POODLE ON THE SPOT

So I went to my Stampin' Up club meeting yesterday! I was so excited to be part of a club again. It saddens me a little that I will no longer be a demo after this month but once I start teaching Preschool again I really will not have the extra time that it takes to be a demo. My kids keep me pretty busy too between Boy Scouts, baseball, dance and maybe softball or piano. Plus, I was getting really tired of being my own best customer. So I contacted Tara about joining her club when the new catty came out and luckily she had an opening right away! Yesterday I attended my first meeting, it was so much fun! Tara is such a fabulous demo and I'm really excited about being part of a club again! Can you tell I'm EXCITED??? It was great to attend a meeting and just play and not worry about doing any of the work. BTW, Tara's house is really cute too!

I got this retired On The Spot background stamp from Tara. I had my eye on it when it was current and never got around to ordering it. So when she gave us first dibs on her retired stamps I grabbed it right away! There is so much you can do with this background stamp. I just love anything spots, dots and stripes! Most of the papers in my stash have one or the other. I also pulled out an oldie but a goodie retired SU set: Parlez-Vous Francais. I ran the tip of my Apricot Appeal marker along the edges of the Very Vanilla ribbon to match the card. This card will go into my stash to give to my daughter Lily.
