What's this you ask? It is all of our favorite time of the Stampin' Up! year - renamed!

There is a Host Special, as well as a New Recruit Special should you take the plunge and join the SU! & StampinJewels Family too. More information will follow.

Stampin' Chats
Stampin' Chats will hopefully return in January. I was so hoping to be able to get together at least once - I certainly could use the time for all teh Christmas projects I've got on my plate right now - and that doesn't include decorating my home and baking cookies! :) Please know I am missing you all this month!!

Tip of the Month
ENJOY the Christmas Season both now and through the Epiphany (when we celebrate the visit by the Three Wisemen) the first weekend in January.
Make the decision to scale back a little bit on your projects, and let go of whatever doesn't get done. YOU DESERVE to enjoy this magical and joyous time of the year! Here's a new "To Do" list for you: Donate to your Church's Christmas Giving Programs - not just money but your time helping as well. Snow? Build a snowman and/or make a Snow Angel. Not enough snow for that? Catch snowflakes on your tongue. Drive around your city one night a week looking at the Christmas lights. Spend a quiet hour with our Lord sitting before the altar or tabernacle at your Church. Enjoy a time of silence every day in your home (and I don't mean when you are sleeping! heehee)
