Who thinks I should give away some stamps?

The stamp sell is going gangbusters!  I didn't work Friday but I have been told that you kept Cyndi and Laura very busy and then on Saturday, Brittany and I were also very busy.  Tomorrow the discount goes to 50% - so if you haven't come in - better do it now. 

I know there are people reading my ramblings - I can look at the stats and tell exactly how many each day.  It's amazing really.  So I thought I would reward those who take the time to read all those strange things that I sometimes write very early in the morning.

As I told you before, we are getting the entire Inque Boutique Line.  They offer two starter sets that are pretty awesome, one is geared towards scrappers and one towards stampers.  I am going to give this one to one lucky blog readerSb_starter_set

It is the Stephanie Barnard starter set and has 248 stamps. That's a lot of stamps! So all you have to do is comment on the blog before October 20th (the day of the Spooktacular Stampfest) and I will print off all the comments and draw one name and they will win!  You can make any comment - you can tell me how much you love the stamps, how cute my children are, that you have a wonderful recipe to share, that Scrapbooking In Paradise is the best store ever - whatever you want. So start talking folks!

See you in Paradise,

Rhonda

ps. you will want to check back tomorrow for all the details on the spooktacular stampfest -

It'a all about the stamps! (aka - let's have a sale!)

I have been stamping a lot lately - those who take my classes have noticed that there is more stamping involved.  It might be because they are so versatile or it could be because I have thousands of stamps (unfortunately I'm not kidding) and I start to feel guilty if I don't  use them or it could be because the Spooktacular Stampfest is coming up and I have been preparing for it... whatever the reason, I am loving it.  So let me tell you all the exciting stamp news...

FIRST - We are having a stamp/stamp accessory sale. It's a big one too. Starting on Friday September 28th all stamps & accessories will be 40% off.  The 40% off will be Friday & Saturday.  Then on Monday Oct 1,2,3rd all stamps & accessories will be 50% off.  Then Thursday Oct 4,5,6th all stamps & accessories will be 60% off. You can wait if you want, but we can't guarantee there will be any stamps left.   Now if you are saying "why are you selling your stamps - aren't you going to carry them anymore?"  The answer is yes we are going to carry stamps, but we have decided to carry the ENTIRE line from Inque Boutique (pronounced "ink") If you are not familiar with this company you should check them out HERE.  They are awesome and we fell in love with their product and decided to bring in the whole line.

SECOND - The Spooktacular Stampfest is going to be our kick-off with the new Inque Boutique line.  We have a fun day of activities planned and all the particulars will be announced on Monday - so make sure you check back on the blog then!

So to recap - sale starting on Friday and going through next Saturday, Spooktacular Stampfest info coming on Monday, Inque Boutique coming soon - all of it!

See you in Paradise!

Have I told you how much I love Quickutz?

I am sure many of you who know me even in the slightest of capacities know how much I love my Quickutz.  I have had Quickutz since they started and stayed faithful to them .  How can I not?  They continue to be innovators in the industry, they have awesome customer service and every month they make me happy with new dies!  This month I am really, really  happy. I love the new shapes!  (I think I say that every month, except the month of maternity stuff, cause I'm not having any more kids, my two are perfect) We had our Quickutz club meeting last night and we all had fun creating with the new dies.  So come on in and check them out - you won't be sorry!

Why haven't I blogged lately?

Because I have been knee deep in new product - checking it in, putting it in the computer, magically making room for it all on the floor - that's what I have been doing - so let me tell you what has arrived via our lovely UPS and FEDEX boys -

Basic Grey - Five new lines - all beautiful, as usual

Marvy  - 3" scalloped punches in square, oval and circles

Signo - the wonderful white pen that actually works!

Me and My Big Ideas - new bling, papers, rub-on

The Paper Lady - whimsical, fun paper with animals and beach themes

Inkadinkadoo - new Halloween stamps

Meri Meri - you must see the hairy spider she came out with - it is stinkin' cute!

Sugartree -new animal papers perfect for Animal Kingdom, Busch Gardens or the Zoo

Anna Griffin - Christmas papers that are so adorable, some funky and some traditional

Stemma - new travel and birthday papers

Stamping Station - restocked all the state papers and new state park die cut sheets and state brad sets

American Crafts - new rub-ons, thicker alphabets and embellishments

EK Success - there is sooooo much new EK stuff I don't know where to begin, plus we restocked everything.  I spent an entire day just checking stuff in!  New Christmas Jolee's, generational Jolee's baby albums, Disney galore - too much to mention, just come in a see

Creative Imaginations - the new Bare Elements stuff is starting to trickle in and we got a few of the papers that we ordered. 

So you can see that I have been busy.  Plus I have been making samples for the Twelve Weeks of Christmas classes at Night - so you will be seeing all those late next week. 

Lots of new stuff to see - come on in, I'll be here all week!

See you in Paradise,
