Happy Holidays!

Wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday! We will be up and running again with new workshops after the first of the year. We will start off our year with a Valentines workshop. I am thinking of doing Classroom gifts and then an adult valentine card workshop to make adult valentines to send out.

You should of received a the spring-summer mini in the mail. There is a special Valentine bundle in there which gets you a free spool of ribbon and a workshop incentive...host a $350 workshop and choose a free stamp set out of the mini in addition to all the other yummy hostess benefits you get. If you want to host a workshop in Feb. let me know so that I can get you on the books.

Retired list is out!

The list of retired stamps is out and you can view it at www.stampinup.com. I personally did not see anything on the list that was earth shattering. If there is something that is retiring and you can not stamp without it, just let me know. We must order it before Dec. 30th.

The list of retired accessories is out also. Now on this list the thing that struck me as OH NO, PLEASE DON'T RETIRE! is the kids stamp pads. My oldest loves to stamp with me and I love to have her stamp with me but I do not LOVE To share my ink with her. Call me Greedy I know. Anyways the kids inks are great for her and they are washable, and anyone with a child under the age of 18 can fully appreciate the thought of washable anything. So if you have a young stamper in the house you might want to consider this. I am not sure if there will be new ones in the new catty or if they are gone for ever. I am ordering the rest of Maddie's collection just in case.
