The Scrap House

Welcome to Randee's Craft House!

I'm very excited to introduce you to my Craft House!  I hope you will join me someday soon and scrap, stamp, or craft for the weekend.  This has long been a dream of mine, as I love the thought of spending time with old and new friends laughing, crafting, relaxing and being with "just the girls!"

This is designed for our special time to get away from the pressures of work and family, get some projects completed, let our hair down and stay in our jammies all weekend, if we want!

If this sounds like your idea of a good time, book a weekend with me!

Listed in the previous post are specials, but SU! just sweetened the Specials with a June sneak peek into the new Fall/Winter Idea Book and Catalog 2008  pre-order special!

Bermuda Pics

Oops!  I've been busy and I forgot to post a couple Bermuda pictures.  This first one is one I took from the ferry coming into Hamilton.   

All the houses and shops are wonderful pastels.  And everywhere you look there is color!

And the water was so clear and so many beautiful shades of greens and blues!

So, I think this is a really good time for me to insert a little special for all my Stampin' Up! customers.  Since I loved the pretty pastel colors of Bermuda, I am offering you 10% discount on anything that's pastel in the catalog.  This includes our Stampin' Pastels (chalks), Soft Subtle cardstock, ink pads, pens and re-inkers and anything else you can find that is a pretty pastel!  Happy shopping and stamping!

Stamping Hugs,

Randee

There is nothing like a cruise! Especially a Free One!

Okay, I am now completely spoiled.  Bermuda is absolutely beautiful (I am ranking it in my top four favorite countries that I've visited), Stampin' Up! is an awesome company, Holland America is the best cruise line I've enjoyed thus far,  and I can't wait for the next all-expenses paid trip to the Southern Caribbean!

If you have ever thought to travel, but thought, I just can't afford it, hop on the SU! bandwagon and earn it!  While it is work, it's like being paid to play with your stamps and scrapbooks, and it will be the experience of a lifetime!

Don't have a lot of time?  There are lots of ways to earn a great income with Stampin' Up!  I'll help you with ideas that will fit your busy lifestyle.  I met women on the cruise who not only work full-time, they have small children with special needs and do a lot of community work in addition to being demos who didn't allow any excuses to keep them from being cruise achievers.  This is not out of the reach of any of us!

If you have ever thought of having your own business with great money, great opportunities and meeting great people, give Stampin' Up! a try.  Call or e-mail me for more info. 

Here are just a couple of the great scrapping and stamping ideas I saw on the cruise.  I'm sorry I can't give credit to the actual creators of these great projects, but thank you so much for sharing!

About the house and Grapevine

Randee's Craft House is located in the heart of downtown Historic Grapevine.  It is just a short 1.5 block walk to Main Street where there is a variety of fun and exclusive shops to explore, not to mention food, wine and coffee shops!

It is also just a short drive to JoAnn's, Michael's and some other craft stores in the area, along with any other type of shopping you may wish to do.  Grapevine Mills is about 10 minutes away.

Flying in?  No problem!  Grapevine is about 5 minutes from the North exit of the DFW airport and about 20 minutes from Love Field!

This truly is the perfect location for the crafting get-away weekend!

Hello from beautiful Bermuda!

Hello Friends!

Here’s a little update from beautiful Bermuda where I am enjoying an all expenses paid cruise, courtesy of Stampin’ Up!

The ship is absolutely beautiful and the waitstaff the best I have ever had in all the cruises I have enjoyed!  I think I’m gaining 5 lbs a day, though!

I return from my cruise on April 5^th.  If you want something Stampin’ Up!, go online to the catalog (if you don’t have one already) and e-mail me your wish list!  Since I’m enjoying a ship, your shipping is on me!  Get your order to me via e-mail before April 6^th.  I’ll e-mail you back your totals when you get home!

I’ll post pictures of Bermuda on my next update.  In the meantime, here are a couple for fun.  One is a picture of myself and my two friends who are on the cruise.  Orange is definitely an “in” color!  I will post a picture of New York from my bus window and the beautiful lady as we pulled out of the harbor. 

For my scrapbook retreat friends, I will be having a booking special coming up, so be watching and tell all your friends to sign up to get updates so they can be included in the specials!

Hugs from friendly Bermuda,

Randee

Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone has been having very Happy Holidays.  I love this season and am so glad it's turned cold!  Puts me in a better mood!

I played around with a little card-making tonight and here is one of the results.  I used Stampin' Up! stamps, Season of Joy, SU! Red Organdy Ribbon, Real Red and Garden Green Cardstock along with Real Red Classic Ink.  The paper is from Daisy D's and the snowflake rivets were part of a supply I inherited from Mom.
