WOWZERS….these past several days have been a lesson well learned! 1st…
I MISSED YOU ALL…and I MISSED BLOGGING!
My fingers are crossed that this whole typepad thing is fixed but I would not be surprised if there are more clitches here and there for the next several days but…if I can get a post out to you…
I'll take it and smile!
Before we go much further I want you all to know that being down in cyber space made me realize even more how much I love what I do and how much I truly missed my "dailiness of blogging" Every time I looked at my computer I felt like there were my cyber friends in there that were stuck!!!!
I truly appreciated sooo many emails letting me know that my blog was not getting to them etc…it made me realize that we really do have a connection to each other…and this whole "Stampin' Up! thing we do"…really does make a difference in so many different ways!
SOOOOO much going on with Stampin' Up!…and it's all good! Remember that this is the week for …

A great opportunity to stock up on items you just cannot live without on a daily basis like paper, adhesives, envelopes etc…and this year all of the items are on a 1st come basis with the retiring products!
Let's touch on the retiring products before we get to our simple card! If this is the 1st time for you to go through this process of seeing that SU is retiring products….have no fear – I know it's hard to see some of your old faithfuls going bye-bye…but there will be great and exciting new products to come starting June 1st!

Updated list of retiring accessories – CLICK HERE!
Above are the lists and you will see that some items are already sold out…my advice is…if you see a product that you simply cannot live without…than GO FOR IT….it will be gone soon and far better to take advantage of the Free Shipping as well…HIT THE SHOP NOW button and have fun!

Click here to see the post that I focused on this and below is the picture of the blog candy you'll have a chance to win…10 super cute cards and envelopes! WOOT-WOOT!!!
OH NO….remember I said that there are probably still hiccups…
Well…I just hit one…Typepad is not letting me download photos that I have taken into my blog…I went back to past posts and I my pictures are not coming up….I guess we will have to be patient for another day!
One thing that I can tell you is…I made a super easy card and it is appropriately stamped with "Make a Wish"…as I have really, really been wishing that my blog was fixed! It's cute…it's simple and it's practical…I think it is worth the wait!
Before I went to sleep last night I emailed my dear friend Brian King…as I knew he would make me smile…and asked him to talk with the cyber gods for all of us that have typepad!!!! (I guess it helped a bit)
We are getting there and as I have been reminding myself…in the BIG PICTURE OF LIFE…this is a teeny tiny speed bump…true I know that it is an inconvenience but there are far worse things out there!!!
Day by day…we will be back strong and we will forget this whole thing happened…
Keep it simple in all areas of life and we will have a happy journey…
Until tomorrow….(missed you!)



Ahhh Susan, pictures are nice, but was was even better was seeing a blog post from you. I was fearful to click on it! Yeah, it came through. We missed you too and look forward to everything working out just fine. Have a great day. 🙂
Susan, I’m so very happy that things are working out now for you. I can’t imagine the frustration and helplessness you felt, specially because it was on their end and you really couldn’t do much about it. But you are right, in the road of Life, there are a few bumps, detours, bad weather, etc. that makes us appreciate even more the good days.
Glad to have you back.
I am very relieved it was a computer problem! I was worried about you! So, thank God, you’re okay! Perhaps that thought will get you through this. “It’s just a problem with the computer”. I can wait as long as I know you’ll be back. I look forward to seeing your cards each day. Take care.
Nice to see you post again and I will patiently wait for one of your masterpieces. Well worth the wait. Have a great day and don’t stress too much about it.
Well it is starting to look like your blog again, missed you. I do know what you mean about computers and things not coming out like they are supposed too:). Relax and enjoy the rest of the week, I’m sure it will all work out soon and you’ll be up and running as usual:)
I was going through withdraw not being able to see your daily post! Computers….a love/hate relationship….what would we do without them. Everything will soon be back to normal but in the mean time, stamp away!
o.k. I received the one yesterday but not this one. Oh, before I forget it, I used my neighbor’s Smooch Spritz on the dahlia card for the swap. The group all liked the extra little sheen it gave though I couldn’t tell it very much. I think I need to play with that stuff some more. Let;s hope Brian can do some good – I am missing a lot!
