We had our team meeting last Saturday, May 19th. We had a great time, had lots of discussions, shared swaps, planned our 3rd Annual Luv2stampinGa Retreat! One of our team members (Rhonda N.) shared her flower pin project…..loved it! Rhonda actually gave credit to my /our fabulous upline Patty Bennett for the instructions and inspiration…..really everyone, she is the absolute BEST!!!
In addition, I had 2 make-n-takes for the girls to make, one was inspired by our fabulous "Stampin' Success Magazine", which is mailed to us for "free" by Stampin' Up, love our company!!

Here are our gals, voting for the best swap. We had a tie and the two winners will have their card placed on a special area of my Stampin' Studion for all to view until our next team meeting, in addition they both received a gift (from the upcoming catalog, so "new stuff") from me.

Here are the first couple of swaps they voted on.
And the last 2. I will have close ups for you tomorrow, and indentify the "winning
cards…:-)

Our team working on their Make-n-takes, sharing information, eating some yummy food the gals brought in to share.

Here is one of their completed projects we made from the Stampin' Success Magazine, it utilized us making our own beads….very cool!

And here is the second make-n-take card they made. I will have close up pictures of these and the swap cards for you tomorrow. Would love to hear which one was your favorite!

I made each of the gals who attended/or participated in our swap but could not attend due to family conflicts. If you look closely I made them using our fabulous Ruffled Polka Dot Ribbon. I found these cute scissor charms at a local Fabric Store, along with the ribbon holder and the split ring for their keys. I handmade the clear bauble and put it all together. They all seemed to enjoy it!
Please come back tomorrow for a closer view of all the swaps, and to identify to two top winners! In fact, in you participate and send me message with which 2 cards you think won and are correct, I will make and send you one of these adorable keychains just for participating! "Anyone who guesses correctly between 5/24 thru 5/25/12 will have a chance to win. Who knows, I may need to make a ton of these if you all guess correctly!
Until the next time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!
