Hey y’all! Happy Tuesday! As many of you know – thanks to all your help these past 12 years – I hit the $1M Personal Sales Milestone with Stampin’ UP! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the support from you – from my cards – to the weekly videos – and Zoom the Craftrooms! It means the world to me!
I found out that I’d hit the mark when I got a call from Sara Douglass – our CEO! TBH – I actually MISSED her call! But when I called her back – she was so nice and congratulatory! It was a very fun phone call.
I have to say – if someone had told me – back in 2018 – (when I fan girl’d with Sara on that Alaska cruise!) that I’d hit this sales level – and that Sara would one day call ME! – I’d have flat fallen out laughing!! 😂
That same week – I got a big ole box in the mail….and…it was from Stampin’ UP! On the inside, there was a gorgeous bouquet and…the most wunnermus congratulations card!
The card is amazing – starting out with the box-envelope. The uber-talented Stampin’ Up! desingers used Linen Thread and ribbon and layers..SO “me”!
Like a Russian matryoshka doll – this beauty just keep revealing more and more layers!
The card itself opened…
…and opened….
…and finally…
Wowza!!
There was even a spot for a nice hand-written note from Sara and Shelli!
They even decorated the back!!
Talk about attention to detail! Make’s “no nekkid envelopes” pale in comparison!
And no – you’re not going to find a tutorial or video for this one, y’all – sorry. It’s well beyond me! LOL!
A couple days later – ANOTHER delivery arrived – this time from my amazeballs upline and friend – Amy Koenders!
Sunflowers and ranunculus and roses and….uhm. Yeah – I got nothin’. Don’t even know if there ARE any ranunculus in there (but you were impressed there for a minute, admit it!). But it is just stunning!
And – when it arrived – it had a GINORMOUS Congratulations balloon! Finn was…intrigued!
It’s been so fun, y’all – and I for sure wouldn’t have reached this without YOU guys!! So – thank you thank you thank you!!
Now – before I go.. I want to be sure you saw that we have…a Stamp-TACULAR Flash Sale starting TOMORROW!!

Finn Fan Fix 
Last night, Addy got in her little bed and…that toy right there – the yellow one – scared her.
It…squeaked!
Well, technically – the MOUSE toy inside squeaked!
So – she left and found a better – quieter – place to sleep!
Leaving the bed empty and – arguably fair game – for The Big Furry.
Who…ALSO appropriated the mouse.
See it?

Congratulations Mary on reaching this milestone! Can’t wait to see what stamp set you design!
Thanks, Kathy – no telling what I’ll come up with! 🙂
I couldn’t be happier for you, Mary on achieving this milestone! Congratulations! The card that Stampin’ Up sent you is amazing! The flowers are beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing them with us!
The pups, of course, are adorable! Finn seems to like that smaller bed…😊
He does like it – until he gets too hot then…got…to…stretch…ouuuuuuttttt! LOL! Thank you so much, my friend! 🙂
Congratulations Mary. Your award is well deserved. I enjoy your videos very much. Your humor, your “realness”, (mistakes and all) and your creativity makes it a fun 1/2 hour. Not only do I get a chuckle, but I learn things. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your stamp set.
P.S. And I throughly enjoy the antics of your “kids.”
Thanks, Carol – It’s really nice to hear that you enjoy the video and the un-edited-ness of them!! And – yes – the kids are such a huge part of everything!! :). Thank you so much!
Congratulations Mary! Great great job!!!!
Thank you so much, Lila – I appreciate the kind words and all the support! 🙂
Congratulations! What an amazing achievement, you’re an awesome demonstrator. I love how you interact with us on YouTube. Thanks for not only sharing your card making skills, but your serenading skills too! You not only teach us, you entertain us as well. You make your videos fun, you inspire us. Thank you, and congratulations again you’re awesome!!!
Aww – thank you so much, Rue – I have more fun that seems right doing those videos!! I really enjoy them – the only thing better would be to do the whole thing on Zoom – or in my kitchen! Many thanks! 🙂
Congratulations on your achievement!! That’s amazing Mary! So happy for you, you’ve worked so hard for it!! ❤️ Poor girl, that mouse is about as big as she is! And that bed looks like it’s the perfect size for Finn. 😂
He can get squished up pretty little when he needs to! And that mouse IS big! It’s all about perspective, right!? Thank you so much, Amy – and…thank you for being the amazing mentor and friend that you are! 🙂
Yay for you! What fun! Congratulations over and over! So happy for you and wonderful wishes for more success—and more layered cards.
Thank you thank you!! It’s been fun!! 🙂
Congratulations!! Job well done and deserved 👏
Thanks very much, Lynda! 🙂
Congratulations Mary! Such a milestone in your stampin up career.
Thank you so much! 🙂
When I first started stamping I asked 3 different demonstrators how I should start. You were the one that gave me the advice that made sense. I knew at that point that you were headed for “Greatness”! am so very happy for you.
PS: the restaurant where we had lunch is closing at the end of the month. What a view. What a lunch.
I can’t believe that lovely spot is closing – the end of an era, indeed! I remember that lunch – and our other nice times, too. You really helped me enjoy that TDY – and get my feet under me in Stampin’ Up! Thank you, my friend! 🙂
Congratulations Mary! You certainly deserve the honor!
Thanks so much, my friend! 🙂
Congratulations!! You are amazing!! I follow your blog every day and I must say I CASE your cards (tru confession – and one other blogger)the most. I am small potatoes demonstrator so I don’t have all the “stuff” you have but I adjust or switch to what I have. My card classes (I’m a retired teacher – once a teacher, always a teacher) are smaller after Covid and the small local post offices around here are sticklers for thickness of envelopes so I may not have as many layers or dimensionals as you put on a card. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for your daily inspiration you put on your blog!!!
Oh thank you so much, Linda – that’s really nice! It makes me really happy to know that you like my cards enough to CASE them and use them in your classes!! Thank you! 🙂
Oh Mary! I don’t have enough words to say how HAPPY I am for you! Many congrats! 🎉
Also I must add: the pic of Finny contemplating your balloon from Amy is the cutest. I love the look on his handsome face. 😍
Yes – he was not at ALL sure that that thing belonged in HIS living room!! LOL! Thank you SO much for the very kind words, my friend! 🙂
Mary,
Congratulations on your Million Dollar Sales!!! You work so hard for this – well deserved.
Thank you, Gerri – I appreciate the kindness! 🙂
Mary, Congratulations on making the 1 million dollar achievement. I love following you. You make beautiful cards and deserve this accolade.
Thank you so much for the very kind words!! 🙂
Awesome Mary!! I can’t wait to see the Stamp Set you design!!!🎉👏🏻💖😘
Thank you, ma’am!! We’ll see what I come up with! 🙂
Congratulations!!!!!
Thank you so much! 🙂
