Good Monday and here is to a GREAT week!I am coming back and adding to this post as Stampin' UP! just revelled the retiring list of products for the current Holiday Catalog. This is a fantastic time to get this Santa….

Remember, it is only while supplies last for the retiring goodies so if there is something that you have been looking at and on the fence about…..DO IT!!!

Click here to see the list….

and then pull out your catalog and have fun!

I want to give you all a HUGE shout out for the wonderful comments that you have left on my blog the past 2 days.We have another lucky winner!

To me, it is a wonderful way to "hear where  you are" with what you like and would like to see with Stampin' UP! but then yesterday was a fabulous glimpse of how you became "hooked" with this fabulous and healthy "obsession" we have in creating cards!

I will share with you my thoughts about the past 2 days posts after we chat a bit about this "hands down" adorable Santa!

If you click here you will see the post that I did at the beginning of the month with the curvy keepsake box that was a Thanksgiving Theme…..because of that darn calendar rolling forward so fast, the Santa is replacing the Thanksgiving for any orders that I receive from today until the end of the month!

This adorable Santa was totally cased from the super talented Mikaela Titeridge  and you can click here to see the tutorial that she graciously has on the Internet (thank you Pinterest)!!!

I am sure that you would love to receive this adorable guy and I would love to pack him up and send him to you!Yes, he does have a "window" on the back side that you can take a peek inside to see what goodie you have. (Yep, I did M & M's again)!

These would also be SUPER CUTE to have as name settings for your Holiday Table. You could write the persons name on the little tag….I am going to do this and also for my sons class (I know that his kids will love them)

Again, click here to see the post with all of the specific on how you can get this adorable Santa plus an opportunity for you to get the Silicone Craft Mat from me absolutely free!

Please remember to use the

Hostess Code of 4JUNK3R7

to take advantage of both of these FREEBIES from ME!

Way to go and I am soooo happy for you! Please shoot me an email and I will make a trek to the good old Post Office and send them to you! I think that it is wonderful that you remember your 1st stamp set and that it still makes you happy!

Now to some fun thoughts from me! I want you all to know how much I enjoyed and appreciated your comments and as I said yesterday, we have similar thoughts…if I had a "magic ball" some of my very first thoughts of what I really, really would like to see are….

• stitched framelits
• more sentiment dies
• Thick Card Stock in Very Vanilla
• Notecards and Envelopes in Very Vanilla
• adhesive strips for shaker cards (like the ones that are in the Holiday Shaker Cards, I will be blogging about them next week)

I "hear you loud and clear" about more sentiments for the insides of cards and I know that I need to do a better job sharing and helping you with ideas – thanks for sharing your wishes…

Shipping….I hear you and I feel your pain! I will say that I HOP on the train when I hear FREE SHIPPING (with a favorite store/website).…and yep – it would be a great if SU offered that….(I will say, since I have been a demonstrator they did have it once….who knows – maybe they will do it again) I think that there were some FABULOUS ideas for shipping price suggestions and trust me, I will pass them on!

I know that I want to share with you my introduction with Stampin' Up! but we will do that another day, (This post is already long) and guess what, I am not going anywhere as I LOVE what I do and I ADORE helping YOU! Please have fun shopping away and I will be happy to "pack up a Santa and silicone mat"

Guess what tomorrow will be….a small but hopefully exciting "sneak peek" of the new goodies…..I am very happy with the new catalog and Sale-A-Bration….wowzers – get ready to be doing the happy dance!

You all are the best and I soooooo appreciate you….(so does Eddie and all of his friends)! Until tomorrow!
