Found this great video this morning and thought I'd share.  It's generic about the direct selling industry as a whole, but when it gets to the "passion" and "fun" parts I think you'll see why I've chosen STAMPIN' UP!® as MY company to represent.

BTW, if you 're reading this from a feed and can't see the embedded video, click over to the actual post:

Oh, and don't forget the FREE BIG SHOT die-cutting machine (or $100-worth of catalog product)  you'll get as a bonus for signing up during October 2011!

Check out this video featuring the brand-new My Digital Studio "Savor the Season" limited-edition hostess option – now through the end of December.  Looks like a ton of fun, and I'm all over the punches for use far beyond the holiday season!  I will definitely be getting THIS collection; contact me to schedule YOUR party so you can get yours, too!

Yep!  You can.  And it's really, really easy, too.  Probably takes less than a minute.  Here's how:

Start by visiting my website.  You DO remember the name of my website, right? Ok, here's a reminder:

www.StamptheRock.com

Then look just under the banner for a bunch of links (currently showing in pink or red, but colors are always subject to change with my whim, of course).  Locate and click this one:

Now you'll see all my upcoming regular classes that are available to register for, so just click on the one you've got in mind.  (Be sure to choose the one with the correct class title & date, of course.) As you make your selection you'll be asked for a password, but don't panic….. I've made it real easy for you 'cuz it's just the word:

Stamp

(And I don't even think it matters whether you capitalize it, although the system would probably want it spelled correctly, lol.)

So from there you'll look for a session that still shows a "Sign Up" button attached- and after you input your name & email address you'll be able to see your name added to the attendance list for that session – and you're done!  Easy-peasy! 

And if ever you need to confirm which session you're signed up for you can go view the attendance list again through that exact same link under my website banner.

Now if a session already has 6 names showing and does not show a "Sign Up" button, it means that session is already pretty full and I recommend you look for another session to join. 

But if you simply cannot attend another session, please feel free to contact me and plead your case.  If it's still far enough in advance that I can shuffle tables and chairs and ensure enough supplies on hand, I might still be able to accomodate you – or at least put you on a wait list in case someone else has to cancel.

So come join us for one of our 3 monthly sessions of Card Class – and/or my 2 monthly sessions of Crafting Adventures!

What an AMAZING adventure it was to log onto the Stampin' Up!® demonstrator website this morning and read all about what October has in store for their fans! 

I'd already known about some of the news in advance and have been previewing a couple things at my workshops and classes recently (like October's "Buy 2 Simply Sent kits and get one of the coordinating stamp sets for free" customer special)…….

and today's debut of the anxiously-awaited Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps. Download the Cookie Stamps PDF flyer here.  Your stamps will include instructions and even a couple of recipes that have been tested and work well.  You can order your cookie stamps at my online store – or with a regular order at any time.
  

But by far the news that I know is going to generate the BIGGEST buzz this month is the FREE BIG SHOT offer!  Yes, you read that right! Get a FREE BIG SHOT (or up to $100 of dies for free, if you already own a Big Shot) when you join my Sea to Sea Stampers team in October! And what could possibly be a better time of year to join us, than right when we're gearing up for the holidays anyway?!

And the good news this morning just seems to roll on and on…..

Beginning on Monday, Oct. 3 (and just in time for your Christmas cards) you'll be able to get bulk pricing on our professional print services for your MDS-designed cards, tags and swatchbooks, so duplicates of your holiday cards will cost you even less this year!  See the new bulk-pricing sheet here.

And *also* beginning on Monday (Oct. 3) and running only through the end of the year we'll be offering an extra-special, limited-edition hostess-only item: An MDS Content CD featuring a gazillion (translation: "many, many, many") fun elements for your My Digital Studio software including: 36 stamp brush images, 10 Designers Series Papers, 8 embellishments, 4 punches, 3 designer card templates, and 20 decor template pages which you can use to make paper gift bows, banners, mini boxes, treat labels & more. 

(And somehow I feel like I'm supposed to conclude this lengthy list with the words, "and a PARtridge in a pear tree"…. although the flyer doesn't actually say that, lol.)  Anyway, as a Stampin' Up! hostess during the upcoming holiday season you'll be able to choose this fun & generous Savor the Season content CD ($26.95 value) for only $16 hostess dollars! 

Download the flyer that shows some of what you can make with the Savor the Season Ensemble Content CD here.

And that's not ALL the announcements we found awaiting us this morning.  There was plenty of other fun stuff specifically of interest to demonstrators, too.  But there's no need to post that here; if you decide to join our demonstrator family (and claim your $100-worth of FREE BIG SHOT stuff), then you'll be able to read all about the other cool news of the day yourself!   🙂
