what a nice thing...

We are having Owen's photos done by Shelley Anderson. I recently posted a link to her blog showing Owen's photo shoot scheduled! Today I looked at her blog (I'm still trying to figure out what we should all wear) and noticed she posted this....can you nominate anyone?

You know someone who has recently experienced a tragedy, that is financially struggling to stay afloat, who is working three jobs to pay the bills, or who is volunteering selflessly despite his/her own personal circumstances.

You know someone that can’t afford professional photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone, i guarantee it.

I want to know who they are and i am willing to donate a sitting with digital images worth $250. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this year. Also, the person that nominates the winner receives a $50 portrait credit as well. +

The rules: You cannot nominate yourself and the person nominated must SINCERELY be incapable of purchasing my services. The nominee must live in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing and why they deserve this. Please include a way to contact both the nominee and yourself as well.

Please comment on this blog entry to let me now you’ve entered and send me the full story @
shelley_m_anderson2001@yahoo.com. The winner will be announced on Thanksgiving. Get nominating… I cannot wait to read your entries. Please spread the word amongst your family and friends that I am doing this, as this is my first year of doing this as well. I know that there have been so many foreclosures, etc this year with the whole economy and i read about this idea on another photographers blog and thought WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
I know turkey day seems so far away…but it really isn’t. i have SOOOOOO much to be thankful for and i honestly need to pinch myself sometimes:) Please open up your heart to someone this holiday season…and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine…as i LOVE what i do, i honestly do!

{Stampin' 6}

Do you have a long wish list of Scrapbooking and stamping items? Do you want to earn FREE merchandise? Stampin’ 6 is a great way to add to your Scrapbooking collection while getting some great hostess benefits along the way!

We’ll meet once per month. This can be at my home or yours or we can do an email order only. If we do meet, we will make two or three projects, browse supplies, place monthly orders, snack and visit with others who love stamping and scrapbooking.

HOW DOES STAMPIN’ 6 WORK?

*Each club is a group of 6 people who commit to placing a $25 order (before tax and shipping) each month for 6 months.

*Each club member gets to be the hostess one of the 6 months and will earn hostess benefits.

*You are guaranteed a minimum of $15.00 in catalog merchandise and one free hostess stamp set during your month (These are the minimum benefits of a $150 sales total – if the order is more, you earn more rewards!)

*You will receive the free Stampin’ Up Idea Book and Catalog (A $10 value) when you join the club, and also free seasonal mini catalogs when released.


EXTRA OPPORTUNTIES: In addition to the club’s monthly spending, you have the opportunity to collect outside orders from friends/family/co-workers or host a party at your own home (or mine) to boost your monthly sales total during your hostess month. This is totally optional.

PLACING YOUR CLUB ORDERS: If you are unable to attend on club night, that’s ok!! Please send your order via email. I do ask that you be courteous to your fellow club members by ordering and sending payment by club nights.

THIS SOUNDS GREAT! HOW DO I SIGN UP?
1) Email me the list of 6 names if you already have a group of 6 ready to begin! Congrats! You are now a Stamp Club!!
2) Email me your name and I’ll put you on a “club list”. Once this list has 6 names, you are officially a group. We can have many groups going at the same time.

I look forward to hearing from you!
