You don’t want to miss this event!

I've updated my upcoming classes :) Check it out HERE to see what's coming up.  But I'm especially excited about my fundraising event I have booked for Saturday April 17- Stamp Out Parkinson's.  The Parkinson's foundation is close to my heart.  My grandmother had Parkinson's and she was such a wonderful influence in my life. She showed me pure, unconditional love and brightness…  We always knew that going to Nan's house brought a mixture of wonderful cooking smells – pastry, roasts, tea buns…..  mmmmm  and more importantly lots of hugs and cuddles. When we got older – her house was just a happy, comfortable place to visit. 

So that's why I've chosen to do a fundraiser for the Parkinson's Foundation of Ottawa. I'm hoping that you will come and have lots of fun with us while we support a fantastic cause.  I'm including a photo below of my Nan and I, taken just before I got married.  I am wearing her wedding dress (which was over 50 years old at the time). I ended up having a Christening dress made out of it which both my kids used and my sister's kids as well.  Anyway, all that to say I hope you all come and have fun with us!

Here are the deets!  You can sign up and pay using the PayPal link on my website.  Every participant receives a FREE Butterfly Accent stamp from the Occasions mini catalogue!  Can't wait to see you there!

Shelli is Coming!!!

This week Shelli Gardner, the CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin' Up! is coming to our area and we are all so pumped.  One of my wonderful stamping friends Kim (she's one of our SparkleDaisies) won a Stampin' Up! challenge and since so many new girls joined her team in January, she won this incredible opportunity to have Shelli come to her house!  Shelli is going to do a customer workshop on Wed afternoon with Kim and then in the evening, demonstrators are invited to a stamping event with Kim and Shelli!!  This is a REALLY big deal!!!

In fact it is such a big deal that my Mom and her friend and downline Kerry are travelling from Newfoundland for it!  I'm picking them up at the airport bright and early Monday morning and we have three fun days planned.  The highlight of course is Wed night and seeing Shelli.

Just wanted to let you know my plans for the week lol!  Hope you are managing to fit in some stamping of your own.

Cheers!

A Messy Desk is a sign of……

A productive day!! Would you believe that when I started this morning this table was empty?? lol! No matter how much room I start out with, I always end up working on one teeny tiny area of the table…  I'm sure I can't be the only one! lol!

I've had so many stamping ideas in my head these days but just haven't gotten around to actually stamping them.  Until today!! I was home all day with (mostly) no distractions and just got so much stamping done – I LOVED it!  I'm organizing more classes (to be posted VERY SOON!) I'm just typing up dates and details now, so keep checking my classes page.

I thought I would give you a sneak peek of what I have to show you…. Here's one of the cards we are doing in an upcoming class.  I LOVE the current issue of Papercrafts and this card is a directly inspired by one of the cards on the cover.  LOVE it!  The sun is shining here and I can feel spring coming soon so this card just called to me.

I used our awesome Sending Love DSP from the Occasions mini catalogue – one side of EACH of the designs comes glittered!!  B-LING! I used the faux suede technique to give the flowers texture and our Red Corduroy Buttons.  The Big Shot cut out the letters in Spring and the scallop edge punch is used on the red cardstock in the middle.

I'm off to clean my desk!!  Happy stamping!
