Can’t attend or live long distance.  This class with full and complete color instructions included.  Cost $30.

My calendar will be updated tomorrow with all the class schedules.  If for any reason the dates for your favorite projects are great fo you, then let me know and I will do a special one-on-one class for you and your friends at your convenience.

Make these great page marks for the cook in your family!

This is my most favorite project.  Who wouldn’t be better organized by having a dinner chart.  I know I could use one.  How many times have you been to the grocers and grabbed a few extra things while you were there with the intent to make something with them that week, only to find it rotting in your frig a month later.  Well, if it isn’t you, I know it is me.  This will surely help me get better organized with dinner.  Plus this is fun and looks fabulous too!  If it isn’t for you, this would make a great gift for any cook!

O.k.  This is another favorite.  I have holiday recipes all over the place.  What a better way of organizing those fun recipes for the holidays.  Let’s get together for this fun class.  Bring your favorite holiday recipe to share and get a head start on filling it up.

Now this was a fun project!  I have done season plates before, but glass etched plates.  This is fun becuase all you need is one plate with 12 different styles to change out each month.  Why not make your kitchen one that has fun and fresh focal points that you won’t find in your neighbors kitchen!

Now this fabulous project is great for family recipes.  This poject is fabulous becuase it is mostly made of chipboard, thinking outside the box for creativity.  This is one you’ll surely have for years to come and to pass on.  Fill this book with family recipes at your next gathering.

This is the perfect gift for the cook in your life even if it is you.  This makes a great personal gift for a new bride too.  All she needs is in one box. 

Now this class will be the most fun!  This class will be help at the Community Center in my neighborhood!  WHY?  Becuase while we make this fun project, we will also be making our own cupcakes, so bring your favorite recipe to share and let’s have fun baking together….

Call me TODAY to schedule your own private party for any of these classes and any projects you see on my SU! site, www.FREEdomSTAMPerS.stampinup.net  Check out those projects as well as the others posted on my blog in the coming weeks.

It has been a while since I’ve had a chance to update my blog.  I know I have neglected it but I do have a goal to post at least once a week these days.  Thanks for hanging in there…

My husband, Rodney, and I have been trying for 10 years to get pregnant!  We finally did it!  We are so excited, we can’t stand it.

We are due somewhere in the neighborhood of the end of November, first of December.  So many of you know already and have asked me to blog updates so here I am.  I usually don’t blog so much of my personal life so this is going to be new to me.  I am a few days into my first trimester and things are going very well.  Of course, I have all the symptoms one could get while in this condition and the fact that it is rare to have an AC in houses in the PNW doesn’t help on those hot summer days.  But we are getting through it as it is supposed to cool down soon.  Thank goodness!  So considering my condition and the timeliness of the cruising events I had previously scheduled, they are now cancelled. 

We did manage to over book my cruise event for October.  This event I was doing on my own with a fabulously lower price than what was offered from the previous company and one that included more than $100 worth of new products and fabulous projects.  One of my DL is actually escorting that event in my stead.  All the projects were designed by me, the only difference is I won’t be able to be there to teach it.  So many of you have either emailed or called to ask when I was doing another event.

Well, I will probably plan for one in February and/or April.  I will be heading to Florida/Georgia in late January for my Leadership conference and to introduce our newest family member to family.  I will be in Hawaii with Stampin’ Up! in March and will be attempting to move back to the east coast in late May/June.  My husband is supposed to be deployed shortly after we move, so I will do more planning while he is gone and post all trips and events on my blog.  But I will attempt to do another event in either February and/or April.  So stay tuned….

O.K.  So now you know why my blog has been quiet, stay tuned for postings in the next few days of fun projects from Convention.  If you live locally, keep an eye out for my calendar for events coming up.  If you live long distance, any of the projects and classes can be sent right to your home with color pictures and instructions for you to make at your convenience.  Just contact me for details.

Thanks again for hanging in there with me while I was AWOL trying to make it through my first 2 trimesters of this miracle pregnancy of ours.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  I greatly appreciate your support…Thanks, Nicole

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited……How much fun will this be?  Mexico, the sea, a cruise, and card making!  It just can’t get any better than that!  Well, I am stoked!  This is the first cruise I will be headlinging by myself!  My cruise!  YEAH!!!  Well, here are the details!

OCTOBER 6-10, 2008

Your trip includes 4 awesome card making classes.  You will learn some new and fun techniques, perhaps a twist on an old technique while making some fantastic cards that you will probably want to keep all for yourself!  However, the classes will be designed so that you will have at least 2 copies of each project we do so you can keep one and give one away.  

The classes will be product based which means you will go home with some of the product you used to make the cards to inlclude STAMPS!

If you are new to stamping or have been stamping for a long while, you will enjoy this spectacular event.

So grab your stamp club gals, your friends and family and join me for a wonderful 5 day event packed with lots of great scenery, fun, stamping and card making.

Bring your camera becuase I will also be offering some great tips on picture taking, cropping your pictures for scrapbooking and more.

I have lots of great fun planned for this event, so hurry and register, you won’t want to miss out on getting one of those hot limited spaces!

Stay tuned….When the new catalog is revealed at SU!’s annual convention, I will be selecting the stamps and products from the new catalog for our classes.  So make sure you are on my mailing list to be one of the first to get a catalog mailed to you along with a nice surprise if you preorder it.  That begins, June 15th. 

Well, before I get even more busier, I wanted to post this class.  Sign up TODAY to get in becuase spots are already filling up and space is limited…Just shoot me an email and call my VM with your credit card info and I will process your order.  Items need to be ordered ASAP to get here in time.  I will be at the Portland Rubber Stamp Convention this weekend and have a party tomorrow night, so I am on the go!  That is why email will be easier.  I need all orders in by Saturday noon, PST!

Live long distance and want to take this class too?  No problem!!!  This is part of my STAMPS/SCRAPS IN THE MAIL PROGRAM!  Just pay $5 for shipping added on to the price and you will receive all the items included in the Product Class Bundle.

I am so excited to be teaching rubber stamping with scrapbooking on the Ultimate Scrapbooking Cruise 2009.  What an honor to be sharing such an exciting event with the industries best!

How exciting to be traveling from FLORIDA, my home state and the wonderful and beautiful city of Ft. Lauderdale.  Then we will be heading over to the awesome and mcuh laidback island of Key West.  I was just there in October with Sandy Genovese, what an awesome trip – be on the look out for my blogs about that trip….Then on to the Cayman Islands and then to Jamaica before we head back to Lauderdale.  What an awesome trip that will be!!!  You surely won’t want to miss it!

We will be sailing on Carnival’s Brand New Freedom fun ship….

In the spirit of FUN!  And giving that my Stampin’ Up! Team name is FREEdomSTAMPerS…Then I would like to offer the following….For the first 100 folks who joins this cruising event and mentions my blog (my referral) then you will receive one of the stamp sets we will be using in my class, this way you won’t have to share with anyone else!!!

(Since this event is a year away a new catalog will be out then and you never know what new stamps will be available.  But since I am the ultimate stampin’ guru, you know we will be using stamps in my class.)

This FREE stamp offer is only good for the first 100 that reserve their space on this cruise.  For an even better incentive for you to get your friends together for a fun Girl’s Week at Sea, the first 50 will receive a special class bundle filled with lots of fun stamping goodies. 

All of this is in addition to all the great classes and fun giveaways you will be offered on board.

I am so excited and can’t wait.  I hope to see you all on board.  In fact, for those of you who do join us on the cruise, we may just have to blog about it and offer some fun prizes each month for folks joining my blog chat, just to make it more fun!

Keep an eye out for more blogging on the October 2007 Holiday Card Making cruise with Sandi Genovese, for the upcoming Alaskan get-a-way with the awesome Tim Holtz (May2008) and with a fabulous time we will be having with the very talented artist Donna Downey in Hawaii (November 2008)….

Chat soon….Nicole
