Missy Shipman of Glad Heart Stampers and I are celebrating a milestone—25 years of crafting magic with Stampin’ Up! Missy is one of the most positive people I know, which makes today’s project even more special! <br><br></br>

I LOVE the start of a new year, and I had lots of plans that I couldn’t wait to dive into. Life throws curveballs, and sometimes, like me when I ruptured both eardrums on January 2nd, it disrupts even the best-laid plans. But instead of getting bogged down, I chose to steep myself in gratitude and positivity. It's a mindset dear friends! <br><br></br>

Missy and I teamed up to kick off 2024 with a tea-riffic paper share class, offering this adorable tea bag wallet and card as a bonus for anyone who placed orders during the class.<br><br></br>

At one of my last classes, I surprised my guests with a special treat! I gave each guest a Ube Snowman Treat Box! If you are unfamiliar with what UBE is, it is a purple yam that has a sweet, coconut like taste. Ube is popular here in Hawaii in all kinds of dishes and even desserts!<br><br></br>

This little box is made from one of our new scalloped gift card boxes. If you don’t want to use this box as a gift card holder, just remove the gift card insert and you’ll have space for a fun treat! Want to see the fun “UBE” themed treat I placed inside this box? Watch the video. <br><br></br>
