Possible Shipping Delays

Hi there,

It's been a hectic few days, but hopefully things will be back to semi normal next week and I'll have some fresh posts for you.

I just stopped by because I saw an important message from Stampin' Up! warning of possible shipping delays because of the release of the "last chance" retirement list, June Specials and new catalog Pre-order for demonstrators. If you place orders, please allow extra time for delivery.

Isn't this a fabulous problem to have in the current economy?

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Enjoy a fabulous weekend!

No Posts For A Few Days

Hi there,

It's garage sale week this week at our house and so please forgive me if I don't have time to post for a few days.

June 1st is the big day for the retirement list to be launched, so be sure to check back and I'll keep you updated on the latest and greatest news. There's going to be up to 50% off some retiring sets too - I think, no official news on that, but I heard it on the grape vine.

By the way, if you live locally, why not pop in to visit my garage sale, of course I'll have some retired Stampin' Up! and hand made items for sale.

Penguin Punch

I know it's an odd time of year to post a Holiday card, but you can never start too early and I wanted to show you this, just in case anything on the card "retires" next month.

I have to say that punches are among my favorite things to use - they have endless possibilities. You really are only limited by what you can think to do with them.

Talking Birds

Isn't this cute? Just imagine the smile on someone's face when they open an envelope and see these cute talking birds. It makes me smile just thinking about it.

Spring Flowers

I don't know why but this image reminds me of Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit.
