One trend, which makes complete sense, is stamps and papers featuring mailboxes and postage. Valentine’s Day is popular (at least in the US) for sending and receiving cards, often by mail. Even the kids make mailboxes out of shoe boxes for school! Here are some of my favorite products by Stampin’ Up! featuring this trend. […]

It’s cherry season! My daughter and I drove to North East – yes, it’s the name of a small town in northwest PA at the northeast of Erie County. We picked about 10-15 quarts of cherries from just one tree – we couldn’t stop! Before we craft some cherry desserts this weekend, I want to […]

Supply chain issues are annoying, so I keep a close look at the Stampin’ Up! Inventory Status.

The best Stampin’ Up! deal is always the demonstrator starter kit.  And even more so during Sale-A-Bration (ending March 31).  I’d love to have you on my team!
