Hello

​We are into the lazy, hazy days of summer. It has been hazy due to smoke from the Canadian fires and I have definitely been lazy since I got back from my trip to northern Minnesota a week ago. I love lounging on my deck with a good book, floating in my pool or rocking in my glider. What is your favorite lazy day activity?  

Speaking of Lazy Days, did you see the video of the shadow box card I made using the Lazy Days Dies and Stamp Set?  It was so much fun to make!  The Lazy Days Bundle #161343 is low inventory so if you are interested in purchasing you better hurry and head to my online store!

Since my last newsletter we have six new members who joined our little community of crafters!  Welcome to Jan, Lisa, Diane L., Diane A., Karen S. and Karen L. I am so happy you subscribed to my newsletter!  Attached is a little perk that I only give to my newsletter subscribers each month.  It is a monthly calendar of inspiration.  The daily ideas on the calendar are meant to boost your creativity, challenge you to try a new technique or inspire you when you sit down to craft and don't know where to begin. You can download it and print it off if you like.  Enjoy!

I will be mailing out the new Mini Catalogs this week to my current customers.  If you would like me to mail one to you as well, please send me your address.  The Mini Catalog ordering period starts September 6th and lasts until January 3rd, 2024.  I want everything inside!! It has so many great stamp sets, dies and designer series paper I could seriously go broke if I bought everything on my wish list.   

I wanted to let you know that the September Paper Pumpkin will not have a Halloween theme like it has in past years.  This year the theme is "With Love and Gratitude" and it was designed by Shelli (one of the founders of Stampin' Up!).  It is more of an autumn/thanksgiving/blessings type feel with pumpkins and fall colors like: Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, gold foil, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow & Pebbled Path. Be sure to sign up before September 10th.  There are prepaid options if you only want to get one month, three months, six or 12 months instead of becoming a monthly subscriber.  The nice thing is you can pause your subscription for one month if you want. Head to my YouTube channel if you want to see examples of past Paper Pumpkin kits and what comes inside. I have lots of YouTube videos from previous months you can view here.
