Back from San Antonio!

It's been BUSY around here!!!!! After the holiday chaos I launched right into a huge Sale-A-Bration kick off event for The Heartfelt Stampers Team. Then, it was onward to San Antonio for Stampin' Up's Leadership Conference!!! I haven't pulled the photos off my camera yet, but here are 2 that were e-mailed to me…. here's my mom and I on the Riverwalk:

And here's a picture from the Advisory Board Reunion/Lunch (where I ate the most DELICIOUS soup I'm STILL thinking about….)

And one of my highlights of the trip…. We made it onto the set for the filming of the Series Finale of Extreme Homemakeover!!! The first picture is when we THOUGHT we had it good being in the crowd behind a random guy wearing a T-Shirt. Yeah, well, little did we know! After some persistent nudging forward sneaking…. and climbing over walls…. We got 4 rows front and center! And it was UNREAL. These aren't very good quality (camera photos) since my camera battery died at the WORST possible moment… But that's irrelevant : )… look at how close we were to Ty Pennington and Bachelorette  Ally!! I mean seriously!

What a great trip! I'll be sure to share more once I get my photos uploaded… I'm still having Mega Computer issues!

So today was "get cards out!" day! I sent out all of my JANUARY & FEBRUARY BIRTHDAY CARDS and 20% OFF COUPONS!!!! Are YOU a part of my Birthday Club?!?

Stampin' Up! policies regarding shares have changed in the past year, so I'm no longer able to put PayPal links up for you to purchase the shares directly online.  Instead, please e-mail me if you'd like to purchase an Occasions Mini Share. I'll order product immediately when a share fills. The Accessory & Ribbon Shares fill at 4 shares and the Paper Share fills at 8 shares. Once I order the product, they have to come into me to be re-packaged and ship back out to you. You'll want to allow approx. 2 weeks for delivery to you once the share has filled. I'll send you a PayPal invoice to finalize your order. I can also accept credit card, check, money order or cash.

Shipping your shares to you is not included in the above prices — if you need your share order shipped to you, there will be an additional shipping charge depending on the weight and quantity ordered – shipping is via USPS.
