As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator there is lots of support and help we can take advantage of to run our business. There is a Business Development Program that Stampin’ Up! offers, and I joined this. My BDA is ReNee, and I love working with her. I always tell her she “kicks my butt in the nicest possible way” as she helps me set goals and be diligent in my business.
I got to meet ReNee face to face at OnStage, so I wanted to make her a card to let her know how much I appreciate her help.
I was at OnStage recently, and shared a room with 2 great friends. We always like to share little gifts with our roommates, so I made these note pads for them.

Yesterday was my sister Patrice’s birthday, and her son’s decided to surprise her with a dinner of 35-40 of her closest friends and family!

Here is the birthday card I made for her.

Last week I was at OnStage Live in Orlando Florida. Oh I could go on for hours about how wonderful it was, but you really need to be there to fully understand it all. The people you meet, and the friends you make are one big reason why this is such an awesome event. An easy way to make new friends is by sharing swaps. We all make a bunch of one card, then swap them with each other. We all go home with lots of new creative ideas. Here is one of the swap cards I made.
