Dawns Sunday Share 12-13-09

Hi Stampers : Happy Sunday Friends:)

This past week I  had to do something  that was very sad   for me  to do .. I had  to call  and cancel my Hubby's  ticket  for  the Stampin'Up! incentive trip ( Cruise )  I had  earned  to go on  in April 2010.

 As hard  as it  was  to  call and  cancel the  already arranged  itinerary  for this cruise  I  even  called my SAM ( Service account manager )  and  had a  Boo Hoo on her shoulder  She is sooo  AWESOME!! 

I had  arranged  back in Aug  for my Hubby  to be  my  1st  guest  for the cruise  and  we  were taking Jessie  as my add on  guest ( SU! gives  incentive  trip earners 2 FREE all expensense paid tickets for Cruise & Flight )  We  pay  for the  extra guests if we have  any ... well

  Hubby was my  1st guest  which was  FREE  I had pre paid  for the cruise part of the trip  for our Jessie  to go  back in Aug  and well  the  flight  info  for her  was  waiting  for  confirmation.

 I talked to hubby  and he  said  he wasn't able  to go  since  he is allowed  in states  for  30 days  within a  contract year  this  would not  allow him  to attend  Jessie's Graduation  in May  so  he made a choice  to NOT  go on  the cruise  with  Jess and I. Plus  He will be over in Iraq  for yet another year  this was  His  choice.  

The  good news is  they  refunded a % of  the  cruise  amount  we paid  for Jessie  and  also  made Jessie my  1st guest  instead of my hubby .. Praise God !

 As much as I  want my hubby  to go  with Jess & I on  my 1st  incentive trip  with SU!   I totally  understand  Very SAD but  I  understand :( Just wish  we could all be in 2 places at one time .

Starting  Tomorrow~ (Monday)  I will begin  sharing on Mondays  for the rest of the month  some samples/ sneak peeks   from the  Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration.

 All items in the  new mini catalogs  will be available starting on January 5, 2010 

  I have to share  with you  the photos I  took of my  Bowzer yesterday .. Jessie put one of her  t shirts on him  and what a HOOT!  Ever since Jessie was little  she has always dressed Bowzer  up in her clothes. He is  such a  sweet  doggie  cause he lets her  ..  Click on photos  to enlarge  your viewing

For my Sunday Share  I have a couple videos  for you  today .The 1st one  is from John Waller " While I'm waiting " this  video  will have  clips  from the movie Fireproof  which is AWESOME!

The 2nd video is one that compares  Jesus to santa .. Hummmm....Interesting  comparison  wouldn't you say ?

 

 

Until later ... Happy Stampin !

Have a Fabulous Sunday  friends :)

Oh Dawn! I'm so sad for you!!! BIG, BIG HUGS!!!!!! As sad as this is though, your husband has his priorities in order. As an Army wife, I know all about missing a husband in Iraq! More hugs!

Congratulations on earning the cruise - you so deserve it!

So cute on Bowzer!! Beautiful shares this week!!!!

I'm so sorry your family won't be together on the cruise, but since you are already sad...Jessie will probably be leaving home soon and what a lovely time you can have together. A mother/daughter trip can be awesome. I about died when my daughter left for college (one of our church's universities). The campus had webcams I would email her and tell her to run in front of the webcam just so I could see her! She called that stalking but it did give me peace of mind.Hope you can enjoy the cruise and your DH being home for Jessie's graduation.

Thank you for sharing your Sunday worship videos, messages and songs. I have drifted away from church over the years but been insprired to return as a result of watching.
Peace

I am so sorry to hear that your Husband can't go on the cruse with you! I know that must be so sad but you get to have time with your daughter sharing in something that you love! I am so happy that you get to go! Know you will have a most wonderful time and that God will be with you and your husband even though he will not be there with you both!

[Margie Geisler]

Sad news, however, I am sure you will cherish your mother/daughter time together. I absolutely love your Jesus/Santa video. Thanks for posting.

Congratulations on your 300th video. I hope you get back in abundance all that you give to us through your videos. You inspire me every week and I am so grateful that I found your waterfall card on youtube. I started with pre folded cards and stickers and now, I am making cards from folding 12x12 cardstock, stamping, embossing and adding glitter. I even did a window sheet card. I never thought I could do all the things in your videos. Thank you for sharing your ideas and for making such a difference. I do have a question - what is the top, best tape or glue to use on window sheets? I did a penguin Christmas version of the beautiful snowman card you did but worried the window sheet won't stay attached for mailing. Any suggestions? Thank you for everything and all the best today and always.

LOVED the videos you provided (snippets from FireProof and comparison between Jesus and Santa. Great stuff! Praise God! Sent it to my Pastor to watch too. Sorry your hubby cannot go, but the bright side is he WILL be there for her graduation and that's an important milestone in her life and Dad needs and wants to be there for her. Blessings to you and yours, Kathy, Reno, NV

Sorry your hubby wasn't able to go with you guys, but I bet you will still have an amazing time!!! Congrat's on getting to go on the cruise.

Your dog is so cute. I have a half choc lab half german shepherd and I have a thing for chocolate dogs, they are so cute :-)

Fireproof is one of my favorite movies. I have watched it so many times and have made other people watch it as well and they love it!

[Kayleigh]

sorry about your husband not being able to go with y'all, but I'm thankful for what he does, as I also serve in the army... I hope you enjoy your time with him while he's home and thanks for the santa/Jesus comparison... it's very true and a different way to show the true meaning of Christmas... have a great week! I look forward to your videos!

Oh Dawn, I don't know what to say, but my first thought was since this door has closed maybe the door that opens for you is to take your mom with you & Jess. I know it won't be the same, but it's an alternative. Unless you want me to go?

[Betty Goodson]

I'm so sorry your husband cannot go with you & Jessie, but cruises are great, especially free ones! Thank you for sharing all your great ideas and especailly for keeping us up-to-date on everything exciting coming from SU. Betty

Dawn,

So sorry hubby won't be able to go on the trip, but what a blessing that you'll have Jessie with you. How cute is Bowzer?!!!!
