Today's the day! - Tina Zinck, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

It’s finally arrived! My Annual Hostess Appreciation Dinner is TODAY! I am soooo looking forward to this! This is my 9th dinner and this dinner is going to be the BEST one ever! I’ve got 25 fabulous women attending – all of whom either held a workshop or belonged to one of my clubs this past year – or both! It’s because of them that I’ve been able to work my business full time and now it’s my turn to SPOIL them!

The cupcake toppers are made with the new Pennant Parade stamp set and punch. I didn’t think I’d like this set too much, but boy was I ever wrong! I am SMITTEN with it!!!! This set will be available July 1st.

I’ve been busy cooking up a fabulous home-cooked meal, baked my much requested chocolate cupcakes, crafted up some fun favors and gifts, wrapped door prizes, made some fun decorations, prepared two great make and take projects (using NEW Sneak Peak stamp sets, punches and Designer Series Paper) and MORE! It’s been a lot of work but it’s going to definitely be worth it. I’ll also be unveiling the NEW 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue and the ladies are going to go CRAZY for it – it’s absolutely INCREDIBLE! Stampin’ Up! outdid themselves yet again! I’ll post photos of this special event tomorrow.

There are only a few days left to purchase items from the Last Chance list. A really big seller this past winter was the CANDY CANE CHRISTMAS Decor Elements – and it’s available again! But only while supplies last and only until June 30th.

These cute Decor Elements make awesome gifts – so get yours before they’re gone forever! They’re available in Real Red and Old Olive.

I purchased mugs and platters from the $1 store, applied my Decor Elements, added some homemade goodies, wrapped in cellophane and Voila! I lovely gift! What could be easier? (Or more thoughtful?)
