SPS Weekend Specials! ENABLER ALERT!

Okay ladies and gent (I only know one who may read this, sweet dear Alberto, hehe)!

Are you prepared to be enabled?

Feast your eyes on a new feature that Shop Pumpkin Spice will be having: WEEKEND SPECIALS.  If you didn't think SPS's prices couldn't get any lower, well, you were wrong!  Every weekend there were will be two or more specials that you probably won't be able to resist.  I'm telling you, these deals will be awesome.

Check out the specials below and run, don't walk, to the Shop Pumpkin Spice store!

 

This only works out to $3.33 a pad!!

Weekend Specials

 

 

EEEKK!! Spellbinders at great prices!!

I actually just discovered this at the Shop Pumpkin Spice store, but I had to share it with you right away!  The store has some GREAT prices on Spellbinders and Denine will custom order them for you.  You can head to the product page HERE.

Just to give a quick comparison, most of the "Labels" Nestabilities are in the "X1" price code so most are $17.50!!  What an awesome price!  Then some of the newer ones, like the Ironworks Motifs which I completely fell in love with (you can see what it looks like here) are just $21.00 compared to the usual "discounted" $25 that most stores are selling it at.  I'm telling you, I'm in big trouble!

The catalog also has some of the pretty Nestabling stuff, but I'm not sure what the price is on those because the "D3" category isn't listed on the chart.  I will let you know once I find out!

Spinks and Spooks available now!

Hi everyone!

Sorry this is a little late, but I just wanted to announce that all Tickled Pink Stamps the images and sentiments that I was previewing last week are available in the Tickled Pink Stamps store now!

Also, Kellie has a candy HERE where you can will all the stamps AND the sentiment set AND the die.  How cool is that?  Make sure you head over to her blog for a chance to win!

Cool tape dispensers!

This is a totally random posting, which I don't do too often, but I just had to share these!  How awesome are they?!  I would have liked them more if they were peep toes ;)

Enabler alert! Spellbinders and papers!

Just wanted to quickly post about a great site for the new Spellbinders (and other items) that I found yesterday!  They have Spellbinders in stock HERE at amazing prices.  I was originally looking to buy the Fancy Tags 3 and Labels 18, but couldn't resist grabbing up some others.  The regular Nestabilities are only $17.49!  They're currently out of stock of the Fancy Tags 3, but I grabbed that up for under $14!  Shipping prices are very reasonable and the customer service is great.  I ordered last night, received an email that certain products were out of stock and that the ones that they have on hand are shipping today :)  Oh, and they have great deals on certain stamps, too.  I had to pull myself away from that website before I got out of hand!

 1-2-3 Stitch

Also, while I was there, I began browsing the crochet section and have decided to learn how to crochet, lol.  Those crochet flowers and little animals are so cute.

Oh, and then of course, there's always Pumpkin Spice for paper!  I just grabbed up some My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pads from the Lime Twist Collection for $4.19 a piece along with Echo Park 6x6 paper pads for the same price.  Again, her shipping prices are great, too!

I just wanted to share this with all of you since I am cheap and I hate to pay for ridiculous shipping.

Hope you're all having a good start to your week!

The Love To Stamp store is now open!!

I just wanted to let you guys know that Angie Hunt (Scrapgrl) has just opened up her new store called Love to Stamp!  She is selling a wide variety of Whimsy Stamps Sentiments and Dies WAY below retail prices so go ahead and stock up.

Oh, and of course, she has her new line of Little Darlings rubber stamps that are oh-so-adorable.  I know I'll be ordering some :)

MME and Graphic 45 paper pads for CHEAP!!

I'm only posting this now because I already bought my paper pads, lol.  You HAVE to check out this store: Pumpkin Spice.

I've been vehemently searching for the MME Stella and Rose paper pads because they've been sold out at so many retailers, but I'm glad I held out because Pumpkin Spice has UNBEATABLE prices for these pads!

My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose 6x6 pads for....

$4.19 a pad!!

Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime 8x8 pads for....

$6.99 a pad!!

I haven't seen prices that low, not even close.  Shipping is really reasonable too. Free shipping at $50!  Also, if you don't purchase over $50, shipping is still really cheap.

She (her name is Denine) has lots of other papers, but I've been craving these particular ones for a while now.  I don't know when I'm going to have time to use them, but they WILL be used!

I just HAD to share! I hope you can grab some up before they're gone!

Winter CHA anyone?

Just wondering if anyone is going to Winter CHA this year.  I'll be there, aimlessly wandering around, not at a booth or anything.

Hope to bump into you!  I'll be the one oooh-ing and aaaaah-ing at everything :)

Top 10 of 2010 and fav dog pictures of 2010

I've been seeing this type of post everywhere so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and join in.  So much fun!  I couldn't pick 10, though, so I narrowed it down to 12.  Better than the 20 that I started out with!

Back when I used to color with Copics:

Using my new-found love of distress reinkers:

No images:

I also added my own twist which is my favorite pictures of our dogs from 2010.  Puppies grow up too fast!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you share your favorite creations and/or favorite pet pictures, too :)

My Poor Neglected Blog

Hello everyone :)

Some of you may be wondering where I've been because my poor blog has been left to tend for itself.  I've been a bit busy behind the scenes designing some sentiments and taking off for some family time.  Summer is winding down, but it feels like I didn't even have a summer, which is a good thing and a bad thing.  How time flies when you're having fun! A lot of projects are taking up some time and along with a promotion at work, there's hardly much to do any cardmaking.  You'll see also that my weekly Whimsy Stamps posts will be missing because of the behind-the-scenes things I mentioned above :) 

I'm posting my Prairie Fairy project from last week.  I know, how pathetic that I haven't posted it until now.  I'm sorry, team!

Away on vacation!

I'm taking a much needed mini vacation starting tomorrow and through Monday night at the Sequoia National Forest.  I am sorry if I don't respond to your emails; I will be cut off from technology :)

Oh, and wish me luck that the bears don't eat our food!
