They're here!

That's right everybody! The new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog, Sale-A-Bration Brochure & Definitely Decorative Inserts are here! If you have not seen these yet, be prepared for your head to start spinning! I couldn't believe my eyes. There are clear-mount stamps, new punch styles, and much, much more. To view these new publications, please click on the pictures for each one on my left sidebar.

Sale-A-Bration is such an exciting time. It's like Christmas all over again for us stampers! For each $50 you spend (before shipping & tax) you can choose a free item from the brochure. If you rather have something else, there is a list of stamp sets in the back of the brochure that you can choose from the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. (Please be sure to use the item number located in the back of the Sale-A-Bration brochure when placing your order. They are different.) There are so many to choose from! Can you tell that I'm excited? 

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post. December was just crazy for my family. We did something totally out of the norm and went on vacation the week before Christmas. We went to Disney World. We had such a great time, but it gave me less time to do shopping and make cards. Everything had to be done before we left, because we weren't coming home until Christmas Eve. I'm happy that we got to see what it's like in Florida at Christmastime, but it was strange being away from Maryland too. Of course the year we go away, we get a snowstorm that dropped 22" of snow. We got to see it briefly before it all melted.

I'd like to share a couple photos with you. The first one was taken at Sea World. I just thought Shamu looked so cute with his Santa hat on. The other two are of the Cinderella's Castle. It was changing colors and was so beautiful.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year to you all!
