Inchie, Inchie, Inchie!!!!


Hi, we're baaaack!

It has been a long time since our last post. We thought after the Stamp Escape we would have time to blog.....guess again! Orders have been placed, and now they are coming in fast and furious. Mom said it gives the UPS man job security! The Stamp Escape students ordered lots of stamps from Lockhart Stamp Company, Dreamweaver, Artlenz, and Michael Strong. So far, we have everything but Michael Strong's stamps. Mom has everything in little bags with names on them...it took her all day last Friday. She said we were not much help. Now she is waiting for this Inchie stuff. That's all we have heard.....Inchie, Inchie, Inchie! So, here's the deal. You take these little images and stamp them on these 1" square pieces of special mat board. Then you use them as a focal point on a card, make embellishments out of them, make jewelry, or best of all, swap them. This whole thing is taking on a life of its' own. You need an index book (we'll have them) to log what you have made and received in swaps, a binder (we'll have them) with pockets in the pages to store them, frames (you can make them) to display them....and so on. Mom said we should have a club! Now we need a club name....I vote for Inchie Paws! Check out the picture of a frame with metal inserted as a way to display Inchies with magnets on the back. Watch the class schedule for classes making Inchies. If you can think of a name better than Inchie Paws (I doubt it), email us or post it on the blog. Mom said she will be letting everyone know when the special orders are all complete and ready to pick up...should be in a day or two. Stop by to check out the Inchies in person.

Almost Stamp Escape!


Hi everyone......we wanted to check in with you before Mom goes to The Pines for The Great Yosemite Stamp Escape. We have been so busy here....Peachy said he has bee the biggest help! Usually we like to lay on the tables and rest, but just take a look at this photo and you will see what our problem is. We will be so glad to see all of this stuff go.....and we will actually get TWO days off this week. The store will be closed Saturday and Sunday while our friends have a great time at the lake. We'll let you know more of what is going on once we finish our work on the Stamp Escape.


See you soon....

Hugs and Purrs,
