HAPPY MAIL OR A QUICK TEXT

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so----


There are two pieces of mail in this stack that makes me want to stop what I am doing and open them.  If you guessed the bills you are wrong. 
Something about a note or card in the mail is special.  A text or message on line is important too and has it's place in our lives.  Everybody is busy, and our time gets away from us,  You have to make time to encourage others, but the rewards are so great for both the sender and the receiver.  A birthday card, sympathy card, get well, or just thinking of you card can make those bills a little easier to handle.  Some notes are more difficult to write. Just a line or two to express you thought of their situation is all that is needed to send comfort.  
I would like to think that my Stamp & Scrappers out there didn't make cards to just make themselves happy (even though that is always a byproduct), but rather to make someone else have a happier day.

If you have never made cards and would like to learn, I do offer a beginning stamping class.  The rewards are many--.  Making great friends is one of the benefits of stamping groups.  Message or contact me for information on my classes and workshops.  I would love to have you as another member of the Stamp & Scrappers.

Happy Stamping,

Don't forget your Valentine





Hallmark isn't the only one who can make cards.  Bet you can too--
This set shown is from Stampin Up's Occasion catalog.  It is called "Sealed with Love". 
See how just a wrap of paper around a piece of chocolate makes it so much more.  
And don't forget that just a touch of color, glimmer and ribbon finishes the gift.
To all my stamping friends---Have a Happy Valentine's Day! 
  Always tell the ones you love that you love them.

There are just Some People----




that we need to send a special card to.  Even people that always seem to be on top of the world have days that they need encouragement.  Life gets to everyone.  Think of someone that you would never think needs encouragement and send them a card.  You just might make their day!  

Happy Stamping!

Hey Chicks, February Workshop is Coming!





In our next workshop we are going to get a jump on Easter.  I know, it's not Valentines Day yet, but by our February 18th workshop that will be history and we will be looking for spring!  I am already.  We already have many ladies booked to attend the morning or afternoon session.  I have one more opening in the afternoon, and a couple in the morning.  Let me know if you are interested.  The cost is $10.00. 
SPOILER ALERT:     We are each making one of these adorable egg cartons to fill with surprises for someone special.  Message me for details.

I hope you are all having a great week.  Stay well in this flu season, and remember those who are under the weather with a card.  Keep some on hand to send.

Happy Stamping,
Dixie Sue
