SALESALESALESALESALE and a Winner

Do I have your attention?

Simple sale today, blog followers, and you guys are the first to know.

I Know I'm Behind Again

but I was so buys mopping up the drool that I couldn't get the to computer.

Although I don't stamp as much as I should, that doesn't keep me from wanting all the stamps I can get my hands on.........and I want my hands all over these (seems that in another part of my life I used that phrase for other purposes, but that escapes me at the moment.)

Last day of contest.  Starting tomorrow, will be continuing to unearth contests for you to enter and also showing some fabulous work by some of my etsy customers using products for sale on the site (would love to see your projects.)

Send in your pics and, if you are featured on the site, good things will happen.

Winner?  Let's see Cher was last.....who will be next?

Oh my aching wallet is right!

Oh me, oh my....

How does one choose just one? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the mini folders for the trading cards.

But if I must choose just ooooone, it would have to be the pocket watch & steampunk set.

And yes, Tim does post on weekends (sometimes).

Have a great weekend, Sue!
Tonya

Congrats to Tonya

As always, this set is 25% off for the next 24 hours (email me at sue.stoughton@gmail.com) if interested.  All other texture fades available at 20% off retail on preorder.

Thanks for playing along.  Another winner announced tomorrow.

Valentine's Day Inspiration from Alice Carman

I just love to see what people do with the stuff that they buy from my little Etsy shop. People do absolutely fabulous things with the little bits that find their way out of my store and on to their craft tables.

A very fine crafter named Alice Carman was nice enough to send me a pic of a very nice Valentine's Day card she made with some of the product she got from me.  What an adorable card!  See how great that white Jenni Bowlin button looks?  And how fabulous are those tiny little white letters. 

You can see more of Alice's work on her blog at http://alicecarman.wordpress.com/

For those of you living in southern California, check out the information for Alice's classes.

Thanks for the inspiration Alice!

Dinner Parties, a Bit of Snow and a Contest

Ok, so deceptive title - the first thing I want to talk about is TIM HOLTZ SNEAK PEEKS!

Yesterday, he started posting pics of his new Sizzix dies and they are to die for - no pun intended but is fun anyway.  Go to www.timholtz.com and click on blog to go right there.  Papercrafting goodness at its finest.

So here's what I think.  I think we need a contest.  Go and look at Tim's Blog.  Choose your favorite new die.  Post a comment back here about which new die is your favorite.  If your comment number is chosen, you will win that die....simple....elegant and fun.  Must be a blog follower to win, so tell all your friends.

In other news, we talked a while back about looking forward to the new year.  One of the things that my husband and I are doing this year is to invite people we know to dinner - concentrating first on those we haven't seen for a while or haven't spent quality time with.  Our first party is this Sunday.  Just a small group so that we can catch up.   All Barefoot Contessa recipes....so yummy.  We are going to take pics of the group at dinner, print it out in black and white and start a gallery in our kitchen....kinda like in the restaurants where they have the pics of the owners and celebrity guests.  How excellent will that be and so much fun to do.  When was the last time you had someone over to dinner?

Finally, we have a small dusting of snow here today, Little tiny bits of snow, not enough to ruin traffic yet, but just the same, a good day to stay inside and pack orders and list new stuff on the etsy.  3 ring albums from Pink Paislee - in three sizes - 6x6 for $4.00, 8x8 for $5.00 and 6x12 for $6.00...just the cutest fabric covers with chipboard pages.....loads of potential....

Don't forget to leave a comment about your favorite new die.....drawing will be Sunday.....check back every day that Tim does a preview for a similar contest........
