Also, we'd also like to keep you updated on a few products that could potentially go into backorder status in the beginning of July, based on trends during the preorder and our inventory levels. The supplier has discovered that it is taking longer than expected to produce these items, but we are receiving regular shipments and should be able to fill any backorder that arises fairly quickly. These items are available for order July 1.

My New Blog

I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I love stamping! In my spare time, I love to visit blogs and check out all the creative ideas that are floating around. I've always wondered how in the world do you start blogging? So... I thought I would give blogging a try and decided to take a Blogging Boot Camp. Thanks for visiting my new blog and please check back for samples of cards and projects. Hopefully, I will be posting some cards and projects very soon. I have to do some catching up on homework and figure Typepad out first - then I'll be up and running!
