UPDATES in the STAMP SHOP

Head on over to my STAMP SHOP and take advantage of the new and exciting updates:

Stamps that used to be $12 and $13 are now reduced to $8!  The cutie stamps? Now $7!  I hope you take advantage of these special prices, as they will be ending at the end of the month.

YES!  As an added bonus, if you order two or more stamps, you will also
receive one of the '2013' stamps from my New Year's release FREE!

Keep in mind, there are only a few of the more popular stamps left to buy.
I'm talking less than 10.

*Do you believe my [shoe shot] stamp is already SOLD OUT?!
I didn't think the remainder of them would go THAT quickly!
Thank you for your swift response, readers.

If you've had your eye on any other stamp, I'd get it sooner rather than later. ;)

Happy browsing!

spending the last Monday of July UPDATING the STAMP SHOP

Three more days of my beloved July to go. I'm spending today updating the STAMP SHOP.  I've been meaning to get it done and LOOK - July has almost escaped me.  Stay tuned for it's re-opening along with some discounted prices.

Thanks for stopping by!

PL 2013 |weeks 4 & 5|

My Grams was here two weekends ago, so instead of sitting in my awesome craftroom that Saturday and Sunday morning to Project Life, I enjoyed life with Grams and her breakfasts and early morning mimosas. :)

I didn't freak out, I just knew I was going to put two weeks in one a la today's PL post...

...and they're mostly pic-heavy spreads with minimal journalling and embellishments.  The whole left side is the Sunday my sister, Elisa, and I went to the oh so fun Brooklyn Flea market.  I also included the 3 instagramed shots of the karaoke that followed.

That cute bar code stamp can be found HERE.

I included some shots from my sister's 24th birthday.

...and that cow portrait:

It's hanging up in my classroom, and I look at it CONSTANTLY and think It's the only one in this room that understands me.  I absolutely adore it.

The whole right side is shots from my Grams 80th birthday bash.  Lots of fun.  She had a ball.

The backside of it was all the singing and dancing done, and below is the song I sung to her with the lyrics changed.  It was a big hit.

Finally, to kick start February, I included some last-week-o' January highlights and my currentlies stamp:

...and a sequins heart to finish it off.

Thanks for viewing!

xOxO,

UPDATE (again) on my New Year's Stamps

Yes, I originally started with eight designs for the New Year's edition of my stamp-a-roonies, then shrunk the number down to seven designs after believing a week ago that I had finally figured out how to get them from my head, to the correct PSE format and dpi, to the website for a clear and successful upload, to a pretty sweet wood-mounted rubber stamp. Uhhh...I've done all that before.

However, it did not work.  Whatevs.

Not wanting to give up, as it is #1 on my December Manifesto list, I worked on the designs more this morning. The only three I'm comfortable listing are the three you see above.  So sorry, for those of you interested in any of the others.  I'll have a whole year to refine and perfect them for next New Year's. ;)

Anyway, the very limited quantity of these New Year's Stamp of mine will be available in the next couple of weeks.  When I get them in, they'll be in my STAMP SHOP the very next day...I'll let you know.

In other not-completely-unrelated-news...TOMORROW at noon Paper Issues is conducting a BLOG HOP where scrappy ladies will display work they've created using my stamps, and a giveaway of some of my stamps will be taking place.

Come back tomorrow for more details!

See ya then.

**Must also note: what happened yesterday morning in Connecticut is just sad, sad, sad.
Thinking of the victims this morning and the rest of this year.
There are no words, just tears.

December Daily | Dec2 to Dec8 |

Unexpectedly, on Sunday, December 2nd, I got a new iPhone 5.  My sister lost her iPhone the Friday before in a cab or something, and because I was the only one due for an upgrade, she took my old phone, and I got a new phone. Heeeeyyyyy!

I expected Christina Perri's "Something 'Bout December" to go here, but this song was my carol last week.

I couldn't add anything else to the below spread. Quiet and wishing.

our glitter circles...

#2 on my December Manifesto shown below

It was inspired by elise's recent PL recording of #mileaday

That little guy was meant for this Secret Santa page. What's he up to?

Finally, my 'Gifts To Buy' page is just a place to jot down the presents I still need to buy, wrap, and get under the tree.

Thanks for visiting!

Stay tuned for more!

UPDATE on my New Year's Stamps

Howdy, and hello, readers and peepers!

I know it's been over a month since I first posted about these stamps coming to my STAMP SHOP, but literally -- that's how long the process has been taking. I got a batch that were imperfect, had to figure out why, made several other copies of my designs, sent them to the company, waited for a response, was told what to do, did it, still didn't work, tried this, did that...haa haa!

Bottom line: I think I got it right just yesterday (crossing my fingers)...and hopefully, I'll be placing the order for the bunch by tonight, and by this time next week or so, they'll be in my shop...just in time for a December 16th Blog Hop with Paper Issues.

Yes!  You read that right!  A Blog Hop -- featuring my stamp-a-roos -- starting on December 16th, and going for two sweet weeks.  There's a chance to win some stamps from my shop, and it should be an awesome time!

If you have a particular liking to any of the stamps above, TAKE THE POLL in the middle >> column and let me know which is your favorite!

You can also let me know in the comments or in an e-mail to [email protected] as I am going to be ordering a very limited quantity to list in my shop.

 That's all I have to tell you for now. :)  

I hope everyone who's December Daily-ing is having as much fun with it as me.  

 

Happy almost-Friday!

my STAMP SHOP does *New Years 2013*

There's nothing like saying "Hi, November" by talking about the end of December! Haa haa!

But I am, and I have to ...because I am more than excited to show you my *New Years* stamp collection. 

I designed them with my December Daily in mind because for me, it's going to start on Thanksgiving, and end on New Year's Day.  That means I'm recording my New Years.
I felt I had enough awesome Christmas stamps to play with, but next to NONE when it came to New Year's.

I have these eight coming to me this week, and when I try 'em out, I'll let you know how it goes.

I plan to list a very limited quanity in my shop in the upcoming weeks, so...if you're interested in any of them, e-mail me at [email protected], letting me know which ones.

Okay, ya'll! Thanks for visiting!

I'm so ready for Novemmy-ember.

P.S. -- Yes, that is a 2013 Bar Code stamp.  It might be my favorite. ;)
           My mom and sister weren't crazy about it. What do you think?

P.P.S. -- New month, new ABOUT image. :P

|week 38| my *Project Life* album

At this point in this project, it has sooo become mine.  I own my pages, and I know this PL medium.

It's great. Tons of fun.  My HOB-to-the-BE. ;)
