Happy November

Hello everyone! Sorry for so long between posts! Lots going on here!

First off.....we have lots of Stampin' Treasures news for you!

Check this out!

Hero Arts has released their discontinued list for 2008! If you want anything please order right away! Things are going quickly. Hero Arts continued a few things that really surprised me including the ClearDesign Monogram Alphabet Letters and Numbers which are still big sellers for us! I still haven't gotten a set for me! Whaaaaa!

I'm also pleased to tell you that I have a small "sneak peek" of the new Hero Arts release on my website! As usual, I'm in love! I will receive the new stamps by December 14 and hope to have them on my site (for pre-order) a couple of weeks prior to that!

You can also pre-order the Hero Arts 2008 catalog now too!

Just received some new Winter Stamps from Memory Box.  Gotta love the penguins! I just need to find some time to play with them!

I'm excited too to announce that we will be carrying the entire Memory Box line of stamps, cards, etc.  I think they will make a nice addition to our store.  We'll let you know when they're in house and ready to go!

Have you checked out the new Bargains of the Week on Stampin' Treasures? Great deals abound!

Other new stuff in the store

Tim Holtz Crackle Paints

Paper Craft Source orders now 10% off!

New cards uploaded

I've uploaded some new Memory Box cards, Hero Arts Cards and Lockhart Cards to the photo albums.  Be sure to check them out!

I also added a new category for Swap Cards.  I participate in a swap with some of my friends locally and I thought I'd share their work with you! Check out the cupcake card I made!

I found the idea for this card when I was surfing one day.  You know how you start on one blog and go to another and another and then all the sudden you don't know where you are? (I'm lucky I can find my way home! LOL!)  Anyway, thanks for the inspiration Lezlye!

Speaking of other blogs....

I have a feeling that I have a bunch of customers with blogs! I would love to share your links here.  Just email me, okay?

Or, if you don't have a blog, and would like to share your crafty creations with the world feel free to email me a scan and I'll add your cards/crafts to share with everyone!

Family News

Lauren and I went to Apple Hill last Friday.  We both were so excited to go so I cut out of work early and we jaunted up there! It was so much fun! This is Lauren in the Pumpkin Patch! Isn't she too cute?

We walked through Pumpkin Patches, tried all sorts of apple goodies (and caramel covered marshmallows! Yum!) and just had a great time! We came home with apple pie, caramel apples, apple cake, apple cider and apple crisp! Life is good!

November 29 is D-Day for my arm/shoulder surgery.  I got word that my MRI shows a torn rotator cuff, broken cartilage (embedded in my muscle....yep, that hurts as bad as it sounds) and a variety of other items.  The doctor said I have 8 things wrong with my left arm.  So I'm getting it fixed! Wish me luck.  I could use some positive vibes leading up to the surgery!

Lastly, how 'bout some Blog Candy?

I was reading about Blog Candy the other day (so, I'm new to all of this!) and I thought, what is blog candy? Sounds tasty! Where can I get some? And then I realized that the Blogger gives the Bloggee candy! LOL! Sounds like fun! So here's the deal.......make a comment on this post and on Monday, November 12, we will have a drawing for one set of Fabriano Notecards and Envelopes.  I'll send them to whoever wins.  And I'm happy to ship anywhere in the world! How do you like 'dem apples? (I told Lauren about that saying the other day and she still doesn't get it!) Anyway, post a comment and we'll see if you're a winner! Sounds like fun to me!

Thanks!

I love your blog! I ordered stamps from you several times, and I am always very happy with my purchases. Apple Hill looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the offer of Blog Candy! Pick me, pick me!

[marcie]

Just got your newsletter today too. I've heard about those Fabriano cards but have never seen them so I'd love to win a set. Thanks!

[Edie]

Well...how very generous of you!!
I can't wait to check out the new stuff on the website! SO happy to hear you have all Memory Box paper now. :)

I love blog candy!! Fabriano cards will make great candy! Bless your heart Lucy on your upcoming shoulder surgery. Sorry you're in pain. There's nothing worse than physical pain. The good news is you have a date to relieve the pain, get on the mend & look forward to a brand new year! God bless!

[Lezlye]

Count me in for the blog candy! Love Fabriano! I see you liked my cupcake card...

[Lisa]

I love your new blog - it's a great addition to your Stampin' Treasures site (which you know I'm a big fan of!!). I'm keen to win some blog candy too! Sounds like fun, plus I've never seen the Fabriano notecards before.

[Linda Larson]

I just opened your newsletter, checked out all the discontinued Hero Arts stamps, peeked at the Fabriano notecards (never have seen them before!), and am posting a comment as I would love to be selected for some blog candy!! Can sympathize with your sore arm and waiting for surgery, as I am currently awaiting a hip replacement a month from today!! Pain is h---, and seems to inhibit the creative streak, at least for me and I'm sure for you!! Blog candy might make it feel better! :o) LOL

My first visit to your blog and I love "blog candy". Good luck with your surgery.
