Today's the day the new catalog goes live. 

Do you have your new catalog yet? Let me know if you don't have one.

I will be having my annual Open House on June 11th at 1:00 PM. There will be projects using some of the new In Colors, stamp sets and Designer Series Papers, there will be lots of goodies and I will have my retired stamp sets for sale at ridiculously low prices. Plan on coming for a fun time.

My mother, Janet Walker, peacefully passed away Wednesday, May 4th, just 3-1/2 weeks following the death of my sister. I am so thankful to have been able to stay with her following my sister's death. Mom was 94. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother, Nana to 7 grandchildren and GrandNana to 7 great grandchildren. I am blessed beyond words to have been her daughter. She taught me how to be a woman, a mother and a friend by her example. Mom had a strong faith and loved the Lord. She is now reunited with my dad, my brother and my sister and that gives me tremendous comfort. She will be cremated and her ashes scattered on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville, NC, the same spot where Dad, my brother and my sister's ashes have been scattered. Should anyone wish, contributions in her memory can be made to Hospice of the Bluegrass, 2409 Members Way, Lexington, KY 40504. I thank them for the excellent care and support during the past two weeks. I also thank my amazing and loving family and my friends who kept us lifted in thoughts and prayers and even care packages. You have kept me going with your love and friendship.

How cute is this little Baby Bear!  It's  3-step stamping so the samples below are shown along with the 3 colors of ink used to create him . . . or her. If you've been a Stampin' Up customer for awhile you might remember the stamp set called Button Bear. Will this be on your wish list? 

Don't forget to get those retiring products be foer they run out. With each online order your name goes into the drawing for my $50 Shopping Spree from the new catalog.

My youngest son, Jason, flew up to Lexington for two days. He was able to visit both of his grandmothers and see aunts, uncles, and cousins that he had not seen for awhile.  We went to the races today before he flew out along with my other son, Jeff, and his wife Becky. I love the horse races and have always tried to visit Lexington in April and October when they are racing. This was Jasons first hourse race. It was also nice to be able to get away for a few hours as my time is now spent caring for Mom.

Here is another Sneak Peek I saw on the blog of fellow demonstrator LeeAnn Greff. It's the new In Colors that will be out in the upcoming catalog. Thought you might like to see them. Aren't they just yummy!

I don't have my own copy yet of the new catalog but I have been able to see it online through our demosntrator website and have been able to watch some videos from the recent On Stage Convention in Salt Lake City. Let me just say it is filled with some pretty wonderful new products. I thought I should give you just a hint of what's in store.

One of my favorites is a stamp set and coordinating punch that was used to make this adorable card. It is on my "gotta have"  list for sure. And just look at all of the cute animals you can make besides the fox.

From cute to elegant . . .

This is one of the new floral Big Shot dies.

Don't forget the chance to win a $50 shopping spree from the new catalog. All you have to do is place an online order by May 31 and your name will be entered into my drawing. Wouldn't you love to be able to pick out some of the new products and get them for FREE!  Click on my name at the bottom of this post to go to my online store. And remember if your order is less than $150 to use the  Hostess Code  J47FKVET .

We all look forward to the new Stampin' Up catalog and the new In Colors. But to make room for new products we have to say goodbye to some of the current products. If you have any of these Retiring In Colors you want to be sure to get ink refills and card stock before it's gone. And when the retiring list comes out Tuesday these will be the first thing to sell out, often on that first day. Want to make sure you don't miss the boat it's always better to order BEFORE that list comes out. If you have any favorite stamp sets that you haven't yet purchased but think you want be sure to check the list Tuesday. Stamp sets don't sell quickly like the In Colors and Designer Series Papers do.

If you order anything online please use the Hostess Code J47FKVET when ordering if your order is LESS than $150.  You can order through my online store by clicking my name at the bottom of this post.

With great sadness I am sharing that my sister, Barbara, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, April 9th. We were so happy to have spent time together just three weeks ago. She raised a wonderful, loving son and was devoted to caring for our 94 year old mother in her home this past year. She had a passion for cooking which led to her Personal Chef business.

My 94 year old mother lived with her this past year and is not in the best of health. We got Hospice care a few days ago for her. I am in KY and the way things look now I will continue to stay here to care for Mom. What this means for my stamping classes, workshops, and business is that I will continue to keep you informed of updates. I will have new catalogs for you and will make arrangements for you to get them as soon as they come the end of May so be watching emails for information about that. You can contine to order through my online store.

I have had so many of you reaching out with your kind thoughts and prayers and I want you to know how comforting it is. I am blessed to have a wonderful family and friends.
