Still stuff to Sale

Well, I still have lots of stamping/scrapping stuff to sale.  As of right now, it is all out on my tables.  If you want to come see, please give me a call.  All of this has to go to new homes.  I am going to start putting it on the internet, but I'd much rather have it go to a home here in the area rather than having to put it in the mail.  There are lots of stamp sets, paper - single sheets and brand-new unopened packets, some ribbons, lots of eyelets, chipboard, and even some stamp pads and glitters, and sizzix dies.  I have a table with free things, and still a few catalogs from last year that are free. 

In other news, it is time to start looking towards the fall/winter holidays.  If you are interested in hosting a party so you and your friends can pick up your supplies for the holiday cards and items you are making, call me to set a date. 

I still host a card exchange each month.  There is a great core group that participates, but it would be awesome for more to join us.  There is a theme each month, and it is posted on my Stampin' Up! website ( www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/janahernstamps/ ) We each do cards in sets of 5 (they are all alike with envelopes).  You can do 1 set, up to 4 sets.  You get back as many as you do.  They are due the 20th of each month.  Within a few days I will have them sorted and ready for you to pick up. 

I am very busy these days with my sweet granddaughter.  She is the cutest baby on earth (of course) and we just have a blast with her.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  Time flies when you're having fun!!  I dread the day her mom leaves to attend college and takes her away. 

Well I hope you are having a wonderful summer and getting lots of memories made.  Hope to see you soon at my garage sale, or at a workshop.

Annual Open House & Garage Sale

Can't belive it is time for the annual open house and garage sale.  Of course, since Stampin' Up! moved their catalog year up a month, it came around faster than planned.  So this Friday and Saturday, I will be open for your browsing pleasure.  There will be stamps, paper, ribbon, and other fun stuff for sale, as well as a chance to browse the new catalog and order if you want.  You can join a stamp club, or book a party.  Don't miss out.  On Friday I will be open from 7-10, and on Saturday from 10-3.  Come grab a bargain. Hope to see everyone there.

Catching Up

Well, I am so sorry I have gone missing for several months.  Life has been totally out of control and I have barely been able to keep up, but I think I'm almost to slow down and get some control back.  I hope!! 

Anyway, there are a couple of specials from Stampin' Up! going now.  #1 is for those wishing to join SU as a demonstrator.  If you sign up before Nov 11, you will receive a free Big Shot (die cutting machine) or $100 worth of free stamps on top of the usual demonstrator kit.  This is a super deal and I would love to have you in my downline.  Call me with any questions or to find out how to sign up.    #2 is for Free My Digital Studio downloads until Monday.  There are some really cute ones and you can click on the link on my blog to check them out.  If you don't have My Digital Studio, you can still download these for use in other programs.  #3 is a special for anyone hostessing a workshop between November 1 and Dec 15.  Check out the rewards by clicking on the link in the sidebar. 

I have been crocheting like crazy lately.  So far I have finished a baby afghan, 4 doilies with another one only a few rounds away from being finished.  I have lots of things to get done before Christmas.  It will arrive sooner than I will probably wish for, but that's always how it is. 

Hope you are all ready for the snow and for the holidays to be upon us.  I hope you can all enjoy this time of year and remember all the blessings we have living in this country of America.  As I have a son in the Air Force, I am much more aware of how precious our freedom is and the price that has been and will continue to be paid for that freedom.  As part of this, I am continuing to collect cards to be sent to a group of ladies that send them to servicemen and women all around the world.  If you would like to donate cards and envelopes, money or supplies, please contact me and I will get it sent off.  Thanks for your help.
Have a great season.  Janell

July Almost Gone

Wow, I just can't believe it is almost the end of July.  Where does the time go? 
We spent the 4th of July in St George visiting my in-laws.  They are getting older and experiencing many health issues - NOT FUN!!  I don't really look forward to that part of getting older. 
It seems like summer is just flying by.  In only a month school will start again.  Unbelieveable. 

This week I am having my annual "garage sale and open house."  I have lots of retired Stampin' Up! stuff to sell and to give away.  After this it will hit the Ebay posts because I really need the room!! 

Bella (our dog) had 8 puppies again 2 weeks ago.  They are opening thier eyes now, and starting to try and walk instead of crawl.  Unfortunately, 2 of them and our small male dog died this week.  No apparent reason.  We saw no symptoms of Parvo, so we think they somehow got into something that was posion to thier systems.  It was a very sad day!!  Bella and the other 6 puppies are doing well. 

Sean is still in Texas at school for AF and Heatherly is headed down soon.  In late September or early October, they will be moving to NE for their first duty station. 

The other kids are going along in school and work as usual.  Melanie will be doing photography at CSI for now and is looking forward to that. 

Not much else is happening.  Our retreat for 4 Girls and a Dream is coming up in October and I am in charge of the food this time.  I'm excited about that because I sometimes miss cooking.  I'll share some of the menu as I get it figured out. 

I made some totally awesome cards for my stamp club this time, but I don't have pics yet, so I can't post.  I have 3 clubs this year and am excited about that.  Each group is fun and will be a blast to meet with. 

Have a great day - or month if I don't get back any sooner.
