It’s time for my 2019 Occasions Catalog Shares

If you’d like to be in my first round of shares email me today, so you can be included in my first order!

Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares 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 the US Postal Service.
  • 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.
  • You can choose a Paper Share or an I Want It All Share.

(If you want more than 1 yard of each ribbon, add $7 for an additional yard of each ribbon.)

Unfortunately the window in my Sunroom cracked today.  Sean walked in this afternoon and saw my patch job of duct tape trying to hold the window together.  He said, “I once saw a show, ‘5 Sure Signs You’re A Redneck,’ and I’m pretty sure we would qualify now since you’ve used duct tape to hold the window together.” OK, maybe he has a point…  The bad news is my two year old window is cracked.  The good news is, I called Renewal by Anderson in Valley Junction where we bought the windows, and it is fully covered by the warranty and will cost me nothing to replace! Yeah!  If you live in the Des Moines area I totally recommend getting your window replacements from these fine folks.  🙂  Now I’m debating if I should tell my new neighbors in the red house that we will get a new window in a few weeks or should I just let them wonder if they did indeed move next door to folks who fix broken windows with duct tape! 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

#festivefridaychallenge, #FF0024

Please head over to Festive Friday Challenge and join us.

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!  We had the McCullough Christmas in Davenport, the Olson Christmas in Kansas City and we celebrated just the six of us in Des Moines, attending the amazing Christmas Eve service at our church.  We also had fun at the annual Knoff family game night!

Steve recently traded his car for a vehicle big enough for the six of us to travel together.  We now know our kids liked it better when we had to take two vehicles everywhere. LOL!  Abby, Keegan and I usually took one car and would sing Broadway musicals. I’m not sure what the older boys and Steve did in their car, but I do know everyone was happier with no on in the far back getting car sick. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
