WOW! 200 Stamps To Retire!

Since Wednesday, I have been getting  a Gateway 502 error.  Today someone posted a comment and when I came to publish it, I was able to get to my composing page from that selection.

I haven't forgotten you! I haven't been able to get into my blog at all- yikes!  I don't know this morning if the "error" is actually fixed and I hope this isn't how I have to get here until it is,.

 The Retired list is here!  With over 200 stamp sets being retired to make way for the new June 1st catalog...............  Don't miss out on any of these awesome sets!

Click this link for the PDF file  or click the 2nd link for the Excel file

You can order any of these stamps online HERE

or just click the shopping card graphic below! They will NOT be discounted at anytime before they are retired. Feel free to email me with your questions, I am happy to help!  

When you view the retiring stamps list, you may notice it's longer than in years past. During this transition to the new annual catalog, there are a higher number of stamps being refreshed and replaced than usual. While many stamps are going away, most are being replaced so that the breadth of our stamp lines is every bit as broad as ever! So Exciting!!

Why do I do this?

I love creating with rubberstamps and paper. I get a tremendous sense of accomplishment from creating something unique out of paper. I am thrilled to watch someone open a card or scrapbook and be surprised and delighted by what I have created just for them.

THAT is why I do what I do.

One on One Classes

Did you know that I teach 1 on 1 classes in Scrapbooking, Digital Scrapbooking, Cardmaking and Sewing (general sewing & quilting) and Gardening????

Yes! I do, I teach here in my studio and out in my garden.   

You bring your own supplies (you know that stuff you have been buying for years but really don't know how to use it).

I will teach you how to use them to create, scrapbook pages, cards, quilts, aprons, hot pads etc....

Contact me by email at the "Email Gwen" Tab (just click it) in the left column and tell me what you would like to learn, what dates you have available and I will send you a quick reply and we can begin the fun!

Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people."
