School's in and I'm back!

Hello, patient Visitors!  After a three-week roadtrip to Yellowstone, Colorado and Wyoming and a camping trip to the Pacific Coast, the dust is settling and I'm back in the Studio.  One of the things I'm doing today (my birthday, by the by) is making a list of items to order.  There are a slew of new delicious things to consider!

Here's just a smidge of what's been going on at Stampin' Up! lately:

A new photopolymer set!  Another Thank You (#133454), $13.95

I make more Thank You notes than any other type of card, so I'm thrilled at this new addition  I love the fonts and the little heart and gem images, too.

Hooray for Thinlits!  Flip cards (which I've made painstakingly by hand) are now a snap with the Big Shot...

There are more lovely things to share, so stay tuned!  Hope your summer was restful and fun and that you're ready to attack the fall with fresh vigor!

More News from Stampin' Up! and the {NEW} 2013-2014 Annual Catalog

Holy moly, what a day!  Yesterday started for me in my daughter's kindergarten classroom as I taught our final art docent lesson of the year:  a self-portrait inspired by Frida.  Whew!

Next, Stampin' Up! launched its new 2013-2014 Annual Catalog and it happened an hour EARLY!  Woo hoo!  Demonstrators and customers everywhere were flooding the phone lines and getting busy online placing their first orders.  Yesterday provided a rare opportunity; the Spring Catalog, retiring 2012-2013 Annual Catalog and the *NEW* 2013-2014 Annual Catalog were all available from which to order!

Here's what you need to know today:

• While the 2013 Spring Catalog is retired now, we can still order from both annual catalogs through Monday.  Retiring stamp sets {list here} are guaranteed through Monday; retiring accessories  {list here} are only available as long as supplies last.

• Are you a fan of the photopolymer stamp sets?  If so, I've got good news for you.  Stampin' Up! will be releasing a fun new set each month!  Another woo hoo!  Here's this month's set, Wanderlust:
