Surgery updates

Hey there,

I decided instead of posting all my surgery stuff here on my Stampin Up business blog I would just go back to my personal blog.  For the most part …my personal blog is a whole bunch of me rambling …I love it because I like to write.  But it's unfiltered and a place where I can write without worrying about what I say.  The only thing I ask is that you refrain from making any negative comments.

Click here to head over to my Angie Everyday blog.  (Don't waste your time reading all the old posts …I promise it's just me rambling on forever….we southern girls love to talk!!!)

Thanks & see ya soon!!

Change in plans

Hey there,

Just a quick note … I'm sorry I had plans to offer some blog candy and a few other things but the last few days have been STRESSFUL.  I won't go into all the details .. it's just too much ….. but I wanted to say I'm sorry!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday and I have a million things to do to get ready. 

You will see activity on my blog ….but I will not be working. 

PLEASE be patient while I take the time to rest and recover.  If you have an order issue … Stampin' Up! can help you …..their number is 1-800-stampup.  (I normally do these things for you all but I don't want you to wait ….as soon as I'm better I'm more than happy to handle them.)

Either over the weekend or on Monday I'll post where I'm going to keep you guys updated.  (I'm already itching to share this week but it's just way too much information for this site.)

I'll miss you …. have a great weekend ….. and appreciate all your prayers!!!

Two Tags Treat Holder
The Two Tags Treat Holder is the 2nd project for my 12 Weeks of Halloween.

I used the Grateful Greetings stamp set with the spider from the Dark & Dreary stamp set (I’m thrilled that set carried over from last years Holiday Mini Catalog).

This is a super easy Halloween project to make and you can whip out a whole punch really fast!!!

Here’s how I made it ……using the Big Shot I cut out two Cajun Craze tags with the Two Tags Die.  Added some Frightful Sight Designer Paper and closed it with some Black Taffeta Ribbon.

August Stamp Club

August 2011 Club projects

My post today is about my August Stamp Club projects.

I’ve decided to try something new ….I get a lot of emails asking me what kind of projects I post on My Chic n Scratch Classroom …also known as my Virtual Stamp Club and I always say the projects are similar to what I post on my blog.  After five years of blogging …..  many of you know my style.  I sometimes call it lazy stamping but they’re usually projects that you can make on a busy schedule.

So, I decided to make some changes ….  I’m going to post a picture of the projects and if you’d like access to the Video Tutorial and the pdf instructions you can pay the low fee of just $4.99.

I’m doing away with the requirement that you have to join for six months …but don’t forget….if you pay for six months you get the 7th month free.

If you’d like access to the August Stamp Club Video Tutorials & Instructions click on the button below to pay.

Stamp Club is just an addition to my business and doesn’t affect my everyday blogging or my Free videos … they will continue as usual. 

Thanks & have a great day!!

p.s. Tune in tomorrow for my 12 Weeks of Halloween week 2 and Thursday for my Blogging anniversary blog candy.

Just a quick update on what I'm working on …..

I have local Stamp Club Tuesday (1pm & 7pm) and if you're a Virtual Stamp Club member please place your order by Monday or pay your fee. The projects will be posted after I've confirmed the payments/orders.

If your payment is late or if you place your order after the 15th  …. access may be delayed until after my surgery … my working hours are a third of my normal days. (I'm so tired I can hardly do anything… I've heard from so many of you that this is normal…. I can't wait to feel like myself again!!!)

Thanks & have a great weekend!!
