Sailing Away (from Hurricane Milton)

Today I am flying from St Louis, Mo to Orlando to meet friends from Arizona, Georgia and New Mexico. We are sailing on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines "Adventure of the Seas" into the Southern Caribbean.  When I tell you the effort to get there was more stress than I've had in a while, that's an understatement. Due to Hurricane Milton slamming the state of Florida, most of our flights were cancelled and no other flights were available for me.  I had to change from American Airlines to Southwest and drive 2 hours into St Louis to catch that flight.  I am so blessed to have two friends that offered to drive me to the airport in St Louis.  Thank you Debbie and Brad ! 

This cruise has been planned for over a year.  We are sailing with 60 other stampers and Patty Bennett, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator from California.  Her website is Patty Stamps - Patty Bennett, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1995 and let me tell you, she's amazing! I met Patty a few years ago at my first Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. She's so gracious and friendly.  It will be a pleasure to craft and dine with her and her family.  Of course, there are plenty more other people we will meet, and we are all looking forward to having a blast.  

While I'm away, our sailing days will be packed with plenty to do. I won't have internet access until my feet are planted on the ground, so if you need to reach me by phone or text, please leave me a message and I will return your call when I'm on shore.  If you have questions about joining, I will be returning on October 20th, in plenty of time to help you.  Don't forget!  You can join my team this month and choose $ 155 in product for just $ 99!  Check it all out on the JOIN link on right side-bar.

I thought I would share a couple of cards I recently made using some of our kits.  Our kits are on sale this month, so if you like any of these, be sure to place your orders and use my host code (shown on the right) at checkout.  I want you to get a FREE GIFT from me so be sure to use that host code.

These are just a few of the kits we offer.  Did you know that you can stretch your kit to make more cards than the kit calls for?  If your card bases have a design on the front and back, just cut those in half or to a 4 x 5-1/4 size and adhere them to card bases you can make from supplies you have on hand.  With a stamp set, a few embellishments and stretching your kit, it becomes an even better value! There's always supplies left over in our kits, so it's easy to stretch that kit into something more.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Check out the online catalogs on the right-side bar and be sure to check out our Online Exclusives and Kits section in my online store.

I'm off to the sea!
