Great Gift Ideas

Today is Small Business Saturday and as an independent demonstrator, my business of one counts as small. This weekend is typically the one where most Christmas presents are bought, so I thought I'd share some ideas with you. Order at sueroot.stampinup.net.  As always, use the current hostess code (in right sidebar) to get a free thank you gift from me.

Of course you can make someone a nice assortment of cards. Hand crafted cards are an always appreciated, always useful gift.

Stampin' Up! offers a large assortment of kits. The following two kits have everything needed to create 20 cards. Both come in a cute box that can be easily wrapped or decorated.
