Happy Monday to you my fine friends. Today I have a fun new way to stamp! You all have to try this at least once…but make sure your colour combos are solid. Meaning, scribble your 5 colours out on a scrap so you can really see how they work together. Watch the video for a little instruction on this. Have yourself a great day!

Hi crew. I am starting to be able to craft a little bit. It is filling my heart with joy and for that I am grateful. That being said, I can only do so much and I am still a far bit away from being normal (we all knew that right) and things take so much longer to accomplish when one has to stop to put the affected appendage above the heart with ice etc. So, I did have time to create but not to edit, so I have to work in little bite size times or else I really pay for it. I hope you don’t mind that I am a bit late. I am aiming for normalcy but it’s taking a while to get there.

This is the card I made for today. I hope you like the design and it’s almost Valentines day! I hope you have a lovely day and I will try to have something timely for you on Friday. I am working on the content for my lovely VIP’s right now. Read the blurb under the photo and request to join if you qualify.

Hi friends.

Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know what’s been going on. On January 15 I had a wee surgery on my knee. I choose January because typically it’s a slower month at the salon. My surgeon told me that sometimes people return to work after 3 days. Sadly this was not my case. The surgery was an hour long instead of 30 minutes that was suggested and it was a little more complicated than anticipated. That being said, I had a week off of work at the salon. I went back to work the next week and realized very quickly that I was not healing as quickly as anticipated. This week I have had to shorten my work hours to a maximum of 4 (which is really hard for me as I do not have the finances to work part time). I also had to reduce the time that I am to be driving as well. This wee surgery has had a large impact in my life and things are more than a little out of wack.

In short, it’s very difficult for me to sit at the craft desk for any length of time so it’s now impacting my Stampin’ Up! business too. It really breaks my heart and I wish I had made more content a head of time so I could just edit and post but sadly I did not make 3 weeks of content a head of time. I am doing my best but I am putting my health first and please know that I am thinking of you and really wish I could do more.

So what this means is that:

There will not be a paper pumpkin alternative video this month (it’s impossible) however my customers will get the tutorial bundle this month
I will be taking the rest of this week off from creating content for the blog and YouTube channel and hopefully will have short spurts at the craft desk over the weekend.
On Feb 1 I will do a Facebook Live video on the SuNN Social VIP for giveaways!!! If you have shopped with me for the November, December or January you are entered to win.
The Butterfly Abounds Online Class will be carried over to February as our planned online class using the Piece of Cake bundle will be moved to March as the products are on back order from Stampin’ Up!
Monthly Card kit how to video will air next week but the host code is live now. However, I still have January’s kit and will send them until the video for the new one is posted.
Diva Day for my team is postponed until March (sorry team…I tried)
Local class was cancelled for this month…next class scheduled for Sunday, Feb 24 at 1 pm

One last thing, there will be a new release of Saleabration products on February 15 and they are not to be missed. I do hope you will still consider doing business with me even though I am a little quite here on the internet. I do very much appreciate your business and will strive to hard to recover quickly so I can get back to the craft desk.

As much as I would like to keep the momentum up with my crafty business it’s literally impossible and I very much appreciate your patience and understanding. Please know that as soon as I can I will have content to inspire you.

Thank you for your time,

Susanne

Hey there. I thank you for popping by. I am trying very hard to be consistent but it is a little difficult with this swollen knee. It only feels good when it’s up in the air above so as much as I would like to chatter away at you today I will just post the picture, the video and say please consider me as your demonstrator when you shop with Stampin’ Up!
