Phasing out this blog

Obviously I havent' been keeping up with this blog. I've decided to focus my concentration on two of my online businesses - Story Time Felts and Stampin' UP. That said, I will be phasing out this blog. If you are looking for information on Story Time Felts, please go to my new blog exclusively for STF - http://feltstories.blogspot.com

If you are looking for Stampin' Up ideas, stamps, etc. for now you can head over to my corporate website: http://colleensmith.stampinup.net

Hope you have enjoyed what little I have posted here. I will leave this message up for the next month until all who may stumble over here have had a chance to change their bookmarks to my new sites.

Thanks!

Felt Fridays: Creepy Crawlers & Tall Tales

One thing I love about Story Time Felts is they are always coming up with new felt board sets that are so cool! This month's new set is perfect for the boys in your life....Creepy Crawlers. Why is it that boys are so fascinated with bugs? Well, I guess girls are too, but boys have that reputation you know? If there is an interesting bug on the floor and I call my kids over to check it out, Eric will be the first in line, wanting to find some way of capturing it. Stephanie will want me to just get rid of it, and Cassie will waver between fascination and fear, depending on her mood.

Kids will have a great time playing with this set: Uncut $29.99 Precut $34.99

Aside from the bug set, there is also the new Tall Tales Story set and board. Two of my favorite Tall tales is Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan. I had a great Paul Bunyan record that I wore out as a child.

Tall Tales: Uncut $48.99 Precut $54.99

I see so many great applications for both of these sets. Can't wait to get them in and start playing with them!

Essential Thursday: New Products!

Okay, I haven't been that diligent at keeping up on my weekly posts. But all that will change now that I am no longer teaching! Yeah!

So coming up from Jordan Essentials we have a wonderful new product:

Fresh Face for Spring Set
Cleanse, Tone and Treat for Fresh glowing skin

• Gentle Cleanser
• Toner Mist
• Age-Defying Serum
• Fresh Spring Floral Charm
• Packaged in an organizational drawstring bag

I'm fairly excited about this new product line. I was just looking in the mirror the other day and wondering what I could do about my wrinkles and old looking skin. Perhaps this is the key to a new younger looking me! I'll let you know the results after I've been using the products for a while.

Don't forget to check out my Jordan Essentials website for prices and ordering.

Wonder Play Wednesdays: Outdoor Fun Sale

Okay, each day I am supposed to promote one of my businesses. I was having a hard time coming up with a catchy name to promote the Discovery Toys. Wonderful Wednesdays came to mind but I wanted to add in the idea of play. After all, DT's mission statement is "Play is a child's work", or something like that. Anyway, Wonder Play Wednesday came to mind.

There is lots going on on the DT website. The Outdoor fun sale ends May 27th. You can check out the flyer at Outdoor Fun Sale

There is also a great Spring into Summer Sale happening as well.
I may get in trouble for posting these, but I'll take my chances! You may order directly from the discovery toys website link on this page but don't forget to use my EC#SMK987 or better yet, give me a call and make it a party to earn free toys! Parties over $300 held before June 17th will earn an additional 50% in free gifts.

Stampin' Tuesdays: First Order

Well, I placed my first order as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator this week. I can't wait for my new products to come in. I was a little leary of the chip board when I first viewed it, but then I saw how you can spice it up with the designer paper and now I can't wait to get my chip board journal and the ginormous flower set. I saw a great idea in Stampin' Up's March Succes Magazine (which I get as a Demonstrator). Using the Ginormous Flower they created a beautiful stand up picture frame that I can't wait to try out. My 5 year old just graduated from Kindergarten so I plan on taking her "grad" picture and putting it in this frame and sending it off to Grandma in Canada.

There is still time to get in on the Chipboard special. 25% off all chipboards if you place an order over $35.

I will be hosting a table at the Guam Homeschool Association Annual Curriculum Fair, next week Saturday, May 24th from 9am to 3pm. If you are in Agana Heights, come on over to the Community Center and check it out!

Motoring Mondays: Intro Better Drivers

Monday is supposed to be reserved for Usborne books. Trouble is, I think I may have let my distributorship in this company lapse. And with all that's going on I may have to leave it for now. So....what to do? What to do......?

I know, promote my real life business: Better Drivers! No one can get mad at me for that one!

Driving school is what pays the bills and feeds the family. I've gotten pretty good at teaching the class, and since Monday is the first day of my weekly class, what better day to promote it?

You have to check out our website: http://www.guamdrivingschool.com. My DH has been working hard on it, adding articles daily and working towards our goal to offer an online driver's ed class for those on Guam. Who knows, if we do a good enough job, maybe we could offer it to other states as well that accept online driver's ed. It still needs a lot of work, but since school will be finished by the end of this week (my other day job) I will have time to dedicate to this worthy endeavor.

Check back next Monday for more driving school tips!
