It's My Birthday!!

Normally I would try to hide the fact that I am one year older but since I can combine it with a SPECIAL for YOU, I will do just that.  During the month of March I am having a BLOG CANDY DRAWING for anyone who places an ON LINE order of $50 or more.  This Blog Candy has a value of over $40 and includes some of my favorite things...Designer Paper, Tombo Liquid Multipurpose Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Silver Dazzling Details, the stamp set SPECIAL SEASON and a booklet of tags.

All you need to do is go to http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/christiwaite/ and click on SHOP NOW.  From there is will take you to wherever you want to go.  Once I receive confirmation of your order I will put your name in the BLOG CANDY drawing.

Did you remember that we are still in the last month of Sale a bration?  Well, along with your $50 order you will get one item FREE from the Sale a bration flyer AND you get to choose a number on my 50/50 board.  As of today there are only 8 squares left (#'s 33, 37, 40, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46).  Once these are filled a number will be picked randomly with the Random Lite Generator for a winner.  The winner receives $50 in FREE product from ME!  You may choose anything from any of the current catalogs.

So won't you please join me in my birthday month for a gift for YOU!!

Now it is time to share a few hand stamped cards that I received this year

From Carla this cute card made using some of the beautiful designer paper that you can choose for your FREE product from the Sale a bration flyer

 I love this cool technique

 From Becky - Love it!!

 And from Glenda, my up line demonstrator in Stampin' Up!

Have a blessed day to you all!!

Patty Bennett, 

#1 If you bring a New-to-me guest to any class I will have a small gift for you and your guest.  This may vary from month to month – depending on how the spirit moves. 

#2  If you pre-pay for your class or place your order in advance, there will also be a small gift for you.  This will especially be helpful if you had signed up for a class and then were unable to make it.  I would then make up your cards for you and you would not be missing out and you would still get your cards.  I can take payment in cash, check or through Pay pal. If you are placing an order I can take Visa, Mastercard or Discover, just let me know which way you would like to pay. If you choose to place a qualifying order for a free class fee ($25 or more) after you have pre-paid for your class I will simply deduct it from your order.

And just a reminder the 50/50 board still has some squares left so we will keep that going until it is full before doing a random number draw. 

Don't forget to RSVP for the class(es) of your choice by 7PM the night before a class is held so I can have all your things prepared for you. 

Before I forget I want to give credit where credit is due for the ideas and layouts for these cards...
Patty Bennett, Karen Leveille, Debra Damm, Penny Smiley, Melissa Davies, Sandy, Kathryn, plus an idea from leadership conference.

Christmas Greetings From Friends

We had a fun Christmas Day that started with my hubby making a yummy breakfast for us and my parents, and then a leisurely day until we joined up with two of our kids for a late lunch early supper (lupper as our kids say), and to play games together.  Tyler and Gracie each got an ipod for Christmas so they were busy on those - Gracie is our 7 yr old computer whiz and constantly amazes us.

 Tyler also played a Wii game with his uncle Jeff - guess who won??

We had a simple make-your-own-sandwich buffet and I made these cookies to go along with our "lupper" - as Stampin' Up! Demonstrators we not only share our card ideas and layouts we occasionally share recipe ideas.  I saw this cookie idea on Lorri Heiling's blog.

 Lorri called it an Arizona snowman, but here in Michigan we are still waiting for snow so I guess this could be a Michigan snowman too.  I just thought it was so cute.  I used purchased sugar cookie dough (yes, I know, I cheated) and then the melted snow part is simply a powdered sugar glaze that sets up.  The rest I used my cake decorating frosting.

This year we played a new game that was a lot of fun called Say Anything, and then, of course, a rousing game of Apples to Apples.  How fun to laugh with your family, and just enjoy time together.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well. Now I will share with you the hand stamped Christmas cards that I/we received this year...

 This one is from a former day care family.  I love getting updated photos of my "kids"

 From Chris and Peggy, friends ever since our boys were born close together.

 From Carla, one of my dear friends in my down line

 Another down line gal, Donna made this cute snowman card.

From Debbie, a sweet gal who comes to classes and faithfully comes to my craft sales

 From Sarah who in in the Red Hot Stampers groups with me

 From Maggie another stamping friend in the Red Hot Stamper group

From Rachel my play day buddy and fellow Red Hot Stamper

 From Becky, my pen pal and dear friend since I was 12 years old, and now she is in my down line
I love how she put this cute little bird inside the card

From Sue, a dear friend, cousin by marriage, and was my first recruit in my Stampin' Up! downline

 This is from Judy, another Red Hot Stamper!  I LOVE how she duplicated the Christmas postage stamp that the PO sold this year. Didn't she do a great job!!

 From Lois, Linda and Bev who are faithful attenders of my Stamp A Stack classes

And last but not least - this one is from Glenda, the fearless leader of the Red Hot Stampers.  I just love getting these hand stamped cards. 

Thanks For Stopping By!
