Hello fellow stampers! I know, it has been forever since I posted... many of you have been worried, questioned and finally gave up... I am truly sorry. A little explanation. Last July, my one and only daughter became engaged. I was ecstatic! (still am by the way ;) John is a great guy!!!) We went through the whole wedding thing and I loved every moment of it, from shopping for the dress, making the invitations (yes of course!LOL) made the thank you gifts, the programs and still have the "thank you" cards to do... but alas... they are in Greece for a few days... breather for mom! So as you can see... I have been busy, maybe busier than I needed to be but since I only have one daughter, it was quite important to do it right! Hopefully I can keep up a bit now... I do have a few items to show you, but right now I want to point out that the " retirement list " is out. I have also found the retiring accessories list...but I have to work at getting it in a readable format....

Items on this discontinued accessories list will be available while supplies last or through August 10, whichever comes first. Items with highlighted green, are already sold out.

Well, here it is... You can download the list from here and print it out. I will be putting in orders still on a regular basis so if you would like something, just email me. Don't forget, we now take credit cards so you can phone me with your CC # and we will put the order in immediately.

I have been playing today. After I put up the Blog Candy, I realized I had a baby set that had never touched ink. What is with that????? Ok, I really wanted this set when it was in the Spring mini last year. I coveted it...But resisted. Then in July when I was told I was going to be a Grandmother... well I HAD to get it. I had a reason to get it. Does it matter to me that it hit the retirement list? No, sad as I never did demo it, but I am happy I got it and now I am playing with it. So, here are the samplings for today. By the Way, I am loving all the comments and links that you are all sharing. I check each and every one out...

Its HUGE this year and very sad in many ways .. So many favorites saying bye bye ~ 233 sets on the list with 45 wheels . You have until June 30th to get any of the retired sets .. Say Goodbye! The Retired List is Here! It's time to say goodbye to some old favorites while Stampin' Up! makes room in our new catalogue for hundreds of new stamps and accessories. If you've been holding off on getting those stamps on your wish list, now might be your last chance to get them before they're gone forever. One thing I want to mention... if you are wanting a wheel on the list, it needs to be ordered immediately. The wheels are on a "first come first serve" basis and when they are gone, they are gone!!!
