On January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, we want to help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this earthquake by selling, the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set.
Product Name Item # Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount 118571 $18.95 (block D recommended)
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount 117010 $26.95
Stampin’ Up! has supported many good causes over the years. In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin’ Up! has gathered its demonstrators to step forward and show their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. This time is no different.
Besides supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities annually, Stampin’ Up! has stepped forward again to help the people of Haiti who were affected by the earthquakes.
From now until February 28th, Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund every time you stampers purchase the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set in Wood (#117010) or Cling Mount (#118571). The American Red Cross is already down in Haiti helping. With your help, we can help them get the supplies they need to make a substantial impact on the situation.
Thank you for your support!!!!

6 Chicken Breasts
1 Box of Chicken StoveTop Stuffing
1 Cup of water
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup of milk
1 can of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 tsp. of dill
1 tsp. of Montreal Chicken Seasoning.
Directions:
Beat out the chicken breast until really thin. Sprinkle the outside of the breast with dill and chicken seasoning. Now take the box of Stove top and dump in bowl and mix with a cup of water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Dump in the egg and mix. Take your can of soup and mix with milk next and set aside.
Now take your chicken breast and lay un-seasoned side up. Take a spoonful of stove top mixture and spread thinly on the chicken until completely covered. Now roll up the chicken breast and put toothpicks in to hold it. Place in disk with seam side down. Do this for all the chicken breasts. Lastly take the soup and pour over top of all the chicken breasts. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
I hope you like this because it will become a staple in our house regularly. Let me know what you think.

All,
I was looking through some photos and remember that I never uploaded my personal christmas cards and some teacher gifts I made for this past christmas.
The Holiday Mini had one of the best stampsets called Dasher, which I am sure everyone has. I also made some cute white boxes stamped with Serene Snowflakes and tags were made with the Christmas punch. I was so proud of these little boxes that I filled with homemade peanut butter and chocolate fudge that I thought no mater what I has to shear them with you .
Sorry its after christmas but I am proud of these last minute ideas I came up with at 10 pm at night.
Hey all,
For those of you that don’t know me, I love to cook so much. I so wish I had gone on to Chef School at Johnson & Wales. For this new year 2010, I am starting a new tradition of posting a recipe of the week on the frontpage of my blog. In addition, I have a recipe section of the blog that I will update regularly too. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not going away from my Stampin Up roots, I am just adding to them. All of us have clubs and workshops right! We all need yummy recipes to share that are easy to make. So let me know what you think. Here’s this week’s recipe.

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin’ Up! has adopted a new body style for their punches!
A few features of the new punch style:
- Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
- Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
- Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
- Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
- New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
- Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
- Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
- larger, whole-hand handle
I hope you like them. Be ready to order them tomorrow!!!
