ETSY Shop

HI !
Just popping in  to let you know about my ETSY shop. I loaded a bunch of paper packets last week but they all sold before I had a chance to share the link. So I loaded more tonight and am sending you the link. So far it is all Graphic 45 paper and accessories ... tonight it is Botanical Tea, Home Sweet Home, Gilded Lily, ABC Primer, Secret Garden, Steampunk Spells, An Eerie Tale, Cirque. There are packages of 12x12 paper (all less than $1 sheet !), chipboard & diecuts, and paper pads both 6x6 and 8x8.
Take a look. If you see anything you want to buy , you can use the following code to remove the shipping fee if you want to save money by picking it up at the store. If you are a regular mail order customer, you can also use the code and I'll just add the items to your next parcel. Thanks !
The code is LOCALPICKUP .

Paper Smooches, I.O., and the Card Swap

Hello !
I swapped all the beautiful cards that came in over the last month so if you were one of the card creators, I have a package here for you. Thanks for participating !
And if you didn't ... why not ? lol.
You missed out on getting some beautiful cards in return. Eight people brought in cards. I may try again later in the summer and see if we can get an even bigger group then !

This week the paper Smooches order arrived as well as a wonderful bunch of little stamps from I.O. along with a few dies. I also had more of the new Ranger products including the 3 packs of the mini jars of collage medium and texture pastes, the new collage brushes. woodgrain paper, and the first batch of Distress Crayons. The crayons went to the prepaid orders first, then I started down the list. I'm still expecting more in a few weeks and that should fill all the remaining orders.
Here is a link to all the new products ... the Paper Smooch dies and stamp sets are adorable !

This Week's Sale & a QUICK Project !

Hi !
Back again ! This time I have the details on this week's sale and a quick little project I made for St. Paddy's day.
I saw a video on making shamrocks with hearts so off to the workroom I went ! 35 minutes later I had a completed banner ! THAT EASY !! It's very simple but I wanted something  that wasn't overly involved or with too many supplies . Mission accomplished.

And now the sale ... I've decided to hold over last week's sale. There was a lot of interest but not everyone could get in, so here's another chance !

For more details , read this post from last week ... sale details.
And I am happy to take phone/email orders if you can't get in but need your Tim stuff ! ;)
And ... be sure to check the previous post to see all the new stock. There are some bee-yoo-ti-ful new papers !!
Hope to see you Friday !!
