A wave goodbye!!

I am blogging early this morning, Heather had to be at School for 5.45am, as she is off on her school trip to France. I didn't cry, as we waved her off, but by the time we got home 'big farmer John' was close to tears as he clutched her fleece out of the car! my response was she will be back at the end of the week and she will be fine, us mum's always put on a brave face!

On Friday night, I hosted an event, to celebrate the retiring products from the 2010-2011 'Stampin' Up!' catalogue, and give my regular attendees, the chance to browse the last chance list, and make sure they had the opportunity, to get it while we had it left!

As I type this, I have found out that the following items are now out of stock and therefore no longer available:

Pewter Jumbo Eyelets
Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelets
Riding Hood Red 12x12 Card
Sense of time stamp set

some stamp sets and products, on the list have become much loved stash of my own, and many friends were asking, were I upset at 'Stampin'Up!' choosing to discontinue them, my answer to this was- 'Well as we say goodbye to some of the things we love, we make way for the excitement of fresh products & inspiration, that October will bring.'

so as we wave goodbye to the old, the new is just around the corner! Make sure you don't miss out on the items you want, but are retiring- they won't be available after September! Contact me to place an order: sally-johoughton@hotmail.co.uk

I'll leave you with some pictures of my display on Friday night, I will admit that not all the projects & cards were made by me, but I will show you those close up some time this week as they are so beautiful and the lady who created them deserves, full credits & decent pictures too!
