Now time for cha…

Sweet Cakes

This week I’m looking at the new Doodlebug “Sweet Cakes” collection over at Scrapbook Update. I have 2 new projects in the article too.

Here’s one more tag… I can’t help but adore this collection.

Happy Crafting!

garage/blog sale time…

First: Kathryn Kadletz EMAIL ME (mflaum @ comcast . net) - you’ve won the 8×8 paper pad from my last give-away. Congrats!!


UPDATED:  Sold OUT!

If you are interested, not everyone has been paid for yet, so one or two may become available. email me and I will let you know if I’m able to include you.
I hope everyone who gets one ENJOYS!!

note: if you paid already, then you’ve heard from me + should have shipping confirmation (unless international). If you haven’t contact me ASAP!

 

Here’s the deal:

  • I pack former class supplies, extras, embellishment kits, baggies ‘o fun goodies, and more into flat-rate medium priority shipping boxes.

 

  • Each one is different, each one is packed and a great value. New ink pad, mini book, stamps, letter stickers, rub-ons… basically I pack each box with love + care, packaging up all kinds of things that need a home.

 

  • $38 includes the shipping, and is cost within USA. If you are not in USA but want a box, email me (and tell me where you are) and I will invoice you accordingly. In past the USPS rate is $30-35 more for international shipping. I’m happy to do it – just let me know.

The contents are a surprise, I do this to save time (don’t have to photograph) which means I pass on the great deal to you. I do promise it’s good things, and not packed with small scraps or things I don’t want. It’s simply class left-overs, discontinued items, and lovely scrapbook supplies that need a good home.

Here’s the beginning of one box I started to pack this morning…

That was just two class kits I grabbed to START this particular box… oh yes, lots of fun to be had. If you want one shoot me an email

mflaum@comcast.net

Let me know who to paypal invoice (the email addy) and I will fire it off ASAP. I will also be shipping today and tomorrow – so by this weekend you could have some new to you goodies to play with.

today on my desk…

My desk, pre-clear off…

I can not give you even a hint as to my projects, but that’s what I was playing with. Yes, I’m shipping off several projects to Tim Holtz for CHA. If you’re at the show- maybe you’ll see them! If not, you’ll see them here on my blog, and perhaps in future classes as inspiration. Such amazing releases from Tim (as always!) including, did you see this?

Can you even believe it? I’m in total shock – I had NO IDEA! I’d never even dreamed such a thing was possible. I’m very excited, and you can bet I will be getting my hands on these (and sharing videos + projects of course) ASAP!!!

Other stand-outs this week in CHA reveals are Pink Paislee, Studio Calico, American Crafts, Webster’s Pages, Pebbles, and Christy Tomlinson’s stamps for Unity. I know I’m forgetting somebody… but I’m not worried. I’ll be AT CHA this year, and I’ll be doing plenty of coverage (and, I’m thinking a video) for those who aren’t there. The product is amazing, but got to say I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing so many of my favorite people in person.

and one night sneaking off to Disneyland for a few hours…

Speaking of 2012 classes (schedule in the works + kits made available too…) – I realize that I never had my end of year 2011 “garage sale” here on my blog and I NEED TO!!! I have several boxes of goodies – all AWESOME things. Past class kits, extras, stickers, rub-ons, stamps… really great stuff. STUFFED into flat rate boxes for shipping… immediately!

I will do a post here on my blog tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 6a Pacific Time with the details on getting one – they never last long and they’re always packed with great stuff too. I’ve had several people ask me about them, and yes, it’s that time!! So stay tuned if you want one!
