Judy's Stamp Pad: May Demo Dinner and Challenge

Hello! Boy we had a storm pass through yesterday. Is it me or are we experiencing an unusual record number of storms? I'm sure a lot of people were very nervous about another tornado wreaking havoc. Those poor people in Joplin! How tragic that so many lives were lost. My heart goes out to them. It's still unbelievable that no one was killed in our area last month.

Last Tues we met at Chevy's for our monthly Pieces of Heart Demo meeting. It was a special evening. It was Kristine's birthday! Plus we had a guest Demo, Kim Dent, join us - and we shared our altered jumbo clothespins creations.

Here is the cute "cake" Pam made for our birthday girl.

Now how did the staff know it was her birthday???? Hmm , free ice cream AND a sombrero!

I failed to get photos of Pam & Steve and our special guest, Kim. Speaking of Kim - her home was destroyed in the tornado that passed through our area last month. Pam decorated a box that was set out at the Celebrate Summer Demo Event to collect donations for Kim. Pam presented the donation box to Kim at our dinner meeting. (It was the first time any of us met Kim.) She was overwhelmed by the generosity of fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. Let's just say there were some tears shed. Kudos to Pam for her thoughtfulness and taking the initiative to help a Stampin' Sister in need! Kim is a super sweet lady and we now have an awesome new friend!!!

We also enjoyed seeing everyone's altered clothespins. Here they are:
