Today and tomorrow are the final two days of Stampin' Up!'s 12 Days of Holidays Sale. This is your opportunity to get 15-25% discounts on select Big Shot Dies and materials. There are no quantity limits or qualifiers to make a purchase. It doesn't get much better than that. I've taken advantage of the Chalkboard Décor Elements Sheets, 2 15" x 24" vinyl sheets that can be cut or Die Cut to any size. I plan to use them for a project for next year and I want to work on it sometime during the next few weeks. Planning ahead. :) These vinyl sheets come in a huge variety of colors and work wonderfully in the Big Shot Die Cut machine using the Big Shot Dies of course. Check them out by clicking on the 12 Days of Holiday Sales (title above says 12 Days of Christmas) button on the right.
I'm sure these are very busy days for you. Me too. We've already had enjoyed part one of our Christmas celebrations this past Saturday, with my son and daughter and their families. You want to see a treasure? It's not stamped but it is hand made with love:
My 5-1/2 year old grandson, Austin, has been trying to tell me about, and then getting me to open, this gift since Thanksgiving. I was truly amazed when I did finally open it---the first gift opened this year.
There's a beautiful happy face on this side. Almost as beautiful as Austin's happy face!
Not to be left out, nearly 3 year old Nora, shows the camera the dimensional butterfly Austin placed in the bottom of the cup. For me there's a joke there: when I pour a full cup of coffee into the cup, if I can see the butterfly at the bottom of the cup, the coffee's not worth drinking---too weak. No butterfly = a great cup of coffee. This morning's coffee was great! Years ago, like 25, when I was having coffee with my Bavarian girlfriend Sigrid, in Germany, she told me that if you can see the flower at the bottom of a tea/coffee cup the coffee is called "blumchen kaffe" -- too thin and weak to bother with. I always think of that roadside stop for coffee, in the Alps, when I even see a flower or image at the bottom of a cup. Thanks Sigrid! And huge hugging thanks to Austin for my fabulous coffee cup and saucer.
