Discontinued Fabric for 99 Cents!

Hi everyone!  I just received an update from Stampin' Up that WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, customers will be able to order Designer Series fabric from the Clearance Rack! 

The fabric is 100% cotton, each includes three coordinated designs in an extra-wide fat quarter size, each piece is approx. 27" x 18".  They are priced at $0.99, usually sells for $9.95 each.  So if you are a quilter, purse maker or like to tinker with fabric, this is a really good deal, but only while supplies last!  No limit on the quantity.

You can order from your Stampin' Up demo or from my online store by clicking on the Stampin' Up! button on the right hand side!

Thanks for stopping in!

Lovely as a Tree Welcome

Welcome to all of my blogging friends!  I'm so glad that you stopped in to visit with me today!

Here is a card that I made for a friend who recently moved into a new rental house.  Since he is a man I went to my most manly stamp set, Lovely As A Tree, Love It!!  This set has so many uses, I hope they don't retire it for quite awhile too!  Now I have a little story about this card, you see all of the lines on the front?  Well, right after I got all done with it, I was putting away my black ink pad and of course ole butter fingers had to drop it, with the ink side down, and it left a nice black line!  Oh my was the air blue in the craft room that night!!  I really didn't want to start all over as I needed it the next day, of course, so the idea just popped into my head that said, "just put some more lines on it to make it look rustic and old."  So that is what I did and after I was done it looked like I had planned it that way!  Whew!  Have any of you done that?  As a little gift we gave him some flowers and some tile coasters that I stamped too.

Triple Time Stamping

Hi everyone, well I miss numbered my swaps and this is actually number nine, oops!

Today I want to share a picture of my three new friends whom I meet at the hotel where we were staying! They were nice enough to let me become a part of their group and we had alot of fun too!! From left to right: Patti Miller, Anne Venci and Caron Carbone. Patti and Anne live in KY and Caron lives in DE. We've all agree to do a monthly swap between the three of us and can't wait to receive their wonderful cards in the mail each month too!

This picture was taken at Stampin' Up!, the pick line, behind them, is where they fill the orders. It was cool to be able to tour the Riverton facility and to see where all the ideas happen and also to see Demo Support too! While there I also was able to talk to fellow demo, Lee Conrey!! What a sweet lady she is and she won the Heart of Stampin' Up! award just a few nights later. I'm sorry that I didn't get my picture with her, maybe next year!      Mary

Love and Sympathy

Well hello to all!  Summer is fastly fading and soon, hopefully cooler weather!

This is swap number nine and I will soon be done with showing my swaps and will move onto something new!  I left the sentiment off so that whomever received this swap could add their own to the front.
