Happy New Year - Lots to Share!

Published: Thu, 01/02/20

Happy New Year!!!!!!

I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve. Mine was a quiet evening with my husband and two kids, making and eating our traditional homemade Chinese food feast. Yum!

I'm curious to see if the new 20's trends will reflect the past 20's trends. Do you think fringe is coming back? How about the fun flapper dresses? Art Deco? Cloche hats? We'll just have to wait and see what this new twenties decade will bring.

I wish you a year full of happiness, good health, quality time with family and friends, and designated time doing what YOU want to do (and I hope some of that time is spent stamping and creating). I am at your service in helping you with that one.

New Year = New Catalogs!

That's right! There are two new catalogs that begin tomorrow.

The new January - June Mini Catalog is FULL of new stamp sets, papers, embellishments, ideas, dies, card kits and has a whole new design (and is 75 pages!!!). You will notice that it is landscape in design which gives a lot more room to display all the products and samples. There is a new picture index in the back which makes it a whole lot easier to find what you are looking for.

The new Sale-a-Bration Catalog is FULL of free products, with qualifying orders. For each $50 of products you order, from Jan. 3 - March 31, you will choose a free, exclusive product from this catalog. If you order $100 in products, you can choose two products or a special level two product. There are no limits!

Need these new catalogs? They are in my old icebox on my front porch ready for pick up if you live local, or you can contact me to have them sent to you if you live far away. Catalogs are also live online and you can access them at this link.

"Making It"

Over the holiday vacation, my daughter and I binge watched Season Two of the NBC show Making It. This show, hosted by the very funny Nick Offerman & Amy Poehler, is a very sweet, creative, inspiring, competitive, funny crafting show that highlights and emphasizes how important making things is. Great for all ages. One of the episodes even had the contestants make their own 3D party invitations. I highly recommend watching it, both seasons one and two. https://www.nbc.com/making-it. Let me know what you think. We couldn't stop watching and then were inspired to make some things of our own. I posted a few of the handmade items I made for Christmas gifts on my Facebook Group page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/MailSomethingPrettyGroup/

Love Themed Cards

Instead of doing a designated Valentines day card class, I thought we would do a love themed class instead using all new products. You can have these cards be for Valentines day, Wedding, Anniversary or almost any other occasion by just changing the sentiment. All three cards were designed by me.

This class will be held on four occasions in my Norwell home studio. I have added additional times/days this year to hopefully work with your schedules. Be sure to RSVP to save your spot. I encourage you to invite a friend to come with you!

If you are unable to attend class, but would like to purchase a card/s, please contact me about which card/s you would like (at $5 each).

Monday, 1/13 at 1pm & 7 pm

Tuesday, 1/14 at 10 am and

Friday, 1/17 at 10 am

$30 class. You will make 6 cards/3 designs.
