When I first saw the new Mini catalog, I knew I would purchase the Timeless Tulips Bundle. I love flowers and cute cards that can be made quickly. You can order this bundle for a ten percent discount by clicking on the picture at the bottom of this post. This is available while supplies last or until June 2, 2020. Here a free PDF showing the supplies and directions to make this card. I’ll be doing a Facebook Live video at noon Central time on Wednesday, Jan 8, 2020 showing how to make this card. Please join me!

The Timeless Tulips bundle is great to make cards, 3-D items and scrapbook pages. What will you make with it?

It’s our favorite time of the year at Stampin’ Up, Sale-A-Bration! For each $50 of product ordered, you choose another free gift! Want to see what free gifts you can choose? Here’s the Sale_A-Bration PDF

We had a fun weekend and got to see two of our kids. Abby came home from Iowa City and Ryan stopped over after church for Sunday Brunch. Sunday Brunch at our house is usually yummy eggs, sour dough toast and guacamole. Steve made today’s eggs with sauteed onions and peppers, pulled roast beef and white cheddar cheese. I showed Ryan how the cool people put guac on their bread to make Avocado Toast- yum! The eggs were even better because they were farm fresh eggs from my BSF friend, Christy. Thanks Christy!

Steve is recovering nicely from knee surgery, but still having lots of heart episodes. On the evening of New Year’s Day, I came close to calling 911. Steve and I were taking down the Christmas tree and he almost passed out. We don’t have a surgery date scheduled yet, but hope the referral to Mayo goes through. He did spend this weekend with a heart monitor on so maybe we’ll find out more soon.

Class Schedule– If you live in the Des Moines area and would like to come to classes at my Stamping Studio, please save the following dates: Jan 23 at 1pm and 6pm, Feb 27 at 1pm and 6pm and March 26 at 1pm and 6pm. The dates are subject to change based on when we need to take trips to Mayo and when Steve’s surgery is scheduled. Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll reserve a spot for you!

Hope you and your family are doing well!

Blessings,

Beth
