Downline Meeting Share Table

At our quarterly downline meetings we always have a share table where demonstrators can put out samples from classes, our personal to share with the group.  Wanted to share a few things that were shared at the last meeting.  I've given credit to who shared below the picture - but please forgive me (and let me know) if I put the wrong person.  I think in the future I'll put out little tags for them to put their names out, in case I can't confirm.  But I always love what they bring to share -

Boxes made by Karen Olson to show some of the sizes.

This final sample was made by 4 year old Amelia - daughter of Sarah Neill - Amelia aspires to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - and from the looks of things she's gonna be very successful.

Here is Elaine's with her adorable tissue holder from Christel, using our Storytime paper.

Heidi's is a Secret Sister gift so a bit more - Julie made her this great apron in a jar using our SU fabrics - how cute is that!

Here is Karen's great Secret Sister gift from Lois - it's a pot with paperwhite bulbs in it for the holidays - and a set of our adorable SU ornaments from Convention.  Karen was not able to make it, so wasn't able to be in the picture.

Secret Sister Gifts

Last Saturday was my First Downline Appreciation lunch.  It wasn't our regular secret sister month - so I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple gifts had been delivered to my front porch.  The first one was for Karen from her Secret Sis - this adorable recipe box filled with stamped recipe cards, and divider tabs.  The picture did not come out that great because it was still in the plastic.  But so cute.

 Second was this cute bag and card for Lois from her Secret Sis -

 Inside was this cute magnet board with button magnets.  Just look how happy it is :) 

  See you all soon for some more stamping fun!! ~Maureen
