Just a quick post to let you know I am back from my holidays we have been visiting family across the UK and had a great time.

Today is the start of a very exciting week, Connor picks up his GCSE results in about an hour, so fingers crossed for those!  Then I have a lovely day planned, the Amanda’s Craft Away Day on Saturday and then it’s retirement list day………

The 1st September 2011 is the release date for the retirement list and we will get to know what is staying and leaving our UK Stampin’ Up! catalogue. I use stamps daily and I shall be very sad to see some of them leave, as always it will be whilst stocks last so do get your orders in to me as soon as possible.

To make sure you get to see the list quickly make sure you are signed into my email mailing list there is a button on the right hand side.

I do have some pretty cards for you to see today made by the lovely Pearl.

Pearl is one of my Mum’s friends and whilst we where on our travels I ran a Stampin’ Up! workshop at Mum’s house.  We had a wonderful morning, lots of fun and laughter and scrummy cake too!  The card top right is the one Pearl made at the workshop using Vintage Vogue the 3 additional cards she made with lots of other lovely products when she got home.  Thanks for sharing Pearl.

Happy Stampin’
