Blue Mountain Stampers’ Retreat

This past weekend I held my second annual Blue Mountain Stampers’ Retreat for my Team. This is a fun and laid back event that allows us to get together and have fun and time together as a team.

Here is my classroom set up as we unloaded the cars. I forgot to take one before everyone started arriving, as usual. LOL

Blue Mountain Stampers Weekend Retreat  June 2014 (2)

We stamped and scrapped until the wee hours in the morning.  It’s like a big slumber party! I love the sharing of ideas and projects during these retreats. My goal – Make ‘n Takes for my Luau Catalog Launch Party on June 21st and designing my convention swaps for July.

Here is a picture of some of us Saturday afternoon – even Larry came down for a few minutes to hang out and see what we were up to!

Do you love to learn new things?

Then my Technique Classes may be just your thing. Classes are held once a month on the 4th Tuesday. My Technique Classes not only allows you to learn a new technique each month, they also include both a handy reference card to keep, along with the card using that month’s technique that you can give to someone.

Today’s card is one that I made for my brother’s birthday yesterday, but it uses the same technique you’ll be learning in this month’s class.

Giveaways will be posted randomly on my facebook, YouTube , Pinterest, Twitter and on my Blog and will continue until the deadline of May 17th. (This will give me enough time to complie names so that they can be announced the day of my Retirement Party on May 18th!)

I’m going to give you lots of ways to play along and win! I want everyone to have fun helping me spread the work about my Retirement Party which is FREE!

Here’s how you can enter ANY of my Retirement Party Giveaways:

I’ll be gathering up everything and choosing winners randomly from all the comments and shares in those places. The more you participate the more entries you’ll receive!

fine print: everyone is welcome to play along, however, fellow demonstrators won’t be included in the drawing.

Retirement Stamp Contest – What’s Your Best Guess?

Retirement Image-001

On Monday, April 21st this year’s Retirement List will be announced.  And for the first time ever Stamps and Accessories are only while supplies last – that’s big, really big!

There is always a lot of speculation as to what stamp sets will be on the Retirement List, and since everyone seemed to have fun participating in my contest last year  I thought why not do it again. And of course you need a prizes for it to be a contest, right?

So this year everyone who participates in my Retirement Contest will receive a FREE Tutorial from me for a great project! And the person who guesses the most stamp sets correct will receive a special prize!

Sound like fun? Want to play along? Well there is only one way to test yourself and see how you stack up. Are you ready to challenge yourself and your stamping friends and play along?

Well here are the details:

  • Make a list of the top 10 stamp sets that you think are retiring from the 2013 Annual Catalog. Then add one more in case I need a tie breaker.
  • Send me an email – subject line Retirement Party Contest (to StampwithJini@gmail.com)
  • Include your name, address, and phone number (I’ll need these if you are the winner so I can get your prize to you!) along with your list
  • Email me your list by 9 pm Saturday, April 19th
  • Late entries will not be included

Then sit back and wait for the Retirement List…. It’s coming on Monday, April 21st.

Want a list sent right to your mailbox? If you’re not on my mailing list why not sign up now? You’ll find my sign up box for my Newsletter at the top right hand corner right here on my blog – And you’ll receive a FREE gift when you do – a free pinwheel tutorial just for you!

But for now – Save the date, Sunday, May 18th, for my 2014 Retirement Party! More details will be coming soon.  We’ll have to say goodbye to our old favorites, but we’ll be welcoming new goodies too, such as the exclusive Stampin’ Up! Project Life line.

Have fun going through the catalog – and don’t forget to make your wish list so you can order your favorites before they are gone!

fine print:

Hostess Appreciation Brunch

This past weekend I held my Annual Hostess Appreciation Brunch – I love to say thank you to my Hostesses with a little pampering and a special project. After all I couldn’t do this without you!

Today I wanted to share with you a couple of pictures from the Brunch.

This first picture is of the brunch table.

Hostess Appreciation Brunch 2014 food table

I made one of my newest favorite recipes – Greek Chicken & Artichoke Flatbread. It’s so easy to put together and yummy I thought I would share the recipe with you.

Greek Chicken & Artichoke Flatbread

1 pkg. (11 or 13.8 oz.) refrigerated thin crust pizza crust

1 1/2 c. fresh parsley leaves, divided

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1 tsp. lemon zest

1 jar (12) marinated artichokes, drained

1 tbsp. olive oil

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

4 oz. feta cheese, divided

8 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated

2 c. diced cooked chicken breast

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush large bar pan with oil. Unroll pizza crust onto pan and press to edges. Bake on lowest oven rack 17-20 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Coarsely process 1/2 c. parsley in food processor, remove and set aside for garnish. Add remaining parsley and garlic to processor; process until finely chopped.

Add lemon zest, artichokes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the feta to processor; process until coarsely chopped.

Combine half of the mozzarella, artichoke mixture and chicken; mix well. Microwave, uncovered, on High 1 – 2 minutes or until hot, stirring once.

Sprinkle cooling crust with remaining mozzarella. Top with chicken mixture; spread to edges. Cut flatbread into 16 squares. Crumble remaining feta over top and sprinkle with reserved parsley. Serve.

And here is another of Shirley working on her project.

Hostess Appreciation Brunch 2014 Shirley

Everyone who attended made a gift set of cards using one of our Sale-a-bration stamp sets.

Would you like to be pampered too? It’s easy to become one of my Hostesses – Just hold a party for you and your friends. Or qualify for Hostess Benefits when you place an individual order.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing with you the little treat items that I made for everyone. I’ll be filming a quick video tutorial for them later today to share with you.
