Ok, Stampers I need your help!

For the first time since 2001, I have fallen into pending status with my Stampin Up! demonstrator-ship. What this means, is that I have until the end of July to place a large enough order to keep me current. We have $300 quarterly minimums, and I didn't place/take $300 of orders in the last quarter.......

By end of July I need at least one big order, of $150 or more, then the rest can be in August or September.

So that means I can find 6 ppl who want to place a $25 order, or 5 with $30 order, or 3 with a $50 order, you get the picture.

If you can help me out, take a look at my website for a link to view the new catalog. I promise you will not be disappointed by the new stuff!

Need a book list? I got yer book list right here....

I think my book list ate my books. I could swear there were more books under the typelist that I titled "I have a little reading problem..." So I started a new list, just in time for your summer reading. So pick from either if you are looking for a summer beach/pool/backyard hammock read. But I offer my disclaimer, most of it is chick lit.

If you could bring back a canceled tv series, which would you choose?

If you could bring back a canceled tv series, which would you choose?
Submitted by The Good Girl Gone Blog.

Life on Mars. Hands down......   actually, that or Pushing Daisies or Dirty Sexy Money. I can't choose one. All three need to be back. Nothing like a bit of UN-reality show to distract you from the everyday, mundane, existence......

Plus Jason O'Mara is hhhhhh-ooo-ttttt!! sizzlin hot. Love me some of that......

Go Here Now. $10 feeds two soldiers for July 4th!

Pizzas 4 Patriots

is a non profit organization founded by a retired Air Force seargant and his family. He also is an AT&T employee in the area here in IL. He and his son were eating pizza prior to last fourth of July and his son asked if they had pizza in the Middle East. After explaining that the soldiers did get plenty of other food, but not pizza, they baked up a plan to deliver pizza to the troops. Following is an excerpt of a story from last year:

Forget the 300 Lou Malnati's pizzas that the Air Force veteran wanted to send to U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan for a Fourth of July event.

Try 3,000.

After a Daily Herald story about the "Pizzas 4 Patriots" idea he hatched with his 16-year-old son Kent, Evans has received an outpouring of interest from people who want to help.

Soldiers will get a taste of Chicago As of Tuesday, he was on track to send 3,000 of his favorite Chicago-style pizzas to the Middle East.

This year their goal is 25,000 Pizzas. But they need our help. $10 will feed pizza to two soldiers. Donations can be made at their website via a paypal link OR you can mail checks to their P.o. box.

Please help if you can.

From June 4th - July 4th --Show your American Pride!

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think?
While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic
products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the
media wrings its hands and criticizes the ex-Bush, ex-Clinton Administration for perceived
errors.

Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the
Chinese should be suspended.

Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF,
AMERICA
!!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says
'Made in
China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong
),
simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at
how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally
amazed at what you can do without.

For example: Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter?
If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some
American farmer. Easter is just ane example, the point is do not
wait for the government to act.
Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS:
If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods,
that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch
from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhh !!!

The solution?
Let's give them fair warning and send our own message.
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning
on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4.

That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese
for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports.. Then they will at least
have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and
lawlessness were worth it.

Remember,
June 4 to July 4.


EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans
and NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives,
that means the dollar spot at Target and most everything in all of the dollar stores elsewhere.....
WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on,
America
