Simply Stars....they are AMAZING!

Today's post is going to be a bit gushy, so be prepared!  Last night was such an AMAZING evening!  Jodie hosted our "Stampin' Up! year end BBQ" for my Simply Stars Stampin' Up! team!  Thank you Jodie (who successfully avoided all of my photos???) for the use of your house and great hospitality!  Thank you to my team for bringing such YUMMY treats!  I am so lucky to be surrounded by a terrific bunch of ladies!  I wish all my downline lived closeby and were able to attend, but unfortunately this isn't the case.  But each of my team members are a valuable member and I'm always so excited when I get together with my team because we have so much fun together!  Thanks ladies!!!  We were in no shortage of food last night, the snacks, dinner and desserts were so good!  Belinda (the one in the top row photo with me beside the cake) made this fantastic cake for the BBQ using our Simply Stars logo!  Isn't that just too fun!?!?!?  It looked (and tasted) AMAZING!   For the BBQ, I made a little treat bag thanks to each of the girls that came (bottom right) from the Big Shot and of course they held a little bit of chocolate! 

Martha (gray sweatshirt in the middle) asked if she could be in charge of the make and takes.  I'm not one to disagree so she came up with the sweetest chapstick holder butterfly projects.....is it not too sweet????  The butterflies are from the Big Shot using the Bella Rose DSP.  There is one on the front and one on the back of the chapstick holder.  Wouldn't this be so sweet for a party favour for a birthday or even a shower?  It could even work for a baby shower!  Possiblities are endless!!!

Well, thank you so much ladies to ALL my Simply Stars (those that were in attendance and those that couldn't come)  I appreciate all you do and am very thankful to have you on my team!  Have a great day!

That chapstick holder is really cute. Do you think Martha would tell how it's made? I think the idea is a wonderful one and would be a great gift!

Thanks for sharing the picture of the beautiful idea.

Would Martha share the info for that butterfly chapstick holder. My grandaughters birthday party is this Sat. and she has asked for a butterfly theme. So grandma aka ME is making her the cake and butterfly pretzel rods, and cookies, and butterflies hanging from the trees...need I go on. Anyway these would be adorable

thanks

I just wanted to thank Jodie for letting us meet and use her beautiful home for the BBQ we had last night. It was a great success & I had a great time. I never got to taste the lovely cake that Belinda made but I bet it was really good. The many different foods were really great & the company was even better. I did have one of Dale's tasty cupcake's. WOW it was good. Thanks again to everyone for letting me be a part of such a great team. I am blessed for having met everyone of you fantastic ladies & letting me get to know & learn from all of you. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Thank-you Heather for being our very talented up-line I'm sure everyone will agree that we get alot of inspiration for you & your enthusiasm. Also thank-you Martha for the really cute make & take. I loved it too.

Your stamping friend,
Janey
