Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who have supported my business in Stampin' Up!  I am happy to announce that I achieved my $100,000.00 goal already!! And it is all because of YOU!!

I thought there would be some grand hoopla when it happened, but I didn't even notice it.  My upline, Glenda, sent out a congratulations on our Facebook page, and I was shocked!! So thank you again for your business!!  Hopefully the next $100,000.00 won't take nearly 8 years!!
I just love to get fun stuff in the mail, don't you?  Instead of all the bills or nonsense mail, it is nice to get a personal card from someone who cares about you and even takes the time to hand stamp a card for you.  This next card is a beauty that my friend, Carla, sent me for Thanksgiving.

I LOVE it!! Thank you Carla!!

Tomorrow will be filled with Thanksgiving day preparations and I will have my helper (Gracie) with me all day.

Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving!

Valentines...

And for his birthday... inspired by Kim Ransom

This card teams up the WORLD MAP background stamp with the LOVE YOU MORE stamp set.  Love the feel that the masculine BURLAP RIBBON and the big metal button lends to the card.  The bow threaded through the button was taken from a strand of the burlap ribbon.
