Keeping You in the Loop

Hey all! I know several days have passed without a missive from me, and today is going to be a quickie with no photos. If you stop reading right now, I understand! Here's what's going on: I have a stamp camp tonight and my parents are arriving a day early to spend a week with us. Thank goodness I had a burst of energy last night and washed their bedding, cleaned their bathroom, vacummed the house, and mopped the floors! I feel pretty ready for their arrival, but I still have paper to cut after work this afternoon for tonight's class.

We'll see how much time there will be to play in the next week, but if I don't share much, don't despair. I'll be back! Thanks for understanding, and keep crafting!

Saying Thanks...

I know that Thanksgiving is past, but sending you Merry Christmas greetings doesn't really seem to capture what's in my heart for all of you. I am so thankful for you, my fellow stampers, friends, family, and even yet-to-be-known friends who are interested enough in me and my attempts at crafting to stop by here each day. Some of you share your thoughts, some of you don't. But your presence has been very meaningful to me this year, and I wanted you to know. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement.

I do hope everyone has a wonderful time with family and friends in these days surrounding Christmas. We're leaving today for IL and Michael is desperate with hope that there will still be sufficient snow on the ground to play in and with. I'll be sure to document this, as I think it's a pretty safe bet. It's supposed to rain there though, so if you're a praying person, please pray that it would hold off until AFTER we arrive so that if he can't play in it, he can at least see it and have himself a white Christmas.

Here's a little tease of an upcoming card. Stop by next week and visit as time permits!

One last thing: if Santa happens to bring you money to spend on stamping on the 25th, keep in mind that the current catalog's items are on sale until Dec. 31. If you've had your eye on something in that catalog, contact me and I'll make sure your order gets submitted before the year's end. OR, if you can delay gratification, remember that the new Spring-Summer Collection debuts Jan. 1! You can see the new catalog that day from 4-6pm at the Starbucks on the corner of Peachtree Pkwy and Ronald Reagan Blvd. Let me know if you're planning to come by! Stamping and Starbucks--both are good things!!
