It's Here!!

Happy Holidays! I can't believe only a few short days until Christmas! My schedule is so off course - but I am gaining speed. I have a goal to get my Christmas cards done by Thursday - better late than never right?

Last night I had a few girls from my downline over to celebrate and brainstorm ideas for the new catalog coming up. I gave each of them one of these adorable Christmas trees I made from the cerise designer paper. I love making these trees and especially like the curled edges of this one. It really makes all the patters stand out.

There is lots of new to share with you today. Yesterday I got my new Spring/Summer 2008 Collection catalog. I can't wait for all of you to see it. There are some really fun new sets and some great new accessories to try out. I love the new glitter (how's that for a tease?). I have a couple of boxes of the catalogs ordered and they should be here on my doorstep in a matter of days. If you would like one of these and would like to be one of the first to get your hands on one, feel free to call me and let me know. Catalogs are $10 or free when you book a workshop. Remember - there are some great specials to take advantage of which I will share with you. The "Wrapping Up the Holidays" promotion has been extended until December 31. Take advantage of 20% savings on the tags stamp set, some pre-cut paper and tins for decorating - to name just a few. Click on the link above for more information.

Next once again is the Fall/Winter Collection 2007 Retiring List. Here is a list of all the stamp sets that are retiring as of December 31st. Order by the deadline and enjoy 10% off any retiring sets when you mention the 10% discount. Enjoy 15% off retiring sets and accessories when you book a workshop in January-March! And when you place your retiring order and book your workshop for January, February or March you will also get your Free copy of the new 2008 Spring/Summer Collection catalog! Looky at the cover - isn't it pretty? There are even some embossed flowers on the cover of this one - you can't tell by the pic, but they are there. Very pretty!

There are some retiring accessories going to and some of the stock is already depleted. You can view the list of retiring accessories at the bottom of my blog page. The cerise designer paper used for my Christmas tree above is one of the items retiring - I"m so sad to see that one go.

I will be having some new and exciting classes coming up. There is a really great chance there will be one in January already. We'll be doing something more than cards and maybe even a few scrapping classes! I'll be making some changes to the way I hold classes and workshops. As mentioned, I will be offering classes to everyone beginning in January, but if there is ever a time you want to come to a class, but cannot make it on the date I have scheduled, I will be offering my classes as a workshop based event for you and your guests upon request! That way you never need to miss an event to learn a new technique! I'm really excited about the new ideas and I hope you'll stay tuned for my list.

For now, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and blessed holiday season. May we all remember the true meaning of the reason for the season.
