Julie and Julia

Since I've seen the movie Julie and Julia, I am on a mission to make or bake something new each week.  I love all the  recipes in the Spring/Summer Dove Chocolate Discoveries Entertaining Guide.  I made the dreamsicle delight few weeks ago.  I substituted the heavy cream with vanilla yogurt.  It was yummy!  The perfect summer drink! My goal for the month is to try the recipes in the new Fall/Winter Entertaining Guide plus some of our new products. My next item to try is our new mudslide chocolatini.

Work in Progress

Work in progress...I am working on wedding invitations, save the date cards, bridal invitations, and RSVP cards

I will be participating in the Queen Mary Bridal Show this Sunday and will represent Dove Chocolate Discoveries. If you're in the area or know someone getting married, please stop by my booth and enter to win a door prize. If anyone books and holds a show with at least $200 in sales, they will receive a FREE chocolate martini mix plus the hostess rewards and their guests will receive 10% off their orders. This offer is good through me only.

Working on New Projects

The past month and a half has been really crazy. My son went on a missionary trip to Panama with some of the high schoolers at his church. He had a blast. Then within the past two weeks, my father-in-law passed away from lung cancer which mestatisized to his brain, we found out my mother-in-law has lung cancer, and a relative passed away from a stroke. I haven't done any stamping in a while. So, needless to say, I need to stamp to take my mind off of everything. I am working on some wedding invitations, save the date cards, and some other cool things.

Stampin' Up! convention is coming up soon so stay tuned for some new ideas. I can't wait. I am participating in a swap for non-convention goers so I am looking forward to getting new ideas and seeing the new products in the catalog!

The new Deal of the Week is the heart to heart punch. Visit my website at http://www.stampinwithshaline.stampinup.net/.

Stay tuned for my announcements regarding Spa Girl Parties. The new catalog is coming out next month. Some of their products are going to be new and improved. Yay!! They will be almost 100% natural!
