Now, the hospital trip I could have completely gone without, needless to say. I'm feeling much better now, and even though the doctor says it'll take 2-3 months to get back all my energy and for my lungs to heal completely, I am feeling MUCH better! (Also, I had no energy to begin with...so the loss of what little I had isn't too large of a change.) However, the Stampin' Up! events I ended up attending did boo-koos to re-energize me in the way of growing my Stampin' Up! business, and I felt so privileged to attend and experience what all they had to offer us demonstrators. I'll do my best to start incorporating all I learned, and re-reading all of my notes and sharing with everyone the great tips and tricks they presented us, as well as some really awesome swaps I received! Who knew there were THAT many talented ladies (and a some men!) out there! For the most part, the entire experience was wonderful, and everyone was so kind, and I don't think I'll ever forget a moment about it. Several of my upline's group, the South Texas Big Shots were there, and I hope to post all my pictures with this great group of ladies, as well as their uplines/downlines, and fellow demonstrator friends soon.
For now, I'll leave you with some eye candy I started off in a blog never finished at the beginning of January. It includes some great Christmas swap cards I received, from some really talented ladies. I LOVE Christmas, and making cards for that time of year is my absolute favorite thing, I think, in starting off this journey with Stampin' Up!. I promise to get my camera to cooperate soon, and post some more relevant Valentine's Day and Spring cards soon. :)
Happy Stamping!

I don't know about everyone else, but I just can't seem to let go of Christmas just yet. I love this time of year! I did actually send out all homeade, Stampin' Up! Christmas cards this year, and I'm so proud of myself. :) I did wipe out my entire stock I had, though, so I'm raring and ready to start creating new ones as soon as I get some free time. Tell me what you think about all of these holiday card swaps I received, and if I should add some of them to my crafting stockpile for 2012.
This card was crafted by Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Nyla Kelley. Nyla does a fabulous job of crafting the neatest holiday items. This card had a little slot inside, and she gave every swap recipient a neat treat of hot cocoa mix inside. How fabulous!
On her card, I spy the following products:Greeting Card Kids stamp set (#119887 - pg. 34 of the 2011-2012 IBC)
Bells & Boughs stamp set (#120831 - pg. 43)
Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (#115370 - pg. 157)
Frame, Oval Scallop Bigz Die (#114521 - pg. 222)
Ovals Originals Die (#114525 - pg. 220)
Modern Label Punch (#119849 - pg. 209)

This card is brought to you by my upline, Judy Garza.
On her card, I spy the following products:
Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty DSP - #124004 (this was from the 2011 Holiday Mini)
Christmas Lodge Stamp Set (#123767 - pg. 29 of the Holiday Mini)
Mini Jingle Bells (#124116 - pg. 30)
~~~~~~~~~~
This card was actually our November 2011 Group Gathering card we got to make and take home with us. Created by Judy Garza, my upline, I just absolutely love it! It looks like a ton of work, but was actually really easy to make! Want to create it for your Christmas next year? Contact me, and we'll get a start now.
Happy Stamping,
Misty Kulik
