I am truly, TRULY blessed.
I love my Stampin' Up! business–and all the wonderful people I've met, the friends and customers that make my "job" so fulfilling.
Yesterday I told you about my longest-running OFFICIAL club.
Today is about my first NON-official club, a couple of which are still in a club today….
It starts with my sister Teresa–my 3rd(?) hostess ever, also from February, 2002.
She WAS who got me HOOKED on Stampin' Up! afterall!!!! 😉 ♥
She invited all her co-workers. (She worked in Endoscopy; that's why I still sometimes call their club "endo.")
Diane & Elaine were not AT this workshop.
But after everyone placed orders and talked about how much fun they had, I asked, "who's having the next one?"
While Karen, was outside getting her purse or something, [we] nominated her to be the next hostess. 😀
Everyone took turns having the workshop at their house–AND it became dinner, too!
Eat first. Stamp second.
You know. Priorities.
For a few years–EVERY month–we met at someone's house for dinner & a workshop. (Ooo, THAT should be the name of a new club!! *Ãœ*)
One time we even traveled to near Lansing on a Saturday, because one of the regulars moved there! [I STILL covet the size of her kitchen drawers!]
Hostesses I can remember: Teresa, Karen, Deb A, Sue, Elaine, Diane, Deb B, April, Debbie, Tracie, Stacy, Liz (Diane still quotes from that workshop!)
I cherish those memories–including the workshop when my voice was TOTALLY, COMPLETELY GONE FOR A WEEK; and while I demonstrated, Teresa did all the talking. *Ãœ*
[I was "Vanna" that time!]
This group turned into a smaller official club, during which I can picture my 6-month old nephew Eddie [now 10 1/2] falling asleep across the table from me while sitting sweetly on Teresa's lap.
I have so much fun stamping with all of you!!
Thank you for all the great memories and fun!!
Oh and this group–besides the 2 already mentioned–was also the starter for pretty much all the REST of my Saturday club!! CRAZY!!
Love you all!!
Ok, now I have a different card for you.
This is HEY, CHICK from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog:
HA!!! Isn't it great????
I feel like this will be an item that keeps going on back order briefly.
Love.
Catalogs went out today, so you should be receiving them soon!
Have fun shopping!!
You can't order from the Occasions or SAB Catalogs until January 4.
But there's still time to get in on Year End Closeouts!
Have a great night! (Yah, I'm kinda late.)
Be safe!!!
