I have almost finished the class example for the March class... Rotated "Everyday Moments". I just wanted to share & tease you a little. Each page is different, I still have a few more things to add , but here is a sneak peek. Now off to start my mass production kit process, I have lots of stamping and punching to do......
enjoy!!
I have something to share with you about Stampin' Up....some good, some not so good. I will start with the bad news first. As we all know that gas prices have gone up drastically, which means UPS shipping rates have gone up too. Now it is seems to be effecting everyone.
Bad News: Starting April 1st, Stampin' Up is going to raise their shipping rates from $3.95 or 10% of your order (which one is greater) to $6.95 or 10% of your order (which one is greater) So what that means, is you almost have to order a $69.50 order to make the shipping worth your while so you only pay 10% of your merchandise order total for the shipping, if not you will be spending $6.95 shipping on an order smaller than $69.50.
Good News: Starting in April 2008, you can use your debit card or your credit card to purchase Stampin' Up merchandise through your demonstrator. They are finally going to accept credit card payments!!
Below is the Shipping notice straight from Stampin Up
Minimum Shipping Price Increased
March 3, 2008
As you've heard by now, we're raising our shipping prices. This is a move we've postponed as long as we possibly could, but with rising prices affecting almost every aspect of doing business in today's world, we finally had to.
We considered several different options, and after gathering input from many sources, including the Advisory Board, we choose a strategy that was very simple and straightforward--we simply upped our minimum shipping price to $6.95. Other options included tiered levels of increases based on the size of the orders, and frankly, most people we talked to felt those options were difficult to understand and complicated to implement. Since the end result was the same for all options, we went with what everyone felt was the most simple approach.
Keep in mind that this increase won't affect your workshop orders; nothing will change for your workshop customers! We feel strongly that workshops are the heart of our business, where relationships are made and strengthened, and where you reinforce your value as an expert your customers can rely on as they express their creativity. The increase will affect orders placed outside the workshop environment, including your own supply orders.
We know this news isn't welcome--and we wish we didn't have to do it. But we also know that you understand the costs associated with doing business. We thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your support.
Last week Madison had 3 teeth that were very wiggly and ready to come out. She lost her bottom one that was loose last Thursday 2/28/08. I knew the other two top teeth were going to also come out any day. She has been wiggling them a lot to try and get them out. Yesterday in the bathtub I felt one of her top teeth and it was literately just hanging there so I pulled on it and it came out! She was so excited!! Now all we had to do was keep wiggling the other top tooth because it was the only one left that was loose. I thought it would last another day or two. At school today 3/04/08 she was sent to the clinic and the Nurse pulled it out. As you can tell the "Tooth Fairy" has been very busy at Jack Flash Lane. :)
Before...just one tooth on bottom After...all three missing

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance -- particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NASCAR3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed, Desperate

Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'I Thought You Loved Me.exe', try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 It runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources. Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck, Tech Support
