One of my favorite stamp sets and so happy it didn’t retire.  I think that SU should make this stamp set a “Keep Forever” and never retire set.  What is encouraging is now they offer it in clear as well as wood.   Since I purchased my set used from a Demo that was going out of business (one small stamp is missing) I am going to go for a new clear set.

I am soooo excited that tomorrow will be the first day that we can order from the new catalog some of the gorgeous stamp sets and papers that our company designed for you and me.

Remember also, that today at midnight, you can no longer order from the old catalog, even though the date on the old catalog states that it is good through the endo of June.  SU has changed the beginning date of the new Idea Book & Catalog along with the time frame on the mini catalogs.

The minis will start in August and last for 6 months and will contain more seasonal items and embellishments.  I love the fact that we will have a longer time with the minis which are always filled with lots of special goodies.
