GIRLS' LONG WEEKEND IN OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND

 

Last weekend, 3 childhood friends and myself flew to Ocean City, Maryland to visit another childhood friend.  Three of us have been close friends since we were babies, even going to the same college and becoming teachers!  So every chance we have, we get together for  fun, shopping and fellowship!  We got straight off the plane and headed to the nearest shopping center for lunch and shopping!!

 

The first full day Sybil treated us to a "Fun Day".  We started the day at Subway getting sandwiches for a picnic on Assateague Island!

We were hoping to see the wild horses that live on the island but not one was to be seen, but the view was beautiful!

We traveled all over the island looking for those horses but never saw one!  Are these beaches beautiful or what?

We call ourselves - "Southern Ladies Up To Something", sometimes we share what we are up to and other times. . .

 

Tomorrow I will share the fun we had on the Boardwalk!!

 

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Scrappin' Kit Stampin' Party

 

I was so excited after my stampin' party the other night, because two of my stampers over came their fear of cutting their paper for their cards.  Usually one of their friends does all the cutting for them!  Now they are ready to conquer the "cutting" world.

 

We used the Razzleberry Splash Scrappin Kit to create 4 cards of their choice.  I gave them the kit, uncut and pictures of sample cards they could make.  Then they were on their own.  Of course, I was having so much fun watching  the ladies having fun creating their own cards that I forgot to take pictures until the end.  I was able to  capture these two, thrilled with their accomplishment of the night. . . . over coming that fear of cutting paper.

The ladies had plenty of supplies left  to continue making their cards at home to share with their friends.

This is what stampin' is all about, sharing what we love, and seeing others loving it as much as we do!  And. . . seeing the smiles on their faces when they are successful!!

Thank you for stopping by today!

REGIONALS IN CHATTANOOGA!

 

Arrived home last night from a great Regional in Chattanooga!  Norma Castro, one of my downline, and I enjoyed our time learning new techniques, swapping with fellow demonstrators, and touring the beautiful city of Chattanooga!

 

This was Norma's first time attending a Stampin' Up! event and swapping big time!!

 

 

I was  so proud to have a downline attend Regionals with me!

 

 

These ladies from Centerville, Ohio, were very creative stampers that shared beautiful creations we will be sharing with our customers soon.

Savvy Southern Sisters' Awards Night

 

The Savvy Southern Sisters held their First Annual Awards Night this past week for those demonstrators living in the Charlotte area.

 

We began the night with a light dinner.

The Savvy Southern Sisters were reminded just how "fabulous" they were by the favor found at their place.

Attacked to the "Black Cherry Merlot" hand soap was a bow made with the wonderful Scalloped Tulle Ribbon, ( Love this ribbon!!!). accented with a pearl.  Attacked using the twine ribbon was the tag  stamped using the stamp set,  I AM,  we received at convention and embellished with the pearls.





 

Tomorrow I will share more highlights from our special night of celebration.

 

Thank you for stopping by.
