First night's pillow gift.  A cute disney bag with our name on it.  It was full of snacks, disney style!  Thanks SU!

Disney

 We arrived safely and found an amazing Room that Stampin Up! had for us at the Boardwalk hotel  This cute towel of Mikey was on our bed

 Huge room with a balcony that has two chairs and a table for us to sit on while we are here
 Inside the hospitality room was this cute horse along with lots of goodies for us.
 Darrell met some new friends that also raised Chickens...
Here is Darrell entering the hospitality room..... Stay tuned more to come

Stamping on Tiles



Stamping on Tiles (for coasters)
Ink:  Craft Ink, (Craft ink is used because it is a slow drying pigment ink.)
Expect for White and Vanilla, you will need to buy the Uninked Craft Stampin’ Pad 122265 $ 4.95 and the color of Craft reinker that you desire. They are $4.25 each. 
Start with a Clean Dry, Tile that is non glazed.  Stamp Images on your tile.  I like to use the Sponge Daubers to go around the edges to give it a finished look.  Bake in the oven on 325 for 10 to 12 minutes.   Allow to cool and spray with a Glaze.  I added “feet” to mine so they are more stable.

Daisies

I spend Saturday with one of my new recruits helping her get her business started.  Upon arriving the guest got to see several ways that Mary have been using her Stampin' Up! products.  One of my favorite was this bouquet of daisies that were displayed with her SU Catalogs!  It was a fun day!  Thanks Mary for all your hard work in preparing for your girls to come stamp with you!
