Goodbye, Oh MY!!

Well, the retiring accessories came out today, and with it, were a few sad goodbyes...  We will miss some of the wonderful things that are retiring.  The Stampin Up website had such a buzz going today, that it even froze a few times!!!  Stampin' Up has told us that things go so quickly once they are put on the retired list, that they will update us EVERY DAY at 4pm (MT).  We won't bombard you with emails and posts, but if you are looking for something we suggest that you call us right away - we can look up the status for you.  Get it while you still can!  We have no idea what, if anything, from the little green Occassions catalog will be carried forward past that catalog's expiration (April 30) - so better to be safe than sorry there too.  You can see the lists on our websites (click one website above, go to shop now, retired list...).

That being said, we are also starting to get all atwitter about the new catalog, which will be in effect beginning June 1st.  We will share those catalogs with you just as soon as we are able (we haven't even seen them yet!!), but the sneak peeks they have shared with us are FABULOUS!!

We sent out our newsletter today, and if you didn't receive it, then we either don't have your email address, or we have it wrong...  drop either of us a note and we will get you all set up!  We have added a Stamp a Stack for this upcoming Thursday night, 4/26, when we will be making the cards pictured at the right.  If you would like to join us, you can email us, give us a call, or visit one of our websites (above) and click on the RSVP button.

In our newsletter, we also talked about our May Day special... (actually this will be for Monday 4/30 and Tuesday 5/1) If you have come to our classes before, and bring a friend who is new to us, your class will be FREE!  Your friend still has to pay the $15, but what are friends for...  If you are new to us, bring a friend who is also new, and you can split the $15 fee!  You each will still go home with your 8 cards (with matching envelopes), and you will have fun creating with your friend!

One last thing to mention... if you have ever thought about joining our team, even if it is only for the discount and perks, you may want to give us a call right away.  They are changing the starter kit beginning May 1st.  The new kit program is less expensive and fully customizable, but you get much less "stuff".  If you have a lot of our stuff already and you just want to get going - after May 1st is for you.  The current kit is a bit more expensive, partially customizable, but you get a ton of stuff...  If you are a newbie, and are just getting set up, you want to join BEFORE May 1st.  Call one of us right away and we can explain the differences!

Hope to hear from you soon!
Amanda and Beth!
