It's beginning to look a LOT like...

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's RIGHT! There's a tree up on the sun porch!!!!! :D Because of how soon our open house is this year (Dec. 2; I hope it's already on your calendar!!), we start early. The main common room - my studio - won't be decorated until after Thanksgiving, but the rest of the downstairs will be done by then. Mom does a room a week! :D I'm LOVING sitting at my desk,, seeing the beautiful trees out in the yard and the decorations inside! :D

So, I had to take this Christmas card's photo on the tree. I mean, it's THERE. :D

This is a card I did with a scrap from today's 12 Weeks of Christmas project. I'd REALLY love to know if you liked that video or not!

Anyway. Here's the recipe! :)

Card stock: Real Red, Gumball Green, Whisper White

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green, Versamark

Stamp sets: Greetings of the Season, Scentsational Season

Accessories: Fancy Favor Bigz Die, Big Shot, silver embossing powder, heat tool, basic rhinestone, SNAIL

See?? Think outside the box when you're creating - and think about challenging yourself to using only a card base plus already-punched, scrap pieces to create a beautiful card! :D (Ink, too - just no new pieces of CS cut! :D )

OK, I'm outta here. SO much to do, I'm goin' crazy! :D Have a WONDERFUL weekend, and be sure to take the time to STAMP something! Christmas is on its way! :D

WEEK ELEVEN of the 12 Weeks of Christmas!

Gracious! Seven days from today is Christmas!!!

Be sure and open your email today to see what's in the box! This was a LOT of fun to design; I hope you enjoy it. :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Have a wonderful weekend, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!!!!

HA! I skipped the Eighth Week - so this is the NINTH Week of Christmas!

Boy, oh boy. I psyched myself out on that one.... :D So here is the project that the Ninth Week of Christmas email is going to tell you all about!

Isn't it about the cutest thing?? :D Would it ever make a GREAT party favor!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend - and if you're in the area, Sunday from 3-5 is our Open House! Just come and ENJOY!!!! I hope I'll get to see you then! :)

Now, go STAMP SOMETHING!!!!! 'Tis the season to be jolly - Christ came so you could have LIFE, and have it more ABUNDANTLY!!!

Happy Ninth Week of Christmas!

Is time FLYING, or is it just me?!?!? With Thanksgiving this late again, it's only four short weeks until Christmas Day! I hope the emails are helping you get some great ideas!

This one is actually my mom's suggestion - and it turned out so awesome! LOL!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! I'm SO grateful for YOU!!! :)

Time to start baking for next Sunday's Christmas Open House! But I'll be taking the time to stamp something - I hope you will, too! :)

Week SEVEN of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas!

I think. Or is it the eighth? LOL!

ANYWAY. This week's item uses MY DIGITAL STUDIO, but it's EASILY convertible to using stamps and ink - and I change my themes on the clock in the studio often! :D

It was a LOT of fun to do this project, and it's really cool in real life.

Enjoy the email! :) If you have questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Enjoy your weekend! Christmas is coming FAST - I hope you're looking forward to Thanksgiving with your family! :) But don't forget to take the time to STAMP something, too...!

Week 7 of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas!

Good Friday Morning! Have you been watching my countdown Christmas tree in the right-hand margin of this page?!?! It's only 42 days until Christmas!

This week, I had a lot of fun with designing this card to share with you. :) I hope you enjoy the email, telling all about it!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! I hope you take some time to plan - Christmas WILL be here, faster than you think! :D Ho, ho, ho!!!

And, of course, take the time to STAMP SOMETHING! :D See you Monday!

Week SIX of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas!

Wow, it's REALLY going fast, folks! We are halfway through the Twelve Weeks! I hope you're getting excited and inspired to do your Christmas crafting!! :)

Here is today's idea for you: they're ceramic magnets.

If you're NOT a demonstrator, and you'd like to receive the instructions on how to make these, please email me at poohisstampin@aol.com! :)

I'm off - it's a BUSY weekend around here, with a Quick Card Class Saturday morning, a party Sunday afternoon, and HOME & HEARTH class Monday night. Phew! :D

Have a WONDERFUL weekend - and be sure to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!

Week FIVE of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas!

Where HAS the time gone?!?!? Do you realize we only have 57 days left until Christmas?!?!? Time is FLYING, everyone - don't be caught in the cold! :D Start getting things done NOW, so you can ENJOY Christmas!

But enough about that. For today's 12 Weeks email, I took it easy - after last week, can you blame me?? :D It's a scrapbook page; although I did it with MY DIGITAL STUDIO, if you have the CHRISTMAS JINGLE Simply Scrappin' Kit, you could EASILY make a very similar page!


OK, I'm OFF! Have a WONDERFUL weekend, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING - and have one less thing to think about for Christmas prep! :D

It's only 63 days until Christmas!

That's right! Not long now! Have I got you panicked yet? :D

Here's this week's TWELVE WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS item; please email me to be put on my list IF YOU ARE NOT A DEMONSTRATOR! :)

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Be sure to come back next week - I have LOTS to share with you, plus you'll get to hear about the Hostess Appreciation Luncheon! I can already smell it cooking. YUM! :D

Be blessed - and be SURE to make the time to STAMP SOMETHING!!! :)

Only TEN WEEKS until Christmas!!!

Can you BELIEVE it?!?!? It's going SO fast! That's only SEVENTY days, ladies and gents!!!! Better start gearing up now! :D

This is today's email project for the Twelve Weeks of Christmas. DEMONSTRATORS, I'm sorry, but the list is FULL that I set up for y'all.

So, here's the photo! If you're not on my newsletter list, dear reader, you WANT to be! This year's emails have been awesome, if I do say so myself. :D

OK! I hope you're planning on coming for the MY DIGITAL STUDIO showcase this evening; I'm having a BLAST with this program!!! I'll show you the slideshow on Monday, but I don't know how big the photos will be. If you're really interested in MDS, please email me or call me - and I'll send you the short file of photos to see. :)

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Tomorrow morning is Christmas Cards - and I think they're awesome, as usual. :D Now, then. Go stamp something, would you?? :D

BE BLESSED!
