BIG things in the works!!!

PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!! This new Idea Book & Catalog has meant BIG cleaning, BIG planning, and BIG help around the studio!! Amy came over yesterday to help me, bless her!!!

See that stack of card stock? That's just PART of what I'll have at the discount sale going on at the same time as the OPEN HOUSE on Friday from 4 - 7!! If you're looking for something - ink, card stock, stamp set - that's been retired, bring your list!!!!





Tackling the Inspiration Station is a DAUNTING task, with the color renovation! It's on my TO DO for today!

The big challenge is remembering which colors are gone for the new year! :) I'm also designing some new things for the Station; the new colors are so exciting to work with!


I've got LOTS of retired cards for sale; I'm thinking of going ETSY with them. Any opinions out there about ETSY?




See those two middle boxes? Those are FULL of ink pads, Stampin' Write Markers, and Stampin' Spots - besides a few stamp sets! - to sell Friday!






Yup. Stacks of STUFF that will be available on Friday - we cleaned out, and I was RUTHLESS with my retired stamp sets! There are some that retired five years ago! Be SURE to check them out when you're here!

I'm not a hard taskmaster - Amy loves to clean and purge. :D We're opposites, can you tell?!?!? :D

TOMORROW THE LINK FOR THE NEW IDEA BOOK & CATALOG GOES LIVE!! Tune in for details, and if you're in the are, PLAN ON COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And stamp something! :D)

SO, I've been absent for a while...

and now you can't get rid of me! :D Look what I did last night! I finally, FINALLY finished the craft room, and cleaned of my desk!!!!! :D It's SO nice to be finally organized. I really needed to be baking last night, but this was the LAST place downstairs that needed to be don. So, it's done. :D

Here's my desk! You can actually SEE it!

Even looking the other way, it looks GOOD.

So, I'm off to work on more cookies, and going to take in some of the lights out and about. :) Have a WONDERFUL evening!!!!!

Oh, ye of little faith!! :D

See??? All ready for tonight! I still need to do SOME things, like sweep the floor - and my desk has piles on top of piles - but at least the space is USEABLE again! :)

This will be my last photo of my stamping area this week, because I expect to have things started to be laid out for the hostess appreciation luncheon - and EVERYTHING for that is a surprise, so you won't get clued in until after Saturday. Sorry about that - but YOU can always be a hostess, too! :D It's EASY - ask me how! Freebies, free lunch, and loads of fun - what's NOT to enjoy????

OK, off to get in the shower, and prepare for the rest of my day. :D THAT was a big task that HAD to get done, and I'm so glad it is! GO STAMP SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I'm getting there....

See? It's only HALF a mess now! :D I've got the projects for tonight cut out and designed, one of the offerings for the chocolate party is in the oven, and I've been able to work on other things for the hostess appreciation luncheon today. All this in less than two hours! I'm feeling like I'm accomplishing something finally! :D

I'll post the card we're doing tonight after everyone comes to party with me. :) It's going to be a small crowd, but we'll have fun - how can you not, with chocolate involved???? :)

Back to work for me - I hope you're taking the time to STAMP something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AUGH! I'm caught in a MESS!

Would someone PLEASE stop the world for a while?? I need to catch up! LOOK at this mess - and I'm having a chocolate party tomorrow night!!! Not to mention the Hostess Appreciation Luncheon on Saturday....

So, any guesses what I'll be doing the next few days? Oh, yeah, things like baking chocolate desserts for tomorrow night, working on wedding photos, yadda yadda.... :D Cleaning up the stamping room is DEFINITELY in the cards, too. I can't promise that my DESK will be cleared by Saturday, but I've GOT to get organized, or this luncheon will NOT be fun for any of us!

Stay tuned for updates - and stamped things. (Think this next part to the tune of "I Am Pretty"....) I am busy, o so busy! I am busy, and crazy, and stressed! :D

OK, I'm going to go stamp something now. Make SURE you take the time to stamp something, too! :D
