Holiday Mini Catalog begins today!

The brand new HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG begins today and there's SO MUCH good stuff in it that it will take days to show you it all!  The mini catalogs were mailed and they were a little later than SU had hoped for with its publishing house, so you should be receiving it any day now if you're a regular customer of mine that places orders. 

If you don't have one yet, and would like to be added to my customer list to receive such mailings and other offers, please email me to let me know and I'd be happy to send you one (email at inkinallnight@cox.net with your name and full mailing address and email addy).

There are not only new stamp sets and accessories, papers and punches, ribbons and more.... but there are NEW PRODUCT LINES in this amazing mini catalog!  What am I talking about?  Can't wait?  Wanna see it now?  You may CLICK ON THE MINI CATALOG IN MY SIDEBAR to download it or view it online!

How about a new partnership with Build-A-Bear Workshop (BABW) ... complete with stamp sets, specially designed double-sided designer series paper, many Sizzix dies, embosslits ... oh my!  These little things are so stinkin cute! 

And I told myself (in my strongest "resistance" voice, oh my girls are 12 & 15 now, those BABW days are behind me, so I dont think I'll be ordering them...).  WELL, I was wrong, they are just too fun!

Just look at how cute and sweet these are!  The ideas are endless, remember paper dolls, well now it's paper bears!  And apply them to the magnet sheets and ta-dah you have instant fun in the car for road trips or quiet time in the house - a small metal board becomes a fun time playground!

Well maybe these inventive little SWEET TREAT CUPS are just enough to make any card giving occassion too fun to resist!  The perfect little present with just a taste of something yummy or pretty, depending on what you decide to put in the container! 

There is a stamp set especially designed to fit these container cups in the center of the stamped images and a punch the perfect size, so there's no hand cutting! 

Told you it was SWEET! 

We even offer the perfect sized padded envelopes to mail your creations in.

And as crafters we know that we love anything hand made, a gift worth giving.  Well look at these, a brand new line of SIMPLY ADORNED charms and chains.  You can create your own new unique jewelry pieces or add them to your home decor!

These are going to be absolutely gorgeous and truly a gift that will be treasured!  You can even make several inserts and change them out!

SU President and Co-Founder, Shelli Gardner made several of these and signed each original piece of artwork and several lucky door prize winners at convention received one!

Although these are in the mini catalog, they are not available yet to order, stay tuned for a release date for this product line.

Well, I hope you have made it to the end of this post and you are as excited as I am!!  And there's even more to tell you!!!  A new DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING Software coming too!  But it's not quite ready for customers yet, but it will be on October 1st!  Demonstrators get to pre-order a copy starting today so I'll let you know later in the month what I think (heck from what I've seen, I am in love) after I have some time to get my hands on it and play around a little bit!

Enjoy!!
Rhonda

Last Day for F/W catalog!

Hi

Today is the last day to order from the current Fall Winter catalog - remember those awesome Inventory Blowout specials too -- you can order online 24-7 by clicking on my website link and shop now! 

If you havent already reserved your copy of the NEW Spring Summer idea book & catalog, please drop me an email at inkinallnight@cox.net and I'll have a copy for you!  They are here, gorgeous and full of many many new fun stamp sets, accessories out the wazoo and tons of new DSP and lots of NEW SIZZIX dies to make even more amazing things with your Big Shot!  Decor Elements line of products has a new catalog too!  OMG there is so much!  And WAIT huge things coming later in the year, like an exclusive SU digital scrapbooking software program too!

I think I may just spend the day trying to trim down my wish list to see what makes it on the 1st order!  I can't decide, there's just SO much, I think Marlene (my leadership roomie and best buddy!) and I each had about 4 pages and no joke, a few thousand dollars worth of items!!  Lynda, I'm gonna be in BIG trouble!!

And for those of you that are wondering how my arm is doing.   if you remember that on Christmas Eve I found out that my current primary care doesnt take our insurance and apparently I didnt go to the doctor last year to already know this...  so try finding a new primary care between the holidays when office hours are short and docs are on vacation.  My arm is basically still the same, very sore, doesnt rotate at all.  So I came home from leadership to try and get in with a new primary care so I could get referred over to some physical therapy ... anyhow I got a couple referrals from friends and finally called when the office was open (I have a tendacy to call during lunch when no one is there or after hours) only to find out that yes they do take my insurance and yes they have a doctor that is accepting new patients but however the insurance company has informed the office that it will be mid-Feb before they can begin processing/billing...  WHAT?  are you kidding me?  So the SAGA of finding a doctor is still a pain in my you know what!

Anyhow... I know something will work out, hopefully sometime soon.  I just hate the thought of randomly picking a primary care from a generic list of providers.

As the new year rolls out, I have held my January team meeting and am spending some time trying to plan out my spring events & calendar of classes!  Stay tuned, there will be regular 101020 cards classes, stamp set classes that include a stamp set & projects, project classes and hopefully more too!  And did I mention the Big Shot Classes - I think there is so much this might have to become a series of classes to fit it all in!

Don't forget your sweet heart and Valentine's - the Love You Much Bundle is available now at 20% off!!!  See the flyer on my side bar for details!  All items will be available in the new catalog as separate items but through the end of the month you may purchase them together and enjoy the savings!!  Here is a fabulous swap that features the Big Shot and the LYM bundle!  This features the stamp set, the new Candy Lane DSP, the new Heart to Heart (3 hearts) punch and the Top Note Die and red riding hood taffeta ribbon and buttons!  This card is a CASE that was swapped at our meeting, gorgeous! 

Have a GREAT day and thanks for stopping by!  Go Cardinals!  In all of the years I've lived here in AZ (since 1986) this is the best they've ever done!  So hopefully they'll win again today!  It's so fun to have a team in the playoffs and to see and feel the spirit around town!

Happy Sunday!
Rhonda

NEW Love You Much Bundle!

Hi!

I hope that you are each doing well and putting the finishing touches on your gift wrappings, baking and final shopping lists for the big day!  We have finally finished all of the shopping and as of today, we finally decorated the tree too!  It has been rather busy with all of the girls' dance performances and rehearsals and parties... but that has finally come to a close!  No dance for 2 weeks! ;-)  whew!

I am continuing with deep tissue Massage Therapy for my shoulder, very slow and very sore.  I have decided that I need to go to the regular doctor as well as the massage therapist as the recovery is just not making enough progress.  I still cannot sleep at night.  About 2 hours a shot and then I'm awake again, and it's not very healthy and most certainly doesn't make for a happy mood either! 

I enjoyed a day of shopping with Rachel (my youngest, 12) today.  We went shopping for Dad and she wanted to get something for her sister (who is away from home right now, enjoying a few days in California with a friend).  It was just the 2 of us, and she was such a great companion.  She'd carry the bags and push the cart, even paid for our sodas!  She's getting so grown up!  We even baked cookies on Monday and cooked dinner together before we had a couple friends over for the BEARS vs Packers game!  Go Bears!  Yikes!!!  Now I just need to find some quiet time to get things wrapped up and under the tree! 

Well, sadly it's now the 23rd of Dec and I haven't posted in almost 2 weeks (sorry about that).  BUT the good news is that there is a SNEAK PEEK available for all of you from Stampin' Up!  It is a BUNDLE of product that is going to be in the next Spring/Summer catalog available on Jan 19th!  But starting today you may purchase the bundle through me, your demo'r and save 20% off what it will be individually in the catalog!

Item #115405, $41.48 (retail value $51.85)
Love you Much stamp set 25.95
Candy Lane designer series paper 9.95 =(close to cooca, riding hood red, pink priouette, very vanilla)
Heart to Heart Punch 15.95

Here is a sample that I made about a month ago when my LYMB originally arrived.  Do enjoy!  I will be holding a class that features this stamp set bundle!  So you purchase the bundle and basically get the class fee waived, and make 4-5 projects at class with your bundle items and then take everything home!  Watch for an annoucement for the date of the class, to be announced soon!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!  Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and everything else too!

Hugs!
Rhonda
