THANK YOU SO MUCH!

A super-big heartfelt thank you to all of you! With all of your support, encouragement and purchases of both classes (live and to go) as well as those quality SU! products I love so much, I have earned the 2019 incentive trip~~a week-long cruise for two to the Greek Isles. I had so much fun in Alaska last month, that I can hardly imagine it getting any better than that, but I know Stampin' Up! will find a way to better their best, because that's what they do. They make me feel special and so appreciated, the same way everyone here does. I am very blessed and am grateful every day for all of you!

PLEASE DON'T FORGET THIS!!

SEPTEMBER will be here before you know it.  RSVP now for Friday Fun Folds to secure your spot for good times!  Lots of relaxation and fun is coming your way in the Rubber Room on September 7th, so don't miss it!

How about a special "Treat" when you order from the Tea Room Suite? Last week's featured product was the Tea Room Suite, and throughout last week, I  shared lots of projects, ideas and tips for all the wonderful products in that suite, and I am sure many of you have fallen in love with it, just as I have.

Here's a special just for you:
Place an order for $40 worth of products in this Suite, before September 1, 2018, and I will give you tutorials for all of the projects I shared last week absolutely FREE.

THE REST OF THE STORY!

I think you're going to like this post!  I am often challenged by the whole computer, social media thing, but I keep on trying in the hope that eventually I will be able to find some common ground where technology and I can just get along.  So....  I am taking some social media training and forcing myself to put it into practice.  

Here's what happens:

Last Sunday after my retreat, I get my training notes out and plan a whole week's worth of posting to my FaceBook Business Page, my FaceBook Group Page AND my blog.  Then I "batch" my work (meaning I actually make posts for the entire week and "schedule" them to be posted). This way,  every day I will have a post that will appear at the "scheduled" time on the "scheduled" date; and I won't have to schedule time each day for posting. LOVE the "batching" idea; right!!

All week long my scheduled posts have been showing up on FaceBook on both my business page AND my group page. AWESOME!!  I am feeling like a rock star!

Today, I stop in here, on my blog, and no posts!  What the Heck? I had them scheduled for the entire week, and there is nothing here. Obviously, I am heading off to Google now to see how I remedy this situation.

Sorry you didn't hear from me all week, but there is a week full of posts below to catch you up!!

I LOVE THE TEA ROOM SPECIALTY DSP!

At the Retreat on Sunday, we made two each of these three cards and this adorable little box to put them in. What a nice way to keep track of your 3x3 note cards. These cards and box use the Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper. Don't you love these colors?

LOVE THE MEMORIES AND MORE CARD PACKS!

                                               

We made all six of these gorgeous cards at the Beat the Heat Retreat this past weekend. We used the Tea Room Memories & More Card Pack, with the coordinating Tea room Copper Vinyl Stickers, Tea Room Ribbon Combo Pack and the Metallic Pearls. I love the Memories and More Card Pack for quick and easy cards that are amazing!
