Here I am!

Hey everyone! So here I am trying my hand at blogging! This is relatively new to me, so please bear with me and any mistakes I make! Just don't laugh at me too hard, or if you do, don't tell me, okay!! First of all, a special thanks to my BFF, Erica, for helping me set up this blog. She was only here about a month and a half ago helping me and its taken me this long to do something with it! So anyways, here goes!

Stampmates Club (somebody PLEASE help come up with a cooler name for our club!)

So, there's been some conflict as to what dates will work for everyone for the club. Some wanted a weekday, others, a weekend. So here's what I propose. I'll try this month running it two days. We'll go with the original Monday night, January the 18th, at 7:00 p.m., and then again on Saturday, January 23rd, same time. If everyone could please email me to let me know which night you'll be attending, I would appreciate it.

Here's our updated member list:

Erica - January
Lujza - February
Mary Lou - March
Rosemarie - April
Laura - May
Karen - June
Lori - July
Christina - August
Christine - September

This is the order in which you all signed up, and I thought this would be the best way to determine the order in which you will receive your Hostess Benefits. So whatever month is beside your name, that is the month that its your turn to play "hostess". I'm more than happy to host all the club meetings at my house. This saves you from tidying, etc. for company, and I do have the room, after all. But I do ask that as hostess, you bring a little snack to share with the group. Nothing fancy, homemade or store-bought, doesn't matter, it'll just help out. We'll also complete a project at each meeting, which I'll supply at no cost to you. Here's a sneak peek at January's projects:


Please be sure to bring with you your bag-o-basics - adhesives, pop dots, scissors, emery board, etc. If you happen to have a SU Chocolate Chip ink pad, any SU Stamp-n-Write markers and/or a crop-a-dile, that would be helpful in cutting down wait time for supplies. I'm so excited about our first get-together! See you all on either the 18th or the 23rd!

Valentine Card Class - February 6th, 7:00p.m.
$10.00

These cards are quick and cute! We'll be using a couple of new Valentine's stamp sets, Stampin' Write markers, and one of Stampin' Up's new punches. We'll make two of each card, so you'll go home with eight sweet Valentines for Cupid to deliver to your little loves, plus a small bonus project!

And here's our class list so far:
Lujza
Mary Lou
Rosmarie
Erica
Karen
Christina
Renee
Lori

Double 12x12 Layout Class - February 13, 7:00p.m.
I've had a few requests for Layout classes, and I'm MORE than happy to do this! I'm currently working on a couple layouts, and as soon as they're complete, I'll post them (in the next couple of days). I'm estimating that the class would probably be in the $15 - $20 range, definitely no more. If you're interested in this, please email me. This is not a commitment, I'm just curious to see how many would be interested in doing layouts.

So that's it for my first post! Thanks for taking the time to check it out! I'll talk to you all again soon!
