 JULY 2024 HOST CODE 9AWWNCRW

I am so sorry I have been so bad at updating my blog!!!!  Family obligations and health issues have kept me from doing all but the minimum needed.  We have also been renovating our kitchen and things are in a real uproar around here.  If you've ever done this, you know what I mean LOL!!!  I hope to be back up and running with some great content in August!

In the meantime, we have some great opportunities!  We have many new items in the Online Exclusive section of my store and you can check them all out here.  What is an Online Exclusive?  Stampin' Up! wants to be able to bring on trend items to us quickly.  Since each catalog requires months of editing, photographing, etc., Stampin' Up! came up with Online Exclusives.  Three times per year (March, July and November) new products are added to the Online Exclusives.  Online Exclusive products are only available while supplies last so be sure to order what you like when you see it!

We also have two new Kits available.  Two new kits are added each month to our Kits Collection and you can see all the kits available here.
