Hostess Appreciation Night

I am so thankful for the gals who hostess a PRIVATE CARD MAKING CLASS

so I thought I would put together another Hostess Appreciation Night
to show my appreciation.

All the ladies made these cute portfolios

complete with matching note pad, ink pen and envelopes.

Can you believe it all started with this plain looking file folder??!!

I also gave each one that attended a new pack of Designer Paper to use to
decorate their portfolio and then they could take the remainder home with them.

Here is another one that was made that night.


I can't believe how poorly I am getting at taking pictures while events happen
so I never got a photo of the four lovely ladies who attended the
Hostess Appreciation Night and all their portfolios, as well as the super
cute magnet I made them.
But look what I did get a picture of...
The FOOD!! - how silly, but it was a big hit

A yummy olive cheese ball that even Dale likes and he doesn't like olives

and a cinnamon bread hot out of the oven!! Yummola!!

So if YOU want to be invited to next years Hostess Appreciation Night
all you have to do is sign on to be a hostess in 2012.
Right NOW is the perfect time - during Sale A Bration as the hostess
and guest benefits are super!!

and we will coordinate our calendars!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have A Blessed Day!!

Hostess Appreciation Night 2011

Last week I had a HOSTESS APPRECIATION NIGHT for all the ladies who had a workshop with me in 2010. To qualify to come to the Hostess Appreciation Night they had to have had a workshop in their home or mine or they could do a "book" party, but to qualify this way they needed at least one order besides their own order on the workshop.
10 ladies qualified and 9 were able to attend.
What fun we had!!! (and three signed up to have another workshop this year!)

The ladies made over a gift bag to carry their goodies home in


plus they made this cute mini candy bar holder that I saw on Dawn Griffith's blog

and then they made this beautiful portfolio with 6 matching cards.

They could add whatever sentiment they wanted to each card and the front or they could make a bunch of sentiments up and put them in this little baggie so they could give it as a gift and the receiver could add whichever sentiment worked best for her card giving.
Thanks to...Naomi Ball for her card layout idea, but I can't remember where I first saw the portfolio tutorial. I have used it several times with a variety of stamps.

My space is tight but the ladies don't seem to mind, they just enjoy being together.



Virgina is one of the ladies who signed on to be a demonstrator last year and she is doing a GREAT job!!

We played a game to see how well the ladies knew their Stampin' Up! catalog and idea book, and a lot of prizes were given away for things like ... Highest Sales...Most Guests...Most Bookings, etc.

What a joy it is to be with these wonderful ladies each month. I am so very thankful to be doing something that I truly enjoy.

So sign up now to have a workshop with me in my home or yours or you can do a "book" party and you will qualify to come to next years Hostess Appreciation Night.

So For Now...

Happy Stamping!!
