10-4-10 Club Help!

I need your help!

I have two 10-4-10 Clubs ready to start this month, & I am still short some Ladies! If you would like to join, or know of anyone who might be interested, please contact me ASAP!
Those of you who are not familiar with my 10-4-10 Club, here is how it works:

• I like to have 10 Ladies per club.



• Each Lady will be assigned a month she will be hostess. Here is the best part; she won't have to host a home party (that's optional, but you could get a lot more orders if you do) The Hostess doe's not have to do anything, because all the orders come to me, & when I get them all, I total them up & let the Hostess know how much she will get in Free Hostess Product that month!



• A minimum order of $10 a month (before S/H, & tax's)



• This is what you get for being in the club: Something fun & new you get to order each month at an affordable price of only $10. Free Idea Books while in the club. A free homemade project I send out each month. Free Hostess product the month your are Hostess. Exclusive incentives for my club Ladies. And so much more!

Each month I also hold a Club Meeting, it's optional to come to, but you can come by & make a free make & take, get a free stamp, & enter the drawing to win the nights door prize.

Contact me today if you are interested or would like more information!

Thanks so much!

Baseball Coach's Thank You Cards

Hunter's Orioles Team Hat & Thank You Card

Chase's Mariner's hat & Thank You Card

You can see the detail on this last picture of how much paper piecing the Mariners logo was. Those of you who use the Cricut know all about how the edges always look rough, but nothing I could do about that, but still worked out.

I like to make my kid's baseball Coaches Thank You cards at the end of the baseball season. Just thank them for taking the time to do what they do for the boys & their teams. I was playing around with my Silhouette & seen they had a card template in the shape of a hat, so of course that got me to thinking what a great idea that would be for the coaches. Then I thought how much better they would be if I could find the name or logo of their teams & put that on their hat card. So I googled their team names & added the SVG to it, & believe it or not, I found them! I still haven't had a chance to figure out how to cut non Silhouette on my Silhouette yet, but I was able to cut out the Orioles, & Mariner's logo out with my Cricut! (Have I told you how much I LOVE my Silhouette & Cricut machines?) Anyway, here they are after many, many tries of getting them the right size, colors, & everything else! The Orioles was easy, but the Mariner's logo, was piece by piece, but sure worth it when they were all done & finished! Sure hope the Coaches like them, but I do know some of the coaches wives loved them!

Thanks for looking!
