SAVVY SOUTHERN SISTERS QUARTERLY DOWNLINE MEETING!

 

Friday night the Savvy Southern Sisters held their  quarterly downline meeting while Shirley was  visiting family and friends !  Emphasis for the meeting was exploring new techniques to WOW our customers at future classes/camps.

 

 

The evening began with everyone catching up on what everyone has been doing since our last meeting and, of course, eating!!!  Here Sue, Norma, Michelle, Donna and Rhonda are listening to Shirley as she is sharing her new life in Texas!!

 

After sharing ideas of how to promote all the exciting promotions, several demonstrators shared a technique that was a favorite of theirs.  Norma shared the bleach technique along with samples she had created.  She was honest in her sharing, including the failures as well as the successes.  This was most helpful to those of us who have been a little hesitant about trying this one.

 

 

Donna used the "All Dressed Up" bundle to share how we could create a dress for any occasion using embellishments  from SU.

 

Hilary shared the shaving cream technique and plenty of WOW sample cards that all could not wait to start taking pictures for future use.

 

 

 

Hilary then shared  knowledge she gained from Leadership as she represented the Savvy Southern Sisters.  As you can tell, all were listening for any helpful information to use in growing our business .

Everyone left with loads of ideas for our classes/camps, smiles on our faces from all the laughter,  and the excitement of what is to come this 25th anniversary of Stampin' Us!

 

Make sure you check my website daily to make sure you are not missing out on any of  the exciting promotions SU is having during this  silver celebration!

 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Y'all come back now!

Come and join in the fun of stampin' with the Savvy Southern Sister Stampers.

MY MALLARD CREEK HEROES!

I am one lucky gal to have life-long friends who are there when needed!!!

I asked Edward, (the one with the beard on the far right), realtor and friend, if he could

help me move a couple of rooms of furniture out of my home to my garage to make room for

furniture I was moving from Mother's home. Not only did Edward show up but also the other members 

of the Bojangles's breakfast group.  Within 15 minutes, 2 bedrooms and a dining room were

emptied  leaving the content of drawers and dust that hadn't seen sunlight in years!!

Mallard Creek is changing physically, but the love, soul and heart of its people are still deeply embedded  within each of us!  I am truly blessed and proud to say "I'm a native of Mallard Creek!" and to

call these guys my cherished friends!

Thank you for being there for Mother and me!

Thanks to you for stopping by today to see what the Savvy Southern Sister is up to!

Yall come back now!!!

Visit from Julie!

 

The last couple of months have been rather busy with. . .well. . . LIFE!

Now with LIFE slowing down some or at least, getting back to normal,

I hope  to visit with you more.

 

The first of November, the highlight of my Stampin' Up! career happened. . .

my upline, Julie Gunhus traveled across country from Seattle to

Charlotte to visit the Savvy Southern Sisters!

 

Savvy Southern Sister Stampers

 

The first event of the day was, of course, swapping!  It wouldn't be

a Stampin' Up! affair without swapping of ideas!

 

 

After swapping, a short downline meeting, and a question and answer

period with Julie, it was time to get busy doing with we love doing the most. . .

STAMPIN'!.  Julie led a scrapbooking class using

 the "Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' kit!

 

 

 

After a fun day of fellowship, lots of  laughter, good food, good conversations,

and creative stampin', Julie and I took a tour of Sue's craft cabin and

the city of Charlotte.  A quick change of clothes, we headed to the

Speedway Club for a relaxing dinner and a chance for me to

pick Julie's brain!!! 

 

 

Julie, a BIG thank you for your motivating visit, your beautiful friendship,

and the perfect timing of your trip.  You appeared when I needed

a friend the most!!!  You are the BEST! 

 

Thank you for stopping by to check out what the Savvy Southern Stampers

have been up to lately!

 

Y'all come back, now!

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.

 

Y'all come back now!
