To All Good Things Come An End...(and I am not just talking about 2011!)

Each cycle as a new Idea Book is released, I go through the rollercoaster of emotions.  I am thrilled with all of the new items but sad to turn loose of some of my beautiful, fun, "go to" items.  With the new Idea Book comes the sad farewell to so favorites.  What does that mean?  STOCK UP before they are gone!

I have been announcing the only returning paper packs will be:  Elemental, Typeset, Sonoma and Roxie.  ALL others in the Fall/Winter 2011 book will be retired.  Sad, I know!

You are going to LOVE the new embellishments in the Spring/Summer 2012 book, but that means they have to scoot some out to make room.  The following items are things you might want to include on your next order because they will no longer be available at regular price:

Additional farewells:

I don't know that I can say this has been the worst year ever, but I pray that 2012 finds my loved ones healthier, happier and more prosperous than in previous years.  

• May 2012 be a year when people stand up for themselves and worry more about what their Savior thinks and less about what others think.  
• With that said, may 2012 be a year when bullies check themselves and realize that their torment (much like Karma) will catch up with them and they will have to take responsibility for their actions!  
• May 2012 be a year that the quiet ones find their voices and shine so that the world stands up and takes notice!
• May 2012 find me a happy, healthy 40 year old who is ready to tackle the world as well as those who stand in the way of what I want for my friends, my family and MYSELF!  

However YOU choose to celebrate the dawning of another new year, I pray it is safe and filled with love and laughter.  Mine will be as we celebrate at home, huddled around the television watching the ball drop in NYC, eating pizza rolls and taquitos, toasting with Sparkling White Grape Juice at midnight (if I can make it) and listening to the fireworks courtesy of our neighbors.  Ahh, sounds like paradise, right?  Yep!

Grace, peace and a little coordinating ink,
