Random Act of Kindness Challenge!

I am enjoying being part of the Peaceful Mama, Joyful Holiday group as part of Christine Vandenbor More Joy Better Life initiative for December it is a FREE online workshop on how to keep joy in your holidays! 

December 2nds challenge is right up my alley so wanted to share it with all of you ... Mail a thank you card to a Canadian Solider overseas the info on how this program works can be found here and you can find a list of the various addresses for mailing to just 'random' solider to receive it here. Please make sure you get adequate stamps for your destination as the 'to any solider' addresses are not FREE during December they are only free if you are mailing to a 'specific' soldier who is a family/friend. 

I am thinking I am going to have the crew help me each make a card and that way we can send out 5 of them this week! 

Happy Stampin'

November's Paper Pumpkin!


The Paper Pumpkin is an awesome treat for those who feel they need a little inspiration, have a time crunch for their paper crafting and want to invest in having some of the prep work done for them but still be able to 'hand stamp' it themselves! 

Each month everything you need (aside from scissors, adhesive and the reusable acrylic block) comes for that months projects and you can complete your projects in under half an hour. 

Love that you can either follow the direction to the T OR you can think outside the box and use your materials in different ways to create new projects!   

The Paper Pumpkin is a great resource for the new paper crafter as well as the old who is looking for some new inspiration! 
  1. You can sign up for the Paper Pumpkin HERE. Than click one of these three links:
    • . "Join Here" (middle of the page)

  2. In the "Quantity" field, enter 1 (or more) and click "Continue."
  3. Enter your general information and click "Continue."
  4. Enter your payment information and click "Continue." 
That's it! You are official. You will receive an e-mail that invites you to come back to the site to create a password. You will need that if you ever want to change your information, skip a month, or cancel Paper Pumpkin kits.

As a special perk, current Paper Pumpkin subscribers can purchase a selection of past Paper Pumpkin Kits and refills, while supplies last. When you fall in love with a kit, there's no need to be sad when your supplies run out--just go grab another one (or two)! We can't guarantee that every kit will be offered as a past kit and refill, and you should get 'em while they're hot because they're only available while supplies last! Check out the current selection at www.stampinup.com/paperpumpkin.

Please note:
  • Retiring products are only available while supplies last. The lists of retiring products will be updated every business day.
