Late Night Stampers Blogging Stars

5 May, 2009 2 Comments

Sorry I am a bit behind with posting and such – Convention was awesome and I’ll pop a post about that a little later but for now I wanted to tell you about this exciting group I’m now part of.

Late Night Stampers is a Yahoogroup for Stampin Up! demonstrators and their friends who love stamping and love to share their works of ‘heart’ . I recently joined the group and have found everyone to be so supportive and encouraging and I just love to do sketches and challenges when time permits. So if you are like me and love all things from Stampin’ Up! and love to stamp and share then pop along to Late Night Stampers on yahoogroups and join up!

Now the lovely Mary Jo Price-Williams has started up the Blogging Stars which are groups of 10 bloggers from the Late Night Stampers group where we share and encourage each other in these groups with our works of ‘heart’, tips and ideas. I love visiting blogs and encouraging other stampers – I also love to receive comments & encouragement on my blog too so I look forward to improving my stamping and helping others in my group to do the same. I know that the friendships we will make and build will be long lasting ones and here are the awesome bloggers in the group I’m in …

Late Night Stampers Blogging Stars Group 1

As you can see I’m in very good company … so go visit these Star’s blogs and I know you wont be disappointed! Dont forget if you love Stampin’ Up! and love to stamp and share with others hop over to the Late Night Stampers Yahoogroup and come and join us!

Now I’m off to grab a cuppa – I got one of those funky Nespresso machines today (well its for mothers day but if I dont tell them its out of the box they wont know right?) … wonder how long it will be before George Clooney arrives???

An Award and a Latte!

11 July, 2008 5 Comments

I’ve been tagged by two lovely ladies!

Firstly, by my dear ‘always’ friend Kerri Hunter who awarded me with this award …

award1

Kerri and I met through Stampin’ Up!® and I treasure our friendship so much – she is an awesome stamper and totally amazes me with all she does every day without a second thought! Check out her blog – she does such lovely work. Thanks Kerri so much!

Now to pass this award onto five bloggin buddies ….

  1. Makeesha Byl – this lady is just awesome. She was the recipient of the first Australian “heart of Stampin Up!® award and is so deserving of it. Through Stampin’ Up!® we have become good friends – oh and she does really lovely work too!!
  2. Vanessa Webb – one of my downline and a great friend. Its hard to believe that prior to joining Stampin’ Up!® Ness had never stamped! Yes its true!!
  3. Nicole Stalker – I’ve known Nikki for quite a few years but only recently managed to get together after we realised the only time we saw each other was at Stampin’ Up!® conventions! Sad but true but we have remedied that now – see you next week Nikki! Oh she does awesome work too!
  4. Sharon Davis – this is another lady who amazes me with all she gets done – working full time, running a large household, wife/nurse to a Vet and also manages time for Stampin’ UP!® – it makes me tired just to think about all she does!
  5. Michelle’s Stamping Ground – this lady has become a special friend since convention and she always has time to message me on msn and see how I am. Her blog is looking great now she’s posting more so go check it out and encourage her!

I am sure they’d all love to hear from you! Now when I started blogging I never thought anyone would read my posts let alone give me awards! So each and every award I get really means alot.

Now for the machine. I have a thing for coffee – yes I know … you never knew! lol Well a few weeks back I was very sternly told not to buy any more espresso machines and not to even look at them.

EM5600_lWell my DH rings me today and suggests I go to The Good Guys and check out the latte machine they have there on sale – so whats a Latte Lover supposed to do??

Needless to say I didnt need much convincing and its now adorning my kitchen bench.

Doesnt it look great?? and it even comes with a DVD so its gotta be good right??

Now next time your over remember to ask me for a Latte!

Now I’m off to read the instructions and make a cuppa!

One of my lovely and talented SBS8 Sisters has nominated my blog for this award and I’m excited, encouraged and yet a little embarrassed as i haven’t posted for a few days. So Gwen thank you so much for bestowing this excellent award on my blog!

Now its my turn to bestow this award on blogs that I love to visit and always find inspiration from … so many to choose from …. drum roll please …..

Kerri Hunter

Kerri is a great friend and her work is so inspiring

Pat Huntoon

Pat’s work is also great and she produces the bi-monthly Technique Junkies newsletter which is worth every penny!

Jayne Mercer

Jayne is a lovely lady and a special friend – her work is inspiring and its no surprise she is published often

Tracey Eaton

Tracey is my lovely upline with Stampin Up and she regularly encourages me and she’s just got herself a new home on the web so check her out!

Creations by AR

I found Adela thru Beate’s yahoogroup and I must say she is such an inspiration and always ready to help and give tips where needed – she has some awesome projects on her blog and tutorials as well!

There are many blogs that inspire and motivate me and it would take forever to name them all so I’ve just chosen a few here to highlight.

I love to blog and I love to read other blogs too and have found that it is a lot of fun and it has also improved by Stampin’ Up! business and I feel through blogging I have grown and my work has improved as well. Its a great habit to get into to share your work and create more!
