The Frozen River

Frozen_river

I recently finished this book and thought I would recommend it if you like historic fiction.  It is well written about a remarkable real woman in Maine around the late seventeen hundreds.  Martha Ballard is 'an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard.'  sem

Thoughts?  What do you think of the new colors?  I don't have any of the products yet but I am anxious to see these colors 'in person'!!!  Can't wait to order!  Anyone interested in my 2025-27 IN COLOR CLUB?

Miss Mary came to stamp club last night.  She is delightful and she set a record for me ~ she is older than all of the other guests I have had join me for some stamping fun!  On her upcoming birthday cake, May 1, she will have 100 candles!  

IMG_2129In this picture, Miss Mary is with her friend, Janie, who brought her to our Thursday evening stamp club get-together.  Thanks so much Janie!

IMG_2132Miss Mary was particularly fond of the cats who own the Cat/Art Studio.  She gave Jupiter treats.  Jupiter wants Miss Mary to return to the studio as often as possible!  Miss Mary made it a special evening of crafting!

 


From Stampin' Up! ~ new rewards program information

New Stampin’ Rewards Program Coming Soon! 

We’re excited for the new Stampin’ Rewards program to begin on April 15.
We’ve previously announced details about the new program in weekly updates, emails, videos, and town hall meetings. Here are a few highlights:

  • The updated program incentivizes individual customers and demonstrators with 10% in rewards on qualifying orders to use on future purchases. 
  • The threshold to earn rewards will be significantly reduced: $20 USD/$25 CAD.
  • There’s just one earning threshold instead of multiple tiers. 
  • Demonstrators will be automatically opted in and will earn rewards on qualifying purchases before the 20% or 25% order discount is applied. 
  • Customers need an online account and must opt in to participate. (Keep in mind that as a demonstrator, you can place orders for your customers and may apply any of your earned rewards, as you choose.) 
  • The 50%-off item (with the larger orders) will no longer be included in the program. 
  • All product credits (including those from the Compensation Plan or Sale-A-Bration) will be automatically converted to Stampin’ Rewards and will be earned as Stampin’ Rewards going forward. 
  • Demonstrators will have the opportunity to gift rewards to customers and other demonstrators. 
  • Rewards will have expiration dates. 
  • Demonstrators will not have access to view or manage their customers’ rewards balances. 
  • The Rewards Dashboard for demonstrators and customers will easily keep track of rewards. 

And so much more! Watch for more information in the coming weeks and get ready to earn, redeem, and gift rewards to enjoy the new program! 


Enjoy the snow!
