Good morning and welcome to Monday!!! If Pool Boy and I get everything accomplished on the list by Wednesday morning we will be lucky, and DEFINITELY in need of a vacation. In these next 48 hours I have two stamping classes, two FB lives, a bible study, laundry to finish and suitcases to pack, and of all things a doctor’s appt out of town this morning. I’m just missing the partridge in the pear tree so to speak! It will all work out though, and come Wednesday – God willing – we will be heading to New Orleans!
We are NOT going to the big Super Bowl game but we are looking forward to the whole atmosphere, the food, and the travel with our friends the Primrose’s. Since the Chiefs will be playing the Eagles that means Pool Boy aka Andy Reid look alike will probably be photographed again but it’s all in fun. Throw in the whole pre-Mardi Gras atmosphere with beautiful weather slated, and it will be a fun getaway.
Serene Love With A Color Refresh!

Today’s card is a fun fold using the Serene Love DSP that has returned! You may remember it as a black/white DSP several years ago, but this year it’s in Lost Lagoon, Night Of Navy, and Old Olive. The card above is one from the POP UP CLASS I’m offering below, the greeting is from the stamp set Hope You Know, and the floral images were simply snipped from the DSP itself!
Serene Love POP UP CLASS Offering!!

It’s time for another POP UP CLASS!!! Pop Up classes are ones that I work into my schedule – no idea when they are going to happen, so you just have to be watching. These classes are product-based, so I have a FLAT FEE and then I package and ship the product to you, or you pop up to my front door and pick up. Tutorials with pictures are emailed to you, and you craft at home in your leisure using the products you have in your supplies!
The Serene Pop Up Class includes the following:
- A full package of the Serene Love DSP
- 24 coordinating sheets of Night Of Navy, Old Olive, and Lost Lagoon
- A full package of Riverside Irregular Pearls
- 8 Card kits included with all bases and mats, 5 of which are funfolds! – you simply cut your DSP to the measurments
- The emailed tutorial with photos and directions to create at home!
All of this for $40!!! YOUR GOODY BAG ALONE is valued at over $33 before ship/tax, AND you get the card kits and tutorial. I used Night of Navy, Lost Lagoon, and Old Olive inks, and the stamp sets Hope You Know and Botanical Layers. The Botanical Layers stamp set was a Sale-A-Bration item I had multiple of from last year and I had a limited number, but you can substitute ANY foliage stamps and greetings you have in your stamping arsenal! Add $10 if I am shipping the class to you by mail.
To sign up for the SERENE LOVE POP UP CLASS, either email me at flickoftherist@gmail.com or text/message me at 660-651-6997 to be included BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7.

Final Thoughts…..
February is my Stampin’ Up Anniversary month, and it’s my time to celebrate with you! During the month of February I will be offering free bonus products, shopping specials, AND some final drawings on February 28 as a way of saying thank you for supporting my small business. More details to follow, so a busy month ahead! AND I’ll be sharing our New Orleans trip with you as well, so be sure to check back in to see what’s on tap and where we are.
Until then, have a great day doing whatever makes you happy, and God Bless!!!
