Had April Classes middle of the month then cut some of my Busy Bee Bag before I left for …Incentive Trip to Mexico* (having to stay up until 1 am on one day to do orders on May 1st)…Product waiting for me when I got home…home three days with two doctor appointments, bloodwork and a 1-1/2 hour test- (ugh- say a”no” to a Urodynamic test if you are offered one- hahaha)… cut as much paper, ribbon, and embellishments as I could in those three days before leaving for a three day wedding in NC for my daughter’s best childhood friend and our second family…home one day to prep for my classes (yep, I cut and packaged about 175 kits Saturday night and Sunday morning before and after church until 11 pm. So grateful to have fit in a lovely Mother’s Day dinner with all my kids, grandies, and my son-in-law’s mother…went home to pack up and headed to Pittsburgh on Monday for my happy days of stamping classes on Wednesday and Thursday- it is all worth it to be with the girls!!! Had to leave a day earlier than expected since My hubby was traveing with me on business so I warned my gracious hosts before I left that Hurricane Cindy was on it’s way and to clear off the dining room table so I could sort and package! Gotta love this wonderfully crazy life! Product Shares and Busy Bee Bags go out as scheduled on Saturday! WooHoo! Don’t forget to sign up for the June 2024 Busy Bee Bag- I have great plans!

And, do you really care how busy it has been, we all are busy, right??? LOL…just wanted to let you know why I don’t have a video today…and wanted to say “Thank You, Jesus for helping me get everything done!!!” And thank you for listening (reading)…only you can appreciate it!

*Only 1% of demonstrators earn the Incentive Trip

So…instead of my video…how about some great videos Stampin’ UP! has done with fun new products!!!!

And a few new kits…

and this fun one that is not available right now but is worth the wait…

The June 2024 Busy Bee Bag registration

will be from May 13 to June 1, 2024.

I will be using the NEW Elegant Tag Punch and the Simple Sayings Stamp Set

in the NEW Stampin’ UP! Catalog. You can see a sample of these items of this on page.

If it is not available for some reason, we will quickly pivot…

But you can use ANY stamp set and dies you have with my kits!

I work hard to create kits that can use other products if you want to…

and as always…

You can substitute a different stamp set. I will mail your substitution item with the Busy Bee Bag. If something is not available at the time of ordering on May 1st, I will contact you. For substitutions, I will invoice the extra amount or refund if the stamp set or die substitutions are slightly over or under:)

Each BUSY BEE BAG will include at least $20- $25 worth of product in addition to the 8 card kits (2 each of 4 designs) in a reusable bag for storing/organizing. You will be surprised to get DSPs, ribbons, embellishments and/or other great products in your bag- way more than you will use for your products- so you have leftovers to use on other things.

Stamped images and stamp sets are not included but you can add the featured stamp set/dies/bundle to be sent with your BUSY BEE BAG with no shipping added for the featured stamp set/bundle/dies! You can even substitute equal value items! That is…a bundle for a bundle, a stamp for a stamp, die set for a die set etc. and I will pay the shipping on that stamp set/die/bundle and include it in your March 2024 Busy Bee Bag!

REMEMBER…you can use the card kits with any stamp set you have!
