Black Friday...

...hanging out in Wells. It has been raining pretty hard all day here today but yesterday...

...was a great day to walk the beach. It was probably at least 50 degrees! Duffy and Jericho saw the ocean for the very first time. They have been such great travelers. We took frequent breaks for them on the way because the longest trip they've ever done was about 30-45 minutes. We are staying at The Sea Mist Resort Motel on Route 1 where we've stayed many times in the past and now they have a couple of pet-friendly rooms. It is located between Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. Check it out if you're looking for a place to stay in southern Maine.

Rachael and I along with Joanna and Brad went shopping for midnight last night in Kittery to the outlets. We had a lot of fun, caught some deals, and Rachael and I got back after 3:30 this morning. Whew! That's a lot of shopping time.

For tomorrow, we plan to go to Kennebunkport Beach and show Joanna and Brad some of the sites in that area and will eat at Billy's Chowder House.

Getting away...

...oh yeah! If you click on the large print in the post below and take advantage of the awesome Online Holiday Extravaganza this week while I am away, your name will be placed in a drawing for stamp sets that I will be giving away!

For the remainder of November and the month of December, I am not doing any workshops BUT, I am taking bookings for January and February for when Sell-A-Bration is going on. Please keep in mind that in addition to our big catalog, there are two great mini catalogs that will be available and I WILL tell you at this time that there is new and VERY exciting product featured in the minis! You will not want to miss out on being a hostess and therefore miss out on FREE, yes FREE, product! In addition, for anyone booking this week a workshop for the month of January or February with me, I will give you a reusable shopping bag that was only available to purchase at Convention for demonstrators in Salt Lake City this year! A few dates are taken already so contact me as soon as you can!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I'm thankful for each and every one of you, for your friendship as well as your business.

Blessings to you and thank you for stopping by,

Rene'

Club night this past week...

...made these!!!

They are mini photo albums using 5 x7 pieces of cardstock for the covers. We used Rich Razzleberry for our covers and Soft Suede for the binding. The center, using the Top Note die with the Big Shot is in Bermuda Bay. The stamp sets used are Serene Snowflakes and Delightful Decorations. Both sets can be found in the Holiday Mini catalog.

Two punches were also used. The Ornament punch was used after stamping the image for the ornament and this is found in the mini also. The other punch is the Jumbo Snowflake punch which is found in the big catalog. You can click on the colored links throughout this post or on the catalogs in the left column. For ease of shopping, you can go to my Stampin' Up! website and shop 24/7! It's that easy.

Don'f forget the holidays are coming upon us quickly. Don't forget your teachers, friends and relatives who stamp, scrapbook or who are hard to shop for. You can purchase gift certificates from me OR ask me for a wish list! They can fill it out. I will even gift wrap for you! Shop early!

Thanks for stopping by,

If you didn't attend the...

...Christmas card stamp camp, here are some of the cards you missed making. :(

Each card was different and our translucent envelopes were provided that are mailable! I would say a good time was had by all. My favorite cards were the top card using Tree Trimmings and the bottom center card which was using the Big Shot! This card also uses the new ornament punch from the Holiday mini.

Are you working on your holiday cards yet? Are you short of ideas or have a wish list? Earn your stamps for free! Hurry and book your workshop now! There is an extra special going on now for hostesses and I'll even add an extra special something in. :) Contact me now!

Also for those of you who do not already know, husbands contact me before the holidays and order! I will gift wrap for them also!

This is going to be a busy week for me! I have a workshop for Jean, Club and the tabletop scrapbook stamp camp on Saturday! Perhaps I'll see YOU at one of these events! If not, lets make a date! Let's get those holiday cards started. :)

Thanks for stopping by,
