Paper Pumpkin Sale-a-bration Special!

By Robyn Cardon - January 20, 2016 - 35 Comments

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

How is your week going so far?  Mine is pretty good.  The weather is very yucky, blucky and snowy today.  I think it’s beautiful but I don’t like to drive in it and I need to run to the PO and pick up my daughter for lunch.  

(This drives my family crazy but I like to drive into our driveway like this.  Can you see my outgoing tracks which are straight and then my incoming tracks with are squiggly?  I like to slide when it’s controlled.)

Last night as I was tucking my boys in bed I remembered that this was what it was all about.  My family comes first in all things.  🙂  I love them to pieces, even if they drive me bonkers sometimes.  I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Plus, they are so sweet when they are all sleeping.

Marvelous Monday Giveaway & Winners from Last Week!

By Robyn Cardon - January 18, 2016 - 133 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Marvelous Monday!  My kids are home for the day so I am going to be quick in My Pink Loft today.  We are going to go walk through the new Provo City LDS Temple this afternoon as a family before having our Family Home Evening.  If you are visiting Utah in the next month I would highly recommend adding this to your list of things to do.  Once the temple is dedicated in March, only members of the church with special permission (temple recommends) can go through the temple.  This is the one chance that those who are not of our faith get a peek into the beauties of these temples.  

I’m going to be super busy this week!  All of my class packages for Grateful Bunch Online Class will be in the mail tomorrow morning!  I’ve already scheduled the pickup with the post office.  I hope they bring a LARGE truck!  LOL!!  There are a LOT of huge packages!  It sure beats me lugging them into the post office myself.  🙂

My next class preorder will be posted tomorrow or Wednesday so don’t miss out!  You are going to love it!  I’m mixing up my schedule a little bit so for those of you who emailed me to get a little head start on what NOT to order, I’ve had to move them around.  Stampin’ Up! is now giving us demonstrators a live update on product that they are low on or that is on backorder.  This is going to help me with my classes so much!  I will start posting product that is on backorder to help you all out, too.  No worries on the other items if you are only ordering one of each.  For someone like me who orders large quantities of an item, it is good to know.  

THIS WEEK’S GIVEAWAY!
Big Shot Die Brush, Project Life Hello December Card & Accessory Bundle!
To Enter:
Please leave a comment below with a way that I can contact you when you win!  Remember that you get an entry for each comment you leave on each post until the 24th of January for your chance to win a Big Shot!

Spiritual Thought Sunday

By Robyn Cardon - January 18, 2016 - 42 Comments

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope your day has been relaxing and peaceful.  This morning I woke up to the most beautiful view.  We had a lot of snow this weekend and the clouds were super low.  It took my breath away.

Today I taught the Gospel Principles Sunday School class.  There weren’t many of us in there but that’s how I like it.  We were able to discuss what prayer is and what it means to us.  “Prayer is one of the greatest blessings we have while we are here on earth.  Through prayer we can communicate with our Heavenly Father and seek His guidance daily.”   I am grateful for prayer.
This evening the sun came out and the snow started to melt and it also was beautiful!
I will see you all back here tomorrow for a giveaway and a simple card that I put together over the weekend.  
Hugs,
Robyn

Saturday Greetings Everyone!


How is your day going?  Mine has gone by so super fast!  I got up, worked in my office for a bit, went to a wedding reception with my husband, out to lunch, and then back to my office to do some work.  In all honestly, I haven’t accomplished much today!  LOL!!  I did, however, film a quick video for you guys as a SURPRISE SATURDAY video!  I like that new title!  I’ll have to use it again sometime.  🙂


Don’t forget that this week I have TWO stamp set giveaways!  Also, you still have a chance to win a Big Shot that I am giving away!  For details, click HERE!

Chickens, Chickens, Chickens!
So, today was SUPER cold and I still had to go out at least two times to check on my babies chickens.  Do you see how they wait for me by the door as soon as they see me coming?  (It sure is nice to feel loved!)

But, like I said, today was COLD and I definitely was not dressed warm enough for this visit!

Here is little Po!  Do you guys remember when she was just an itty bitty baby??  She just started to squat this week, even though I promise she has layed at least 2 eggs in the past two months!

Here is a pic of Po after we got her.  Andrew brought her home from school after the class watched her hatch so we are basically all she has ever known.  She’s still a little stinker, too!  Very independent and likes to “fly the coop”! 

And last but not least, here is my favorite chicken of the week!  It’s Pepper, our green egg layer!  She is back to laying regularly again.  Boy, did I miss those cute green eggs.  I’m so glad I didn’t overreact and get rid of her.  She is back to being a sweetie pie and even likes me to pet her again.  YAY!!

Class Update
I’m so excited to say that ALL of my boxes for my Grateful Bunch Online Class arrived last night!  My UPS driver is so awesome!  I sent him home with 2 dozen fresh eggs for his trouble and also am going to help him start his own blog!  It’s funny the conversations he and I have about my business!  I get A LOT of boxes!  I’m grateful that we have the best UPS driver in the state of Utah!  Hello Lyle!

(There were still 2 other HEAVY boxes in My Loft that my husband brought up.  I tell you what…….  Punches are HEAVY in large amounts!  I am so happy that nothing was damaged in any of the boxes!  Thank you Stampin’ Up for your great packaging!  One of the workers even left me a cute thank you note in one of the boxes!)

Here are some of my class project packets layed out and ready to put in clear envelopes for class kits!  This is probably one of my favorite things about my online classes.  I LOVE getting the class ready, cutting the materials, packaging up the kits and shipping them to YOU!  Thanks for your support!

And, lastly, I would like to leave you with a picture of Madie with my mom’s hairless cat named Pearl.  She loves Madie and Madie loves her!  

I’ll see you all back here tomorrow for my Spiritual Sunday post.  I am teaching Gospel Principals tomorrow on “Prayer”.  Hopefully I have some awesome insights to share with you all tomorrow.   Have a wonderful Saturday night!

Hugs,
Robyn

Fabulous Friday – Team Swap & Chicken Update

By Robyn Cardon - January 15, 2016 - 57 Comments

Hello Everyone!

I can’t believe it is Friday!  This week has felt so weird to me because the kids have today and Monday off of school.  They are on vacation…… AGAIN!  LOL!  So I’m not sure how much I will be able to be in My Pink Loft but I will squeeze it in when I can.  We also woke up to a couple inches of fresh snow and it is still falling.  Kind of feels like Christmas again, minus the presents.  (Don’t tell anyone but our Christmas tree is still up!)  

My Pink Stamper’s Downline Monthly Swap
Each month we have a group team swap where we make the same card for as many who sign up for the swap, they send them all to me, I swap them out, and return X amount of different cards to the participants.  It’s a great way to get ideas for our business and a variety of cards to send out to our family and friends.  I LOVE my Stampin’ Up! downline.  They are becoming my family and I am so grateful for them!  Here is my swap for the month.  We had 26 sign up for January so I am excited to swap them all out tomorrow and get 25 more ideas!  Click HERE to learn more about joining my team!  (Don’t forget that you get to choose an additional $30 in product for Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration special!)
(I realized after I took this picture that I forgot to stamp the pink ribbon on the strings.  I will make sure I do that before I swap them out!)
Click HERE to order 24/7!
Chicken Update
I am SO SUPER EXCITED! Pepper, who lays green eggs, stopped laying during the Fall.  I thought maybe she was molting since she was losing some of her feathers even though it was way early for a molt.  I must have been right because 3 months later and we got a green egg yesterday.  I actually squealed out loud!  I was so happy!  Having backyard chickens brings me such great joy.  I think I am the only one in my family who feels this way.  I celebrated my green egg alone last night.  BOO HOO!!!  Seriously family…..  can you lay green eggs??!!
Grateful Bunch Class Update
As most of you know, this class filled up super fast.  I am happy to say that my class materials will be here TODAY!!  I am going to work all day on getting the class packets ready and might be able to get them in the mail by tomorrow or Monday morning!  
Upcoming Class
Because Grateful Bunch had such a fast turnover, I might be able to post my newest class THIS Tuesday or Wednesday!  Thanks for all the support everyone.  I LOVE doing my online classes!  I love designing the projects, cutting out the materials, filming the class online video, and making the packages up for you guys.  BEST JOB EVER!!
I hope to see you all back here tomorrow.  Hopefully I can squeeze in a quick video for you guys!
Hugs,
Robyn
