Out with the old, in with the new . . .

So, I sort of fell off the face of the earth for a little while, but was very busy during my non-stamping hiatus. I painted two rooms in my house, had a garage sale, cleaned my house, and got a puppy. Needless to say, we have been busy. I am ready to stamp again!!!!

My plan is this . . .

June 27 -

A happy retirement party!!! Not for me, but for many of my stamp sets. You can find a list below of the stamps that I am retiring from my collection. I am planning to hold a silent auction through the 27th. You can bid on sets by e-mail or by phone starting today. I will periodically let you know who is in the lead for which sets and you can choose to outbid them, or not. On the 27th, I will host an open house, where we will stamp a little, bid a little, and eat a little. The winners of the auctioned sets will be able to take them home on the 27th following the open house. I will have a project or two for you to make and take. Let me know if you are interested in attending.

July -

Christmas in July!!!! Get a big jump on your Christmas projects and maybe feel a little bit cooler in the July heat by planning for the holidays. Also, the new catalog comes out July 1!!!!!!

More information to follow.

August -

I will be on vacation for two weeks (Stampin' Up Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah) and then it is back to school for the kiddos. I think August is going to be one of those months where I am too busy to stamp!

September -

Halloween and Thanksgiving theme.

Hope you will be able to make an event or two! ~Amy
