Sorry I have not been Posting!

I have been creating just not being very good about posting but I am going get better with that again. Here are some jars I decorated filled with chocolates as prizes for my lia sophia parties.

LIA SOPHIA MYSTERY HOSTESS

Are you ready for this? Starting now through May 23, 2009, I'm holding a LIA SOPHIA Mystery Hostess Party. During this time, you'll have the opportunity to purchase fabulous jewelry from the spring/summer catalog and take advantage of our awesome customer save plan which is buy 2 items at regular price and get your 3rd most expensive item at half price. In addition, you can also take advantage of the May special which is any 3 bracelets in the catalog for half price. This is a great deal since it is the trend right now to wear multiple bracelets at one time!

How does a Mystery Hostess Party work?

In order to qualify for a chance to be the mystery hostess, you must make a purchase now through Saturday, May 23, 2009. For your convenience, I’m offering three different ways to pay:

(1) Call me with your order
(2) Email me with your order or
(3) Ordering from my website www.liasophia.com/kimopsahl

To place an order online all you need to do is
GO TO: www.liasophia.com/kimopsahl
1. Choose “Our Jewelry” at top of page.
2. Choose the Spring/Summer Catalog.
3. Click the “How to Purchase” button.
4. Place name into the hostess information box (Mystery Hostess)
If you need assistance, feel free to contact Kim at:
(608) 347-2208
opsahlk@gmail.com

For every $25 you spend, you'll have an additional chance! So, if you only spend $25 or less, you'll earn one chance. If you spend $50, you'll earn 2 chances, $75 you will earn 3 chances, and so on.

On the Sunday following the close of the party, I'll tally up the totals and announce a winner who will then be contacted to claim her rewards. The Mystery Hostess will have 7 days to place an order with the rewards earned as we don’t want the buying customers to wait too long for their product.

With a qualified show ($250) the mystery hostess will receive 20% of show sales in free jewelry, any 4 items in the catalog for $15 unless otherwise stated, any 2 items in the catalog for ½ price and also the monthly special which is 3 bracelets for ½ price.

If 10 orders are made and 2 shows get booked during these 5 days, the mystery hostess with get 40% of show sales in free jewelry.

Sarah's Bracelet

I made this bracelet for my girlfriend Sarah for her wedding. I thought it would be okay to post it here because I don't think she looks at my crafting blog too often. At least I hope she doesn't cause I kinda wanted it to be somewhat of a surprise. She knows I am making it for her but she has no idea what it looks like. I thought it turned out pretty good considering I don't make bracelets too often. I just hope she likes it!!!! Don't you love my hairy arm.....

Started a New Business

I have decided to become a lia sophia advisor which is a direct sales company of some fabulous jewelry. Check out my website here. Anyways, I have been very busy making little gifts to give away as prizes at my parties. Here is a candle I got from Michaels that I glued some cute little paper flowers on. I thought it would be perfect for spring!!!

I'm Back

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while.....I was on vacation for a week and I am now addicted to a thing called "FACEBOOK." I am sure many of you know what that is. It has been great though because I have become reaquainted with people I have not seen or talked to in a long time. I decided though that I need to pry myself away from the computer and start scrapping again cause the pictures are starting to pile up and I still need to finish that summer vacation album...Just a few more pages to go and I will be done. Then it is on to my most recent vacation....the cruise....getting excited about getting that one started.





Thanks for stopping by!!!

Layout For The Day or Should I Say Night

I Should Be Scrapbooking!

But for some reason I would rather be making Valentine cards....

Something New

There was a demonstrator from Sweet Impressions at the scrapbooking and stamping expo that I went to this fall demonstrating Parchmant Craft. I of course fell in love with the look of it and bought everything I needed to give it a try...Well I finally gave it a try and here is the end result.....I love it....Very time consuming but worth it in the end....

Go to Sweet Impressions for the tutorial and the products you would need.

Happy New Year!

I always see such awesome artwork in CTMH's Idea Book that I thought I would start lifting some ideas from it once and a while. This card I lifted from the Summer 2008 book, pg. 34,

I used the Shining Star stamp set from CTMH.

Few Cards To Share

Trying to get some last minute Christmas cards done while also trying to clean...the cleaning is not going so well...kind of moving in slow motion....ha..

Got a Card In Today

I was supposed to be cleaning today but instead I laid around and watched movies. I did manage to make one card though today....

Post 100

I just noticed this was my 100th post...WhooHoo.. I would have never thought at this time last year that I would be a blogger....I love it...I love sharing my artwork and I love looking at other people's artwork....

Here is another layout from my summer vacation this year. My nephew loves to fish so I got lots of pictures of him doing just that.....I have a few more I need to scrap yet...
