This is a test. Am I a Left Brain or a Right Brain woman? Don't think too hard, okay?
It's really no surprise that I am a Right Brain woman. Now, here's my confession. Sometimes I don't pay close attention to numbers. Other times I do. Well, I certainly didn't realize until this afternoon, that I should have been paying attention to my sales numbers this month. Now is when I begin to silently berate myself, roll my eyes, shake my head, sigh and swear that this will never happen again.
I'm embarrassed. I'm humbled. But I've decided to just be honest and tell you that I hope some of you haven't purchased all you have on your Wish List. Sale-a-Bration will be over on March 31. My sales for March are short $564.11. If I get the sales I need, I will qualify for a bonus from Stampin' Up!, which would help with my expenses to attend Convention this summer.
If you feel compelled to help me out, I would appreciate it. You can order directly from my 24/7 store by clicking here. Or you can email me your order at stillstamping@yahoo.com. If you want to call me and leave a message for me at 763-755-7331 or 763-229-9844, I would be grateful!! All orders need to be placed by 11:50 p.m., on Saturday, March 31, 2012.
I'm done lashing myself with a wet noodle. Thanks blogging friends for "listening"!!!
Today, I have a great video to show you by Shannon West, from Stampin' Up!
"Give some dimension to your next papercrafting project using the quilling technique! The supplies are minimal, but the end result really turns some heads."

Shannon used the 126154 Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. It is one of the freebies that you can select FREE when you place a $50 order.
2 each of 6 double-sided designs 12" x 12" designer paper. Coordinating colours are: Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Peach Parfait, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla, and Soft Suede. The Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper is my ALL TIME favorite designer paper. I will be sad to see it gone after March 31, 2012.
There is magazine called Your Good House that comes with the Good Housekeeping magazine. I usually don't find anything particularly interesting in the supplement. But this month, as I was paging through it, I was intrigued by what is considered the "Hot Colors". Out of curiosity, I continued to read the article.
Eggplant & Olive Green – Stampin' Up!'s Elegant Eggplant & Old Olive
125672 Packed for Baby stamp set
Flame & Slate – Stampin' Up!'s Tangerine Tango & Not Quite Navy
125746 Packed for Birthday stamp set
Cherry Red & Pear Green – Stampin' Up!'s Cherry Cobbler & Pear Pizzazz
125450 Packed for Mom stamp set
It was nice to see that Stampin' Up!'s colors are with the current trends. It was fun making these cards using different color combinations than I would usually choose. Plus, I wanted to use the 127337 Packed for Everything Stamp Bundle that I had just ordered. Sweet that it has the four stamps in it and there were four new hot color combinations. That worked out quite nicely, wouldn't you agree? You can purchase the four "Packed for ___" stamps individually for $9.95 each. Or you can purchase the 127337 Packed for Everything Stamp Bundle of all four stamps for $29.95; a discount of 25%. These stamps and bundle are available in the Occasions Mini Catalog until April 30, 2012.
Here is the loot that I brought home from Leadership.
The red box in the upper left-hand corner was filled with a cellophane bag with three different kinds of handmade candy inside. And the candy was made by a Stampin' Up! employee. I wonder where that candy went?
I loved the Leadership purse that I got last year. So I was curious what we would get this year. Stampin' Up! never disappoints me. This year's bag was made with fabric that will be available in an upcoming catalog. AND, it is FOUR bags in ONE! So cool!
Isn't' this just adorable?
I unbuttoned the bottom piece and turned it inside out and buttoned it back on the purse.
I took the bottom piece off.
I turned the bag inside out.
At the Make & Take session, everyone received this fabric notebook cover.
Shelli Gardner hand signed all 1,400 tags for the Leadership attendees in matching ink. It is all about personalizing and details with Shelli. The tags were made with My Digital Studio to match the fabric. To bling up the tag, they added 119246 Basic Rhinestone Jewels and 119247 Basic Pearl Jewels. They could have just tied the tag with the 117286 5/8" Real Red Satin Ribbon, but they added a 121012 Clear Crystal Simply Adorned Bauble.
Here is the notebook cover completely opened. I put cardstock in each pocket so you can see all the places to store things. I will be even more organized now!
I sure felt spoiled and loved all the gifts that I got from Leadership. I left Leadership feeling very appreciated by Stampin' Up!
