Where I've been Part 1........

Cards for the Cure Event! Here are some of the pictures of our Cards for the Cure event that we had October 10th 2009. We were able to raise $207 for the Donna Foundation here in Florida.

Here are two photos of the Ladies hard at work and an overview of Joey's Studio.

Here is a Picture of Mary winning the GRAND PRIZE!!! All of us wanted that AMAZING apron. So lucky!

Here is a picture for the Amazing team that I am so privileged to be a part of. Everything I know I have learned from Joey. She's the one in the middle with all the bling on her apron. That's how you know who's the boss. She is an incredible upline, and I would not trade in my team for the world. Thank you SO much Joey for introducing me to this Lovable World!!!!

Here is a picture of my VERY FIRST CUSTOMER!!!!! I met Brenda at the Cards for the Cure event, and she just made my day. I was putting so much in to the Stampin' Up! business and not seeing too many results, and then she came along and showed me the light. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH BRENDA FOR SHOWING ME WHY I STARTED ALL THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!

Asbury Pizza donated Pizza to feed us all and they also gave us some frequent buyer cards. If you are ever in the area, stop by and have a bite. Their Pizza is SOOOOOOO Delicious I would eat it every week if my other half would let me! ;)

We had so much fun and it was all for a Great cause. I can't wait for next year.

Where I've been part 2.....

These are the adorable invitations I made for the party. I made 25 of each of these, and there will be matching candy cans too!!!! I blacked out some of the information..... just so there aren't any party crashers!

I LOVED the way they turned out. I ended up using crystal effects instead of clear embossing for the Cookie Monster and Elmo invitations. The embossing powder started to stick to some of the invitations, and it was getting on my nerves. The crystal effects took a while to dry, but it was where I wanted it to be and it all came out so smooth. Hope you guys have a great turn out! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHOOSING ME TO MAKE YOUR INVITATIONS AND CANS!!!

Where I've been part 3....

I have been putting together another FUN order for my Family back home!!! Here are the candy cans that I made using empty baby formula cans. These are 25 of Cookie Monster to go with the invitations. I still have the Elmo, Big Bird, and Bert and Ernie to go. However to cut on shipping cost, instead of sending the cans to me and them me sending them back complete; we decided that I would do all the lids for the other 75 cans and just send the wrappers back home. I really enjoyed making these, even though it was a lot of work. I think the end result was great!

Here are the cans ready to leave me. You can see part of the picture of where I photo shopped the baby in with the rest of the characters! Hope you guys enjoy them.
