Oh, Hello!

Cottage Wall......music to my ears.  Cottage Wall as a designer series paper that we had last year....before we changed our color families around.  I loved it.....and so did many of you.  It was springy and lovely and a great color blend of orchid, razzleberry and olive.  Mmmm....just made you think spring.  Anyway, it retired and I was introduced to my new favorite paper, Deck the Halls.

Anyway, Cottage Wall is now a digital download for MDS!  Yeah!! 

And even better......the matching stamp set is available as a download too!  Yeah!

It really is the little things that make me happy.  If you'd like to add this (and many new downloads) to your MDS, just click on shop now on my website or blog.

My Crazy Life

Hi Stampers,
I apologize for having been out of the loop for a bit, but I had some health issues recently and was in the hospital for awhile.  Thanks to so many of you who prayed for me and my family, sent cards and hung in there while my husband "ran" my business for a few weeks.  I am home now and recovering very slowly, but surely.  I am continuing with my stamping business, but it's a bit of a struggle since I don't have the full feeling in my hands.  You see, I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with Guillain Barre Syndrome.  If you want to read the whole long, sad, scary...but happy ending story, you can check it out on my other blog Farmin' in the Ville

Anyway, due to this disease, I really can't stamp yet, but I hope too soon.  I have an "assistant" who is going to help me prepare for classes, so hopefully, we'll continue on in March as usual.   Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Clarence is here!

As a joke, I sometimes call my husband "Clarence" because he LOVES a good deal!  It's kind of a mock of our local town slang because many folks around here like to shop "clarence" (also known as clearance).

So, if you enjoy a good deal as much as Clarence does, be sure to check out my clearance rack on my website!  Lots of good items for up to 60% off.  Remember, you an ONLY order clearance rack items on my website....I can't order them for you AND make sure to combine items to save on shipping. 

You can get to my site by clicking on the clearance button in the middle of my blog.

Enjoy!
