It's officially been one month since I last posted and I appreciate all of the concerned emails.  No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth.  I've just been trying to come up with the right words to explain my situation. 

For those of you that know me well, you know that I have one of the best husbands in the world….aside from yours, of course.  ;0)  He has always been very supportive of my Stampin' Up! business and genuinely tries to help.  For example, he started doing the laundry in January so that I would have more time to focus on Sale-a-Bration.  Pretty cool, eh?

And remember last month, I told you that he had a surprise for me for Valentine's Day?  Well, he took me to a gorgeous Victorian Bed & Breakfast.  We had a great dinner and night away with no kiddos…it was wonderful!  You can click the photo below to get a good look at all my goodies from that night.

In addition to being a great husband, he is also my partner in our chiropractic office.  We met during chiropractic school and really have not spent much time apart since we first started dating.  It's not always easy working together, but we have managed to do alright.

However, we both want to take our practice to the next level and that is going to require a full-time committment from both of us to make it work.  There is more training to do and systems to implement.
I've always had a fairly easy work schedule that allowed me to also have a steady Stampin' Up! business.  However, I have now added at least 10 additional work hours at my office and I am finding that I have very little time to myself, let alone to devote to stamping.

I've had to figure out a new role in my stamping business this past month and I've gone back and forth many times, trying to do the right thing.  I came back from Leadership pumped up and ready to launch several new "products" this month (including an online scrapbook club).  After careful evaluation, I don't feel that I can offer any additional services and do it with the level of quality and customer service that would be appropriate.  I may be able to offer occasional tutorials, but it will be awhile before I will revisit some of my other ideas.

As far as my local customers, I am going to be doing one class a month on the third Sunday of each month from 2pm–4pm at the Stamp Shack.  I am calling it a Stamp-a-Rama and it will feature 2 or 3 projects….usually a card, scrapbook page, and 3-d item.  The cost is $10 per person or it is FREE with a $30 purchase.  All supplies except adhesive will be provided and you must RSVP to attend.  The next class will be Sunday, March 20th.  I would love to see you there!

I've had many of you ask if I will be doing the SNAIL adhesive bulk buy this month.  The answer is YES!  You can view the details on this flyer.  The order will be placed on March 28th.

So, with my hectic work schedule, my posting on the blog may be a little sporadic over the next few months.  Hang in there!  I'll be back in full force…..eventually!

And finally, I'll leave you with a few images from the rest of Valentine's Day weekend.  I had a Cupcake Cuties Stamp-a-Stack on Friday night and 2 of the cards are pictured below.  We also had a downline meeting and I've created a collage of the projects, demonstrations, and some of the people that attended.  We had a great time and I hope to do it again soon.
