The Cookie Tree makes the BEST cookies.  Sue just happened to want her Peanut Butter one later and put it in her purse.  I mistakenly thought that since her purse was on the floor, she was saving it for me.

Maybe it's a guy thing because the next morning Mr. Cecil thought that the TWO cookies on the counter were for HIM, not realizing that Ann had her sites on having one herself.

Dig my plight?  Must be a man thing or a dog thing.  Whatever.

That featured card on the left is way cooler in real life!  Check out the new ribbon!  What a statement with only 4" of ribbon!

There's only 1 spot left in the ribbon share & 4 spots left in the paper share.  So get your share on and join us so I start directing Ann with the cutter & scissors!

P.S.  I added a bunch to my Art Gallery yesterday.  Go catch a peek!

My team is growing!  What a great bunch of stampers we have!  Here are two cards from the Diva Girls Swap!  Aren't they cool?

YOU can be a Diva too!  Just ask Ann!

The first ribbon share is going out today for you lucky gals that jumped on the first group.  Look at my August 18th post for the NEW Ribbon share.  Only 3 spots left!

I'm loving this sharing thing so much that I'm going to try to do some on paper too!  You'll get a 6"x6" sample sheet of all the Double Sided Designer papers.  You can have it ALL! 

Try a taste & get a little or a lot.  Super Size it with the Deluxe Combo to get all 204 samples AND a chance at winning a free stamp set from Ann's overflowing stamp basket.  WOOF!  WOOF!  (translates to "Such a deal!")

(See share posted on August 26th.)

You know, I have been really missing the opportunity to boss Ann around lately.  You're going to love my taking the reins in this latest piece.  You can make this elegant card in minutes!  Gonna love it!

See this video & more in the Video Gallery

I've been out in the pool room helping Cecil get everything moved around for the Rubber Garage Sale on Saturday.  Perhaps Ann will let me be a greeter this year.  I think that's what I do best!  She likes to keep me on a short leash though because someone might want to take me home!

It should be way easier to look at the new catalog from the links here today.  We stayed up until the early hours so that we could save a file here for you.  Please let us know if you have problems with it.  It's still a large file, but this site is not quite as busy as the Stampin' Up! site....tho we'd like it to be!  :-)

Ann put in her first order from the new catalog today.  Those puppies over at Stampin' Up! must be pretty busy!  They shut down the ordering for just 12 hours & shift over to all the cool stuff in the new pretty book you see me with here.  I know you saw this last week, but aren't I handsome?

Can't wait until the order comes in so she can show you the cool colors of the ribbon share she's doing.  3 yards each of the new 1" Double Stitched Grosgrain in these cool colors:

Rose Red-(NEW IN COLOR)Baja Breeze-Bashful Blue-Chocolate Chip

Here's one of Saturday's favorite cards for all you girly girls.

Links to the new catalog are working now.  They're REALLY slow because everyone & their mother wants to look at it!  (woofin' good idea!)  This is one time that you'll wish you had it in your hot little hands!  (Ann can help you with that so email her!.)

Patience is a virtue.  Of course, I have NO virtue at all in THAT area!  I'm a Jack Russell!  That's why I'm working on creating a faster link, but with a 19 MegaBite file, it takes a bit of chewing!

OK - time to roll 'em out!  Lotsa good stuff happening.  Make sure you get everything you should!  The catalog starts at noon Stampin' Up (Mountain) time.  Here's what's going on right now!

We had such a good time yesterday that I'm posting TWICE today!  Here's the video where we gave away the free $100 gift certificate.  I'm so excited for the winner at the end that you'll see me jump about 3' in the air! 

All of you who have purchased stamps and supplies have your name on this board somewhere for every $50 you've purchased (before tax & shipping),  And those of you who hosted workshops have your name on there too!  Thank you to Jen Rietz who followed my direction to the tee!  I should have her come do this more often!

P.S.  I DID get in trouble from our featured presenter for not having her put the apron AROUND her shirt.  So much for a director to think about!

• Retiring List - Alphabetical
• Retiring List by Page
• Available Retiring Accessories

THEN - THINK ABOUT THIS!  If you've ever wanted to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, this is the time!  Starting tomorrow, there's a $99 special to join my team - OK, ANN'S team of demonstrators!  Just think....for only $99 YOU can stick your toe in the water or take the plunge like a Jack Russell! 

OR if you need more stamps, you can get the regular kit for $199 (which is a real bargain) & pick any new stamp set in the new catalog!  Either way fits.  Just contact Ann with your questions or go here on August 11th & bring your wish list to pick your stamps & stuff.  Just use the code stamperdog & you're off & running!

Ann's always available if you have questions by calling her at 530-674-5090.  Of course, she does go lock herself in a small room of the house that has some white statues in it sometimes.  Don't know what she does in there.  She won't let me in!

    Chow, Baby!    Stamper

I'm off to primp myself for the Hostess Oasis.  The girls are coming any minute.  Gotta go check to make sure I have Tic Tacs & my hair combed. 

Get your orders in NOW for any retiring stamps or accessories!  Tomorrow's the last day! 

If you reserved a catalog & live nearby, stop on over & get it!  Please call first.  Ann can look pretty scary if she's not expecting you.

Come join our team of 24/7 Stampers.  Now is the best opportunity to jump right in!  We're not too big to be personal & not too small to have the training & support you'll need to help you find your own success.  You won't be just a notch in my leash.  Have questions?  Get answers here.

There are some pictures of the new samples in my Art Gallery.  Go check 'em out!  There will be even more tomorrow!  It sure is a fun time to be a demonstrator!  Even if I am the only canine!

    Chow, Baby!    Stamper

To top it off, in Chris Nefsky's swap, there was a Starbucks card!  With $$ on it!  I can't wait to meet her!  Perhaps she'll have some treats for me too!  She has a cool card in the new Dreams Du Jour section of my Art Gallery.  YIKES!  I love those 24/7 Stampers!

Be sure you check out the retired stamps and accessories lists on the left.  They're all going away for good on Sunday!

Ann's working on some weekly Quick Tips to help them all with their businesses.  Man, I wish I could be a demonstrator!  I keep asking, but Ann says I have to have a social security number.  I lost my Green Card so that won't work either.  Well, I'm the closest thing to a canine demonstrator there is.  I do know that!

Find out how you can join the 24/7 Crew here.  They're a fun bunch.  Just be sure to wait until August 11th when you can take advantage of all the cool stuff AND STILL be part of my crew.

Can't wait until you pet me!

If you want a catalog, please email Ann today so that she can hook you up.  And in the meantime, please let Stampin' Up! know that there's a very handsome Stamper Dog that should have his face on the next cover.  I can see me by the fireplace with Shelly & her crew now.  Can't you?

Back to the Hostess Oasis thing.....How do you like the invitation?  Doesn't it make you just WANT THAT PAPER & punch?????  Even makes MY heart go pitter pat!  (Don't tell the dogs down at the park.  They'll never let me forget it.)

I've got some really cool things coming up in the very near future.  I've been losing sleep & getting calluses on my paws from pacing to get just the right tweak on our next freezing cool offer.  You are going to love it!  Just peek here, but the hint is....they named it after ME! 

    Chow, Baby!    Stamper

P.S.  If you're not tired of all the convention yakity-yak, here's Ann with some of my fan club!

Me & Dawn

Ann & Kristina

Me & My Bud, Patsy

I will; however, protect her only catalog until the cases come.  This is the one she brought back from convention.  Nice cover, but they need some help next time!  Let's everyone write in to Stampin' Up! and let them know what a handsome fellow I am.

Those of you on the newsletter list have already seen this fine work of art, but I thought I'd share it anyway because Jolene's always nice to me.  This is her swap card from convention.  I'm sure it blew everyone away!  Just click on it & you'll see the new gallery for the set coming out on Monday.

And here's the BIG NEWS for Monday!  If you have held off joining our crew because you already have a lot of our stamps, delay no more!  There's a cool special coming up with your name on it!If you need more supplies & have just been waiting until the new catalog comes out, we have a special for that too!

RUN!  Don't walk....to our Help Wanted section to find out how you can join our 24/7 Stampers team in the blink of an eye.  Just ask Ann for a new catalog so that you can go shopping & BAM!  You're in!

So that's just about enough for now.  We're here if you need us.  Good thing that Ann can type fast cuz telephone calls just aren't quite cutting it for a few days.  If you could only imagine how hard that is for Ann, you'd send her a card.

Next thing you know, UPS Ken shows up with his little box of stamps.  He doesn't look like our Israel, but he'll do.  He has stamps in that box!  Everything is cool down to the last detail.  (I'm sure the UPS logo is missing on purpose.)

While Shelli is speaking afterwards, a REAL UPS guy comes out to deliver a Stampin' Up! box.  Ann said that Shelli told him that she would help because she knew some (most?) of the people in the audience.

The UPS guy read that it was for EVERYONE!  Ann said the music came on & all this confetti came down out of the sky over several minutes.  A bunch of UPS employees & Stampin' Up! employees dressed in brown handed out free stamp sets to almost 6,000 demonstrators!  There was music & a real live UPS van!

YOWZAH!  What excitement!  Ann came home with confetti all in her bag & even her underwear!

Don't they look happy?  It's the gift that gives twice!  UPS bought all of them the new Ronald McDonald stamp set.  And with that, Stampin' Up! will give Ronald House $2 for each set.....just like when YOU buy one!

So, here's the set complete with the Ronald McDonald House pin and most of the confetti that Ann brought home in her bag.  I wonder how she got it all through airport security!

Sorry that you can't see it all.  Guess you'll have to wait until next week.  I WILL tell you that it's DIE CUT just like all the new sets in the book (& some of the returning ones too). 

I think it will go nicely with that new square scallop punch in the new catalog.  OOPS!  I don't think I was supposed to say that.

First, a big paws in the air for Zoe Farmer!  She's on Ann's team in Paris, Texas and doesn't get to come to our meetings.  Ann still hooks up with her by phone, mail & email, but it was really cool that she got to be crowned as Quarter Queen in Salt Lake City.  She was #2 Demonstrator of the Year for the 24/7 Stampers.  That's not the whole group, but don't they all look like they were enjoying themselves?  But no table scraps made it back home.  Congratulations also go out to Merry Seaver of Colusa, CA who was Demonstrator of the Year for the group.  Unfortunately, Merry was unable to attend convention.

My 24/7 Stampers were really enjoying themselves.  Jessica Luther got picked out of 6,000 demonstrators for the Stamp-tion-ary game.  She was on the rookie team because this was her first convention.  They were doing well, but Jessica's hint was Nellie the Nest Lady.  That was a stamp set that's been gone almost 8 years so it was even harder to guess.  Still, a $50 Stampin' Up! shopping spree can go far in healing the wounds of loss.

I've got more coming soon, but between naps with Ann while she tries to regain her voice & phone calls from my adoring fans, it's taken me all day to get this far!
