STAMPS- INK- PAPER

Stampin' Up! Info first - Did you notice my little tag up here? The retiring list is coming!! If you want to order for Christmas gifts, orders must be in before December 15th to ensure Christmas delivery. Stampin' Up! does not offer expedited shipping right before Christmas. So, make up your lists and check them twice! Don't forget to put Stampin' Up! on your list - I'll be taking gift certificate orders until December 20th if you want little goodies to go with the gift certificate.

The retired list will be good until December 31 so if there are items from the current catalog that you want you'll want to spend your gift certificate before Dec. 31. Otherwise, you can wait for the exciting date of January 1 when the New Spring/Summer Collection catalog will begin with many new stamp sets and exciting projects!

Oh yes, if you're wondering about Sell-A-Bration (now called Sale-A-Bration)- We'll look forward to that anticipated event to happen in February/March. Keep posted for more info and I'm taking Workshop bookings through March!

Hey! I've missed blogging for a while. I've been trying to find some interesting things to share with all of you, but I am at a creative block. So, I've decided today to share pictures from Friday night's Stamp-A-Stack I had here. It was a lot of fun and for the 1st time I think everyone finished their cards before going home! Now That's Incredible! Here are some pics of the girls working hard. Big Kudos go out to Laura for traveling all the way from Evart to join us.

This was her 1st time stamping and she did a marvelous job! I think she's hooked! Me thinks she will be joining us again! (Evart is about 1.5 hour drive north of here). Whew!

And.. Melinda gets the "stay up late award" as once again she was the last to leave - only because she's awesome & we always have such fun - I really love having her here - she keeps things hopping! Plus, Melinda knows the catalog better than I do!

Hey, my DGF Julie even made it to stamp (see cards for a cure post about Julie). Who BTW had her last chemo treatment yesterday! Woo Hoo! She still has a little ways to with radiation, but she is keeping herself in the loop and is just being her fantastically awesome self! So glad Jules could make it. She even brought her DD Rachel who hung out with Sophie (Rachel is Sophie's BGF) until 11:00pm! They thought that was pretty cool!

Even Nolan had a good time. (Isn't he adorable?)He always enjoys having people over to stamp. He's quite the show off -Plus he really likes Miss Maegan (above left) who got a really nice "good night hug" from him.

Last pic here I am sharing with you is of the little Halloween treats I made up for both Sophie & Nolan's classmates. I had found the little spider rings at the dollar store (50 to a package - perfect amount for both classes). I used the ribbon punch to make the hole to hold them in the candy holder. I also put a McDonalds coupon and a laffy taffy in their little boxes for them to enjoy. I got the pattern from splitcoast stampers. I used some retired SU designer paper (can't remember the name), the scallop circle punch, 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 circle punches and the cutest Halloween stamp set - "Batty for You". I love the little Frankenstein saying "trick or treat, smell my feet".

Just a reminder: I still have the blog candy for the 100 hits to my guest book. Let me know that you visited by signing my guest book!
