The final "Deal of the Week" is the Heart to Heart Punch (p.187). It is regular $22.95, but until Sunday, you can get it for 30% off, which works out to be $15.99. It coordinates with the stamp set "Love You Much" (p.44).

If interested in purchasing either, please let me know! =)

I had a sneak peek of the new "Holiday Mini Catalog" and let's just say that I will be adding a lot of things from in on my Wish List. I think that my regular customers will be very pleased with what is in it. =) I will be mailing to my "Florenceville Ladies and Man" as soon as they become available. If anyone else would like a copy, just let me know. =) August is going to be a very exciting month b/c Stampin' Up has some amazing promotions. I cannot wait to let everyone know what they are. =)

I know it is a little late, but here is July's Card Kit. I was in school all month and finished classes yesterday. =) When I first saw the stamp set Always in the catalog, I did not really care for it. I eventually bought it and it sat on my shelf for months. I finally assembled it this week and started to play with it and guess what? I actually really love this set. =) It has so many possibilities. Always is shown on page 54 of the catalog.

You will receive enough to make12 cards in total, including envelopes. You will receive the 4 cards completed, as shown in the pictures above. This will give you examples to go by.

Cost of the card kit will be $15. You can send me a cheque or payment can be made through PayPal. Once payment is received, I will mail out your kit. Please leave a comment or e-mail me at JodiStilwell@yahoo.com

Here's a LO that I finished last night of a picture I took of Sami last summer. She really wanted to put her own sunscreen on. LOL

Is anyone interested in joining a marker club??? My upline Chelle has been kind enough to let me go in on this with her so my customers can benefit as well. Isn't she great?? =)

Anyone who has been to my workshops knows how much I absolutely love my SU markers. I love that there are two tips, that they coordinate with the papers & inks, and that for a much smaller investment, I get more the complete color line that Stampin' Up offers.

The markers retail for $45.95/12 ($179.95 for all 48), and when you buy the full set from SU, you get a handy carrying case for them. For $50 each month for 4 months (includes tax & shipping... or we can spread it out and have the class run over 8 months, up to the participants), you would get one set of 12 markers, and after the run of the club, you would have all the markers, and the carrying case (one person will get it each month of the club). In addition, hostess benefits will rotate from month to month, so that each person will get at least a level 1 stamp set and $20 of free SU product of their choice. And, as my thank you, each person who participates will receive a pack of the 2009-10 In Color markers at no cost to you!

To recap. For $50/month for 4 months, you get:

48 standard color markers
convenient carrying case
FREE level 1 hostess stamp set
$20 FREE SU merchandise of your choice
6 current In Color markers as my gift to you
Each club will contain 4 members, and as soon as the club is filled, I will place the order. Please leave a comment or email me at JodiStilwell@yahoo.com to join. (Canadians only - sorry!)

For a limited-time (from now until August 31), you can become a SU demo for just $105!! The Mini Starter Kit contains many of the items you need to get started in your new business, including:

For All You Do stamp set
In Color Classic Stampin' Pads (all 6 colors)
Whisper White card stock (8-1/2" x 11")
In Color assorted card stock (8-1/2" x 11")(all 6 colors)
Business forms and tools

What a GREAT way to join the Stampin' Up! family. I'd love to have you as a part of my team!!

Remember, there are tons of benefits of being a demo - being your own boss, the 20% product discount, preorder privileges, sneak peeks, incentive programs....

If you have any questions or are interested in being a part of my team, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail at JodiStilwell@yahoo.com

The Big Shot Doctor's Bag is this week's "Deal of the Week". It is sale for $72.99, which is almost 25% off! What a great buy!!! If you own the Big Shot, this is the deal just for you!

Do you like to have your card stock pre-cut for you? Do you like to have a design already planned so all you have to do is color and assemble? If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, my card kits are for you!

I will be having two card kits for sale per month. One will be a stamp set from the current catalog and one will be a christmas set. Christmas is now less then 6 months away so in order to get all the cards ready that you will need, no better time to start then now.

My monthly card kits will include all the pre-cut card stock and the envelopes to go with each card.

The July Christmas Card Kit uses the “Big on Christmas” set shown on page 40 of the current catalog. You will receive 12 cards in total, including envelopes. You will receive 3 cards that will be completed. This will give you an example to go by.

Cost of the card kit will be $15. You can send me a cheque or payment can be made through PayPal. Once payment is received, I will mail out your kit.

Our trip to PEI went quite well, considering it rained every day except two. GRRR!! I am so sick of rain. It is even raining today. At least tomorrow will be sunny. I cannot wait! We are planning a BBQ tomorrow and lots of outside time. LOL Anyway, here are some pictures from our trip:

Sami couldn't wait to go in the water at the beach, but soon realized that it is still too cold. LOL


Sami posing with the sandcastle we made.


Playing at a park in Hunter River.


Sami and her cousin, Evan. They do not look very impressed in the picture, but they had a blast playing together. It was the first time they have been together.


Sami thought this hat was hilarious and wanted her picture taken with it.


We went everywhere looking for a candy apple and were finally able to find one. Thank god!!!


All ready for the Canada Day Parade to start in North Rustico.


This is after the Canada Day parade in North Rustico. We took a walk along the waterfront.
