One more day!

One more day to wait for the announcement of the Design Team! We've had so many great applicants it's really going to be a hard decision! I'll post it when we've made up our minds.............. oh the torture of trying to decide!

I was tagged by Suzy of Paper Monkey to:

1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself (on your blog, we all want to know them).
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here are my 7 Very Random facts!

1. I love coke. I drink way to much of it. I have coke like most people have coffee.....
2. Which leads to this strange fact. I've never had a cup of coffee in my life. I had a sip once.
3. I made hot tea for Chuck Berry (remember him?)
4. I have a Z Becky Brown purse. (anyone want it?)
5. Steven King is my favorite writer
6. I bought my first rubber stamp in 1994 I bought a moon stamp and a Christmas tree stamp from a stamp store in the mall. I also bought some embossing powder that I still have and use.
7. I collect Beatles stuff. I have all the albums and cd's. I have the paste over album. It's in really good shape too.

I'll tag tomorrow!

More New Stuff!

Wow! Finally the Giga punches will be back in stock next week and the rectangle scalloped punches will be here too. We've been seeing those cool DVD tins, so we had to order some of those too. Check the store the first part of next week to see if they're here yet. If you want to reserve a punch or any item for that matter, just click here to email us!

More Bind It All!

Just a quick note to let you know that more Bind It All machines and wire are on the way! If you want to reserve one you can email me and I'll save one for you. I was only able to get a hold of 5 machines, so you better hurry!

The Bind It All Stuff.........

didn't last long.....:( I have ordered more, but no telling when it will get here. In the meantime though, I have some cool new Maya Road Binder Books and all kinds of goodies! I really like the treasure box and books, and always, the really cool lunchbox tins with the chipboard in them!
Maya Road
I have some hinged cd tins and mint tins coming Monday, so that will be fun! I like to make small cards and envelopes to put in the tins and give as gifts to my favorite people!

Bind It All!

Bind It All! Just received the order for the bind it all last night. I haven't even had time to list it on the website yet, but I will as soon as I can. I can't wait to try it out! I got most of everything that goes with it except the stuff that's on backorder. In the meantime, I got more of the Clever Lever Mega and Giga Punches if you're looking for some!

Whooo Hooo

Okay, so they made a mistake in the order, but we did get the Mega Circle Scalloped Punch! The other punches will be here next week, probably Wednesday. This is the first time I had seen these much talked about and sought after punches. Even my distributor can't keep them in stock. I have a few for now, they're selling fast, so if you want one, you better go get it now!

Ribbon Irons and Tsukineko Glue Pads

Yipee!! The Ribbon Irons finally arrived! It is such a cool tool I can't believe it! I haven't used it yet for real, I just tried it out. It's kind of like a flat hair iron only it's fits in your hand.
My very first order of Tsukineko Essential Glue Pad with Re-inkier came today too. I can't wait to try this out with some diamond dust!

New Stuff from Imaginisce, Maya Road and Provo Craft!

The new Paisley Cuttlebug dies arrived! They are so perfect! Bling Blossoms from Imaginisce came last Friday, they are beautiful flowers. The brads are BIG! Some of them are the size of a quarter!
I also placed my first order with Maya Road and it should be shipping in the next 2 weeks.

New Cuttlebug Folders

Just a note to let you know that I've ordered all the new Cuttlebug Folders and the Paisley Die! I can't wait to get that die in cause ya know, everyone loves paisley! Isn't it the best? I'll let you know when they ship these. Supposed to be the middle of May, but everyone is ordering them and it's so hard to get a full order. I sure hope they don't go on backorder right away.

More Cuttlebug Embossing Folders Are On The Way

Some of my backorder for the Cuttlebug Folders is finally in processing so they should be here next week. Many are still on backorder and will ship the first week of May. Many other new items will also be coming so be sure to check out my store for those items next week. I'm also expecting more of the 6x6 paper pads from BasicGrey next week. I will be getting Phoebe, Scarletts Letter, Stella Ruby, LilyKate and Romani. The Precision File Sets are almost gone and BasicGrey has them on backorder again.

New BasicGrey Precision File Set

We finally received our order of Precision File Sets from BasicGrey! These tools are awesome!
The files are small enough to get in the tightest places and I love it that they come in rounds and squares! These are going fast. I ordered 30 and in 2 days I'm down to 17. These are a must have when attaching paper to small chipboard letters. Even the Chiz-let won't get into the tiny corners like these files will!

Precision File Set

Those Cuttlebug Folders Went Fast

Those cuttlebug folders are almost gone! I have a ton of them on backorder but I have no idea when they will ship. I also am trying to get the new paisley die along with the folders but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I did order a Kewl New Tool! It's from Pebbles Inc. and it's a Ribbon Iron!


no more wrinkled ribbons!! It is small, portable and easy to use. Just heat the ribbon iron, place it in your palm of your hand and pull the ribbon through. It also works great for setting creases in pape!!!
-110 V-60 hz / CE approved / UL approved plug and cord / Indicator light turns on when in use / Lock-Unlock switch allows unit to be closed for storing Package size is 5 ½" x 9"

This product hasn't shipped yet, but I'm excited about it!
