I am writing this Newsletter while sitting in the airport.  I'm on my way to Orlando FL for the 30th Celebration of Stampin' Up!  I have been a part of this fabulous company for almost 12 years and am so happy I joined and hope that you will consider joining too.  Many of us Demonstrators have been looking forward to: seeing fellow demonstrator friends from all around the world ('m staying with friends from Brisbane Australia, California & Massachusetts - we are going to have a blast with each other), seeing the unveiling of new Spring 2019 products, learning new stamping techniques and who knows what else I am going to see & learn.  I will be posting all these good things on my Mail Something Pretty Facebook page, so be sure to be a "friend" of mine and check back to that page often.  This Newsletter is a little brief, but I'll be sharing many great things in the next few days.

Stampin' Up! released a great set of products that are only available during the month of November (or while supplies last).  I wrote a post about these products (2 stamp sets, Framelits, white velvet paper and snowflake trinkets) last week.  Click HERE to see the post with photos of the cards I made.  I'm in love!

Did you know that Stampin' Up! has a new feature that showcases products around a particular project?  They list each product used next to the card and you can check off which items you want to purchase from one list, rather than searching item by item.  I think this is a brilliant idea!  Take a peek at these 8 project ideas HERE.  I won't be surprised if we will be seeing more samples to see/shop from too.

There is still room for both Sundays!  TODAY is the last day for the EARLY BIRD TREAT.  I will have to make a minor adjustment to 3 of the above boxes because the wooden elements are no longer available.  I will do this right when I return from FL. 

Make your own advent boxes to countdown to Christmas.  You can display these boxes in many ways:  string along burlap ribbon to use as a garland, stack the boxes on top of a mantle or shelf, or hide/display them around your house.  You could even use them as gift boxes instead of a countdown.  No experience necessary as a lot of the prep-work will be done for you when you arrive.  The boxes are pretty easy to assemble.  If you don't finish, don't worry!  You will be going home with all of the supplies, so you can finish at home.

Included in $55 class fee:

~ pre-cut box shapes ready for assembly

~ supplies for all tags/labels

~ numbers for countdown (you can choose to place them anywhere on your boxes)

~ products for you to use & take home:  roll of Tear & Tape, 1 sheet of dimensionals, roll of striped burlap ribbon, 3 rolls of Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine and one more surprise.

Two dates to choose from:

RSVP by 11/13

RSVP by 11/19

I will have festive music playing and I'm sure my daughter will be happy to have some baked treats for you to snack on.
