Sale-A-Bration Time...

Sale-A-Bration has begun and for me, it means a calendar brimming with workshops for hostesses who earn "many bennies," getting inspired for the coming of spring and clearing out my studio and taking inventory.

As I prep for my workshops, I'll share some of our projects. I offer a variety of workshops, geared for the beginner and/or geared for the experienced stamper. I have hostesses who prefer I demonstrate and her guests make one thing to take home and brag about. I have other hostesses who prefer to host Mini Stamp Camps, where her guests pay a minimal fee to cover the cost of the materials, but whom walk away with six finished projects. The choice is up to the hostess...

My studio silence on the blog lately has meant that I've been busy clearing out and purging. We started in the bedrooms and have been working our way downward. My time in the studio has been exhausting, but exhilarating. I love the affirmation and accomplishment I feel when a space is cleaned out and ready to enjoy. I'm always embarrassed that it had reached the sad state from which I brought it, though!

I leave you with a picture of my latest project: inventory. I wait until Sale-A-Bration to fill up my paper, ink, refill and embellishment supplies. I save my pennies every year to take advantage of the benefits that come with placing a Sale-A-Bration (SAB) order. Any $50 merchandise order qualifies -- no workshop required!
This year, there are four stamp sets, a Designer Series Paper and Quick Accents Pack, a Ribbon & Button Pack, a disc of digital media for My Digital Studio, a Decor Element, plus a slew (sp?) of stamps from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog (listed on the inside back cover of the SAB Mini). You can choose one for FREE with each $50 merchandise purchase. Do you see now why I wait to restock until Sale-A-Bration?!
Contact me if you'd like a copy of this fabulous tool for tracking your supplies. Great for restocking purposes as well as planning for big projects...
