By the time this email arrives in your mailbox we will have already started our journey heading to Raleigh, NC. Our suitcases are packed for every possible weather contingency except for snow. I refuse to pack for wintery weather! All the last minute things I need to add right before we leave are jotted down on a list – cause I’m a list person. Some minimal stamping supplies are also going since we have make and take sessions as well as the Friday night After Hours stamping event with hundreds attending. I for one did not make any card swaps to share because I simply ran out of time, but there will be hundreds of people sharing their creative talents with others and we are always welcome to take pictures of favorites.
Rolling Out The April Paper Pumpkin With NEW Add – Ons!

Today marks the beginning of reservations for the April Paper Pumpkin kit, and can we simply “ooh and awww” over the beautiful image on the box???? The Inked Occasions kit must have some beautiful cards included to match the colors of the box for sure.

Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Peach Pie, Pool Party
And The Hugs Abloom Dies Are Available Now As Well!

These add-on dies are an easy and quick addition to your die collection. Anytime you can add a label do so! And I love the “hugs” die – perfect addition to children’ and grandchildren’s cards, as well as dear friends. The add-ons are very reasonably priced (usually around $12 for the 4 pieces) but they can only be purchased by those who have a subscription. I can order these dies, so reach out if you are wanting them.

Final Thoughts…..
So our first travel day is ending in Louisville, Kentucky and Pool Boy already has our dinner establishment selected – Mama’s Mustard, Pickles, and BBQ. Now, I love all three, but I’m really hoping they are not all together! It’s suppose to be similar to KC BBQ which we love, so be sure to check back Wednesday to see if he selected well.
You might keep positive thoughts going for the canine diva Shelby as well. This trip she is vacationing in St. Louis again with Megan’s family. Megan says it take Shelby about 5 days to get over the spoiled princess mode, then she reverts back to “factory settings” of being a dog. Poor girl will spend her first few days sitting on the sofa watching out the window for us to return!
Until next time, keep stamping, keep crafting, and God Bless!!!
