THE RUSH IS ON!
 
How are you all doing right about now? In the middle of the last push/rush to get everything done for the big day?  Hopefully everyone has gotten pretty much everything done and are ready. I can’t buy some things for our dinners until Saturday because I don’t want them to go bad before Christmas eve and Christmas day. I do have all my wrapping to do but I put most all of my gifts in gift bags and it makes it so much easier and I like the look of the bags.
 
It’s Not Too Late!
I wanted to let you all know about a few things that you might want to think about if you still have some last minute gifts to buy!  How about a “GIFT CERTIFICATE” from Annabelle’s Stampin’ Studio?  There is still time for me to get it to you. I can pop it in the mail tomorrow and if you’re local you will get it on Saturday as I will go to the GMF in Santa Ana.  Or if you’d like I can meet you and give it to you in person, tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday. Think about it! It’s a great stocking stuffer because you can buy it any amount you’d like. Remember, Gift Certificates are not redeemable through Stampin’ Up! they’re only redeemable through me and Annabelle’s Stampin’ Studio.
 
 
 
Clearance Rack & Year End Clearance
 
I want to also let you know that the Clearance Rack has been updated.  A lot of new items have been added and are up to 70% off.  There are also a lot of good deals on the Year End Clearance Sale.  Click the Shop Now button to go directly to my online store. You will not get these items before Christmas but there are some basic things that you might want to add to your collection at a great price.

AND

Did you get your copy of the New Occasions Catalog for 2018 and the Sale-a-Bration Brochure in the mail?  I’ve talked to a few of you and you said that you have gotten them. If you have not gotten them and you are a regular customer of mine, let me know and I will get one to you right away.  Also if you don’t have a demonstrator, I’d like to earn your business so if you’d e-mail or text me on where to send your own copy, I will do that for you.  
I’ve earned a few sets from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and have pre-ordered some really neat product out of the Occasions Catalog.  I’m looking forward to playing with it and creating some really fun things. At the first workshop of the year we will be using all new product from the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration Brochure. 
 
 
Stamparatus
 
I want to remind you that you can still reserve a Stamparatus!  The first round of reserved Stamparatus’  will be in on or around February 1, 2018. The second reservation round goes from December 1 to December 30 which is next Saturday.  If you order now on the second round of reservations they will begin shipping on March 19.  There is no limit on how many reservations they will take for the second round so you will definitely get it if you order by December 30.  Go to my online store and click on Stamparatus “Reserve Now” to reserve yours.  You card will NOT charged until it ships in March. Stampin’ Up! simply needs your credit card number to hold your reservation.
 
 
New Year News!
 
Keep looking here on my blog for the first workshop in 2018!  I can’t believe it’s almost 2018!  Where have the years gone? I’m going on my 24th year with Stampin’ Up!. Stampin’ Up! is celebrating it’s 30th birthday this year.  I think they’re planning some fun things for all of us this year.  We’ll be celebrating in Orlando, FL next November with a big 30th birthday party.   Time really flies.
 
I’m really looking forward to the new year and to all of the fun things I have planned for our workshops in the New Year.
