:) I have so much fun making these with my daughter, and I'm able to support my local "Stamping Up" consultant (who hopefully will continue to browse my catalogs ~ by the way, I'm doing a November catalog show for her, so if you think you want this set, let me know and I'll give you the website). These aren't fancy.... Basically you can circle whatever "date" you schedule your party. Can use whatever theme you want (I plan to do Halloween next year),... make for a Hanukkah-themed latke-making show, Cookie swap and classes, Christmas, Valentine's, spring flowers, all the holidays, and for cooking classes - to invite school mates.).

Anyways, I wanted to share. I LOVE making them (it's peaceful being creative).

Susan :)

Shoot - I thought they were uploaded but turms out they are too big. Carolyn, I'm going to email you. Any chance you can figure out how to get them in here for me?

I'm about to leave for an appointment.

I'm hoping to create little "Un-Party" invites that catalog/web hosts can hand out that fit in their purses. :) Having too much fun. I have had to cancel ALL of my live shows until 2008 at least - having 2 non-life-threatening surgeries in next 6 months. More on this later. Having to kiss good-bye the trips I'm ontrack for - unless I squeak by with recruiting and catalog/web shows...
 
here they are...

Guess I shouldn't quit my PC job? lol. (j/k). These pictures don't show them well - no idea how to keep my flash from flashing. Thanks for looking everyone. "No response" is probably the friendly response, eh? :)

OK, I feel bad that no one has responded! I think they are cute, but they do look like a younger person made them. If you were going to have a party with your family and close friends I think they would appreciate it. Others might think they are not so professional.

I really hope I didn't offend you. I do think they are cute!

Nope not offended. Little things (like the invites) make me happy. They really look more... can't think of the name. But they were created for kids cooking workshops, so maybe I hit the target after all. Thanks for your honest opinion. It's what I asked for. Never hard feelings for hearing opinions. :) I apologize for making others feel uncomfortable.
