HappyHappy Hawwmp Day! It’s Day 4 of our cruise and we’ve been a bit busy!
Okay – a lot of the “busy” has revolved around FOOD but – we have taken a break or two to DO and SEE some THINGS!
Our first full day was a Sea Day – and it started out with a Stampin’ Up! general session – we got a few sneak peeks from the next Mini catalog (I can’t share yet but…you’re going to really like it a lot!) AND – we learned where we’ll go for the 2025 Incentive Trip. THAT was exciting for sure!
We also hit the hospitality room to spin for Prize Patrols – and raid the candy jars! THOSE are always a hit!
We got back to the room to find we had a little visitor. Wayne wanted to bring him home…
Being a sea-day, we’d scheduled a “flight” in the iFly Ripcord – this is the same equipment that is in land-based facilities but..on a ship!
It was fun, no doubt – but…it was hard work! We each got to “fly” twice and that was plenty!
Amy didn’t want to do it – so…I gave her a little grief over that, but…was happy she was willing to be our photographer! 🙂
The weather was sort of nasty that afternoon so our scheduled NorthStar Extended Experience was cancelled. We decided to do the shorter “ride” the next day before heading in to Haugesund – our first port in Norway!
Our approach to the port of Haugesund was beautiful…
And, being a gorgeous clear day – it turned out to be a spectacular view from the NorthStar – which extends up to 300 feet above the sea level!
We headed to town – across a tall and VERY windy bridge! – and did a little exploring on our own.
We found a lot of shops and a beautiful park…
…and Harald Fairhair, the first Viking King of Norway, has a bronze statue at the top of a hill overlooking the fjord and the open sea.
Back to the ship for lunch – then I hit the treadmill as we ported out!
Dinner with Amy and Lance and Jaime B and her husband Will, then a show – it was Jon Courtenay – a Britain’s Got Talent Winner (he was VERY good and very funny!) and then to bed!
Tomorrow is…Gerander – home of chocolate with cheese in it!!
I hope you’re enjoying the pics of this amazing trip that I am SO grateful to have earned – with all y’all’s help! Thank you again!
And – I’ve got one more opening for the host club starting on 1 June – if you want it, let me know quick as you can, okay? 🙂

P.S. Stampin’ Up! tells me that have to let you know – that not many demonstrators earn the incentive trip – it’s actually fewer than 1% – which means my results aren’t typical! Okay. Done! 😉
HOST CODE FOR 11 MAY – 31 MAY: RVBEYC9W
Use this host code when you order $50 or greater and receive a free gift (AND the Monthly Card Tutorial) from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any item valued up to $10.00 in any active Catalog! That includes some of the Host Exclusive stamp sets! See my Customer Rewards page for full details.
Note: Make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me and you’ll get my rewards!
You’ll also be getting a link to my ZOOM The Craftroom (an exclusive TWICE-A-WEEK online event for my customers) and the monthly Online Tutorial. The May Tutorial features the beautiful Cheerful Daisies Bundle!
My Online Host Club is a great way to build up your Stampin’ Up! tool chest a little at a time – and gather up the new goodies that you’ve got your eye on! AND – I do all the host “duties” for you – but YOU get the host benefits! 😎
If you’re intrigued – then….read on!
Here’s how it works!
Clubs consist of three folks – who are part of the club for 6 months. During that period- you’ll get to be the host TWICE – getting all the benefits, but…doing no extra work!
You sign up for two consecutive 3-month “terms” and commit to:
– A $50.00 minimum order each month
– Placing your order by the 20th of each month
– Using the Host code for each month that I send to you in an email at the beginning of each month
This is how the schedule might look (if “Judy”, “Cynthia” and “MaryAnne” signed up! 😎) As you can see, each member gets to host TWICE during the six months!!
Here’s the deets!
– You’ll have AT LEAST a $150.00 Workshop order during EACH of your host months! Which means you’ll have at least $15.00 of Stampin’ Rewards dollars to spend on the exclusive Host Stamp Sets, or any other current Stampin’ Up! product during your host months. Stampin’ Rewards are Stampin’ Up!-speak for “free money”!
– You’ll earn DOUBLE PEPPERMINTS on your Host Club Orders. Each $50 order earns 4 reward points, a $75 order earns you 6 reward points, etc. You’ll earn at least 24 reward points during your membership, meaning you’ll automatically earn at least ONE $40 Peppermint rewards gift! (Remember – when you gather up 16 Peppermints, you get to select a free reward gift valued up to $40!). You can get more info about my Punkin’ Heads Customer Rewards Program right here.
– You’ll receive a FREE monthly tutorial with 4-5 projects and access to all previous tutorials for the duration of the club. Right now, there are around SEVENTY-SEVEN tutorials available only to Online Host Club members. That’s around FOUR HUNDRED not-seen-on-our-blogs projects for you to use as inspiration (and they ALL have all the card cuts and instructions!)
– Access to my Two Weekly Zoom The Craftroom online Zoom Parties – where you can come craft and chat with me and other customers!
– FREE catalogs during your membership term
– FREE shipping in your TWO Host Months
– A FREE STAMP SET of your choice valued up to $25 at the end of each “term”, any current set (excluding host sets)! That’s TWO free stamp sets in six months!
– At the end of the full 6 months, you’ll get first dibs at signing up for the next 6 month term!
We’ve got a new catalog going now – with all new colors and goodies to pick up – AND the next Mini Catalog will go live in September so this is a great time to be in a Club!
So – if you’re looking to build up your stash a little bit at a time – all while earning free product and Double Peppermints – without doing any extra work then…. It’s hard to find a downside, y’all!
Let me know quick as a bunya if you have questions or if you want one of the spots I have open!
If you need any stamping supplies, I’d be very happy to be your Demonstrator. Just click on the Order Stampin’ Up! Online Now button on the right side of the screen to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. Happy Stamping!
