The New Stampin' Up! Catalog is here!

It's rather old news ... I've been on vacation.   If you haven't received a new catalog and aren't working with another demonstrator, let me know via email (bzstampin@live.com) and I would gladly send you your own copy.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

I just realized that today is my 5th Anniversary of signing up with Stampin' Up!   Wow ... where does time fly ... and WOW how many wonderful friends and stampin' buddies I've met in five short years.   If you would have told me 10 years ago when I was a full time Realtor in Pennsylvania that in ten years I would be "retired" from real estate and stamping for a living, I would have told you you were crazy ...  

Paper Pumpkin is Half Price

Yes, My Paper Pumpkin is now half price ... only until May 23rd ...

Stampin' Up's Retired List is Out!

A great day today in the Stampin' Up! world.   The retired list is out AND ... FREE SHIPPING until this Friday, 4/25/14.   So, what does this mean to you ... you can go to my online site, order as little or as much as you want, and it will be shipped directly to your home with no waiting for me, the middle man, and no minimum shipping charges involved ...

Retired List Coming Out Monday

It's almost that time of year for Stampin' Up's new catalog to come out .... June 1st.  This coming Monday, April 21st, they will be putting out their retired list.  All items on the list will be "as supplies last".  So check back on Monday for the list.  If there are items on the list you can't live without, be sure to get an order in asap before they're gone for good.  You can either order online or email me your order.

If you need a cute, quick Easter favor, here's one for you.  Simply cut a piece of DSP (orange) 6×6".  Fold in half to make a triangle.  Unfold and fold sides down to center fold line (like we used to make kites).  Fold bottom point back.  Use red tape to secure the carrot box.  Cut a 4x6" piece of green cardstock or DSP.  Horizontally cut slits to form the stalks.  See photo, may make more sense.  Fill with Easter candy ... and have a very Happy Easter!

Stampin Retreat Spring 2014 - WOW

Getting ready for 35 gals to come to Asheville, NC, and stamp for 3-5 days is no easy feat, but we did it!!!!   And what a fun, fun time.   We used to come up on Thursday ... I was convinced to start coming up on Wednesday night ... and this time they convinced me to come up on Tuesday night ...  Seriously considering coming up Monday night next year.   We just don't seem to have enough time to play!   No cooking, no cleaning, no bed making ... just play and enjoy home-cooked meals prepared for us all day!
