RSA Team Meeting.....

Our next downline meeting is Thursday, October 15. Please mark your calendars and RSVP so we have a count.

We are going to bring in pizza for the evening meal so we will be collecting $3.00 per person to cover the cost for pizza, salad and soda/water for those in attendance.

Our swap theme will be Christmas. Please bring as many as you have time to make so that we have LOTS to put into the Troops box. I mailed a box with about 100 Thanksgiving cards as well as a few all occasion last week and will be mailing the Christmas Box on October 19. Martie needs to have the cards in her hands so that she can get them back into the mail on October 31. I will have extra cards cut for us to work on during our time together as well as having them out for the next two Fridays as well. Last Friday Chris and I put together about 60 cards so with this head start, my goal is to have a box of over 300 ready to go on the 19th. Please help in whatever way you can.

If you have any special questions or concerns, please bring them with you to the meeting or let me know ahead so that I can be sure to have the answer and be able to address it during the meeting for everyone to benefit from the answer.

RSA Downline Meeting

MEETING REMINDER

Don't forget to mark your calendars for this Thursday, September 17 for our next downline meeting, and let us know who is coming ASAP so we can coordinate and plan our potluck. Let me know if you are coming and what you want to bring. We have a few VERY IMPORTANT things to discuss so we hope everyone can join us.

Please bring 12 cards for our swaps. I'd like to suggest Thanksgiving as a theme, but ANYTHING will be graciously accepted and our extra cards will go into our troops box. I just mailed out a box this week that was a majority of Halloween cards. I'd like to thank everyone who had stopped by and helped me put them together while we were visiting and planning other events.

My Team was contacted today to be the Stampin' Up booth for the Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo at Cashman Center on September 26th and 27th. I have accepted the challenge and now am asking if anyone wants to help!

Please call or Email me if you are interested in participating!!!

Hands On Help!!!

New class format beginning September 2009. Third Saturday of the month will be HOH. This will consist of open house style workshop with a minimal fee of $5.00 plus the cost of any specific projects you complete while you are here.

This will consist of a day set aside for you to come and enjoy time with your friends and work on anything you want. You can bring your scrapbooking or whatever you want to work on of your own (with free use of my stamps and inks, Big Shot and dies), ask for special help and inspiration with a project you are working on OR work on one of my projects that you have missed and would like to do. This will include Friday cards & more projects and stamp camp items. Pick and choose what you would like and pay according to what you do. NO Technique Tuesday make-ups will be done during this time. The next three months will be a great opportunity to work on some Holiday projects for your friends and family.

Ronald McDonald Week #2

This week we are working on more Ronald McDonald cards. This is our last chance to make some cards for the Ronald McDonald House with our cute set this year. Hope everyone can make it out and we can work together to get a bunch of cards made for this great cause. See you all on Friday!

Stampin' Up News

Word from today's teleconference with Shelli is that beginning with our new July 09 catalog they are going back to just ONE main idea book per year and 3 mini catalogs which will last four months each. I believe they are going to have "different" hostess options in the mini's also to help vary the choices on those.

Sounds like good news to me. I personally liked the one catalog better and it is much more economical for us all.

Been a long time since we have had a personal downline meeting, but I know some of the girls are going to the monthly or bimonthly IHOP/Embarq gatherings. Please let me know if any of you are interested in having one of our own, and if so, please give me some date options that would work for you so we can see what works best for most.

Card Class 2-20-09

This week is our first batch of cards that we are doing in conjunction with the Ronald McDonald event. Make sure you come on out and be a part of this great activity and great event that works with and supports the Ronald McDonald House Charity. Of course you will also be going home with a stamp set, and adorable cards too! Can't wait to see everyone on Friday.

Ronald McDonald

Ronald McDonald Event
– February 20, 21 & 27 –

This will be a 3-day availability event so that EVERYONE will hopefully find time to participate. The essence of the event will be a Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser. Cost for the event will be $40.00 which will include the current Stampin’ Up! ® Ronald McDonald Set, which is Say it With Scallops and can be seen on the inside back cover of your current catalog. For each set sold (or person participating in our event) SU will donate $2.00 to the Ronald McDonald House. SU has donated over $2,000,000 to charities throughout the globe. Let’s be part of it. At our event we will be making six card designs and each participant will be making two they can keep for themselves and the rest of the cards in our buckets will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

This will be a Sign-Up event so that I know how many sets to order. We will hold the event during our regular Friday class times on February 20 and 27 and then have an extra Saturday session beginning at 10 am on February 21 for anyone that could not attend on Fridays and wants to participate. Pre-Registration Required by February 6, 2009. Late registration will be accepted, but you cannot be guaranteed to have your set on the first day of the event.

All participants will have the opportunity of reaping “benefits” from the event as well. We have devised the following choices that you can add to your “registration” and earn extra goodies of your choice:

Purchase an additional $25.00 from the NEW Stampin’ Up catalog with your registration and choose a FREE set from a group of pre-selected stamp sets.

Add an additional $50.00 order to your registration and get a pre-selected set as above PLUS choose a current Sale-A-Bration set of your choice AND qualify to use the February coupon in the coupon book. Each additional $50.00 qualifies you for another current Sale-A-Bration set.
If you do not have a coupon book, participation in the event will yield you one.

Not interested in the event, REGULAR Friday class participation will still be honored at regular class prices. See you there.
