I admit that a huge smile is on my face when I see that little red box with the NEW Paper Pumpkin in it. I think the element of the surprise is always what make me smile when I see the box. (sounds like a little kid when they get a new toy)

One thing that I am guaranteed each and every month is:

• I will have a FUN project for some “me time” as everything is included in the box!
• I will get a new “Stampin’ Spot” (that is a small cube of ink) – This month it is Watermelon Wonder
• I will get a new Stamp Set – This month it is a true Valentines classic one that will be used for years and years
• I know that I can count on having extra left overs as Stampin’ Up! is always generous to make sure you have ample. (Many times I switch it up so I can use the embellishments for a future project. (that is what I did this month)
• Because I subscribe to the Paper Pumpkin Program, I have the opportunity to purchase additional kit refills if they become available.
• All of this for just $19.95 a month and that includes shipping

I know that some of you are reluctant to make a purchase without seeing the months offering but to me that is part of it that makes it super fun….the element of a surprise and you just need to trust me on this one – they are great kits…they are always a fun time for yourself to create. Even if a kit on month might not be my style 100%, I always find a way to use it.

With us being in the Sale-a-bration mode, you can get a 3 month subscription to the Paper Pumpkin program for $55.00 and that will allow you to pick a FREE SALE-A-BRATION ITEM….tell me, how can you go wrong?

Grab a “Cup of Joe” and enjoy seeing this months kit

(I adore Stampin’ Ups! Videos they are doing with this program…super short and fun!)

When I saw this kit I immediately knew that these goodies would go to my son that is a teacher in the Boston area! I called him and he was excited for me to do this for his class –  I made each of them a heart with a fun sentiment and then asked my son about what candies he wanted me to send to him – I loved his response….

“Mom, I want to make them something myself” – wow…I think it is wonderful that he loves to cook…and WOWZERS, he has become quite the baker (one trait that I do not have) but when I asked him what was he going to make he said – “GRANOLA” – “I make great homemade granola and put it in a little bags,  it will be perfect for them on their yogurt” I just had laugh as I was totally thinking a great chewy and decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie! (He’s my super fit runner)

If you are interested in a great deal – I would say go for the (3) Month subscription as not only is it on sale ($55.00) and also you will be able to get a FREE Sale-a-bration item…. you will be set for (3) months of FUN kits that come delivered right to your door!
