Thanks for coming back to Day 7 of my challenge. If you have missed any posts this past week I invite you to catch up what I have been posting for the last 7 days. Variety of topics and I hope you enjoy them all.
I used to do this type of post on Sundays but it has been a long time.
It goes with what I am grateful today. That is my faith! As I have shared this week about some losses in my family goes hand in hand with today’s thoughts. Without my faith loosing my dad and then loosing one of my brothers so soon after it would have made me bitter. I have always believed things happen for a reason.
I turn to music a lot to help me get thru some hard times for myself or family and friends going thru something. This particular song has helped me personally so many times. I remember singing it to my brother in February and it was such a special time for us that day. I was singing thru my tears.
Next week come back and I will be sharing my story on how I began making cards!
Also next week going to share some fun pictures from some awesome trips I have went on just by sharing my passion with others and inspiring my team as much as I can to share their passion too!
Today I am grateful for the cooler mornings here in Tucson to take my dog to the dog park before it gets too hot. Funny story yesterday I shut my door and realized I had the mail key instead of my house key. Thankful my son and daughter in law live very close and was able to walk and get his key so I could get back inside. It was already hot by then. No walk to the park. I made it up to Meeko today though. It was great to enjoy the weather and we both got exercise.
Today to inspire you I am sharing this beautiful card from a fellow demonstrator!
Come back tomorrow to see what I post about.
Thanks!
Today I am grateful for my Facebook group I created two years ago. We have lots of fun and I love inspiring them with cards, ideas, tips and lots more. Join us and feel free to add your color challenge card after you join us!
Welcome back to day five of my long month challenge.
Grateful today for my supportive friends. My friends always know what to say to keep encouraging me with my business. I get the support from my friends that are not my customers too. When my friends come across someone looking to get into card making or memory keeping they send them my way. I love that and really appreciate that! I love sharing how fun it is!
Today was a good day at my networking meeting. Seeing and catching up with friends there. Been a long time I was there last. Yesterdays blog post with the blog hop I shared a little about my brother and his short battle with cancer. I brought a card I had made for him at a networking meeting and everyone that was in attendance signed it and I mailed it out. When I went back for my brothers funeral my niece showed me the card. I opened it up and saw all the names again. Many other friends sent him cards too. I also saw those and that was a special time to read all your cards. I know he loved them all!
So, as you can tell card making is so much more than just stamping a card.
Come back tomorrow for my Friday weekly color challenge.
Woo Hoo it’s the first Wednesday of the month you know what that means RIGHT?
ICS Blog hop time! Our theme this month is Colors of Courage.
This theme was a tough one for so many of us on the team. Cancer hits so many of us.
Personally my family has had some losses due to cancer. My brother Joe who was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma on Jan 25, 2017. What a shock and so unexpected when we found out. Thought he might be having a stroke and being told its cancer. When he found out it had already spread to his brain. I was blessed to go and help him for two weeks in Feb in Kansas. Was part of his support system as he was facing treatments that included radiation. It was so hard to see him like that. We had some special times while I was there that I will cherish forever.
He was a fighter and was determined to live. Sad to say less than four months his fight was over on May 20.
Welcome back to day four of my long month challenge.
Today I am grateful for my stamping team. I have a team called D’S Stamping Team USA. I have some in locally as well as thru out the USA. When I came up with my name I already had some team members that aren’t local to me
I try to inspire them and encourage them all I can.
If you saw yesterdays post you read about the loss of two family members of mine in such a short time. My team was patient with me and understood that I needed to time to heal. I feel so blessed with my present team members and ones that have pursued other ventures. Everyone one of them has touched or are touching my life and inspire me to keep doing what I love! My current and past team has helped me earn my last two incentive trips due to their hard work and efforts.
There so many reasons to join right now. As a current demonstrator or you can choose these in your starter kit are these brand new Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. We used to have a similiar product and their were so issues with those.
These are new and improved and the issues have been addressed and are now ready to try them out! There only available to demonstrators and just for a short time October 15th is the last day to order them.
There is no release date as of yet for customers to be able to purchase. I will keep you informed of the release date as soon as I know!
I invite you to sign up for my email updates that can be found on the right hand side at the top of my blog to keep informed of further details as well as when I post on my blog.
Thanks for stopping by!
Make it a creative Wednesday!
