Good morning, my peeps! It’s the first full day on our cruise – and this is an “at sea” day! We’ll be doing our first SU! session this morning (and will probably get a first look at the 2018 Holiday catalog! Which I can’t share yet – sorry!).
I figured you might like a few pictures from yesterday…
We arrived at the pier on the first bus of the morning…
And the Explorer of the Seas came into view.
Well, folks – today’s the day! Today we board the Explorer of the Seas and head off on the Stampin’ Up! Alaskan Cruise!
I want to send a huge HUGE thank you to all my customers who helped to make this day possible. I’m really looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new, seeing the sights and sharing lots of pictures with y’all!
It’s here, folks! If you haven’t noticed it – the new Catalog is LIVE and available for ordering!
Click right here to head to my Online Store and get started!
We’ve been waiting and today’s the day!
I know you’ve got your ordering fingers ready – I’ve been stretching and flexing mine since yesterday. I. Am. READY!!
Just a reminder…
Hey folks! I’m feeling generous this week and we’re getting ready to wave good-bye to the 2018 Occasions and 2017- 2018 Annual Catalog, so I decided to give y’all a little bonus for ordering!

Hey, y’all! Welcome to the weekend. Again! Wow. Time is flying – Sale-A-Bration ends TODAY! So…if you’ve been “waiting till the last minute”….uhm….the last minute is upon you! 😉
Friday was busy for me – Finn to the vet (he’s fine!), real-work busy-ness, horse-shoer….bottom line, when I got ready to get a project together to share with you for today, I needed to select from one of my quicker to-do-list goodies!
Enter…the Sharpie Holder! 🙂
I’d seen this quick and fun project on Pinterest – from The Papered Chef – and thought they’d be fun to make. And since they’re quick and easy – they’re perfectly perfect if you need a bunch of them! The base is simply a strip of DSP – I used the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP – and a sentiment. I grabbed one from Truly Tailored – the punny-ness of it was just too cool. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all!
Well? What do you think of the new look?
There’s probably a little tweaking left to do, but…I’m loving it – and sending a great big Thank You to Jane from Fancy That Jane who managed to fulfill all my requests! Dogwoods – pines – and the pony! Plus – my favorite wood background! Remind you of any particular paper in the Wood Textures DSP? 😉
Now – if you’ll forgive me the indulgence – I’m going to pat myself on the back just a smidge.
Yesterday, at the grocery store, I ran into my good friend.
Only – she looked right at me and didn’t recognize me!
Guess that’s what dropping 106 pounds will do, eh? 🙂
Yep. That’s the current number!
So – my loss is your gain! Literally!
For today and tomorrow only – I’m offering DOUBLE Peppermint Points on all orders over $50 (before Shipping and Tax)!
Well – it’s Friday the 16th…and that means….yep! We’ve hit the half-way point of Sale-A-Bration and there are three new goodies now available for you to select for FREE!! I’m celebrating with a bonus Ordering Special good today only – read on!
Check ’em out! We’ve got two new products available with a $50 purchase. The fun Eclectic Expressions stamp set and the gorgeous Springtime Foils Specialty DSP! Continue reading
Good Sunday morning, y’all! Hope you’re having a good weekend!
We went to the StampNStorage sale up north of Atlanta yesterday. I bought a few things – that I probably don’t need, but…SALE. Hello?!? And – we picked it all up and brought it home with us. So now there’s a need for a slight re-arrangement of my stamping spot! Will be getting on that today!
Tonight, we’ll have a little live FB video – I’ll be on an hour earlier than usual at 7pm Eastern so that I’ll be ready for our Team Meeting at 8! We’re going to make a clean and simple card with the new Springtime Foils DSP (SAB second release – available on 16 Feb) and a little help from the SAB Amazing You stamp set and matching Celebrate You Thinlits. Here’s a sneaky peek:
I hope you’ll be able to join me – remember it’s at 7pm eastern!! Here’s a link right to my Stamps-N-Lingers FB page – see you then! Continue reading

And your ribbon will come in a continuous 4 yd (or 2 yds for the Copper Trim) length!
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Finn-Fan Fix…
I didn’t realize exactly what he was trying to tell me the other night with this look….
We were putting the girls out to spend the night stuffing their faces and tucking Bo in his bedroom with the rest of his dinner.
Finn pulls up in front of me…
When we got back in the house, I went back to writing a blog post and Wayne hit the shower.
Finn is with me in the living room while I type away. He climbs the steps next to my chair and puts his hand on my leg. And whines.
I say….no, Finn-y, we can’t do that, Mom’s gotta to work. Not sure why I refer to myself in the third person…?
Wayne hears me and says – come on in here, Finn!
Surprisingly….he goes! 👀😮
He was – apparently! – ready for bed. Too hot. Too tired. Just needed his house, his two mini-milk-bone go-to-bed treats, and the fan pointed on him.
By the time I got done, he was sawing lags.
Sometimes the great weariness just overcomes a kid and he just has to go to bed.
Know what I mean?
