Hi Stampers,
Happy Sunday friends !
I have lots of goodies for you today! I love giving FREE goodies away.
We are Celebrating with BLOG candy since earning the 2016 Mediterranean Cruise with Stampin Up! yesterday .
I am so excited and I want to send a BIG thank you to all my Fabulous Customers and Amazing team who helped make this possible.
Today's blog candy :
I will draw 3 names to win 1 of the 3 Blog candies posted and Tuesday Blog Post I will post the names of the names drawn for the blog candy .
P.S I have a separate Blog Candy over on my Face book business page HERE . All you need to do is just leave me a comment over there if you want to get in on that drawing too .
That name will be drawn and posted over there on Tuesday also.
Another HUGE milestone is coming .
I'm really close to hitting my career sales milestone of
1 million.
I have something pretty awesome for the person who places the Million dollar order.
The Million dollar order is the one that places an order and pushes me over the Million in sales .
I will keep you all updated … That's if I am not in the Hospital getting my new hip when it happens . Wouldn't that be a HOOT!
Thank you all for picking me to be your SU! demonstrator .
Yesterday we took a Harley ride to see Jessie and Pat got to spend the evening with them and the doggies . Bao is 1 year old now and he is so big and so strong look how cute he is.
Jessie cut my hair and we then went to dinner . Jessie also found this Big Daddy sign how perfect! LOVE IT!
Happy to report I ended up finishing my Founders Circle swaps all 113 of them and they are on their way to my friend Sharon's home.
Update : When I filmed my Founders Circle swaps video which I will be posting next week~ We were told at that time we should plan on around 125 swaps BUT the count has changed to 113 .
Sharon will be swapping them for me since I will not be attending this years Founders Circle event .
The awesome thing is that Stampin' Up! is allowing those of us that can't attend still take part of the awesome swap, We just have to have someone to swap them for us ….
Plus SU! will send all of us that can't attend, the amazing pillow gifts they give us at Founders !
Seriously as sad as I am that I will be missing all the fun at Founders and seeing all my friends, I had planned my surgery for this time on purpose .
I knew in my heart my hip / pain I was not going to be able to go even if I wasn't having surgery you see one of the BIGGEST event's that happens at Founders is visiting Knab and visiting with all the empolyees that make our fabulous stamps and it's a ALL day event with a very long bus ride there and back.
PLUS a behind the scenes tour of making the stamps and with my hip and the pain I am having, I knew I wasn't going to be going even If I couldn't get the surgery done at this time ….
BUT Praise God I got my surgery scheduled for the day before Founders Circle starts and PLUS I wouldn't have to be looking at all the photos of the fun I was missing on face book since I will be so "out of it" after surgery and focusing on my hip and getting home.
My surgery is a week from this Tuesday & my doctor says I should be home on Thursday or Friday . The surgery is about 1 1/2 hours it's that AMAZING?
That's a lot shorter time then last years femur surgery which was over 8 hours.
I do have videos lined up for when I am recovering and also blog posts all pre scheduled . I would really appreciate all your prayers.
From everything I have been hearing from so many of you the hip is alot easier than the knees and well lets face it ~ I have the knees down pat .
I am really looking forward to walking without pain and without the cane again.
Not sure if you all remember that I am a big Elvis fan and I am not alone with sweet Ella. She is soooo cute!
Have a wonderful Sunday friends !
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
Praying you have a speedy recovery! God bless!!!
