitude please go to https://www.operationgratitude.com/.)

Please have them to me by Saturday, August 27 during the Open Day Session. You can mail or drop off.

Thank you for helping out!

Happy Crafting!

Deal of the Day Announced for Landers

Come on out on Saturday from 10-2 in Landers for some new things added to the Clearance Section, a chance to win the raffle, and the Deal of the Day!

This promotion is only through me and is only during the event. You can order by contacting me or showing up at my booth.

The Deal of the Day is to purchase a Stampin’ Seal Refill and get the cartridge FREE! I only have 7 so don’t wait!

I also have a raffle of the Take Your Pick Tool at my booth as well as cards being raffled with the event. You have many chances to win on Saturday and you don’t need to be present to win for any of them!

And last, but not least, look for the new clearance section where everything is 50% off or more! New items have been added just in the last few days. Look for the patriotic sparklies.

See you soon!

When Jewels Become Bubbles

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!

Today I want to talk to you about how jewels can become bubbles. Depending on the placement of your embellishments they can become different things. Here are just a few: bubbles for a bath or a fish, boundaries for a corner, the center of a flower or snowflake, the hem on a dress, and the list goes on. The things jewels can become is limited by your imagination.

But for today they are bubbles for a bath for a hippo.

When you create with this idea please post your photos of your project to my page, https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

Happy Crafting!

Let the Paper Do the Talking

The regular mats are 5″ X 3 3/4″ for the outer Starry Sky one and 4 1/2″ X 3 1/4″ for the inner Daffodil Delight.

Once You’re Down

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to focus on resting so you can be recharged for the week.

Have you noticed with your cell phone that once it gets low it seems to die faster? And once your phone dies it seems to take forever to recharge? Have you noticed that with yourself as well?

I know, for me, that if I am tired exhausted is close to follow. So what’s the trick? For me it has been to not allow myself to get to that point. To catch myself and do some self-care before I absolutely need it.

How do you do self-care? Is it a nice, long bath? A good book to read? Being around people? Being alone? Comment with your favorite.

Happy Crafting!

Drumroll…please! Today’s winner is actually two people. It was slow at the market with the heat so I thought why not do two? So Sandy Smith and Maria Savage are both winners of the Celebrate Today Magnet Board Kit!

Happy Crafting!
