Just when you think that your shopping is done….click here to see – yesterday they restocked the clearance and there are some great goodies in there! Many have been "SWOOPED" up but trust me…there are some keepers in there!

This is the time of the year when you will be able to see that certain items are going to "RETIRED STAMPIN HEAVEN" and I know….that makes many of us sad but we also know that there will always be new products to replace them!

I want you all to know how I feel about retired products…there are many that I LOVE and even though they are retired that does not mean that I do not keep them and use them for my personal use. They touched my heart when they came out….they still make me smile so why should I get rid of them…..

I simply do not post ideas with them as it would not be fair to you if you could not purchase the product….so the moral of the story is….if you like it and you think you will use it….than buy it….if not – you know that there will be others!

Here are my top 3 sad good-byes!

There are always surprises in the goodbye department….my biggest surprise with the stamp sets….

• The Fall Fest Stamp Set and Framelits.…I ADORE these are was really, really hoping that they would be back next year! I found this stamp set to be so versatile….it will stay at my house!
• Mingle All the Way – I used this soooooo much and it has been a true blue friend!

• Good Greetings Stamp Set – Now this I am super super surprised about as it was a "Hostess only" set and this is ONE GREAT STAMP SET! Love…LOVE the font. I simply cannot tell you how many times I am working on a card and want to use this set but I do not as I know it is one that you could not purchase…..so – I WOULD SWOOP THIS ONE UP!

Now to my "Happy place" as I have SWOOPED these up!

• All is Calm Snowflake Embellishments – I used these on a Christmas Card for my Stamp of the Month Kit and it was just stunning…they are beautiful and I am one that usually does not like fru-fru!

• Cherry Cobbler 1" Ribbon – now I thought I had already bought it all up – I am shocked that Stampin' Up! still has this!! This is the deal of all deals! My holiday packages all look amazing as I used this a bunch!

Remember, you can tie 25 of the mini boxes with just 1 spool….you bet I am stocked up for next year! Love it!

• Under the Tree Speciality Paper – This is the best for making boxes! I love the natural feel of the paper and the sturdiness is perfect! In the card it went!

Well…that's it for today! Please make sure that you order goodies before they run out! Click here and you will be good to go! I am happy with the goodies I purchased!

As I type this post my last "peep" is at the airport but there is a delay. The weather on the East Coast is very foggy and rainy. John and Hannah made the trek to Baltimore for him and are waiting. Once I hear the dogs bark I will be a happy Mom!!!

It is very rare for all of us to be together at the same time….I am going to cherish the next couple of days….it is a joy!

Speaking of JOY….tomorrow is a special day for many of us and I will share with you (quickly) some "JOY"!

Until tomorrow!
