Can I say that this “Thinking of You Card” goes out to everyone who stops by here? Especially since there’s been a bit of radio silence here on YamStamps.com for a little bit. Apologies, but know that I truly was thinking of you all, and I’m working on getting more consistent here. (I’ve been really good with my email newsletters <shameless plug – sign up here>, so there’s that, I suppose….)
Working in Ontario home healthcare is my main occupation, though I reduced the days I work a number of years ago, in an effort to keep a bit of a balance in my life. Obviously for the past year like everyone else, I’ve been dealing with the COVID situation, and truthfully, I’m finding that my energy lags a bit and that also affects my creative mojo at times. This past weekend was a bit of a boost to me though, so I’m thankful for that.
On Saturday, I participated in Stampin’ Up!’s On Tour Demonstrator event. Originally designed to be a small event held in various locations around the Stampin’ Up! world, it was moved to an online format, but still had designated “locations”. Demonstrators could register for an event close to their geographic location so it was possible to meet up with other demos in your area (roughly). We watched presentations featuring product from the upcoming new Annual Catalogue and chatted with other demos in our breakout rooms – I realized that one of my favourite thing about demo events is meeting up with my demo friends – old and new. It was a boost to my spirits for sure. Can’t wait until we can meet up in person again!!!
So – back to the Thinking of You card…the Stitched Shapes Dies are on the Retiring List so are available while supplies last. They’re one of my favourite sets of dies because of the variety of shapes and the layering-ability. I combined them with the Art Gallery Bundle (which includes the Art Gallery Stamp Set and coordinating Floral Gallery Dies), the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and the Fine Art Ribbon. All those items are from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue, so we have a bit more time before we have to worry about what’s retiring from that catalogue LOL.
Tonight I’ll be meeting online with my Stampers Club members and later this week with my “Eh” Team demonstrator group, so I’m looking forward to those events, which always give me a boost. Another <shameless plug> – if you’re interested in joining either of these groups, please click on the links or message me for more information!
