Wacky Wednesday 3-4-09

hawaii-packageI like Wacky Wednesday because it gives me a chance to share some other fun stuff.  I received this in the mail and I was so excited to get it.  I love that Stampin’ Up! sends our travel documents in such a fun packaging.  I’m so excited to leave for Hawaii next week.  My kids are so sad that they are not going with us. 

hawaii-package-insideIsn’t this bag so cute.  I love the luggage tags.  I can’t wait to see what other fun surprises they have in store for us when we get there.  The hotel we are staying in is so nice.  If you want to see how Stampin’ Up! spoils us you can check out the hotel at www.HiltonWaikoloaVillage.com.  This place is 62 acres and has canal boats and swiss made trams to get around it.  How cool is that.  There is even a Dolphin Learning Center where you can swim with the dolphins (I wish that was paid for).  I will definitely be sharing pictures and more fun info when I get back.

incentive09_hawaii_190wI want to send out a big “THANK YOU” to all my wonderful hostess, customers and down-line that helped me to achieve this fabulous vacation.  I would love for you to join me in the future for other wonderful opportunities like this.  Please check out my JOIN ME section to learn more.   I would love to have you on my team.

Aloha!

Fun Little Game

I love checking my friend Deborah’s blog and she posted this great idea. Since I REALLY want something from her (even though I’m a little nervous about her limitations posted below), I’m offering the same challenge to you. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (But, I really hope you will)
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It’ll be done this year.
4- You have no clue what it’s going to be.
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog (or facebook, etc.) and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Good luck!

Stampin’ Sunday 2-15-09

Today I decided to share the projects that we did at club this month.  They were all centered around the wonderful Sale-A-Brations Sets.  We also used the technique that I showed on Technique Tuesday February 3rd.  You can check out all the details there.

The Scrapbookers got to make this cute 12 x 12 double page layout.  I got the idea form page 4 of the sale-a-bration catalog.  I love that the paper, Polka Dot Punches stamp set and the ribbon all work together.

Wacky Wednesday 1-28-09

Thanks so much to all of you who made it to my open house.  I had a great time and I hope you did too.  For those of you who couldn’t make it here is some of the fun you missed.  Maybe next time you will be able to join in the fun.

good-friend-2468-box

Because it was and open house and there was no official hostess to give a gift to and my prize drawing was for the hostess benefits I decided to give each guest a special gift for coming.  Each guest received one of these fun Good friend boxes and each was filled with a different surprise gift.  Once again I used the new Good Friends Stamp Set #113740 $28.95 and the fun new Petal Pizzazz #113417 $32.95.

just-bee-card-envelopeThen each guest had the opportunity to create 2 fun make and takes.  The first used the set Just Buzzin’ By #113228 $27.95.  This is one of my favorite new stamp sets.  We made a card and a matching envelope.  It’s hard to see but the card says “just buzzin’ by to say…”  Then on the inside it says “have a honey of a day!  We also stamped a cute flower on the inside.

valentines-treat-bagThe second project used the wonderful big shot top not die #113463 $21.95 and some of the products from the Love you Much Bundle #115405 $41.48.  We used the heart to Heart Punch #113694 $15.95 and the Love You Much Stamp Set #113756 $25.95.  The Bundle also includes the Candy Lane DSP#113980 $9.95 which I love so much that I didn’t have enough left to use.  If you bought these products separately they would be $51.85 but you can save 20% on the bundle for just $41.48 through the end of Januray.  Hurry fast time is running out.

My guest also had the chance to check out my retired sets for sale, earn chances to win the hostess benifits, visit with old and new friends and have a little bit of chocolate.  We had a great time.  I still have lots of sets for sale you can check them out by clicking here.  Be sure to check out the great specials I have going along with them.

Hostess Drawing

nf-grand-prizeSo I was cleaning up the other day getting ready for my open house.  I realized I still had the grand prize from Novemberfest that was never claimed.  So here’s your chance to get the basket with over $100.00 worth of product.  It’s really simple all you have to do is host a party.  I will be giving out tickets to all the hostess and I will draw one winner.  Because I have different dates I want to book here is the different tickets you can earn:

Book and in-home party in:

February (during sale-a-brations & bootcamp): 15 tickets
March (during sale-a-brations): 10 tickets
April (new mini catalog): 12 tickets

Book a class party:

February: 10 tickets
March: 7 tickets
April: 7 tickets

Book a Catalog Party:

February: 7 tickets
March : 10 tickets
April: 7 tickets

nf-gift-aGuest Bonus:  I still have two of the smaller prizes.  So for each guest that places an order (this can be you as well, when you place a personal order besides the hostess benefits)  I will put their name in for a drawing for the 2 other gifts.  They will get one ticket for ordering and one ticket for every $25.00 they spend.  During sale-a-brations they could get 2 tickets for placing a $50.00 order plus a free sale-a-bration set.

nf-gift-cTickets are worth different values because of Sale-a-brations and when I will be gone to Hawaii (earned all expenses paid through Stampin’ Up!.  If you’d like to learn how to earn your own trip contact me today.)  I’m also extending it to April so I’m ready to go when I get back.  This offer is good for any of my parties and their guest.   You can check out my available party dates by clicking here.  Or you can email me at: andersoncandice@hotmail.com.   I look forward to hearing from you.
