New Catalog Slips One day

Ladies I'm sorry but I need to reschedule the New Catalog party from 1 July to 2 July 2010 for personal reasons.  I hope that this does not inconvenience you and that you are still able to make it.  Or that if you were not able to make it on 1 July, that 2 July is better for you. If you signed up for 1 July and cannot make the… Read More »

How much Time should I be spending on my Business

How Much Time Should I Be Spending On My Business –   By John Sanpietro, Stamping Is My Business My clients always ask me, "How much time do I think they need to spend on their business in order to be successful?" And I always tell them the same thing:  there is no real, set answer to that question. Everybody has a different business.  Therefore, the amount of time each… Read More »

Messages for Mom

Good Morning stampers!  For today's post, I thought I would pair a relatively new stamp with retiring card stock.  The stamp set is Messages for Mom and the card stock and paper is Almost Amethyst and Tea Party Designer Series Paper.  The challenge is from SUDSOL's Case Challenge #39 – you take a a case sample from the Stampin' Success Magazine and either copy it exactly or chance it slightly.  Since… Read More »

Why Do I need to keep track of my finances?

Why Do I Need To Keep Track Of My Finances? For home-based stamping business owners, keeping track of finances is one of their least-favorite things to do. The truth is, many of them don't really want to know how much they are spending because, generally, they are spending more than they should. As a business owner, though, it's very, very important for you to keep track of finances. 1. It… Read More »

Let’s Partay!!!!

Good Morning Stampers It's that time of the year again.  The long awaited 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog will be here on 1 July 2010.  Let's celebrate by having a party!

I can’t Book any Parties…

This is a familiar tale of woe that we at the Stampin' Up!  hear fairly frequently. The truth of the matter is, if you aren’t booking enough parties, you aren’t asking enough people. That is usually the easy answer and the bottom line. Perhaps you are thinking about asking people to host a party, but if you would actually log your activity you would see that you just aren’t asking… Read More »

Extreme Surfboard

Good Morning Stampers! It's a good thing none of the extreme sports stamps are retiring because then I would not know what kind of card to make for my grandsons! They are at that age where finding just the right card to make is really hard – they are teenagers after all! Today's card showcases the Stamp Set, Extreme Surfboard and it's for my grandson Tanner who will be 15 on his… Read More »

Happy Father’s Day Poppa!

Good Morning Stampers Before I go into today's post, I have to talk about my granddaughter, Rachel.  I took my granddaughter shopping with me on Friday.  While we were at Dillard's she was pushing her stroller instead of sitting in it.  The saleslady came up to her and asked her what she was doing.  Rachel replied that she was pushing her baby around.  The saleslady replied that she didn't see… Read More »
