More Than Sweets: Christmas In July

Welcome

My name is Amy and I am married to Mark and have two girls, Holly and Macy. We live in Oakville, Missouri - a suburb of St. Louis.

I have several means of employment - baking, stamping, crafting, histology, cytology, etc. It's crazy and I am always busy! My real job right now is histology, which provides money for my baking, stamping and crafting, with a little left over for our family.

I became a Stampin' Up demonstrator in October of 2008 after being a good customer for about 10 years. Most people know me because of my baked goods, which is where the blog name comes from - I do more stamping now than baking.

Hope you enjoy your visit to my blog!

Christmas In July

Posted by Amy Nielsen at 7:54 PM

Thanks to all who attended my Christmas In July stamp class this weekend. I had a great time and it felt good to feel like I might have a jump start on my Christmas projects this year.

Hope

everyone got an idea or two for your own holiday projects. We are headed west this week for our family vacation. We will be stopping in Estes Park, Colorado this week and then on to Salt Lake City, Utah the following week for the annual Stampin' Up Convention. I am getting very excited and working feverishly on my swaps. I hope to bring home around 100 new ideas to share with all of you. In the meantime, here are some pictures from this weekend. At the end of August or early in September, I am planning to share all of the new things I learn at convention. We will be receiving five stamp sets from the new catalog in which to make the make and takes

during convention. So, that means we will be using the following stamp sets in my next class: Hello Again (pg. 114), Sweet Season (pg. 29), Things I Love (pg. 54), Tree Trimmings (pg. 28) and Retro Remix (wheel on pg. 114). Talk to you in a couple weeks!!!!!!
