Retiring Items and While Supplies Last As we all wait for the new book in September to come live, we have lots of items to choose from at great prices! You don't want to miss any of your favorite items in the "Retiring Items" list or the "While Supplies" last list. Here is the difference between the two, the latter has items, that have been retired and will not be replenished. Most of the items have been reduced in price, some of them quite deeply. When the items are gone - they are gone! It also pays to keep checking this list, since the company keeps adding on a regular basis to this list. The Retiring List has items that can be there until August 30, however - it is also while supplies last on some items. We can get more supplies on some items. As we just reprinted some of our papers, but we cannot guarantee that all the items will be there through the end of the book. As you can see some of the supplies have already sold out. So, if you have some favorites - get them now! Since we are talking retiring - here are the colors that will be retiring: This is it for this month - please make sure you keep checking my blog and my facebook for updates! If you are not on facebook, let me know I would love to stay in touch with you with other means. We are about to launch the new idea book and we have always newsflashes I would love to bring your way - I would hate for you to miss something. I would like to serve you - please let me know how I can do that the best way. Oh - one more thing! At convention, we were informed how much we have supported Operation Smile in the passed 10 years! Can believe, it has been that long? We now have upped how much of the Operation Smile stamp set will go to that charity and we offer a T-Shirt with the proceeds going to that charity. If you would like to help share a smile - you may want to purchase a T-shirt! Thank you! Have a great day and I will talk to you soon. Happily stamping,   Margit McCabe Close to my Heart We show you how to celebrate relationships through discovering your creativity, to preserve and share the moments that matter most.

Newsflash: Colors Retiring in 2015 and more!

Convention was a blast! I will post some pictures soon - in fact if you follow me on facebook, you will have seen some of my pictures already :)

I did want to let you know that we will have a "blast" of new colors this year to stay on trend with new colors. The new colors will be in the Enchantment family of colors:

Smokey Plum
Outdoor Denim
Indian Corn Blue
Ponderosa Pine
Olive
Autumn Terracotta
Barn Red

The card stock, ink, reinkers in these colors will all retire - but never fear we will introduce some wonderful new colors to take their place.

I can not even tell you all the wonderful things we will have in store for you come September 1 - really, I can't tell you yet.

However - come August 1 - you can order one of the items we will introduce early - drumroll, please:

you will have wait and see, won't you :)...

until then - don't miss all the wonderful specials we have going on right now, like:
