500 Club

Each year, I have a special celebration for my hostesses who have reached $500 workshops over the past year!  We have snacks, door prizes, sneak peek make n takes and special offers just for them!  I am so grateful to all of you who support me.  I never in a million, would’ve thought I’d be MAKING money doing what I love AND traveling the world on some amazing trips!   I am so blessed!

Here is what we created:

I didn’t think I would really love this hot air balloon set….and guess what happened?  I bought it and I loved it.

 

This is such a fun card….I love popups and the die makes it super easy!

 

 

Congratulations to all my hostesses who earned this class!  It was so fun hanging out with you all and giving a sneaky peeky to upcoming products!  You should all be receiving your occasions and saleabration catalogs in the mail or hand delivered by me.  If you do NOT have one, please let me know!

Happy Holidays!

 

 

500 Club 2015

I had some very special guests over to my studio just before the holidays.  These ladies received special invitations as part of my 500 club.  This club is for all my hostesses who have held parties over $500 in sales during 2015.  They were each allowed to bring a guest and join me for dessert…yes, I even MADE them dessert, make n takes using NEW products, I made them each an ornament for their tree, we had doorprizes for everyone.  Stampin’ Santa had dropped off special gifts for my 500 club as well!  Trust me, this is a very fun evening….and you can get in on it for 2016!  Contact me to book your own personal party today!

Here is what we made:

Each year, I host a 500 Club for my wonderful hostesses who have a $500 party (or more!) and this year…it was only three:  Thanh, Pam and Jill!  Thank you ladies, you rock!  So, I decided I’d make it a $400 plus party and they could each bring a guest!  We had lots of fun!  Thank you Barb, Patty, Becky and Karen and their guests as well!

First- everyone gets a special favor:

500 Club

I mentioned a bit ago about my 500 club.  This is a special night of free stamping (you don’t get that often, huh?) for my hostesses who knocked out a $500 workshop (or 2) this year. 

It’s by invitation only and I try to spoil them a little….door prizes, 3 make n takes, dessert etc. 
 
I wanted to take a minute to recognize them a little bit…..because without my hostessess, well, I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today.
 
Congratulations to Muriel T! She won an entire set of brand new, firm foam pads!  She was the hostess with the mostess and had a $ 796.25 workshop….and she had another one a few days ago for $ 540.95! 
 
The rest of the 500 club is:
Sheba:  $606
Elaine: $584.45
Brenda G:  $508.20
Judy B:  $528.85
Carol S:  $505.15
Mandy S:  $515.23

I appreciate all my hostesses and hold 2 appreciation events through the year, but I try to do a little extra for 500 club.  Not everyone can make it, so here are the neato burrito things we did:

This set uses Button, Button and is in the Occasions mini coming out in January.  Colors are Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Soft Suede.  Thanks Color Coach…wouldn’t have thought about using those 3 together!  We used the scallop trim corner punch and the Birthday Bliss set.  Added a little brown button and there ya go.

Eat Chocolate?  No need to tell me twice!  This set is coming up in the Occasions mini as well.  I know you can’t see it that well, but it says ” All you need in life is a friend who has chocolate…..I’m that friend.”    We used Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White cardstock. 
The designer paper is Crumb Cake from the asst pack.  If you haven’t seen that pack yet…..GORGEOUS!!!   The sentiment is punched out using the XL designer label punch- and yeah!  It’s moving to the new mini, so we get to keep it for awhile!  Punch out 2 in chocolate chip and layer them behind the white.  Looks like a mat.   I used cherry cobbler seam binding….next to Deck the Halls paper, my favorite thing from the holiday mini.

I added a “fork bow” and …..super cute card.  If you attended my Camp Eder Retreat, you were privy to Debi C teaching us how to tie a bow with a fork.  If you weren’t there…ask me sometime and I’ll show you. Awesome!!

Now,  Taryn and I made a video for the next project.  It also happens to be a 12 weeks of Christmas project.
