My beautiful bathroom!

I decorated my bathroom before Christmas and forgot to share. I used the "Tree, Thoughts & Prayers" and "Directions of Your Dreams" from the Decor Elements brochure. I used the large tree and the medium saying.

I love how simple it is to change a whole room with just some simple Vinyl Wall Art!

We now have 2 brochures with some fabulous ideas and products perfect to decorate you home!

Winner of Stampers Profit Pal

Wow! What an exciting launch we've had to this program! Tania and I have been excited to be able to help so many demonstrators get on the right track to becoming profitable in 2010.

We loved all the comments and have read through all of them. I know many of us have set our New Year's Resolutions to become more organized and to keep a profit in our Stampin' Up! businesses. I'm so excited to be a small part of helping making this happen. I truly believe that the Stampers Profit Pal is an easy and organized way to keep track of your income and expenses!

So without further delay…here's the winner (chosen randomnly through random.org)
 

Congrats Lindsay S who has won her own copy of the Stampers Profit Pal!!! Just send us an email at info@stampersprofitpal.com and let us know your full name and where you're from!


Here's what Lindsay had to say:

Josee, this is amazing! Something that I have needed for a long time. I have only been a demonstrator for just over 2 years but I have really struggled with figuring out how much I am actually making versus how much I'm actually spending on the buisness. This is something I really need to be able to see how I can make my business more successful.

REMINDER: There are only 2 more days to register for our awesome SALE-A-BATION KICK OFF. Make sure you go register for the fun!

Time to register for the Sale-A-Bration Kick-Off Day

I'm so excited to have spent the day stamping with some great ladies yesterday at my open house. We played with all kinds of products from the Occasions Mini  & the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Everyone really LOVED the new cling stamps. If you didn't see my video yet hightlighting some of the new products, go check it out here  and you'll see how great the cling stamps are!

Here is one of the other projects we made at my Open House: (cased from Catherine Pooler)

Using the cling stamps with the clear blocks on this card made it super easy to line up the hearts together on the white cardstock.

Wow….time is sure flying. I just can't believe it's Dec. 14th already! I almost have all my shopping done and even got them all put out in my stamp room and started wrapping them. I was feeling really good about it all until….I sent my 9-year old downstairs to get our camera. Ugghhh. She say's she only saw a couple of them…not sure if I believe her?!

This weekend, we got to see the Olympic Torch…it was really neat. It came only about 2 minutes from our house. Our kids thought it was "cool"! :)
