12 Weeks of Halloween Winners
Here’s the list of winners (all of them have been sent an email). Congrats ladies!!
Online Workshop
If you participated in the September Online Workshop … your kits shipped yesterday. We discovered that we had sent the kits to the wrong group of ladies (oops). Laura and I feel really bad … and we’re very sorry!! The positive side of that is you received an additional gift 🙂 For the ladies that received the kits in error … you are welcome to keep them.
The October Online Workshop kits also shipped yesterday.
I’m still not sure about the date for the November Online Workshop … as soon as I can set a date I’ll post it.
12 Years ago
I joined Stampin’ Up! on October 30th, 2002 and last Thursday marked my 12 year anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I was talking to my sister Kim last night and I ask her what she thought was the answer to why I’ve been a demonstrator this long … and she said “you love the product”. It’s safe to say she is right … 12 years later I still love the product. The excitement of NEW Product can send me over the edge (meaning it makes me extremely happy).
For everyone that has supported me … Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! (After typing that .. I’m wondering what does from the bottom of my heart mean? … I must Google that!)
Retreat
I’ve not had a chance to go through the pictures and resize and edit them …but I do still plan on sharing them. For those of you that wanted to buy access to the projects .. I have the Make n Takes, the Pillows Gifts / Door Prizes and the Recipe Flip Book as an Online Class. But if you’re a member of Chic n Clique you already have free access to them. I have two more classes that will be available just as soon as I can get the videos edited. Click here to see the list of Online Classes available.
I’ve not posted a write up about it … because I want to be clear that I’m only offering it because several of you ask very nicely if I would. I’m happy to offer it …and I hope you enjoy the projects.
Goals
You guys know I’m a firm believer in setting goals … in fact it’s the one thing that keeps me on track. After achieving my goal to reach one million in sales by December 31st, 2014 … I’m left without a goal and I don’t like it! I keep going back and forth … and my problem always come back to I need to be able to measure it. For example … let’s say I want to double my sales .. that’s something I can measure because I can look at the numbers. I’ve had two ideas ….
- Sell $200,000 within the Stampin’ Up! calendar year.
- Double the number of members on Chic n Clique.
So, here’s your chance to make a suggestion …. got any ideas?
12 Days of Christmas
I’ve had a few of you ask me when I’m starting the 12 Days of Christmas and what product I’m using. The answer is … I’m working on it. I’ve not felt good and I’m not sleeping and my productivity is way down. Every day I pray I’ll wake up feeling normal again … but so far no such luck. But you know … the minute I do … it’s game on!
Thanks & have a wonderful day!!

Angie I hope you feel better, I am praying for you always.
Angie you and your website are two of the things that set me up using Stampin Up products. I wish you continued success in your Stampin Up career.
I am praying you feel better soon. Looking forward to 2013. I would like to see you double your Chic n Cilque members. I love that site.
RE: Goals – what was your annual sales last year? Up it to 50% (or 25%) – which means you’ll have to up your game! BUT, make sure you take care of yourself first, because if you don’t…well, I won’t have any ideas if you can’t create. LOL 🙂
RE: Watercolor Winter – I’ve been looking at this…what are the brushes for? Maybe you can demo this kit? I’d love to see what to do and how to do it!.
PS: My son loves making the spiders with me and he is planning on selling them at my Dec. craft fair! So thank you for getting my 10 yr old into crafting with me! Feel better and you’re in my prayers!
Love all your projects!
Hope you feel better. God bless. Take care.
Angie, I hope you feel better. Thanks for sharing your fabulous ideas – LOVE THEM ALL!
Looking forward to the 12 day’s of Christmas projects….your so talented…thank you always sharing!
This watercolor set looks really neat. I’ve only used watercolors once, so it would be fun to experiment with it.
Hope you feel better soon.
I like the looks of this card making kit.
Congrats on your 12 years! It’s wonderful when you love what you do.
Thanks for all you share. Hope you will be able to do the 12 Days of Christmas, sure enjoy your projects. Take Care.

I hope you feel better. I’ll pray for you, Angie. You have so much to offer! Thank you.
First I would like to commend your hard work, like others have stated it was you youtube video’s and you website that made me want to join. As for a goal see if you can more clients to become demonstrator. I love you videos but you health comes first.
Angie you are a very special woman and you inspire so many of us. You have every right to be proud of what you are doing and your pride shows in everything you create and share. I hope you feel better real soon.
Thanks so much for the chance to win some blog candy. I did so enjoy my “Frankie” box.
I had made some for the and we did a craft afternoon where we made the Frankie and Mummy kids had so much fun making them.
I hope you feel better soon!
I hope you are feeling better soon! I feel the same way about SU! products. There is nothing better!!!
I hope you feel better soon. Have you had your iron level checked lately? Just a thought on why you aren’t feeling well or sleeping.
I vote you make your goal about sales. Sounds like a good one to me. 🙂
Take care and feel better.
I always get inspired by your website. Keep up the good work! x
Hi Angie, i hope you get to feeling better soon. 12 years is a long time for doing what you do, which is, create beautiful projects, help those that need help, you shine when you do a video your love for all things Stampin Up shows through. The blg candy looks like fun. I to would like demo of how this project comes together. Thanks for all you do
Make your goal to take care of you first and the rest will follow.
Oh Angie… Congrats on your anniversary AND for your amazing success! You’re a tremendous inspiration to all your customers and others, like me, who follow your blog! Maybe you should try for a repeat! But, whatever you decide, take time to find joy in what you’re doing. I don’t think any of us out here in “La-La-Land” will be a bit disappointed if you opt to tap the brakes and focus a bit on your well being. We all want you to feel better, sleep sound and keep stampin’ out your great projects! God Bless! And, good luck!
Congrats Judy … your name was drawn to win the kit. Please send your mailing address to admin@mychicnscratch.net and we’ll ship your package out asap.
Angie, I’m hoping that you will feel back to normal soon. I’m going to have to think about a new goal for you. I’m thinking a special recognition at Convention 2015 kind of goal in addition to being recognized for reaching a million in sales. BTW, my crafting sidekick was elected Vice President of her school’s SGA.
Thank you for all of your inspiration. It’s thanks to you that I keep enjoying my SU goodies.
congratulations on your 12th year–not only have you reached so many goals-but you are inspiration to myself and I am sure all that visit your blog. You are an artist with a big heart. Your hard work has proven that you love your customers and the products that Stampin Up has. Mostly you have proven to yourself-your family and your friends (customers) that you have determination no matter if at times things just do not go as well. I thank you for each day putting a smile on my face with all you do for everyone. You are an amazing young lady and may you continue to succeed in what ever your next goal will be. My thoughts and prayers for your health-your family and YOU.
Thanks for a chance to win. Love your blog! You always have such wonderful ideas!
I need to make more cards. I love the treat holders. Hope you feel better!
I am so appreciative of you and your Chicn Cliq group. I have learned how to make beautiful products in very little time, by using high quality, fun, and
easy to use Stampin Up products.
I really would like to try the watercolor kit! I really enjoy your videos! Feel better!
Angie, I am sorry that you are not feeling well. I hope your health improves soon. Thanks for the chance to win, it looks fabulous.
As a Demonstrator myself (since 2005) I must say you are one of my favorite people to follow! I am praying for you to wake up feeling that renewed strength and thought I’d share that vitamins and iron helped me! (Of course, I’m 59 and take all the help I can get!) I look forward to see what you come up with next!
Great card kit, hope I win.
Hi Angie, you are such an inspiration to me. I wait for your emails every day to see
whats new. I do hope you are feeling better. I hope you don’t worry about a big goal
for a little while. Take a break. Just do some smooth sailing and glide for a short
time. Thoughts and prayers, Margie
Hi Angie, Hope you get to feeling better soon! I would love to try the watercolor kit. You are such an inspiration to me, love watching your videos. You do a Fantabulous job! ( LOL…I love that word..2 in one ). Thanks for all you do Angie!
Thank you for the blog candy!
Love this card kit. Hope I win.
Love watching your videos. They give me inspiration when I hit a roadblock. Feel better soon.
I love blog candy! I won once several years ago. This looks great! I love your pieces of art. Thanks for sharing. About your goals, do you prefer to set small goals and exceed them or to set a lofty goal and continually strive to meet it? How do you feel in each case? You might set a monthly goal that is doable. May God be with you and help you improve your health.
Sorry you are not feeling well. Thank you for sharing all of your creative ideas, I love watching your videos. Congratulations on your success!
Happy 12th anniversary! You do an amazing job with selling this product. I would love to have this card kit–may have to buy it if I don’t win. God Bless!!
Thanks for always sharing with us. I would like to recommend the book Wheat Belly. I stopped eating grains and have seen my health greatly improve. Just a thought. Hope you feel better.
So sorry you are not feeling well. Am hoping that the goal for you will be a lifetime of wonderful days doing what you love and sharing it with us. It is horrible when you don’t feel like doing what you enjoy, but great things are happening for you and will continue from now on. We are so blessed to have you as our inspiration. Maybe you can double your Chic N Clique members (I am already a member). Continued success to you.
I like this card set, feel better!

Hope you feel better soon! Great kit also!

I would really love to see what this Watercolor kit is all about. Do you have one that you could demo for us? I am curious why it is called watercolor?
