NEW June Class - Printed Window Sheets!

May is winding down and I'm busy preparing my June Class schedule! If you are on my customer mailing list - you'll receive that full schedule shortly. If not, send me an email and I would be happy to add you.

I use my mailing list for Stampin' Up! information only (no junk mail or chain emails or jokes etc). Nothing against these things but there's just so many exciting SU! updates to share on a regular basis that I spend my time sharing that news!!

Here's a sneak peek at one of my June classes: Printed Window Sheets Class!

Email me if you'd like full details on class!

How To Thank Your Customers!

With THANK YOU cards of course!

Recently, a friend of mine that I've met through our famous PERFECT PARTY events (Hi Deb), asked me if I would prepare an order of Thank You cards for her to use with her business. Deb owns 'Harbourtown Soaps' and she has this wonderful little store in Port Stanley that you must visit if you are in the area!!

Anyhow, Deb wanted to have a little something on hand for those clients that come into her store to pick up a handmade baskets or gift for someone else. She thought these little cards would be perfect! Shown above are the original card samples I had on display that Deb chose from (you'll recognize the Scallop Notes from the London Regionals)! And below, is Deb's order. I made 30 of these Scallop Notes and 30 of something similar to the 4x4 Fresh Cut Notes shown below - only difference was that I used a 'Thank You' saying on 1/2 and left the other 1/2 blank for customized use by Deb or her clients!

If you would like a quote on a handmade order - email me anytime (lisaburns@rogers.com). I would be happy to answer any of your questions!

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Few May Class Changes

Good Morning - Happy Wednesday!

May was a difficult month to prepare my class schedule for as I didn't quite know what my son's summer sporting schedules were going to look like! I actually had to create May's Class schedule with a whole lotta' assumptions around when I might have some stamping time vs running Evan around between Baseball & Soccer. Happy to say that I now have those schedules and I only need to change 2 class dates for May! YEY! Here's one of those changes and the class details again. I'll post the other change tomorrow with pictures of the projects we'll be making!

REMEMBER - all May class participants will get a ballot toward the May Product Prize I'm raffling off (along with those that order, club members, Hostess etc). The excitement is growing!

May Promo' Class - moved to Tuesday May 26th!
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Preorder one of the May Scrapbooking specials and you get access to this class! Your order will be waiting for you, in time for this class, so that you can come by and stamp the night away - using all of my stamp sets and ink! I will also have some accessories, embellishments and ribbon out for use during the night. Full class details will be provided to those that RSVP.

Cost: Regular cost for one of the May Promo's + $5 RSVP by Wednesday May 13, 2009 in order to have preordered products arrive in time for this class date. If this event does not fill up by the RSVP date, I can look to open up spots to those that wish to order the May Promo at the class rather than as a preorder!

This is a night where you can come and make whatever you'd like using the tools I have on hand! You can make cards, scrapbook pages, 3D projects...you name the project for the night!

Belated HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...

to all of the MOM's out there! We had a wonderful weekend of activities, friends & of course, a family celebration! I really enjoy spending Mother's Day with my Mom & Sister and our families together as one big reason to eat great food and enjoy our time together! Fortunately for the guys - there was some great hockey on yesterday so they didn't mind the gathering either (lol)!! I'm sure a few of you out there can relate!

Today's post is long over-due! I've wanted to show my Big Shot projects for a while but it's been tough getting computer time lately (hence the 6 days between posts)! I'll continue to try to find balance with my Blog Posts but the honest truth is that it might not get much better as summer sports wind up and we're outside, enjoying the nice weather ...more & more each day! It won't be long now before we're spending our weekends camping! Yey!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
