I am back from the Chattanooga Stampin’ Up! Regional on Saturday. Boy what a fun and exciting day! I loved spending the day with so many friends, learning new stamping ideas, and stamping. And I made it through my on stage presentation! I really don’t remember what I said or if I was even talking in complete sentences. You know how sometimes you think something in your head but all of it doesn’t really come out of your mouth. I’m wondering now if I did that. Well I’m going to put together a tutorial for the project and post it soon so it will have all the steps and hopefully fill in any of the blanks I left during the presentation.
Here is my name up on the big screen –
And here is a picture that my friend Christine got of me up on the stage –
I’m getting more pictures from my friends but Christine was right in the front row so she got a really good one. And here are the projects that I showed.
They hung all the ideas up on the board so everyone could get pictures of them. But I took some pictures at home too so here are my close ups –
Googly Ghouls Halloween treat bags
No Peeking Holiday treat bags
I like to do things in 3s a lot of the time – probably because I have 3 boys so I always buy treats and gifts in 3s and prefer to have the same item for each but in a different design. These little bags fit 3 chocolate nuggets perfectly and also the mini kit kat bars (I used those in the Halloween treats). Here are some more ideas –
Snowflake Chapstick bags
School treat bag filled with Smarties – 3 packs fit perfect in here!
And a pretty Sunflower Treat bag – filled with chocolate of course!
I’ll be working on the tutorial and hopefully have it for you later this week!
Thanks so much!
Hi Monika, I was there on Saturday and you did a great job!! Thanks so much for sharing all of your ideas and for the pictures you’ve posted here!!

Monika, Your presentation and project was fabulous and you talked in complete sentences!
Thanks Leishman. I’m glad I completed my sentences – it was all a blur.
These are great, Monica! I wish I could have been there!
I’m glad you like them Mary.
Wish I could have been there to cheer you on.
Hey Michele! You would have been proud of me! I wish you lived so much closer and then you could have been there too.

Thanks Kathy!
You did a great job on Saturday, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Judi!
Saturday was wonderful…..and your presentation was the highlight! I loved your project and can’t wait to CASE it. I received an SU order today and got bubble wrap…oh no! I hope the 2 coming later this week have brown paper! LOL Thanks so much.
Oh no – I hope the others had brown paper. I am getting a few with bubble wrap but mostly still the brown paper. I’m glad you liked the presentation and the project.
congrats on a very siuccessful presentation at the regional…I have heard a lot of rave reviews from some of the LNS gals. In the meantime, I saw the darling Petite Pocket baggies you shared with us online and made a bunch for my coworkers…they LOVED them! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas! Jan Hoyt O’Fallon, IL
Thanks Jan – I’m glad your co-workers loved them.
Monika, I attended the Chattanooga Regional and I want to let you know you did a super job and I enjoyed your presentation so very much. You didn’t look nervous even a little.
I was very nervous – I guess that’s good it didn’t show.
