50% Off Your First 2 Months!

Happy Thursday To You!

Before I get started, I want to let you know that I didn't forget about sharing my trip photos with you. I have been playing "catch up" since I got home and dealing with a little jet lag or should I say Grandma's exhausted from playing with the kids lag! LOL I'll be working on the photos this afternoon, so I should post either tonight or tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming... *grin*

I'm a little late to the game because of my unplanned trip, but I thought I'd let you know anyway. Better late than never?

Stampin' Up's Paper Pumpkin is now 50% off your first 2 months! Use promo code SAVE50

I just got my very first Paper Pumpkin box and I love it! The stamp set is too cute for words! The projects are just as cute AND I found some alternative projects you can make with the May kit.

If you sign up before June 10th, you will receive the June box. It's a surprise and that's one of the things I love about Paper Pumpkin.

If you have any questions or need assistance in signing up, please don't hesitate to contact me. It would be my pleasure to help.

REMINDER: I'm holding an informational event online on May 30, 2015 from 1-3 p.m. EST. If you'd like to hear more about Paper Pumpkin before signing up, just go to my website (link is in the upper right corner on this blog where it has the shopping cart) Click on the event calendar, scroll to May 30th and RSVP. I don't expect the event to last more than 30 minutes or so. I just blocked off 2 hours to give us some breathing room.

A Little FYI

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day, if you celebrate, that is. Well, I hope you had a fabulous day no matter what!

I had the most awesome Mother's Day EVER! If you are Facebook friends with me, then you probably saw the incredibly touching, heartwarming message my daughter, Cassie, sent to me. If you're not on my Facebook, why not?! I would love more crafty friends or just friends. Anyway, you can send me a friend request if you would like and then you can see the message I'm talking about.

The only thing that would have been better for Mother's Day is, if I was able to physically be with my daughter on that day. We live in different states. She's in Wisconsin and I'm in Massachusetts. It's been about 3 years since I last saw her and my grandkids. I miss them terribly. My daughter and I have always had a very close bond. It's hard to be away from her.

So, last night I get a call from Cassie's boyfriend, John. He wants to fly me to Wisconsin to visit for a week! This is his birthday present to her! Cassie's birthday is May 12th and that's the day I am flying in!

I cannot wait! Seriously, I'm so giddy I don't know what to do with myself! The excitement, the anxiousness it's so overwhelming, but in a good way! *smiles*

I really wanted to share this with you and to tell you that I won't be posting anything until I return. Right now I am not sure what day I am coming home, but I know it will be next week.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! I know I will! I will take lots of pictures to share with you all.

Until then...Happy Stampin'! Pat

Stampin' Up's 2015 Retiring List Is Coming Soon!

Hello Friends!

Today I'd like to talk about Stampin' Up's Retiring List. The 2015 list comes out on April 21, 2015. I have a couple of words of advice and some fun facts to share with you.

1. If you have products on your wish list that you just HAVE to HAVE, I would advise you to place your order before April 21, 2015 to ensure you can get that item.
2. If you don't have a wish list, I suggest you make one using your Annual Catalog. When April 21st comes around and the Retiring List goes live, check the list for those items and get your order in FIRST thing!
3. Retiring items are "while supplies last". There will be no back order for those items once the list comes out.
4. Retiring products have been known to sell out the first day! Another reason to order early!
5. I would love it if you placed your orders using me as your Demonstrator! That's a Fact!
6. I'm here for you if you need help making a wish list or for any of your Stampin' Up! needs. Another true fact!

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a happy, crafty day!
