Well hello! Alright, we all know I’m not the greatest blogger. I get so excited and make cute projects, but forget to post them! Oops! I do have a goal to blog more often. It won’t happen for a few months, though, for good reason … and I’ll get to that in a minute.
But first … OOH!
September 1st introduced our brand new HOLIDAY MINI catalog!! This is always my favorite mini of the year. This year does not disappoint!
You really just have to go check it all out for yourself (click here), but here are a couple of my oodles of favorites.
1×8″ cello bags! LOVE these. You get 50 for $2.50. Yes please! I have a bunch of these in store for oodles of things. Halloween treats, valentines, licorice or pencils fit in these, billions of ideas.
Holiday Stocking sizzix die!
Just one cute example of an idea. (This was from Convention.)
Cute designer series paper! Just one of several new designs.
This one is called Spice Cake. And guess what? It also comes in fabric! (3 patterns)
Aw, little felt cuties!
Winter Wishes. Adorably adorable.
Out On a Limb stamp set — hee hee!
If you haven’t heard about this next one yet … hold on to your hats.
Introducing the Simply Scored!!! A scoring tool — goodness gracious, this is amazing for so many reasons. Click the image above to see a bit more info.
And a little Simply Scrappin’ — Christmas Lane. This is such an awesome easy peasy way to throw together a scrapbook (or a blank one as a gift!) or some Christmas cards. Love.
Okay, there is so much more (silver glimmer paper? Ooh!) — click here to go check it all out. If you don’t have a copy of this catalog in your hands, let me know — I’ll getcha one right away.
So what have I been so busy with lately? What’s my excuse? Well, not to get too personal on this blog, but the gist is that I’m still struggling with this injury.
I broke my foot on June 30th. Over 2 months later I’m not anywhere near where I thought I would be. I think I’m grateful that I didn’t know at the time the extent of the injury! I knew it would be inconvenient and painful, but I had no idea what I’d gotten myself into. Oopsie! (Oh, and how? Just a simple slip on the stairs. Go figure.)
In a nutshell, I broke 3 metatarsals and damaged ligaments. It’s called a Lisfranc fracture and often requires surgery, so I was lucky to escape that one! I was completely non-weight-bearing for 8 weeks and just recently started putting small amounts of weight on it. I should be fully walking on it by next week, but still in a boot through September. I’m 34 weeks pregnant right now, so you could do the math and figure out that it’ll be cutting it kind of close with healing/baby timing! I am really hoping and praying that I will be walking somewhat normally with a newborn.
It’s been a really difficult process for me, so I’ve cut back on a few things while in ‘survival mode.’ I won’t get into all of the woes of why it’s been tricky. Getting ready for baby (and taking care of my girls) has been impossible without mobility, so I’m allowing more time for these things right now. I can’t tell you how grateful I’ve been for helpers! (big and small — my kids have had to grow up a lot.)
So yes, I do plan to blog more … just not yet! Hee hee. After a little (lot) of foot rehab and maternity leave, I do hope to be back to some sense of normal before long! Wish me luck. Don’t give up on this waddling/hobbling girl just yet.
Thanks, and happy shopping with those new goodies!

Ribbon shares are now available!!
This is my favorite way to get a great sampling of ribbon at an affordable price. I try to teach my little girls to get along and share, so why not do a little of it myself?!? hee hee.
Take a peek at my new product shares page! Join in so we can all benefit together! This is open to demonstrators, customers, anybody interested. I’ll be joining in myself!
Tootles, and let me know if there are questions!

Since I’m still on my Convention high, I figured I’d share the love a little bit. Hee hee!
As you know (from this post), during July there is an amazing deal going on — a starter kit for just $99! Did I mention free shipping on that??
So let’s discuss FREEBIES. With this $99 kit, you get a Christmas keepsake project kit for FREE. ($40 value!) I saw this box in person, and believe me, it’s so much bigger and awesome than this picture portrays.
Guess what? If you do sign up during July, I get a free box too (aw cute) — so if you live near me, let’s get together and assemble them! Fun excuse for a craft night!!
So then, just to add to the fun, I’ll add 1 more FREEBIE. A fun perk of being attending Convention is shopping at the momento mall. I couldn’t resist the cute reusable bags! (I never can!)
The next 2 people to buy the $99 and join my team during July will get a bag and a cute pen. You can choose the design you’d like!!
(And you KNOW I love you. Know why? I hobbled downstairs with my crutches to get these to take a picture. You’re welcome. Hee hee.)
A quick note — I get this question all the time. “So … what’s the catch??” Wanna know a secret? One of my favorite things about joining Stampin’ Up … there is NO CATCH! Really. Pinky promise.
Questions? Let me know! Ready to get your kit and freebies? Customize your kit now! Feel like shopping around for other things? Click here.
Happy stamping!
Laura
p.s. note that the tote bag and pen are an offer from me, not Stampin’ Up.
Oh boy, just got finished with this convention last night and headed straight to a party with high school friends in town, so phew, I haven’t even downloaded pictures from my camera yet.
BUT, in the meantime, check out the quick highlights video. I love this company — what an amazing week!
(Hm, having trouble embedding the video right now for some reason. Maybe I’m still too sleepy, hee hee.)
CLICK HERE to watch the highlights.
If you’re on facebook, be sure to also pop in to Stampin’ Up’s page. The ‘roving reporters’ had too much fun posting a little bit of everything from the week. Cute.
(And of course “like” my fan page, stamp princess, while you’re at it! hee hee!)
Back later with more goodies and info!!
Laura
