XP - What's It All About - Video

Thursday, October 31, 2019
It's the last day of October! - UNBELIEVABLE!

I want to get a head start into what I am doing during the entire month of November.

During the month of November I am having a fundraiser for our grandson, Sawyer. I am asking for any and all donations, and if you place an order with me, I will also donate 10% of all sales (online, classes, outside orders, etc.) to help out this family.

Please watch this video and my interview with my son, Jeff and our grandson, Sawyer.


Sawyer really is One in a Million because only one in every million are born with this genetic condition. There is NO CURE, so Sawyer, for the rest of his life needs to be totally protected from the sun at all times. Even on cloudy days it is not safe for him. You may hear people say "Children of the Night" and that is because they cannot be outside without all the protection until the sun is totally down.  In fact there is not another child in the whole state of Michigan that has this condition.

I will be posting more videos throughout the month of November so that you can see the progress we are making on the fund raiser. I would be so delighted if you would subscribe to my youtube channel so that you do not miss out on any of the videos.

To recap what you watched in the video - Sawyer was born with a genetic condition called Xeroderma Pigmentosum.
You can check out a link HERE to learn more
Can you imagine not being able to enjoy the sunshine? Play outside (without a ton of protectant gear on?) Run on the beach with your bare feet in the sand? And so much more.

Jeff, Jessica, Sawyer, Lily, Mercy and Jessica's mom will be traveling to NIH (National Institute of Health) in Maryland for testing and research in February 2020.

 Why am I holding this fund raiser now?
November is the month of giving and for being thankful for everything we have been blessed with, and I thought it was a perfect time, as well as them having the funds ahead of time to help with costs that will arise during the trip and throughout Sawyers life.

Sawyer is such a sweet boy, and is handling all the challenges very well, but it is so hard to think that Sawyer can never play outside like his friends. This is such a huge limitation, but they are handling it well, knowing that God never makes a mistake.

You can place your online order using the hostess code below OR you can mail a check to
Christi Waite
3299 Oak St.
Hudsonville, MI 49426

I have made this thermometer bubble to track the progress, and it will be so fun to be able to present  them with a (hopefully) large check at the end of the month. You can see that my goal it to reach AT LEAST $1,000.00.  Let's make this bubble burst!!


Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER  *cannot be combined with a free class offer*(minimum $50) during the month of November will receive TOILE TIDINGS GLITTER ENAMEL DOTS

Here is what Stampin' Up! tells us about the Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots:
Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots are sparkly, adhesive-backed dots. 
* 160 enamel stickers: 20 each of 2 colors: Garden Green, Real Red 
* 4 sizes: 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm
My note: these enamel dots are not too bulky and will not add to the price of your mailing, but they add a wonderful element to your cards. They are NOT just for Christmas just because they are green and red. 

Here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me

Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Tuesday, October 29, 2019
Today is our oldest grand daughter, Gracies, 14th birthday!!
Happy Birthday Gracie!!
This is the card that I made for her this year..
The blonde ponytail, the dress, the red lipstick, and wanting the day to be all about her - it's perfect!! 
Gracie is our dancer, and actress. She is in the school play, ONCE UPON A MATTRESS this fall and we cannot wait to see it.
We love our time spent with her each week, and when she gets off the bus we drive her to dance lessons or play practice. We love it when she brings along her friends to spend time here playing with the pups. (they were here more often when the puppies were still here, and she was a big help)
We take the grandkids out to dinner, and Gracie chose iHOP which was perfect for Lily as well
Once the grand kids turn 10 years old, their gift is the dollar amount of how old they are. At this age they love to have a little spending cash and it is super hard to chose gifts for them when they get older. 

Have a super fun birthday Gracie-girl!

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER  *cannot be combined with a free class offer*(minimum $50) during the month of October will receive the Snowflake Sequins from the Holiday Catalog.

Sentimental Sunday

Sunday, October 27, 2019
Dale's mother passed away in April of 1995 - It seems like forever ago.
Our children were only 16, 13, and 9 so they really missed out on knowing this sweet lady.
After she passed, Dale's dad asked us girls (daughters-in-law) if any of us would like to have any of her clothes.
Dad was very generous to his sweet wife and always bought her the best - especially in her later years when she got so tiny after all of the strokes.
I chose several of her items since no one else wanted them, then I very lovingly remade the skirts and dresses into little jumpers for the first born grand daughter to each of her boys. I think I made 5 total so that each of our kids would get one for their little girls.
When Lily was born 3 years ago, I gifted one of these jumpers to her along with a letter explaining the story behind it. Lily is now finally able to fit into it.  By the looks of it, she will be wearing it for a while! Lily is such a little peanut.
Lily is not only wearing her great grandma's jumper, she also carries her name. Lilyanna KATHERINE!
Great grandma Katherine would be so proud of all these sweet souls!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Look Who's Turning 3 Years Old Today!

Thursday, October 24, 2019
Someone's turning 3 year's old today!
Say Happy Birthday to Miss Lilyanna!!
Yaya (me) made this fun birthday card for Lily using the SO HOPPY TOGETHER Stamp Set from the 2019 Sale a bration and the LARGE LETTERS DIES
It was inspired by Vanessa Stokes on the Demonstrator Facebook Page.
And then I just had to pick up a cute froggy for her
Measurements for the card:
Granny Apple Green Card Stock 8" x 6 ½" scored at 3 ¼"
Whisper White 3" x 7-3/4"

 The grandkids get to choose a restaurant for Bumpa and Yaya to take them out to dinner.
Now that Lily is 3 years old she is old enough to come with on her first birthday dinner with us.
AND...
Since Gracie turns 14 in just 5 days from now, she agreed that we could all go out together. Lily LOVES her Gracie and vice versa - Gracie is so good with Lily.

 The restaurant chosen: iHOP! Lily requested Chicken, Mac 'n Cheese, Pancakes and raspberries! Quite a combo!! She ended up with pancakes and raspberries with eggs and bacon

 Thanks to everyone who took advantage of the 15% off - 24 hour sale yesterday! I was a great boost to my business and I really appreciate it!! My goal yet for the rest of October is $900 - will you join in and help me reach my goal?
