It's been awhile since my last post back in November. While I would LOVE to be one of those people who posts 3 or 4 times a week (or like Super Stamper/Blogger/SU Demo Brian King who posts to his blog 365 days a year!!!) I need to be realistic. It's not going to happen. Maybe someday but not anytime in the foreseeable future. While I do try to create something everyday, (my crafty brain requires it to function properly!) there is just not enough time in the day to create something fabulous, photograph my creation, edit and watermark those photos, and write and edit a blog post and still take care of all the other aspects of my life.
For those of you who also subscribe to my newsletter you already know that my goal this year (I hate the word "resolution") is to slow it down a little. To become more organized and not sweat the small stuff. To do what I can realistically accomplish and not beat myself up for not fitting it all in. So, I'll post when I can, or when I think I have something wonderful to share, or whenever I find myself with a few extra minutes in my day. I hope you will stick with me and just be pleasantly surprised when a post shows up in your inbox...no expectations, no anticipation, no schedule. Just an unexpected little surprise, from me to you, that will hopefully inspire some creativity of your own when you least expect it.
That being said, it is my most favorite time of the year at Stampin' Up....Sale-a-Bration! The Sale-a-Bration and Occasions Catalogs go live tomorrow (YEAH!) and I have been busy playing with all my new toys from both catalogs. So, although I make no promises, you will be hearing from me a lot more than usual in the next 3 months. There are just too many beautiful new stampin' goodies not to share.
- Need some Inspiration? If you would like to get some Sale-a-Bration and Occasions inspiration from some of my fellow demonstrators from around the globe, please follow my 2016 Occasions and SAB Board on Pinterest.

I will leave you today with a quick and easy card I whipped up a bunch of to include in my catty packs that went out to my customers. (you may have received one already!) This card features the brand new "Botanicals for You" Stamp Set that just happens to be one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration offerings for 2016.
That awesome paper is from the "It's My Party" Designer Series Paper Stack...a bright, cheery, supersized stack of fabulous prints for just about $0.50 a sheet!
The inside of my card is stamped with one of the three sentiments that is also included in this FREE stamp set...
This is a great set for any occasion and because of the size of the main image, very easy to put together and mass produce very quickly with stunning results! See, I have been busy!
Remember, both the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration Brochure go live tomorrow morning at 2 am MT (that is 4 am eastern for us Floridians) Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or to help you with your wish list!
Happy New Year and thanks for stoppin' by!
