I Spy….

I spy with my little eye….

Crafts n Things April 2008 issue

Anyone like that little birdie card on the cover? 😉 I must say…I just couldn’t believe my eyes the other day when Lauren sent me some congratulations. 🙂 I really had NO idea! I also have three other designs in there and just can’t wait to get my hands on that magazine.

As for my {C’est Bon} entry for today. With the renovations still going strong and my kitchen pretty much torn apart….I’m thinking {c’est bon} to take a day off. 🙂 I can’t wait to show you what I have in mind for my entry next week. I think you’ll love it as much as I.

Have a great day!

Sets for Sale…

It’s been a while since I updated my stamp sets for sale page. I spent quite a while yesterday…getting it all updated. 🙂 If you’ve never noticed it before, the Stamps for Sale tab is right at the top of my blog header. Just click and it will take you to my sale page. Some sets are brand new and others, lovingly used. I’ve found I have to pair down my stash if I’m ever going to get everything into my new (but small) stamp room. Also stay tuned… if you’re in the market for ink, I’m currently in the process of switching my ink pads over to Ranger Adirondack Ink. I’ll be listing those sometime in the next week. 🙂

Have a great weekend!

Lots Going On….a new release etc.

Today is the day for another Kim Hughes’ set release at Cornish Heritage Farms! Absolutely gorgeous, these sets are so much fun.

I’ve included a look at the sets here and for samples…just stop by the Cornish Heritage Farms gallery. Our fabulous design team has been hard at work! 🙂

It’s Monday and I’m busy working hard here. Happy Martin Luther King day to my American friends. I hope you are enjoying the holiday. It is business as normal here in Canada. In Ontario we’re in the middle of a cold snap. Brrrr…… I think I need to make some more warm weather cards!

International Thank You Day

While driving to the post office this afternoon, I heard on the radio that today was International Thank You Day. I’ve never heard of it before but it got me thinking. It is always great to send thank yous. I am thankful for so many things! I decided I’d just like to take a minute and thank YOU, my readers for faithfully stopping by to check out my designs and read what I have to say. It means a lot to me! So….thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Have a fabulous weekend!
