Getting Ready for some Stamping Fun

Since school starts on Wednesday, this weekend was all about family fun.  And that left little time for my computer.  Sorry for not posting.  We spent a bit of time with family and friends.  Went to movies and out to eat.  Thanks to everyone that made our weekend so much fun - The Halls, The Higgins and The Andersons!

I did manage to get a little stamping in though.  Mostly, getting things organized and ready for my upcoming garage sale.  Please don't forget to come.  I am pricing things low- most more than 50% off.  I really want to see my supplies find some really good homes.  Keep an eye out tomorrow, there will be some postings to remind you of upcoming activities.  And for those of you on my email list, watch you inbox too!

Okay, enough about all of that.  Here's the sample for tonight:

Stamp Set: Priceless
Paper: Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Naturals White
Inks: Chocolate, Baja Breeze, Rose Red
Accessories: Dimensionals, Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon

Cleaning Day 2

Another day of cleaning, sorting and organizing. I decided I needed to tackle my accessories and find out what I have that is current and what has been retired.  Boy, oh boy, what a job that turned out to be.  I'm not sure that I'm completely finished, but I am done for tonight.  It's time to spend a little time with the family.

Here is what I sorted through tonight:

• Craft Pads
• Ink refills
• Punches
• Eyelets
• Brads
• Ribbon (I have quite the selection of retiring ribbon)
• Coloring items including pencils and watercolor crayons
• Glitter
• Embossing powders
• Wheels - both regular and jumbo sizes
• and so much more

I must admit, it did feel really good to get stuff cleaned out.  You should see how wonderful my shelves are looking.  And now, I have two boxes full of accessories and paper and a rather large stack of stamp sets.  All of them will be looking for a loving home to reside in & to be used!  I will let you all know when I have everything priced and ready to sell.  And, let me tell you, they will be great deals - because I need the room for fun new items to start using in upcoming classes.  So far, I am planning the following for stamp classes:  Christmas, Birthday and Halloween.  I'm getting more and more excited about new stamp sets, new papers, new colors and new accessories!  WOOHOO!!!

I love the phrase included in this stamp set:
