Stamping with Gail

Holiday Classes!

I am very excited to share my fall class schedule with you!  In addition to my regular stamp clubs and technique, punch art, and scrapbooking classes, I have added one holiday-specific class each month!  Each class is offered 3 times: Friday at 11:00 for those that are home during the week, Friday evening at 6:00 for those looking for a girl's night out, and Saturday at 11:00 for folks that like to party on the weekend.  Pick the day and time that works best for you.

You can see all the class descriptions, dates, and prices on my Calendar Page (click "Calendar" button above or HERE) as well as on my Stampin' Up! Calendar Page.  If you do use the Stampin' Up! calendar, be sure to come back here and use the handy PayPal links on my Calendar page to sign up.  The holiday classes are kit-based meaning I need to time order the supplies so you will need to sign up at least 10 days in advance.  All classes will also be available by mail, too, so if you can't attend, you can still make the projects at your home.  

This year, I am also offering access to class videos (me doing the projects) for everyone that signs up!  I'll post more on that later.

Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you at one more more classes!!

Convention 2013 - An Amazing Trip!

I am sorry, dear readers, that I was not able to post here while at Convention.  First, I loved the hotel that I stayed at, but the wi-fi was quite unreliable.  In addition, Stampin' Up! had us so busy from early morning to late night that I just didn't have the time!

I will be posting alot over the next days and weeks to share so many things with you, but first, please celebrate with me, my biggest Stampin' Up! award ever: Founder's Circle Member!  Every year, the top 100 demonstrators in the United States are entered into the Founder's Circle and this year, for the first time, I made it!!!  I was stunned when I saw my name displayed and actually cried.  We each received a beautiful leather purse and are invited to the Founder's Circle retreat in beautful St. George Utah in September.
