Happy New Year!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and enjoy a prosperous and healthy New Year of peace and joy....

It's hard to believe that the holidays are over! I thoroughly enjoyed them...spending time with family and friends, relaxing (something I rarely take time to do for myself!), and just taking a breather!

But it's time to get back to work (I LOVE saying that--because teaching stamping and scrapbooking for a living is where my heart is...and although I work hard AT IT, I really do love what I do, and hardly view it as "work"!)

I love Stampin' Up! too...and am VERY excited about the new catalog that is now available for the Spring-Summer 2008 season! Do you have YOUR copy yet? If not, please do contact me and I'll be happy to get one off to you!  It retails for $9.95 but if you check the beautiful cover to the left, you will find a link to ways you can get a hard copy of your own-absolutely FREE from me! Now I don't stand on the street corner just GIVING away copies to just anyone...but it's not too hard to get one for free...without having to do too much! So check it out!

I just love the cover...it's so refreshing, so spring-like! What's inside, is even better! Lots of wonderful new stamp sets-I am thrilled to see Stampin' Up! return to adding more artsy-type sets! I am more the "artsy" gal, than the "cutsie" one...

There are some terrific accessories too, which I'm really having fun with! I have lots to tell you but it's late, and after mall-shopping for after-holiday sales with my teenage daughter today, and yesterday, I am exhausted! So...I'll have to fill you in on all the goodies over the next few days!

Meanwhile, I wanted to let you know that on Wednesday, at 2:00p.m. EST, you can officially place orders with me from the brand new Spring-Summer 2008 Collection! If you didn't order a catalog from me, or book a party a month ago for January-to get your own copy, not to worry! You will be able to hover over the picture of the beautiful catalog to the left, and will be taken to the ONLINE CATALOG so you can view all the beautiful stamps, accessories and stamped samples it offers! Check back with me at 2:00 on 1/2/07!

Also, if scrapbooking is your thing...and you couldn't attend the Winter Brights Scrapbook Camp I offered in December, you will be happy to know that I will be offering it again in January on the 5th and the 6th plus a few other times...but that news will have to wait until tomorrow...as it is late and I'm fading fast!

I'm looking forward to a wonderful and GREAT-2008 stamping and scrapbooking with you!
