Have you seen the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Occasions catalog? Oh my goodness! I have already gone through 3 packs and have 2 more on hand. I love it!!! Did I say I love it! LOL You will too when you see it in person. It is so pretty, the catalog does not do it any justice.

I used the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets for the silver hearts, love, and the pink flower heart. I have been using them a lot lately, especially for the delicate pieces. It makes it so much easier to attach them to your projects.
I added rhinestones, the smallest ones, to the flowers on the pink heart.
On Friday night I had my first Customer Appreciation event. It was so much fun!!! I wanted to show my customers how much I appreciate all of their support and encouragement in my Stampin' Up! business. I had a lot planned for them, which I think they really enjoyed. They made two make and takes, I will have them on my blog this week, played two games, had lots of door prizes and delicious food.
It has been very cold here in Ohio, so I had a hot chocolate bar. That was a huge hit. I had never made homemade hot chocolate in the crock pot before and it was so easy. Here is the recipe if you would like to try it.
Crock Pot Hot Chocolate:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can of Eagle brand condensed milk
- 6 cups milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups of chocolate chips
Put the first 4 ingredients and mix with a whisk. Add your chocolate chips and cook on low for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours stirring occasionally.
Now, this recipe is NOT lo cal, but it is delicious!
Here are some pictures from the evening of fun!
The top left picture is what they saw as they came down the stairs to my Stampin Studio. I had samples of my classes for this month and an area that they could play with the stamparatus.
The top two pictures are of the boxes I made, or I should say my friend Robin made, for everyone to put their cards in from their make and takes. On the top right hand corner are the door prizes and the bottom two are the food and hot chocolate bar.
I had a full house! These are pictures of them making the cards, playing the scavenger hunt game and eating. What a great night! I sure hope all of them felt loved and spoiled. They warmed my heart with their kind comments and text messages the next day. I love my customers. No, they are my dear friends.
Thank you for stopping in today. I know this post is long, I had so much to share with you today! I hope you have a fabulous week!
