Out of Quarantine
and
The New 2020-2021 Catalog Is Out!
Can it be true? Yes, it’s true! we can finally start inching out a little bit and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful sunshine. While we’re not completely out of the woods yet, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is finally under a good control and very few new cases have been added since mid March. If all of us continue doing our part, we will be continuing to help control the virus. It definitely hit some harder than others, but hard nonetheless.
We’ve changed the way we do things all the way from the way we eat, shop, work, play, dress, socialize and entertain ourselves. We went from eating out, to cooking at home (my son learned how to use an InstaPot), shopping the malls to shopping online, working in the office to woking at home, going to movie theaters to streaming movies online. We’ve gone from going to sports to watching old games online, we’ve gone from gathering in large crowds like weddings (my son’s wedding postponed until next summer) funerals, parties, graduations to drive by celebrations and we’ve added a new fashion statement to our wardrobe, the “Mask”. Instead of asking what are you wearing tonight, we’re going to ask which mask are you wearing with your new dress?”
How has all this changed your life? Each one of us has our story albeit happy, sad, or everything in between. All I can say is I’m still here supporting you, helping to keep you up to date with your very special hobby and love of paper crafting. There has never been a better time than now that we can all use receiving a special card in the mail or send a beautiful card to a loved one that we haven’t been able to see for 3 months. I’m sure that each one of us has someone in our lives that will be quarantined much longer than the average person. Let’s show them some love, the elderly and more mature. Let’s take advantage of this “down” time to create beautiful projects and not let our minds remain idle, but to use them to create good and send love. Take the time to send someone you love something from the heart that can never be taken from them, a paper hug and a written note of love, inspiration and hope. We’re almost done, just a little longer and we’ll all be stronger.
2020-2021 Annual Catalog
Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she beautiful? Of course I’m referring to the new 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. If you haven’t gotten your copy, let me know and I’ll get one to you right away. I never know where to start when looking at it. Do I start in the back and go toward the front? Do I start in the front and move to the back? Do I start in the middle and go to the front, then go back to the middle and go toward the back? I bet you thought there was just one way, right? Well, leave it to me to mix it up a bit!
I’m going to just put it out there right here and now that I’m completely in LOVE with the Peony Garden Suite. I’ve always loved Peonies. They look so fresh, they’re fluffy and while they look very elegant, they can also look very Victorian with an an antique inspiration The full Peony Garden Suite can be seen on pages 82-84 of the catalog.
Here are some beautiful images from the catalog showcasing the Peony Garden Suite. I love the soft yet rich look of the whole suite.

*Note: To buy the Peony Garden Suite click on the upper left item. The other items I’ve added are necessary to turn your projects and cards into beautiful pieces of art. I’ll be you won’t want to give them away. But please do, people will love them.
New Catalog Launch Workshop
Date: June 20, 2020
Time: 12 Noon to 5:00 pm
Cost: $30
Includes: All materials needed to make 5 cards, lunch and door prizes. I also provide bottled water and Iced tea.
Because of social distancing and the current Covid-19 situation, I will be keeping attendance to a group of 10 or less. If you are showing signs of cough, fever or shortness of breath, I ask that you stay home and attend another time. It is up to you if you’d like to wear a mask and I will have work tables set up in 2 rooms to allow for 6′ of separation. It is first come, first served to save your seat. With the limiting of my classes, I will now be collecting the workshop fee in advance. For your convenience I accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Cash app. You can also mail me a check. There will be no refunds unless you get sick before the workshop.
