Stamp with Michele

Busy Life and so much to be thankful for

I am so sorry I have been missing in action. So many good things have been going on in my life and just needed a bit of a break to get through everything.

I am thankful for.....

My wonderful customer friends that have helped me achieve 2, yes 2 goals this month. I achieved $200,000 in career sales with Stampin' Up! which gives me a monetary reward to assist me in going to the Stampin' Up! On Stage in November. On top of that, this month was the last monthly to earn monthly points to possibly use to pay for my registration to On Stage. I made this goal also which will pay the $275 registration fee.

I spent a day and a half with 2 of my great nieces.

I have found a part-time job that when they call I can turn down if I have a stamping event happening or even if the weather is bad. 

I have a supportive husband.

The list could go on but I will stop here for now. 

REMINDER: Open Stamping is tonight from 6 to 9 PM. Hope to see you there.
