New Stuff!!!!

Happy New Year....

Mom just unpacked boxes of goodies and we heard all of the oohs and ahhs again. I'm putting in some photos of the new Mira collection from K & Company. The colors are bright and cheerful and fun. We also got some really cute glittered brads and lots of other cool stuff. If you are waiting for Tombow tape runner refills, Mom got a whole carton full! We are getting ready to celebrate the New Year...hope you have a safe, happy 2008

PS. Check out these samples of the Mira Collection!

No slide show!

Couldn't wrap my paws around the technology!!!!!

Here are a couple more photos! Are you jealous?

Merry Christmas!

A few days ago, Mom thought it wasn't so merry when she had the flu....the kind that keeps you in the litter box! She thought she had food poisoning until, in the spirit of Christmas, she shared it with the big guy at home...... He's not to happy about this sharing stuff...he'd rather get other kinds of presents. Because Mom was sick, Sunday, she missed going to Auntie Robin's Craft Room Warming! Auntie R sent some photos of the room which opened to rave reviews! The room is 12'x20', with no wasted space as you can see. I am going to try this new thing where you can see a slide show, so let's see if it works! If not, I'll post the photos in another post.

Stay warm, be good, have a great holiday, we hope Santa can fit down your chimney!

Hero Arts is Here!!!!!

Hi again......The UPS boyfriend brought a big box from Hero Arts today and Mom and Auntie M got really excited. They even gave him a chocolate kiss even though he was in a grumpy Christmas mood. They said you have all been waiting for the new catalog and stamps to arrive. They really drooled over the catalog......it's a good one! The stamps that came in are all new wood mounted images, but they also have LOTS of new clear stamps that Mom loved. You will want to come in right away and see the new stamps and get on the list for a catalog of your own and tell Mom what you want her to order. Since the CHA show is later this year, she isn't going to wait until the show to place her order...better hurry!

Mom liked what they wrote in the front of the catalog...kind of sums up why people stamp, I guess..."There is nothing like a good stamp. It inspires us to create, to celebrate, to share with handmade and heartfelt expressions. In turn, we inspire those who are important to us."

She also liked what Fred Mullett wrote on his website...."The meek will never ride the porcupine"! Whatever that means. You know that Fred...he's a wild and crazy guy!

See you soon...Mittens and Peachy

Crafts 'n things

Here I am, back so soon with more news. Yesterday, Mom got the first shipment of the Crafts 'n things magazine. It's the one that bought Rubber Stamper magazine. There are 59 pages of stamping projects out of 164 total pages in this issue. Mom said she will leave it up to you whether she continues to sell this publication. Stop in and check it out........and bring a paper ornament for our sad tree!

See you soon......Mittens (and Peachy, too)

Poor, Pitiful Tree!

Merry Christmas everyone!

We know you are all really busy getting things done for Christmas, but we certainly thought some of you would take pity on this sad looking tree Mom and Auntie M. put up. Remember, Mom asked everyone to make paper ornaments to decorate the tree....well, as you can see, not many of you have come through! Take pity on US! Peachy and I have to look at this sad, silver, sparkly specimen every day! You still have time to get busy on a paper ornament.....even our friend Josie Cervantes sent an ornament with her photo on it!

You might also notice that the tree now has lots of stuff piled under it. Mom tried to think of things you might want for Christmas gifts, so she put them all there. She said to tell you it's OK to ask your family for gift certficates, too.....she has plenty of those.

Stay warm, drive carefully, watch out for our furry friends on the road, and have a Merry Christmas!
