Friday Idea!


10 days till school starts for us...I don't know if I am more scared or excited. This will be my first year to send one of my babies off to cared for by complete strangers. I think I will need a cocktail or two or maybe drop the cocktail give me the hard stuff to get me through the first day of school. Wouldn't that make a good impression? Truth be told just thinking about the hard stuff I already have a headache and I think I may have to lay down. Maybe just a caffeine beverage will do. Enough about that lets move on to the fun stuff.

The new catalog is beautiful, I know I said that last Friday but I mean really it is great! Use to you could look at the catalog online and you still can but they turned it into a PDF file and it takes forever to download and by forever I mean I have yet to get it to download. Stampin' Up is trying to pair their online catalog with their new online ordering and well guess what? There are some kinks to be worked out. I do still have 2 copies left if you want one for yourself. New this time is a spanish supplement where they have taken some of the "wordy" stamp sets and translated them to Spanish for our Spanish speaking customers. I have a copy of that if you are interested I can let you borrow, but I don't have any for sale.

I will turn in my first order for the New catalog on August 29th, if there is something that you want or need just let me know.

Technique Tuesdays: As we get ready to send our babies back to school, I thought it would be fun if we went back to school too. So starting in September I will start teaching a technique class each month. If there is a technique that you have seen that you would like to learn how to do let me know and I will be happy to put it on my list of technique classes. The first technique class will be on embossing and it will be held on Tuesday Sept. 16th at 9:30-11:00. We will learn how to use embossing powders with our stamp sets, each person will make 5 cards and the cost will be $5. Please RSVP by Sept. 9th.
