MY VINTAGE HAPPY PLACE

So here you have it!! My VINTAGE HAPPY PLACE!! I have been saying I am going to post pictures of my stamping studio for-ever….but then when I went back and looked at the first pictures I took I had changed SO MUCH in settling in….and the old pictures may have looked less “vintage cluttered” but they weren’t capturing the essence of my happy place! I could spend my entire life here, especially since my family can visit – what with the TV and all, and of course, what grandmother’s stamp room would be complete without the GRANDCHILD CORNER? (That’s the one with the teddy bear in the SU apron sitting on the weeny chair) When I had my old stamp studio, you had to step over the debris to find the table,,,,and my husband insisted I would have this one looking like that in no time at all, but I told him it was the space issue – this USED to be our master bedroom, and we are in the old stamproom at night now,,,,(when I finally turn the lights out here in my new stamp room and retire;)) But my husband is quick to admit now that he was wrong, I hardly EVER let this room get messy because I love love love love love it soooooo much!!! And it’s pretty easy to keep it clean because I organized it so much better, and it’s quite a bit larger then the other room too. ANYWAY, SU has some kicking specials going on right now and I’m about to tell you about them NOW!! Please check this out below, and then if you have enjoyed my little tour here, do me a favor and go stock up on paper while this great sale is going on!! JUST CLICK ON THE 24/7 SHOPPING BUTTON AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG – IT’S UP THERE SOMEWHERE, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A SPECIAL OR TWO AND I WILL RISE UP AND CALL YOU BLESSED!!! THANKS EVERYONE! HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LITTLE TOUR OF MY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY PLACE!!

ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!!!
The first is FREE SHIPPING for THREE DAYS, April 6-8th with no minimum order!!!! So stock up!!!!

and the second big announcement is:

Stampin’Up!’s color refresh!! I love color and I know you do too!! Color is fundmental to who Stampin’Up! is and what they offer. It’s important for us to stay up to date with color trends so I am thrilled to share Stampin’ Up’s updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as I am at the new possibilities!!!

Why now? In 2010 Stampin’Up! did a big color renovation and shared plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep their colors on trend. Well it has been three years and I am excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years) Stampin’ Up! is welcoming back some of your old favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand new color – so here are colors that are returning – DRUM ROLL PLEASE…..

Blushing Bride, (yay!!!) Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Soft Sky, (double yay!!), Pear Pizazz, (triple yay!!! these are my absolute favorites that I am yaying about), Wisteria Wonder, and Bermuda Bay! They are adding a new soft gray called Smokey Slate.

These are the colors that they are retiring in order to make room for the new ones, (and I will refrain from one big BOO, but I will be ordering lots of stock on the first one listed because it needs a great big giant BOO, but like I said I am refraining – those colors that are retiring are:

Baja Breeze, :(, More Mustard, Bashful Blue, Regal Rose, River Rock, Bravo Burgandy, (it’s about time – Bravo on the Bravo Burgandy), sorry, I digress….and let’s see, oh yes, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Riding Hood Red, and Not Quite Navy. SO STOCK UP ON YOUR FAVORITES HERE BECAUSE THESE BABIES WILL BE GONE AND THEY ARE ONLY SELLING STUFF WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!!! I WOULD CLICK ON THAT 24/7 BUTTON NOW IF I WERE YOU AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG AND TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW!!!! 😉 YOU WILL BE SO SORRY IF THEY ARE GONZO WHEN YOU GO TO BUY THEM!!!

OKAY, WELL, THERE ARE OTHER GREAT SPECIALS GOING ON….AND YOU MIGHT WONDER WHY MY BLOG DOESN’T HAVE ALL THE NEAT UPDATES LIKE EVERYONE ELSES DOES, AND THAT’S BECAUSE I AM A BIG FAT COMPUTER LOSER….AND I HAVE TRIED FOR FOUR HOURS NOW TO UPLOAD THOSE NEAT LITTLE THINGS SU GIVES US TO UPLOAD AND I CAN’T GET THEM ON HERE.
