Hi!
Well, I know it's been a week!!! Sheesh where does the time go? I spent most of last week enjoying my last few days of summer with my two adorable girls! We went back to school shopping on Tuesday and Wednesday and I had a very fun & productive meeting with Diana and Marlene on Friday as we planned the details of our upcoming September to Remember Stamping Event! Next thing you know the last weekend of summer (well not summer weather-wise in sunny HOT arizona, but back to school summer-wise) was over and it was time to send the girls off to the 1st day of school. Rachel in 8th grade and Nicole in 11th grade ... !! yikes
We had a very nice meeting last week and it was great to be surrounded by long time stamping friends and downline and to meet new members too & too welcome back long-timers that have rejoined recently!
For the meeting, here's what I did to get ready! I decided to show the new stamps and products that I purchased with my 1st order from the new catalog. Several ribbons but not all of them, only a few new DSPs, earned a few new hostess sets plus our pre-order buys too, and there's some awesome new punches too!
I always set up a table at the "post-convention" meeting to show what we received at convention, our make-n-takes, momento mall items, and I even got all of my swaps cards (that fit) up on my display boards too!

these are the sets and make-n-takes
momento mall items we could purchase
And for this meeting I typically have a passdown of information that was shared at convention but since there were not any huge annoucements, we had more free time! So I planned a make-n-take and a simple door prize question to go with it ... just to add a bit of business in there too!
This is a "simple but cute" totally demonstratable card for a workshop, class, open house or any other event! It is a 4"x4" square card and features new products like -- in color poly twill ribbon! new larger scallop circle punch! new Greenhouse Gala designer series paper! new L1 Hostess stamp set! and some new colors from the Color Rennovation!
For the door prize, I asked a business question - - - "how much does this card cost to make"? Our lucky winner was a brand new demonstrator (hey Kitty!) who was attending her very first team meeting! Most everyone guessed way under the actual price and only a few were over. It was actually kind of funny because everyone knows that I do the "math" for all of our large group events to make sure we stay on budget and so it was funny to see who could "approximate" on the spot! I hope they enjoyed a peek into my brainy side .. but hopefully it also helped them to see that cards can be quite affordable!
So are you wondering? What's your guess? Leave me a comment!!
Happy Stamping, see you again tomorrow!
Rhonda











I hope this is not too low but I was thinking around .60 for each card to be made..
