Spider or snowflake?

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today I want to talk about being careful with what you leave around.

I was cleaning up a pile after one of the events last month. And I know it is spring so I am looking for more bugs than usual. But this bug was huge and gnarly looking. I had never seen something like this before. What could it be? Was it native to here? Could it kill me?

I finally get the courage up to go look a bit closer. (This is when I am wishing that hubby is home.) And it looks dead. So I prepare to take it outside in a box and burn the entire thing. Right? That is the appropriate reaction?

Well, it is a black die cut snowflake. No spider. Just a crumpled up snowflake.

Be careful, those snowflakes will get you.

I hope you had a laugh after you knew.

Organizing with the new catalog!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Instead of a technique today I thought you might want an organization tip. Since the new catalog just came out and we all have to figure out how everything is going to fit (again).

So I thought I would talk about how I organize my Designer Series Papers or 12X12’s. I have magazine holders that are 14 inches across. When I unwrap the paper I take the backing or chipboard and a piece of Basic White Card Stock. With a sharpie or marker I write the name of the paper pack and glue it to the chipboard to create a tab. I then “file” my papers in the holder. I don’t usually worry about dust but I do think about sun. They are pretty protected in these holders.

If you want to do something similar these holders are available in just about every office supply store, online or in person. Just make sure the opening is truly 14 inches.

Last Day for Retiring Items

It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week and maybe a bit beyond.

If you would like a catalog please contact me!

For those of you participating in the BOGO sale the guidelines can be found at https://mailchi.mp/05caa16b4388/bogo-guidelines.

When you would like to order please consider qualifying for the Club order. For this Club from May 1-15 order $50 or more in product with host code NC3M32MN or using the link https://www.stampinup.com?hostcode=NC3M32MN to qualify. (You can also place your order directly with me but it will not be submitted until May 15.) There is no commitment unlike past Clubs. There is simply a bonus.

Please remember that some items will increase in price starting tomorrow.

I am open today for Open Day sessions.

And Saturday I will be at the 29 Palms Farmers Market from 8-1! Come see what’s new and get your voucher for $5 off any class.

And if you didn’t know, this is the start of the new year for you! This is when the Open House has just finished, all the VIP’s have been recognized, and now it’s time to start over. So would you like to be a VIP?

Here’s what this means…extra gifts during the Open House, first call for BOGO, priority shopping for the Rubber Rummage Sale, and more!

So how do you become a VIP? Glad you asked.

  • Host a class. Any of my classes except craft class are up for a host. So if you see something you like or want something extra just tell me. The location is up to you, projects are up to you, and the food too! All that is required is that you invite and that two crafters actually attend.
  • Order $150 or more in product in one order.
  • Join my Team. That doesn’t mean you have to do classes, fairs, or events. There is no risk, no credit checks, and you don’t pay shipping or tax (since you have a 20% discount). So…the catch…oh yes, buy (or sell) $300 of product per quarter. That’s it. For more details please go to https://stampingwithjoni.wordpress.com/benefits-to-being-a-part-of-the-team/.

Let me know what version of VIP looks like for you!

Happy Crafting!
