Young Living Essential Oils gift box

I’ve been busy traveling. Salt Lake City for five days for OnStage then, home a couple days and off to Naples, FL for a convention with Steve.  I told Steve I didn’t have time to go with him, but I’m so glad I went.  We had three days to walk along the beach and get some sun. Total rest and relaxation.  We also found an awesome Italian restaurant called Cafe Milano.  Don’t laugh, but we picked it because everything was half price from 3-5pm each day.  We liked it so much we went back the next day. 🙂

Part of the reason Steve wanted me to go to Florida is that sometimes I have suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).  Things I try to do daily to lessen this are pray, read the Bible, exercise, eat healthy, spend time in the sunshine, spend time doing something I enjoy- stamping!, spend time with my family and friends.  Two years ago I found something else that helps me.  Young Living Essential Oils.  My favorite oil blend is called Joy.  I mix it with water and spray it on like perfume.  I also put Lemon and other citrus fruit essential oils in my water.  It tastes great and helps me feel good.

Some of my friends that stamp with me have noticed I usually have oils diffusing in my Stamping Studio and they enjoy them as well.

Can you guess what’s in this cute little box made with the Delightful Daisy DSP and the Bow Builder Punch?

Yep, it’s a bottle of Peace and Calming essential oil.  Allison comes over frequently and helps me with stamping projects and running things through the Big Shot.  She also takes care of Maya and Molly (my sweet therapy pups) when we are gone.  Allison prefers to get paid in stamping supplies or essential oils.  Cedarwood is my favorite oil to diffuse while I sleep. Allison’s favorite sleeping oil is Peace & Calming.

Allison was happy with her cute box and favorite oil.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you are in the U.S.  I’m hosting and am almost ready.  Steve has the fudge made and the fudge boxes are ready to go.  Yes, the turkey, ham, potatoes, corn, pies, etc. are also ready. 🙂

STAMPARATUS and my OnStage swap cards

I had a fabulous time at OnStage in Salt Lake City! Thanks so much to all my customers, team members and those who purchase shares from me, for giving me the opportunity to attend all the Center Stage events for Silver Elite demos and above.  I feel totally blessed by you and can’t thank you enough!

Here’s my card for the “layerable” swap I participated in.  The idea was to make a 4″ x 5-1/4″ card front that you could take home and attach to a regular A2 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base.  The colors are Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black.  You can order the supplies to make this card at the bottom of this post.

Don’t you love the darling flowers created with the Support Ribbon Framelits?  All the framelit pieces for these swaps were cut by my Big Shot expert, Allison.  Thanks so much Allison!  I enjoyed sharing this swap with Shelli Gardner, Cofounder and Board Chair of Stampin Up and Patty Bennett, the million dollar seller who created the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and Support Ribbon Framelits that I used to make this card.

I made a Year of Cheer 3 Nugget box for my sweet teammate and roommate, Lynn Tague, here’s her blog. I also gave one to Shelby Freeman, a helpful and kind Stampin Up employee and my three uplines, Ann Schach, Mary Fish and Lisa Pretto, all Stampin Up demo big wigs!  So blessed to be part of their team!

Tip- Use your bone folder on the backside of the Copper Foil Sheet to make it easier to wrap around the Hershey Nugget.
