Sizzix Textured Embossing Boutique at Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! is full of announcements. Another new one is the Sizzix Textured Embossing Boutique. Stampin' Up! is featuring 4000 embossing boutiques while supplies last as a test run with the possibilities of selling this little purse sometime in the future.

The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only. Because this is a product test, the Texture Boutique is not branded with the Stampin' Up! logo. It comes in Sizzix packaging and is the same color and design that is sold in stores. We recommend you read the included instructions before using the Texture Boutique and that you pass the same recommendation on to customers who purchase it. To help you with your gift-giving needs, we're offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.

Operation Christmas Child

A friend of mine, Jessica from thisblessedlife.net is hosting a giveway sponsored by Operation Christmas Child. We as a family would do this via my kid's school. And this year despite the  fact my kids are in college or adult, I decided I would do this in honor of Justin and Jessica. Also, I was listening to Focus on the Family this week. They had an inspiring story of one of the receipients. A young girl who had to go to school with no shoes and there was snow on the ground (listen to FFOTF for the accurate details). Anyway, to make a long story short, God provided her with shoes. So, I was inspired by her story to once again participate and to provide shoes/sneakers for 2 little children. My husband had doubts that he could fit all the stuff in a shoe box, but I told him, "It will fit" thinking God will get it in there somehow and He did.

I do want to make one thing clear, you don't need to spend a lot of money in order to participate. Buy what you can and God will bless whoever with your gift. God is not concerned about the amount of money we spend but just our attitude in giving. So, find a shoebox and fill it up with new items for some little boy or girl. Check out OCC site for a list of things that are acceptable because these boxes do go around the world to many needy children.

Also, check out thisblessedlife.net to enter into a drawing.
