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!

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 🙂

Does your daughter want a new phone case all the time?  Get her a clear case and then switch out the Designer Series Paper (DSP) and she can have all the cases she wants. 🙂  I made the silver glimmer case after I saw the Kate Spade Gold Glimmer case below.

The Kate Spade case was $45 and my Silver Glimmer case was about 50 cents. 🙂

I posted the picture below on Facebook yesterday, and it cracked some people up, so I thought I’d post it again here, in case you didn’t see it.

So Abby usually wraps most of the Christmas presents at our house, but my husband, Steve, decided to wrap something this year. As he was cutting he said, “Wow these are the best scissors ever!” I looked over to see him using my expensive Stampin’ Up! “Ribbon only” scissors. I then turned into the woman shown below. How did he even find them? I have them hidden in my craft room, with easy access to regular scissors all over the house. Anyone who crafts with me knows my ribbon scissors have ribbon tied to them and they have never touched paper until today. Thankfully, Steve is still intact.

The oval punch is optional.  What you really need is a slit cut big enough to hold your gift card which is typically 3-1/2″.

So I mentioned last week that I had a Surprise activity planned for Forced Family Fun during our Christmas break.  I got some emails asking, “What exactly is Forced Family Fun?”.  Well, typically when kids become teenagers they want to hang out with their friends or sit in their room alone on their electronics.  Years ago, Steve and I came up with Forced Family Fun to alleviate this problem.  We would intentionally plan activities with required participation.  Sometimes we play cards or board games, have a special dinner, go for a hike or mini golfing, etc.  Tonight we went to church, dinner and then our Surprise Forced Family Fun was to go to an Escape Room.  We had one hour to do puzzles and clues and figure out how to escape from a locked room.  It takes a lot of team work and cooperation.  We did the Informant Escape Room in West Des Moines.  It was a blast!  We escaped in 53 minutes!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
