Happy 10 year Anniversary TODAY

Yesterday was a great way to celebrate my 10 year anniversary with Stampin’ Up! (today is the actual day). 13 people came to my house for my annual Catalog Launch & Sale-a-Bration party (unfortunately it was a day of obligations for many of you). They made 3 cards designed by me and one card from the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit. I had many samples of cards, 3D items and products on display from the new catalogs and upcoming classes (those photos are at the end of this post). Over the last two days, 3 people have taken advantage of the fabulous Sale-a-bration promotion of the Starter Kit and joined my team. I’m so glad to have them be a part of Wicked Stampahs and have given them a pair of paper snips as a thank you for joining. As I announced previously, I’m giving snips away to the first 5 people who sign up – so that means I have two pairs left (do they have your name on them?).

I’m still putting names in the raffle jar for anyone who places an order in January. Five people will win a $10 gift certificate from me as celebration of my 10 year anniversary. Winners will be announced on February 1.

Don’t forget about the sale on the 3 month pre-paid subscription of Paper Pumpkin. This sale applies to new and existing customers and earns you a free Sale-a-bration item (sale price good until March 31 and there are no limits on how many you purchase). Sale price is $55 for 3 months. Click here for pre-paid Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions

I always forget to take photos because I’m having so much fun, but I did take a few:

Everyone went home with Hot Chocolate on a Stick as their party favor. Here’s a link to the recipe I used: http://www.makeandtakes.com/hot-chocolate-on-a-stick
