Clearance Rack Blitz Begins Today

	From December 15, 2011, through January 5, 2012, nearly 200 products are being added to the Clearance Rack in the Online Store--with some discounted up to 80 percent!  Visit the Online Store to take part in the savings! (Within the Online Store, in the Clearance Rack Blitz category, there will be some identical punches that have two different item numbers; this is because SU is using inventory from both their American and  European warehouses. We will indicate which punches this affects in the product description.

Yippee!!

Good news!  I picked up a Take Ten magazine this weekend.  While looking through it, what do I find but one of my cards on page 73 (and highlighted again on page 125)!!  If you get a chance, take a glance through the Summer 2011 issue of Take Ten and you'll see this card:

 

I sent about 17 cards in to Take Ten last January and have been checking the magazines monthly.    I have had cards published in the magazine before.  They are supposed to send out a complimentary copy when you are published, but I've only received a complimentary copy once before and I've had 4-5 cards published.  Well, I had to eat my words this time.  When I got home today, there was my Summer 2011 Take Ten waiting for me (after I'd bought one!) with this note:

Isn't this cool?  Always nice to be recognized.

I want to remind you of the special that is going on until the end of May at Stampin' Up.  Since it is National Scrapbooking Month, they have several stamps for sale that are good for scrapbooking.  But, in my opinion, they are just as good for card making - especially Word Play.  Word Play is my "go to" set for sentiments.  I just love it!  It is a set of 12 stamps and the sale price for the clear set is just $20.27.   Another good one that is on sale is Printed Petals.  Anyway make sure you check out the special HERE and let me know if you want to take advantage of this special!

Summer Mini Ready plus Other Great Deals!

It's that time .... time for a new mini and do we have a doozy this time!!  I LOVE the Summer Mini and I think you will too.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

 I had a nice and quiet Christmas - just Sonny and I.  I told him we'd gone full circle - from when we first were married and it was just the two of us to now when our kids are gone and it is just the two of us once again!  We were able to "skype" with Ashley this morning and also with our bother-in-law and our niece and her kids.  Later in the day, we went to the movies.  Now we know where everyone goes on Christmas!   To the movies.  We wanted to see True Grit but it was sold out so we ended up finding a couple of seats to see The Little Fockers.  It was funny and good entertainment.

One of the neatest things about today was the snow!  It was my first white Christmas!!  It snowed almost all day and was so pretty!  In fact, as I'm writing this post, it is 11:00 pm and it is STILL SNOWING!! We probably have a couple of inches with more predicted for tonight and tomorrow.  My family is supposed to come over tomorrow for our family Christmas.  Sure hope they are able to - I've been making casseroles and salads for a couple of days!  I would hate for Sonny & I to have to eat it all ourselves.  We're about sick from all the junk  we've eaten today!

This was taken about 5 pm - my Steeler man is getting cold blowing in the wind!

Now that Christmas is over, the next holiday celebration is Valentine.  Did you know that Valentine's Day is the second biggest holiday for sending cards?  Stampin' Up has a Filled With Love Promotion going on.  During the Filled with Love promotion, you can get an exclusive package of Designer Series Paper perfect for creating cards for family, friends, classmates, and more!  From December 17, 2010 through January 24, 2011, you can get a FREE package of Bitty Buttons--a $4.95 value--when you purchase an exclusive Filled with Love Bundle.  For details - click HERE.

Contact me with your order OR you can order on-line from me.
