Summer Mini 2010 is coming to an end!

Isn't this a fun way to use your empty treat cup box? If you've ordered either our round or heart shaped treat cups you'll know that the box they come in is just tooooo "posh" to just throw away, you can't resist turning it into something.......

Remember when I turned it into a snowman last winter?


I love this stamp set, it reminds me of times past and all the fun travel adventures we've had over the years. If you love it too, don't forget this is the last week to order it from our Summer Mini - The Summer Mini ends with August, so don't forget to take one last look and make sure you don't miss out on all the items that will retire with that mini.

Pocket Treats

I couldn't believe how simple these treat pockets were to make as teacher gifts. I just had to show my ladies how to make them.

Using a 6 x 6" pieces of our new Greenhouse Gala designer series paper for the pockets and 3 1/2 x 3" pieces to wrap our mini treats shows a great way to show off any designer series paper. We have some fabulous Halloween paper coming in our Holiday Mini (Sept 1st), just imagine giving them out to your favorite trick or treaters this year..... Don't forget to add a Bitty Bat to the treat using our fun new punch.

Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set has a wish for every event, including Halloween and Christmas, what I love best is that you can punch them out with our word window punch and layer them with our modern label punch.

Ooooh, I forgot to mention that there is delicious Christmas paper coming up in the Holiday Mini too, so Holiday gifts will be a breeze.

Personally I'm looking forward to making these to put on my Mom's pillow each night when she comes to stay, I may even find some chamomile tea to put in one :-)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending time with Shirley, helping her pick out her Birthday gift from her dear husband, she's been itching to get the Big Shot and so together we picked out all the things she'd need to get started, along with a few other "toys" that she couldn't resist, Shirley's order qualified her to be her own hostess and so she also received a free Hostess stamp set and $15 free to choose anything she wanted from the catalog.

Thank you Shirley for choosing me to help you make this special purchase - your loyalty to my products and your friendship to our family means the world to me.

New Level 1 Hostess Set

Some of my favorite creations are inspired by special people....
A dear friend lost her Mom this summer. She inspired me to create this card to let her know I was thinking of her.
