Honor Flight Stamp Camp & Silent Auction: Save the Date!!!

Save the date! All day Saturday, April 23rd, 2022, my local Stampin' Up demonstrator team will be holding four sessions of stamp camp to create 1,000 cards for veterans going on the spring Honor Flights to Washington D.C. for a day of honoring and visiting their memorials. During the flight home, they receive a "Mail Call," and it is our goal that every single Wisconsin vet gets a handmade card with a heartfelt, hand-written message inside.

We are excited that Honor Flights have resumed after a long pandemic hiatus, and we can continue our team's chosen service project once again!

We are in need of stampers! Help us hit 1,000 cards in these ways:

• There will be three sessions of stamping each continuously throughout the day
• sign up for a shift from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., 1-5 p.m., and 5-9 p.m.
• all cards are predesigned and pre-cut, ready to stamp and assemble
• please bring your own adhesive (thank you for donating!)
• bring Honor Flight cards you made at home along to add to the count!
• NOT LOCAL? You can still donate funds, snacks, auction items or handmade cards!

****REGISTRATION OPEN NOW **

Aside from stamping hundreds of cards, we're also raising money the super FUN way--raffles, games, and a HUGE silent auction! We have quilts, Stampin' Up baskets, gift certificates and more. All proceeds from the day's sales and auction will go to fund the costs for companions to accompany their veterans as their helper for the day.

Stampin' Up has generously donated $1,000+ worth of cardmaking supplies and funded EIGHT veteran's flights already through the Make A Difference program with Lyssa as a Heart of Stampin' Up award recipient! We are excited to see the final total of what we will be able to present to Badger Honor Flight of Madison at their meeting in May.

Will you come and help us hit our goal? I hope so! If you can't stay to stamp, come and check out the auction, sale and raffle fun--it's not to be missed. Hope to see your name pop up in registration!

Santa's elves spent the day partying at the Studio!

Santa's helpers (AKA my fabulous team of Stampin' Up Demonstrators) spent the day playing reindeer games, making gingerbread houses and stamping with new stamps at the Studio last weekend! We were so glad to get together again and missed everyone who couldn't make it due to distance or illness.

This year I chose the theme of pastels based on the adorable Penguin Playmates patterned papers from Stampin' Up. These cute papers are retired now, but I happen to know there are a few packs left on the Studio's clearance rack, if you get there first! Email me if you need them mailed to you. Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

I had so much fun playing with the polar animals and decorating with pink and blue. My one wall is still covered up from renovations that aren't done yet, so I have to keep working with the light blue. Although it kind of gave the studio a sparkly gender-reveal kind of atmosphere, I have to say!

Made me realize I can't wait to see whose lucky little one gets the Studio's first private baby shower event! If that's part of YOUR happy new year, let's get you booked and a theme chosen!

I went wayyyy overboard on the favors ... they took forever!... what can I say? I was born to party plan! And it's all in the details.

The best party of the party is not the decor, the presents or the treats... but the people! Thanks for coming to my party but thank you even more for being my friend.

If you'd like to join a well-established Stampin' Up team with a lot of "family" going on, I invite you to be a part of mine! The Song of My Heart Demonstrator team will welcome you with open arms. I'm looking forward to spoiling YOU at our next holiday party, my friend! http://bit.ly/joinSUnow

Fun at the Stampin Up OnStage conference 2021

My Stampin' Up demonstrator team had so much fun this weekend at the OnStage conference! While we're still in the "safe at home" mode and only gathering online until next year, it was still very exciting to see the new Spring 2022 mini catalog, meet up with friends who could watch together locally, and take in awesome stamping demonstrations from all over the world.

And of course... there was lots of chatting, crafting, and chocolate!

Awards Night was so inspiring! The Top Demonstrators of the Year are announced and I landed at #39 out of more than 40,000 United States demonstrators. That just blows me away! God is good! And I'm so thankful for the customer friends and team members He has placed in my life.

Special shout out to my extra fab bestie assistant Penni, and my handsome history professor Mike for their support. I love you both for bearing with me in the ups and downs and overthinking!

Even better was watching so many of my team members celebrate promotions, anniversaries and milestones. We had a fantastic year despite struggles with health, loss of family members, lack of ability to gather in person, and even job loss.

I am so proud of these ladies for hanging onto their dreams when their candles flicker and threaten to go out. God put that spark in you, girlfriends! Don't let anyone blow it out. It's there for you to use to light the candles of others all over the world.

We stamped a LOT over three days! Everyone brought a project for everyone else to make. It was so nice to be in the Studio where we could just go and grab whatever product was being used on the big screen and play with it along with them. We also worked on holiday cards for use by local nursing home residents.

On Saturday we made Christmas ornaments all day! And since the Studio is right downtown, during the daily lunch break we went shopping in the cute little boutiques along Main.  It was so fun.

We used the new stamp sets from the swag boxes to practice our Stampin' Blends coloring techniques while we brainstormed ideas for classes and stamp camps in the new year. We're really fired up to spread this crazy fun hobby and the opportunity to make a business out of it in 2021!

If you'd like to be a part of my team and enjoy not only the perks of being a demo but also the sisterhood and support of Song of My Heart Studios, the Starter Kit is on sale right now for just $75 bucks. You can begin getting the discount (even on top of items already on sale!) and all the resources from Stampin' Up as well as free membership in My Layout Library and my team's hilarious and active Facebook group.

You would have the time of your life eating it all up and learning like crazy. Let's chat about this before the sale is over on November 30th! Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Ready to go for it? Yippee!!!  http://bit.ly/joinSUnow
