Going in Circles!

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like you've spun your wheels all day?  That was my day today!  My work computer doesn't work while I'm in the office - but it works fine when I work from home.  So, today I was in the office, and you guessed it, nothing got done!  There is no better way for me to relieve the stress of the day than to come home and stamp.  Somehow it seems like today's work frustration manifested itself in my card.  LOL!  It's been one of those day!

Hooray for today!

As I write today's post, it is early Monday evening.  It's been a nice quiet day here, but cold!  Apparently tomorrow we're going to get another snow storm.  Oh boy!  I can barely wait (in a sarcastic voice).  Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it, right?  

Today's card is a case of one I saw on Pinterest a couple weeks ago.  I don't know what it is about the Life in the Forest set, but I really like it!  I've seen some super cute cards with this set.  What about you?  Do you like this set, too?

You Mean the World to Me!

Greetings!  Today was a bitterly cold day here....and we had a little snow overnight.  Just enough snow to make the roads very treacherous for the morning commute.  It was a perfect day to stay inside and stamp all day, but no, to the office I went.  I'm so ready for warmer weather!  

I've had this card hanging around for a while.  I kept changing it up till I came up this layout.  Simple, but it makes a point.

My Paper Pumpkin Promotion

Stampin' Up is running a promotion from now until February 10.  When you sign up for My Paper Pumpkin before February 10, Stampin' Up will send you a set of 2012-2014 In Color Stampin' Write Markers for FREE!  And who doesn't like free?  The markers will be included with your first shipment.

If you have been thinking about My Paper Pumpkin, but weren't sure, some customers in Houston had a chance over the weekend to preview some of the new sets coming up.  Here is a comment from one of them, as relayed by her demo:

"She said she could tell by the monthly displays that the kits were getting nicer and the SU staff that was there told her that they really listened to demonstrator feedback and have started putting more content in the kits.  She was impressed.  And, she is a seasoned stamper and a teacher."

So, now is the time to give My Paper Pumpkin a try!  And to sweeten the pot, when you sign up and select me (Melanie Coverston) as your demo, I will send you a $15.00 gift certificate to use on any order you place with me after your third month as a My Paper Pumpkin customer.  Simply go to http://www.mypaperpumpkin.com to get started!

To order any Stampin' Up! supplies, including those from the new Occasions catalog, send me an email.  If you prefer, click the Stampin' Up logo on the right side of the page to order online. Orders placed online are delivered directly to you.

Please remember, if there is anything I can do for you, shoot me an email and let me know - or, leave a comment here on my blog.
