Contractions started – Heather going to the hospital!!!
At 4:47pm today Heather emailed me that she’s going to the hospital. Baby’s coming!!!
If anyone wants to send her a card, I can provide you her address if you email me privately!!!
Video sidebar buttons code change
For those using the Video sidebar buttons to link to the SU! Videos at Stampin’ Up!:
Someone at Stampin’ Up! changed the URL’s of the videos on their website. This caused the links not to work.
I’ve fixed the links. Go here for the codes.
It’s time to play at PPA – downline of Mary Fish provide the fun!
Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Mary Fish recently asked me to design her new PPA blog banner for her "Pals Paper Arts" challenge blog! The group decided on using the new In Colors in their banner with a fun, modern look. A little whimsical flower echos the Razzle Dazzle style stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Several patterns coordinate in layers.

I also made them a little heart graphic they can use to use as a color spot for their challenges! They can change the colors of the heart with whatever color challenge they are featuring!
Beautiful in blues and florals…
That’s what Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Ann Schach’s new blog is! Ann’s blog has a blue Victorian background with a subtle tone-on-tone effect. Pretty decorative scallops grace the edges. Visit Ann here!

Focusing on Social Media
Recently I came across this article all about using Social Media for business.
Specifically, this one looks at Twitter.
Fortune 500 companies all the way down to momand- pop shops are learning how to take advantage of all that social media has to offer. And just like the Internet, it’s here to stay. Learning how to take advantage of these different customer touch points will be key to research, sales, marketing, branding, and communications strategies for every company.
…
In the coming months, we have more than a half-dozen articles planned that will be dedicated to explaining the advantages and opportunities available to you through the social media. We will strive to ease your fears as well as give you step-by-step instructions on how to set up accounts for your business and manage the outcome. Stay tuned. There is much more on this topic heading your way.
I’m going to watch this site for the new articles they promise us and post links here for your convenience.
