back to basics

My attempt at making a back to basics video. Please ignore the speech pattern in the beginning.  I knew what I wanted to say I just couldn't make the words come out. But here we go. I hope this helps some of you just starting out. The next video will talk more about adding layers and adding stamps. But today was just about how to get your cardstock started.

 thats it for today,  

TaTa for now! 

I am home! And very happy to be here! Here are a few more pictures from our last evening together in New Orleans! We had such a great time! Now that I am home I promise no more NOLA pictures! 

And now its back to reality! What kinds of things would you like to see here? I will try to post a card or two and maybe a few quick videos this week for you! I would love your feed back, so leave me a quick note and tell me what you would like to see on my blog! I promise to keep the kitty pictures to a minimum! See you later this week, Ta Ta for now

 

 Its very early here in NOLA! Going home today! So much fun and information packed into these past few days! I am going home exhausted but so fun of memories and I have so many new ideas to help my Stampin Up! business grow! We ended last night with  a parade in the French Quarter, and WE were the parade! Such fun! There were bands, and jesters and beads and parasols and masks and JOY! I smiled for 2 hours straight! 

TaTa for now dear friends! Will be doing an update later, after sleep! 

PS, thinking about doing a few videos... what would YOU like to see/learn about? 

 Hello from NOLA!  I am here in New Orleans at a Stampin Up! Leaders event! I am having a good time and learning so much! I find New Orleans to be very polite, at least so far every local I have met has been happy and kind and polite!! (but to be fair I 've only been on Canal Street and at the hotel here in the French Quarter)  . I will share a few silly photos from yesterday and today. We are having a real good time! I am here with my upline Susan. She is in the pictures with me! I may not be able to get to my blog tomorrow, as it a very full day for us and there is a special activity tomorrow evening. We will fly home on Sunday, so I will most likely be back to my blog again on Monday! Here is some of the fun....

 Remember those round Stampin Up! trash bins?? I use mine all the time! Here is a warning for you , Kittens can fit in them! LOL 

During class Lilo got curious and jumped into the bin I had clipped to the table, the weight of her made it fall to fhe floor. Lilo thought that was great fun, and did it twice!  The second time I just left it on the floor.  She had a grand time playing with pieces of card stock. She played so hard she fell asleep! How cute is that? My friend Deb took this picture. We thought it was so funny that the Thank You was by her butt, like she was saying thanks for the new toys!

Here she is helping me design cards for an upcoming class. 

Just thought I would share some cuteness with you! More adventures with Lilo to follow! 

TaTa for now! 

WOW! Day 3 woo hoo!!  I am busy packing my bag for New Orleans for the weekend. I will  be meeting with other Stampin Up! leaders who are Silver Elite and above for fun filled jammed packed full of info get together! This is our first in person event in 3 years!
