Don't say I didn't warn you!

The rare but much sought sale has popped up!

It doesn't happen often, so you have to act now and be glad you were paying attention!

Current catalog and Holiday catalog, every stamp set and single stamp is 15% discounted. Bundles are already 15% discounted, so they are not further discounted.

My special thanks to you: I will have a mystery hostess! Anyone placing an order by Thursday via email or phone will have a chance to win the hostess benefits of the Stamp Sale Order. The more we order together, the larger the mystery amount will grow!

Remember, if you are spending $99 you might want to think about the demonstrator kit -- just ask me about all the cool stuff you get, like free shipping!

And if you hit the $150 mark on your own, you have already earned Hostess Benefits and I will tell you how to collect them for yourself rather than risking the mystery lottery!

Are you ready for Halloween? If you have a few favorite Trick-or-Treat guests or if you have an entire school of kids you want to make feel special, I have a ton of great easy ideas and products to glam up the snacks and presents you are giving. This darling bag was one of our October Stamp Club projects. Stampin' Up! offers the treat bags in the catalog, making it so easy to decorate for any holiday or birthday, but the design can be transferred to a card just a easily. This stamp set was used on the Witches Hat project -- so popular it sold out in record time!

Text me your stamp order today, the rest of my week promises to be B-U-S-Y!

I'm making a list, checking it twice, gonna see what's naughty or nice

 Are you a list maker? Do you have a Christmas list? A birthday list? A stamp wish list? These are all relative questions since Christmas is sneaking up on us -- I bought my first Christmas gifts yesterday! I'm posting a birthday card, or two, today! And Stampin' Up! is announcing a short and sweet sale on stamps starting tomorrow!

There is a one-line message to demonstrators warning/announcing that there will be a 15% sale on all stamps from Monday October 19 through Friday October 23. More details Monday. So we don't know if bundles are included, if stamps in demonstrator kits are included, but I'm sure they are! Or if stamps in the Holiday Catalog are included, but of course they would be!

So get your post-it notes out and start marking up your catalogs, call your stampy friends and gather up your orders!

I'm happy to run a special "mystery hostess" deal for anyone placing orders by Thursday -- one lucky lady will receive some free goodies if we hit that $150 mark! But if your individual order hits the mark, you earn those free goodies! Or if you and your friends can hit that sweet spot together, you can bundle your orders and order something fun together with the hostess benefits!

These cute Birthday Builder Stamp Set cards were featured at the October Stamp Club get together. We have two more cards to share, so stay tuned!

Just shoot me an email or give me a call or just leave me a message here!

Happy Stamping!

1 + 1 = x The answer will amaze you!

 One super cute stamp set and One pack of DSP (Designer Series Paper) = an entire hospitality suite, ready to enliven your Thanksgiving table or any autumn party you are hosting or attending! If you are so lucky that you are attending a party this Thanksgiving and you send a gift basket ahead of time, with darling cupcake picks, place cards, mini-treat bags that can hold flatware & napkin sets, a candle holder or floral vase, some candy treats -- well, you can be sure that you will be invited back for Christmas!

The Thankful Forest Friends are so stinkin' cute, and paired with the Into the Woods DSP, you barely need to "design" anything, just let the stamps and paper do the thinking for you! Better yet, come on over to my place on Wed Oct 21,  at 7:00 pm: we will be making place settings, place cards, treat boxes,  center piece elements, cupcake toppers and more from Into the Woods suite. Dress up your table or at least the dish you bring to share! $20 please RSVP.

Happy Stamping!

Messin' around with the boards

 I have been so busy busy with a million projects, they just need to be completed and photographed. But the sun has left me high and dry and I have definitely not adjusted to these shorter days! Yuck.

So, here are a couple super cute projects I managed to complete, using the Gift Bag Punch Board. This tool costs just $20, makes darling gift bags, very EASY and cute. But then you can whip out a bunch of other awesome gift packaging.

This box is substantial and super pretty. I feel like I could make a big pile of them without losing a finger, or getting a migraine. Sometimes a bride or hostess will ask for a box or bag to be used as a party favor, and I'll cringe because it is so difficult to assemble. . . but this one is just super easy!

And then I applied the same principle to the wine bottle wrap, and it works beautifully. After Halloween comes and goes, you will be thinking Christmas, so keep this in mind! It is quick and easy and looks great! Wrap up a bottle of wine, olive oil, bath oil or hand soap, add a tag and your gift looks like a million bucks!

I am determined to finish up all the projects on my table, get pictures of them and share them, and SOON, so look out!

Happy Stamping,
