Be sure you get your Big Shot Starter Kit from Ann.  She's got a great special to help you get started.  You'll get TONS of free stuff when you buy now.   You'll get even more than the $100 of free stuff from Stampin' Up!!  Read all about it here.

From that, she made the Chocolate Chip rose as a spin off at a recent workshop.  It uses the That one's cool too!  Click on them both for a close up.

Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

Tune back in tomorrow.  Got a new camera yesterday and we're working on some fun stuff just for you including an

OH NO!  IT'S NOT LEAP YEAR!
Special

This class is offered at my Central Bark home on Saturday, March 14th or by mail if you're too far from my yard.

You can get more information or register by clicking this cute little orange bar below.  You won't want to miss this one with that cool Raspberry Tart paper.

  - And there's a free stamp set when the class is full!

I found this pretty birdie with the Rhinestone Brad eye on the table today.  He's pretty quiet.  Not like those other birds that torment me in my back yard. 

I think I like this one better.  Looks an awful lot like the ones in the Good Friend part of my Art Gallery!

Enjoy!

We had such a good time at the Banniversary Bunko party on Saturday!  It's been raining ever since so I've been curled up in my blanket for most of the past two days.  This dog wasn't meant to get wet & I have the raincoat to prove it.  Ann pretty much has to shove me out the door even with protection!  When I was a pup, she used to come out with an umbrella AND make me wear a raincoat!  Special dogs need special protection!

We're working on a video to share the project they did at half-time.  PLUS we'll be announcing the winner of the $100 from the Giveaway Board.  (Hint:  She's already spent it so she knows who she is!)

This is the time to take advantage of Ann's Big Shot Starter Kit Special.  Everything you need to get a good start at using the Big Shot PLUS a free Sizzlet & free shipping on all dies until 6/30/09 (only from Ann & me) AND 4 Sale-A-Bration picks (stamp sets, ribbon bundle &/or Designer Paper shown here) AND a FREE Hostess Set AND $20 in your choice of merchandise!  Such a deal!

You DO know that you can click on almost any picture to see it up close & personal, right?  There's more in the Art Gallery.

So for all you stampers out there with the good wishes, Ann made this card and had the stampers make their own version of it.  It's just to let you know how much we both appreciate you.  Honestly, I think that a touch of those Big Shot Texturz plates with the polka dots across the top Pretty in Pink part would really set this puppy off.  That Raspberry Tart paper & the new Organza Ribbon is pretty cool too.

Gotta love it!  And we love YOU! 

and P.S.  Remember to spay or neuter your pets & weird friends & relatives - and vote for me for the Humane Society's Spay Day 2009.  I could be the poster dog!

This picture isn't half as good as what the rainbow across the street looked like.  We could see both ends!  If Cecil was feeling better, we'd have gone into the orchard looking for the pots of gold with a shovel in our paws.

Aren't these cool cards that Ann got in the mail over the weekend?  From left to right, Amanda Kossow, Chris Nefskey, Jan Pochert & Mary Haugen.

Good job stampers!

And I think I'm getting my hair done as well as a manicure & pedicure.  You'll have to check me out!

Got 1 more paper share left.  Are you the lucky person to get in?  Ann's cutting paper today for them all to go out tomorrow.  Check it out here.

The cards were made by my Doodle Bug & her human, Kay Jackson.  The one on the left uses Lumiere & is for Ann's birthday coming next week.  The one on the right is from Doodles for me for Valentines.  I am quite the stud, you know! 

Then Jen Clark sent us something in this cool envelope she made.  I couldn't think of a better page to recycle! 

Then there's the the pair of things that I am not allowed to touch.  I don't think I'm even allowed to speak of these things....but I'll tell you.  Those are two of Cindy Williams' truffles!  I think Ann said that they are to die for, but I'm sure she meant that they'd kill me if I ate them.  (please don't feed chocolate to your dog.)

Thanks friends!  Enjoy your day!  I'm selling kisses for a dollar a pop.  Stop by when you've got a minute. 

Then for those of you who were thinking that you'd like a career change either full time or part time to something that you'd LOVE to do, you are in the right place!  You can join my mob - OK - Ann's team of 24/7 Stampers for only $169 AND a free stamp set of your choice (up to $47.95) from the big book!  That's over half off the value of what you get.    (& $30 off the usual price that doesn't include that bonus stamp set.)  You'll even get free shipping too!  Gotta love that!

Talk to Ann today or check out what's in the Starter Kit.  You won't be sorry!  Tell your sweetie that this weekend is an exciting time to become a demonstrator!  Go ahead!  Make this your lucky day!

These skinny tins are still available for purchase.  Just use the SHOP NOW button & order #108333.  You can have them for only $1.95 each!  For best results, be sure that you use the Embossing Buddy #103083.

Does your sweetie know what you want for Valentines Day?  Have him email me so you can get what you REALLY want.  OR order it yourself!

Here's a shout out to my little Doodles who sent me a really nice Valentine Card with a REALLY BIG heart on it.  I think she's hot for me!  The thought makes me shake with excitement!

There are even more cool ideas in the Art Gallery!

Now if she'll just turn on the TV before she leaves!  In the meantime, I'm off to find the remote!

So look what Stampin' Up! sent her this week!  Is this cool or what?  Click on it & you'll see those diamonds up close.  Yep, they're real.  Small, but real.  Just like me.  If I'm lucky, she'll let me wear it on my collar.

So happy anniversary, Ann!  10 years!  WOW!  And if YOU'D like to share the same anniversary date with Ann, just email her so that you can chat & see what the next step is for YOU to have fun at work!!  Maybe one day, you'll be lucky enough to own a Jack Russell!  Pssst!   - do it YOUR way.  My clone might be taking this thing just a bit too far.  What would you call it?  Ink Spot?

This is a close up of the Glitter Window technique that Ann taught at the latest Technique Geeks class.  The card is made using the Movers & Shapers Big Shot die cut.  Click on the picture to see the whole card made with Pacific Point textured cardstock.

Wait until you see whazzup for tomorrow!

Don't you just LOVE this card?  My Doodle Bug would really like this one.  It's all purple-y, just like grape jelly on peanut butter.  (PB without the J & bread is my FAVORITE!)  Click it for a close up!

They learned the Magic Snowflake technique at the Technique Geeks Class.  Look at that cool Certainly Celery Polytwill.  It's hecka cool.  Don't miss the next Technique Geeks on March 3rd!  I'll be posting the registration soon, but you can get a jump on it if you're on the newsletter list.

Looks like it should be a video - if I could just get that new camera to work!  Perhaps I'll dig out the old one.  I've had so many emails from my adoring fans out there, that I hate to disappoint. 

.....and the Oscars are just around the corner!

Just never know where being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator will take you.

Just wait until tomorrow when I post last night's projects from Technique Geeks.  Your mouth will drop when you come back.

Doodles has been pining for a picture of me.  Gosh, girlfriend!  I posted one with me and all the boxes of stamps, papers & dies last week!  That's okay.  I know that getting a glimpse of greatness can be very enticing so here it is in the form of an announcement ...

The first group of the paper share went out yesterday.  Those of you who got in early got some nice little Fleurettes.  just click on my picture and if you can get past my glow, you'll see the little crocheted flowers.  I'm just guarding them until my favorite postal worker shows up.  I'm good that way.  We've got another group going out later this week.

There are only FOUR spots left if you want to get into the last group.  After that, we're done.  As soon as those are full, we'll get that paper down here & slice away into 6" x 6" samples.  Check it out here.

I could learn the tango to get some exercise!  The Tangerine Tango, of course!  That's the color of this project.  It's done with the new Curly Label Punch Die for the Big Shot!  My Big Shot Babes are eyeing it really good & some are getting it with the free shipping we give them because they got their Big Shot here.  (pssst!  You DO know that it's named after me, right?)
