FFAF Day 19: S is for SWEET!

Before we get started on today's letter of the day, here are a few little announcements for you:

My mid-month mini newsletter was sent out to my Canadian subscriber list yesterday and included a super-cute candlewrap project from Stampin' Up!. If you haven't joined my list yet, you can do so anytime and I'll re-send it to you.

My classes page has been updated all the way into JUNE! That's right -- the Virgo in me has me planning everything for all the way AFTER the CreativFestival, so go take a peek at what fun events I have planned for you and let me know which ones you want to come to. Speaking of the CreativFestival, I have a special free gift I'll be giving to all attendees who stop by my booth -- just bring this coupon to claim it!

This week's events are all demonstrator-based: yesterday was the team's monthly drop in "Stamp & Share Day", where my gang can come play for the day and use my stamps, etc. Friday will be "Demo Information Chat" time, so anyone can pop by if they want to learn more about the Starter Kit, etc and Saturday is my team's Quarterly meeting! That's when I set up some fun projects for them to make & we get together for fun, fun, fun. If you want to join us to see what it's like, please email me for an RSVP.

Next week's Birthday Cards and Sympathy/Thinking of You Cards classes are both filling up nicely -- I'll try to have the samples up for you by Monday at the latest so you can see what we're making.

A quick welcome to Gayle from London for having joined "the family" yesterday -- I'm so glad you did!

Last but not least, it was announced last night that Stampin' Up! is going to begin launching an ANNUAL catalogue starting July 1! There will still be exciting and fresh mini catalogues released throughout the year that will also include NEW hostess sets to choose from. Should be fun!

Now let me return you to to our regularly scheduled February's Fabulous Alphabet Fun.
Today is all about the letter "S" for SWEET, just like all of you!

Here are 3 different kinds of sweet things -- a candy jar, a sweet booklet card for a special friend and a yummy "sweet baby" box of jelly beans.
