Holiday mini is almost here!

Hi friends,

I hope you are doing great! Today was our first day of school here in Texas. Not only did I send off my girls to 3rd and 8th grade but I welcomed 17 second graders to my class. We had a great day but boy am I tired!!!! I am ready for bed and it's only 7:30.

Today I am sharing the holidy mini that goes live in a couple of days. It is packed with all kinds of goodness! I just received a shipment of catalogs so if you would like one, simply contact me or leave me a comment and I will be happy to get one sent to you.

I hope you have a great week! Please be patient with me as I try to balance the beginning of school activities and posting to my blog. New projects coming soon be on the look out!

Happy Stamping!

Paper Pumpkin Play Date Recap

Hi friends,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We slipped away and spent the weekend at the lake with my inlaws. Tomorrow I go back to school for a week of inservice and the kiddos start on the 25th. It was so nice to relax and spend time with my family before we all get so crazy with back to school. When do your kids go back to school?

Last Thursday I had an event at my house that I called " Paper Pumpkin Play Date." If you have been following me for awhile you know I love Stampin' Up!'s monthly craft kit called "Paper Pumpkin." It's a subscription service that is mailed to me around the 20th of the month. Each month is a new kit with everything I need to complete the project except adhesive. When my guests arrived they chose which project they wanted to make (out of 3 choices). I had them follow the written directions that were included in each box so they could see how easy they were. Each guest made one project and some chose to make two. Everyone did a great job and had fun. I also put out the retired product I had left over from my catalog kick off party in June so my guests could do some shopping.
I will definitely have another play date in future.

If you are interested in subscribing to Paper Pumpkin, please check out www.mypaperpumpkin.com for more information. Don't forget to choose me, Tracey Dean, as your demonstrator. I like to give my subscribers extra goodies!

Happy stamping!

Make a Wish flip card

Hi friends,

How is everyone today? I am exhausted!!!! I spent most of the day up at school for a team meeting and then planning. There is so much to do to get ready for the new school year. We hosted summer school on my campus this year so we had to pack up even more than usual. I know if will all get done, it always does but it's a lot of work.

Today I am sharing a fun birthday card my club members made last month. It has a fun fold which makes it unique and different. I love the colors and the stamp set is one of my favorite!

Tomorrow I am NOT going up to school. :) A friend and me are taking the kids to a water park to have some fun. They are so excited and so am I.

Happy Stamping!

A little sumthin'sumthin' !

Hi friends,

How is everyone today? So excited to see I am getting a few more views on my blog posts. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading. I would love for you to share my blog with your crafty friends.

Today I am sharing a project we made at last month's stamp club. I wanted to showcase one of our fabulous kits so I chose the " A Little Sumthin' Sumthin' Gift box kit" on page 198 in our annual catalog. I added the coordinating "Sumthin' Sumthin' " stamp set and some adhesive to create a super cute gift box that fits a gift card or a few small treats. I love the price too! The gift box kit it only 13.95 and it makes 10 boxes. My guests loved how quickly they came together and how many each kit made. If you would like to order them for yourself, visit my online store at www.treasuresbytracey.stampinup.net.

Happy Stamping!

You are a big shot!

Hi friends,

How are you? I hope you enjoyed a nice weekend. I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already! This will be my last week of summer vacation before I have to report back to school for staff development. I have had a wonderful summer and will be sad to see it go.

I wanted to remind you about an awesome deal Stampin' Up! is offering this month. If you purchase a Big Shot die cutting machine you will receive a free stamp set and framelit bundle. That is an incredible deal! I use my Big Shot machine all the time. If you don't have one, I would grab this deal quickly before the month is over. Already have a Big Shot? You can purchase a discounted stamp set and framelit bundle. This is also a great deal! I have at least one on my personal wish list. Shop my website www.treasuresbytracey.stampinup.net

Happy Stamping!
