2019-20 Annual Catalog Product Shares

It’s Time for my 2019-20 Annual Catalog Product Shares

Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares that I’ve done:

“Beth, I just now had time to open my holiday share.  You did a wonderful job of separating all the paper and the ribbon and packaging everything. I know you spent a lot of time and effort.  Everything is so perfect, I can’t wait to start crafting.  Thanks again for the share. Donna”

“Beth, the paper share looks great. Thanks for all the careful labeling and packaging. I love all the papers. Also, the fast delivery. Thanks, Nancy”

Why participate in shares? Shares are an inexpensive way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of what it would cost you to purchase all of them yourself.   Customers and Demos alike love having a little bit of everything from the new catalog.  When you see that adorable card on Pinterest, you’ll be able to make it because you bought the “I want it all” share!

How Shares Work

  • Simply  EMAIL ME (Beth@StampingMom.com) to reserve your spot in a share. I will then ask you to send me the money via PayPal, or you may send a check.
  • Once I receive the products, I will cut, count, measure and package up your goodies pronto!
  • Your papers will be lovingly wrapped and identified to protect them; ribbons will be rolled; and embellishments will be placed into small plastic bags.  Your shares will be sent out via Priority Mail.
  • Please note my paper shares are 6″ x 12″ for most designs.  A lot of people do 6″ x 6″, so you are getting twice as much paper with my shares.

Here’s my herb garden. The oregano on the top of the picture is amazing. Our good friend Ken Pollack gave me a start of this two years ago and I never need to buy oregano again. 🙂 The sage on either side of the pink flower also made it through the winter. The other herbs are newly planted. We go through lots of basil and cilantro, so I buy one plant of each and then plant lots of seeds for the rest of the summer.

This is year two for my asparagus. It’s already so tall we had to add twine to hold it up. The dirt space in front has Spinach and Lettuce seeds planted. Behind the asparagus is one tomato plant. You can also see hostas in the background. If you want any hostas next April, let me know. We have more hostas than we know what to do with.

I’ve always planted Pansies in the Spring, but this year Steve accidentally bought Violas. Best mistake ever! They smell amazing and I don’t have to dead head them. I’ve had these since April 7 and haven’t touched them. From now on we are always planting Violas!

We’ve had a lot of very dark and rainy days lately, but my sweet pup, Molly, is here to prove that she did get to sun herself on the deck one day recently.

Blessings,

Beth

There’s another new challenge at Use Your Stuff this week. This week’s challenge is celebrating Moms – your mom, your grandma, aunt, cousin, sister, step mom, so many different kinds of moms that we have! Please head over and join our challenge here.

Here’s Marcelyn having a blast at OnStage last month. Her very first official Stampin Up event happened just a few weeks before her 80th birthday. Thanks to all of you that have sent Marcelyn birthday cards! She’s still getting them, so if you haven’t sent one yet, it’s not too late.

If you’re here for the first time and don’t know who I’m talking about, Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter.  She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays. Today I’m going to share some of the birthday cards Marcelyn received. I’l share more of them on future Mondays.

Ruth Sollberger from Australia sent Marcelyn this beautiful card. I wonder if Ruth knew this is one of Marcelyn’s all time favorite sets?!

Ruth also sent this cute Tea Bag Holder. So thoughtful!

Chris sent this cute card! This Happiness Blooms DSP was one of my favorites and is still available while supplies last or through June 3, 2019.

This darling card came from Donna H from Ontario! This makes me want to get out my Happy Tails stamp set. I’m so glad this set is carrying over to the new catalog.

Sue is from New Jersey and I love her beautiful card! I’d love to know how she made the beautiful watercolor background. Thanks so much to all of you for sending cards from all over the world. Each and every card means so much to Marcelyn. It makes my heart happy too! There are many more cards to show and I hope to have more ready for next Monday.

We had a fun weekend! Steve did his first triathlon since his bike crash last July. Thankfully this one went very well and without incident! Steve and I then spent about four hours planting herbs, vegetables, flowers and a blueberry bush. We’ve had raspberries and strawberries for several years but this is our first blueberry. We weren’t sure where to plant it, so ended up putting it in our raspberry garden. If this was a mistake, please let me know soon. 🙂

We also planted two Peonies. I’ve never had those before either. Steve’s favorite vegetables to grow are cucumbers, onions, green onions, garlic and red peppers. He likes to call one of our small gardens his “Guacamole Garden.” What about avocados? Well, he gave me two avocado plants for Mother’s day two years ago. I’ve kept them alive in our Sun Room, but recently they’ve started not looking so good. I think we are going to have to keep buying the avocados!

We went to church with two of our boys, one girlfriend, and two of our nieces. The seven of us then went to our house and everyone helped get dinner ready and make Rhubarb Crisp (fresh from our garden and it was yummy:) Everyone played cards and I was the biggest loser for the second week in a row. I typically do well with board games and card games, but I’m on a losing streak.

We’ve enjoyed having two of our kids home this summer and visits from many of their friends. I feel a little like we’re running a Bed & Breakfast, but Steve and I love having our kids and their friends around. I hope this phase lasts a long time.

You’ve been asking about shares. Yes, I’m offering them again and will get the details to you soon! I will have paper, ribbon and embellishment shares. We can’t order the supplies until June 4.

My new catalogs have arrived and I’m getting ready to send them out. If you don’t already have a Stampin Up demo, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I will send you a catalog. If you already purchase from someone else, please check with them and they will get a catalog for you.

Please stop by my Stamping Mom Facebook page on Wednesday at noon CST. I’ve got a darling card to show you!

Blessings,

Beth
