Making a difference during Covid 19 SENTIMENTS

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you a heads up that SU has created some really cool sentiments to add to your cards that you are sending out during this time. 

I have purchased my set and I can tell you that there is something for everyone in this PDF. 

The following was on the order page.  I cannot share the PDF.....as this is a way for us to make a difference by each of us purchasing these sentiments and all of the proceeds go to making a difference.

This digital stamp set is packed with both lighthearted and thoughtful sentiments and imagery relevant to the unique COVID-19 and social distancing situation we are currently in. You can use the download in your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. Simply print the imagery on cardstock and cut it out using Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Trimmer, punches, or dies. Since we are physically distanced from each other, now is a perfect time to share sunshine with our friends and family by sending cards!

As part of Stampin’ Up!’s Making a Difference program, 100% of the Share Sunshine PDF Download proceeds will go to COVID-19 efforts through these organizations:

• The World Health Organization’s COVID-Solidarity Response Fund
• United Way Worldwide’s COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund

Help us make a difference today!

Here is the link where you can purchase your own set.  There are 15 pages and the cost is just $12.  You will then be able to print off the images, over and over, once you have saved them to your computer, to make even more cards.

Here is the link to go to purchase them https://covid19.stampinup.com/products/giving-back-us-ca

I don't receive any commission from the sales of these sentiments.....and SU donates all the profits to two different organizations.  It's our way of just doing what we can.

ENJOY!!!!  And, when you do purchase the sets....be sure to tell others.

Thanks!!!

In the Saddle again!!!! Thank YOU!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well, just to catch you up on what's been going on in our lives,in a nutshell,....basically we ended our RV travels 'officially' on January 31st.

A lot went into this decision and I won't share all the details but it was extremely hard for me to keep up with my Stampin' UP! business and even to keep up my quarterly minimums while we were travelling and working.

BUT, without some of you even knowing what a struggle it was, just as a quarter came to a close one or two of you would send in an order and I'd be good for another quarter.

At first, I didn't think much of it.....but when this went on for 3 years, almost, I KNEW I had to do something..  You never knew how close I was to having to give it all up but somehow, just about the time I thought I would have to give it up......here came an order from one of you.  YOU KNOWWHO YOU ARE!!!  :-) And, I wanted to just say THANK YOU so much for your support!!!
You are the ones that kept me going when I just couldn't order myself because of one thing or another.

We had some health issues for awhile, then our precious Annie became ill and we just had to stay focused on keeping her well. Then, my husband had a health scare and finally, I did.....and so, we finally made the decision to just sit for awhile and decide what to do.

That is when we were given an opportunity to rent a house here in WA state.  The day was Dec. 7th.   We jumped on the chance and were so excited.  Not an hour later,  our Annie had to be rushed to the Vet....and she had to  'leave us'.  My heart was broken and still is.

Some of you that know me, personally, and know that my Annie was the inspiration for my blog name and that I was super close to her.

BUT, the good news out of all of this is that.....because you, the customers that kept ordering from me, I was able to stay active and I will NOT forget that.

So, I am back in the 'saddle' again.  Who knows where this journey will lead.  If it leads nowhere, that is ok!!!  But, it's just so wonderful to be in a house and able to create once again.

And, as soon as I have my craft room set up (remember, I sold everything or gave it away) I can stamp again (which should be next week).

I'll be sharing photos of the progress I have made in that room.  It's nothing like the room I had, but after having NO ROOM.....I'm so excited.

AND, I'll be starting up my Card Buffet once again.  More on that later.

Just wanted to say thank you!!!  And, to let you know you can expect posts more often, now.

BIG HUGS!!!!!
