Happy New Year everyone!!!

With the new year comes new ideas and products from Stampin' Up! Starting January 5th the new Occasion's Mini catalog will be available and will run through April 30th. There are two products I'm excited about. The new clear mount stamp sets and the new punches that are very thin. Both of these items will be great space savers. It has alot of new sets and accessories.

It's that time of year when Stampin' Up! gives back to it's customers. Saleabration is here and starts on January 5th running through March 31. During this time for every $50.00 you spend in products SU gives you a FREE stamp set. When you host a workshop with $350 in sales you also earn a FREE set. To view both catalogs go to www.stampinup.com or I have catalogs here. Call now to book a workshop in the new year.

Merry Christmas! Hope all of you have had as wonderful Christmas as I have had. We started out on Christmas Eve around noon(my youngest daughter Katie and I) to do some returns and have lunch. Then we treated ourselves to a delightful pedicure! What a way to finish the afternoon. Came home around 3:00 and finished up the dinner preps for the next day and then sat and watched movies until we left for church at 10:00. Christmas mass was beautiful and the choir was fantastic again this year. We all came home and had a snack and drinks and headed off the bed. Christmas day was a buzz of eating, opening gifts and playing games. It was great to have all the little ones around. Got everything cleaned up and in bed by 1:00. Don't even want to think about taking the trees down yet. Movie day today, we are off the see Sherlock Holmes!

I haven't made any cards in the last two weeks so on Monday I plan to start in on my cards for my January classes. See you all then!

These are the cards that I made at our Holiday celebration showbox swap(make one full card and bring supplies for 15 more to make)on Wednesday. It was for demonstrators of the Rubberqueen group and I won the free stamp set!!!
