Sunday Stuff

Hi, bloggy friends! I haven't posted lately because really...there hasn't been much to post about! I haven't been sleeping all that great (again!), and so I've been pretty much just been dragging butt throughout the days. Not much fun! The weather has cooled off some, but it's been rainy...so no traveling either. Because I haven't felt that great, I haven't been stamping at all. And I have all that super cool new stuff too!!! At least I did get decent sleep last night, and as soon as I post this, I'll be heading upstairs to work on my longgggg list of projects!

When I woke up this morning I had an email that said:
Ohmygosh! I won $100.00!!!! You have to check out their website HERE if you love papercrafting - all kinds of fun stuff! Including these lovelies:

This is a brand new Nestabilities die set: Floral Flourishes

Another new Nestabilitie die set: Poinsettia Creations

Nested Crowns die set

I've been wanting some metal charms for my cards and found some great ones on this site! Including these travel ones - perfect for PARIS cards, lol!

Pretty brass (and silver below) key charms.

Pirate charms! Arrrgh!!!!

This product allows you to get the "crackle glass" effect with less fuss!

So I "googled it" and saw that VistaPrint did these as well!! I'm soooo goin' to be stylin' in PARIS!!!! And I can hardly wait!!!!!
