Stamping "The Rock" with Lynda

Package contents unveiled

Here's a part of what I've been working on in recent weeks when I can squeeze in the time..... some nursery elements to welcome an upcoming new little one!  This is what was in the package of a few days ago.  More pieces underway, too.

Cyber Monday - and November specials coming to an end

Happy Cyber Monday!  I hope you've all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend.  I have, as I've spent many hours working on a special sewing project.  It's progressing slowly, but I'm pleased with how it's turning out.  I'll be posting a picture of Part One of the overall project soon.

If you subscribe to my newsletter you've probably already received reminders this morning about all our many specials expiring today.  But I think I may have inadvertently suggested that the sale items available through the Online Extravaganza  offer are only available with an online order.  However, this was an oversight on my part: they are not only available online, but they may also be ordered directly through me.  And if you choose to do that, THEN that is the maximum way to pile up and maximize all the incentives running right now - including the hostess (or book party or "just treating myself") offers that extend in addition to your regular hostess benefits.  (But you'll still want to go online to my online store to VIEW the items and bundles being offered for up to 50% off - and make a note of their product codes and prices.)

But if you'd like to take maximum advantage of all the following specials by compounding them, however, please remember that I will need your order by 5:00 pm Pacific time.  (My online ordering service should still be able to accept orders until about 10:45 pm Pacific time, if that is more convenient and you don't wish to take advantage of the two hostess specials.)

So to review, here's what you can take advantage of this Cyber Monday - even if (or especially if) you have me submit your order for you.  Compound all these together in the same order for even MORE savings and free stuff!

• Online Extravaganza - up to 50% off lots and lots of select merchandise (see the items at my online store, but ok to order direct through me, too)
• For every $50 you select from the Holiday Gift-Giving Guide you get to choose 1 Decor Elements item up to a $16.95 value (excluding stencils or Hostess gift items)
• Turn in one or more orders (direct through me) totalling $250 or more and get one item from the Holiday Mini Catalog for only $10, if you want to (excludes Simply Adorned, My Digital Studio, and hostess gift items)
• Turn in one or more orders (direct through me) totalling $400 or more, and get your My Digital Studio software for half-price, if you want to
• Place a $75 order through me during November and get my expanded tutorial for 3 Books in a Slipcase for free.  (Note that today is the final day to get this expanded tutorial for free; look for it to be available for sale here shortly.  This version has more pictures and greater instructional detail than some demonstrators outside of my downline may have received this month elsewhere.)
• And of course there is always my ongoing GREAT REWARDS frequent-buyer card opportunity:  get a square signed off with every $50 you order...... and then when your card is full you may redeem it for free merchandise or a class!

Still time to sign up for this year's Holiday Helper newsletter series

My 2009 Holiday Helper newsletter series is already under way, but there's still plenty of time to subscribe if you haven't already.  And the sooner you do, the fewer issues you'll miss!  As a subscriber, look for a new holiday project tutorial in your inbox every day, through Dec. 7th.... a Customer Appreciation gift from me!

Reread all the details here, and then sign up for your subscription by entering your email address in the box near the top of the left-hand column of my blog.  (If you're reading this message by email subscription you'll have to come to my blog to view that sign-up box.)

 

Did you know....... that my blog is interactive?

That means that YOU can write on it, too - by leaving a "comment".  At the end of most every article you'll find a tiny little "comment" link.  If you click on that link you'll be able to type in a comment for me - and for whomever else comes along afterwards because those comments become part of the article, so to speak - as they can be read by anyone.  (So, um, keep 'em clean, of course!  LOL)

So why might you want to leave a comment?  Well, perhaps something in the article might strike your fancy and you'd like to share your thoughts about it, or another perfect reason to leave a comment would be like at this post - where you can actually leave your guess as to what's in the package!

So go ahead and try it! It would be fun to know someone's out there!  (And I sometimes comment back in regards to your comments, too.)

Do you subscribe to these updates yet?

Do you often forget to come see if I've posted any updates here?  And then by the time you think to look, it's too late to take advantage of the special, or class, or "whatever it is" that I've written about?

Well, the solution is to subscribe to my updates.  It's free, and it's easy.  To get signed up, either select the RSS feed option over in the left-hand column (you may have to scroll down a little bit to see it), OR enter your email address here:

  And THEN - once you've completed all the steps to the sign-up process (including any confirmations you may be asked for), anytime I post a new article here, you'll get the RSS feed (if that's what you've chosen), or an email delivered automatically to your inbox with the contents of my article - within roughly 24 hours! 

So there's no more reason to feel left in the dark or miss out on a special or earlybird registration for a class just because you don't remember to check in here regularly!  Subscribe to my updates and they'll come straight to YOU instead!  Easy-Peasy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This was a recent Stamp-a-Stack card. Note the green swirl background behind the square; that's done by brayering Old Olive Classic Ink onto the Texturz Plate (Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I) before sending the piece of Very Vanilla cardstock through the Big Shot.  The tendrils on the pumpkin are strips of cardstock sliced very thinly (which the Tabletop Cutter is a master at) and then wrapped around the stylus, while the pumpkin itself is made with the Wide Oval Punch.

If you'd like to make cards like this, too, our next Stamp-a-Stack will be Friday & Saturday, Dec. 4th & 5th.  Sign up here!

And on this day let's be sure to remember the many blessings we have to be thankful for.  I have lots.

 

Can you guess what's inside?

What do you suppose is inside?  It's headed to the post office soon.....

Online Extravaganza Begins!

Beginning today (Monday, Nov. 23), get 30%, 40% and 50% off popular items and brand-new PRODUCT BUNDLES at my online store!  What an easy way to choose a gift for a friend - or even yourself!

But I urge you to hurry!  Although the Online Extravaganza continues through November 30th, you'll want to order your goodies right away to be at the head of the queue and get them delivered as quickly as possible. 

Please note that while the very best way to take advantage of this special is to order at my online store, I will still be able to accept your orders, too.  However, due to my schedule this week (I'm taking some time off this week), I will arrange for all orders to direct-ship to you.  So please remember that means the minimum s/h will be $6.95. 

But come to think of it, what an awesome opportunity to gather up orders from a few friends, and call it a book party & get the hostess benefits that result!  Especially since we have TWO additional hostess promotions that run through the end of the month, and an additional customer special, too!  Check them all out here if you don't remember what they are!

New look to my blog

So what do you think of the new look to my blog?  I designed the banner and signature myself with the newest digital downloads for My Digital Studio™!  It was LOADS of fun!

So please leave me a comment (the link is at the end of this post) and let me know what you think!  (And also to confirm whether anyone is actually reading this, lol.)

New Digital Downloads Available

There's a new batch of digital downloads available today in my online store.  Some nice holiday images, including some quickie card ideas.
