Been back since Thursday and it has been great to see all of you again.  I have lots of stamps, papers, and accessories galore coming in and they should be coming as early as NOW!!!  Here are pics of the new stamps that have already come in and have already gone out...

Hope you enjoy what is yet to come.
Thanks and see you soon.

More Pics from CHA

Go to this link.  It only holds 200 pics and then the old ones drop off.  For the Magnolia there are new images not on the website that I have ordered and will be coming in soon.  For the Greeting Farm there are stamps that only CHA attendees could order and they have been ordered and will be here soon, maybe even as fast as next week.  Come in to take a look at the designs of Magnolia and Greeting Farm when I get back on Thursday if you want any to be held for you.

All new papers and things ordered at CHA will be here starting from the first week of February.  I will also be carrying a new electronic cutting machine and it is great.  Not the Cricut, not the new Eclips (too expensive), but a brand new machine.  It comes in 3 different colors; purple, pink, and white.  Of course I am ordering the pink for the store.  Come in to get more information and I am taking pre-orders for them.  They should be shipping out in March.

Thanks and there will be more to come.  See you soon.  I hope you are enjoying my posts about CHA.  I am enjoying being here, but want to come back.  It is cold here and I miss all my friends and family.

CHA Here We go

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that Jordan and I will be gone at CHA.  We leave early Friday morning and get back late Wednesday night, 1/22 to 1/27.  I will be back in the store on Thursday, 1/28.  I can't wait to show you all the neat things that I will see and learn.  Please visit the store after I am back so I can share with all of you.  The store will be open while I am gone and my eldest son, Eric, will be at the store.  I do have lots of things coming in while I am gone so make sure to come in and check it out.

Please keep checking the blog while I am at CHA as I will try to post pictures and/or videos every night.

Thanks and see you soon.

Shaker Card from Joy

Thank you so much for the wonderful and fun shaker card.  I LOVE IT!!!  I also love how you manipulated the bodies and heads of other stamps to make one girl, very weird science of you.  :>

Thank you again and I am so blessed to have customers/friends who give me these beautiful cards.  I also loved seeing all of you blogger friends out and about, even though the reason for the get together was not joyful.  Tell Teri that I am praying for her through this sad time in her life.

Thanks and see you soon.

Magnolia's Newest Collection

is called Raising the Ceiling and Right Through my Heart.  They have been ordered and should be here in about 2 weeks.  If you want to see the collection, please come by and you can place a pre-order so I can hold it when the order comes in.  Please come in by Thursday (tomorrow) or after Thursday (1/28) as I will be gone and Eric doesn't know how to do pre-orders.

Thanks and you are gonna love this collection, don't we love them all?  I did not order the whole collection, but most of them.  No papers this time...boo hoo!

Thanks and see you soon.

Magnolia Magazine

Is on it's way.  They will arrive on Tuesday, per UPS, if it doesn't get hung up in customs.  UPS usually comes around 11:30 to 12, so come in anytime after that to get it...it is so cute looking.  Since I will be away at CHA and won't be back until late Wednesday night, you all will get the magazine before me.  If you already have it on hold, please let Eric know so that he can pull it on the computer.

Thanks.  Have fun and see you soon.

Stampavie Pre-order Special

Hi all,

Come in and do a pre-order of the new Stampavie images and get 5% off all stamps.  Needs to be pre-order and pre-paid.  The 5% expires on Saturday, 1/16.  I have the catalog in the shop.  You can still do pre-orders after 1/16, but no savings.  These stamps are expected to arrive sometime in March.

They are so cute.  Stampavie consists of these designers:  Helz Cuppelditch, Sarah Kay, Tina Wenke, Gillian Roberts, Penny Johnson, and Mo Manning.

These are so cute, you are going to want them, I can't wait to get mine so I can color and make cute cards.  You all know how much I love to color.  Here is a sneak peak by going to their website, click on this.

If you are interested in doing these as a pre-order, let me know and I will put you down for it and call you first as soon as it comes in.  It looks like another cute magazine.

Thanks.

Cards from friends/customers

Michelle and Loretta,

Thank you for my beautiful cards, you two are such a joy and an inspiration for me to do better in my card making endeavors.  Since I am the Year of the Tiger and this is my year, Loretta made me this beautiful tiger card.  Yes, I am 36 years old, once again...tee hee.

Michelle, your Miss Anya is so beautifully colored and the embellies are so beautiful and love the pearl spray that you used...dontcha love it!!!  I am spraying everything in sight and I might make my black labbies into pearl labby doggies if they stay still for a minute.

Thanks again and I am so blessed to know each and everyone of you.

Sweet 16 Favors

Hi all,

I made these favors for my daughter's soccer team.  All the girls are turning Sweet 16 this year and we decided to celebrate that by having one party for all the girls.  I made these favors in the store, aren't they cute?  I sell the plastic candy favor boxes.  I used sparkly Tilda, colored with Copics, and wings and halo colored with Spica glitter pens from Copic.

Happy Sweet 16 girls, you are all precious to me.

Just In

Martha Stewart punches, acrylic blocks, pretty flowers from Prima, EZ mount sheets, EZ mount storage system for your cling and clear stamps.

See you soon.

Demo pics

Pics of the demo this past Saturday.  Hope you like them, I thought Lauren did a great job with the demo.  These bookmarks were made using distress ink pads for the background and stamped with distress ink pads and then used perfect pearls for the pearly images.
Thanks,
