Ahhh…back to the blog.  Its funny, I looked at my blog and I really haven’t been that way behind on my blogging, but I guess when you go from blogging pretty much everyday to having 5 day gaps in blogging – mostly about super fabulous sales –, it feels like its been forever.  Especially because I can look at my Edited Blog Pictures folder on my computer and see that I have a BUNCH of projects that I really really want to share with you.  Just means we are in good shape to hop back on the proverbial horse, huh?

See, I have just a few projects to share.

But I was talking to another great demonstrator, Ronda Wade, and she reminded me that yes, we are all human and life sometimes gets crazier than we would like.  Thankfully I don’t have any big sad stories about anyone getting seriously sick or damage and destruction (though we did have a frustrating bout of kids tummy bugs for days)… just that turns out sometimes momentum in your life takes over and it is a little hard to keep up with the pace you set for yourself.  So, I had to step back for a minute, get life a bit more in balance (you know like actually have a room in the house that was CLEAN… just ONE would do!)

This was before it was at it’s worst… though now I can almost see my desktop again and I can actually see floor!

I’m pretty darn blessed to have wonderful customers who kept coming to my classes and were so patient when I was a bit frazzled, and my amazing downline who kept chatting and sharing and INSPIRING each other and me when I was posting as often.  Seriously, how cool is it to have a hobby and a business that you can pause to take a breath and then come back feeling so much better and pick up where you left off?

The one thing I did keep up on, was my Northwest Stamper Facebook Page and in doing so, shared a lot of sneak peeks from the upcoming Sale-a-bration and spring Occasions Catalog!

Yes, that is a project coming in the spring!  If you are local to me in the Seattle/Bellevue area, we’ll be doing this together as a class later in the spring!

And look at that!  Sale-a-Bration is starting on January 6th!! That is WAY earlier than usual and awesome because I’m actually pretty excited about a lot of the items you can earn free during Sale-a-Bration… from cute paper and stamps that are only available during this promotion, to picking out those extra Blendabilities sets you may not have gotten yet.   And a GREAT bonus for hostesses as well (extra $25 to spend in hostess benefits anyone?)  If you are interested in setting up a date for a private class, card night with your friends, Facebook online party, or just extra catalogs to pass out to your friends, let me know and I’d LOVE to set something up for you to help you get all the extra goodies you can get! Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com

For example, here are a few cuties you can get:
