I am so excited!

TAC has just released their new catalog and I am so excited...not to mention anxious to get it!

I've seen lots of sneak peeks on Paper Wings from the gals who either already got it in the mail or recieved it at Seminar and from what I've seen, it looks like a pretty great catty! I was very happy that they didn't make another blue cover...I thought the last two looked too much alike ;)

Great Cover!!

GWP stamps...you get one totally FREE with each $30 ordered..I love FREE don't

you?

Level A & B Hostess sets...sooo easy to earn a Level A set...you qualify for one of these for FREE when your funshop or regular order is $100 AND you can get one half price item too :)

I really, really want that coffee set!!!!!! I wish it had been a new catalog set instead of a hostess set *sigh*

Score!!!

While visiting my husband today and stopping in for a quick chat with his boss, I noticed a bag of stuff sitting on the boss' floor.

"Is the stuff in that bag empty?" I say ...to which he replies "yes, they are"...hmmmm.... "are you throwing them away?"... Yes, he was.... as a matter of fact, he then went on to complain about what a pain in the butt it was to find our recycling center open to drop them off lol

They're now mine. Lots of tins that I can plaster paper, and ribbon and stuff all over hehe

SCORE!!!

Teacher card

Well, I think I found my "mojo" again!

I had planned on making some little note books, beaded pens, or a pack of generic thank you cards for the kids teachers.... but I settled on a nice little thank you card with a handwritten note inside instead.

Paper, hardware and ribbons "Miss Moxie" Collection and White Ultrasmooth from TAC

Ink: (TAC) Palette Orangerie, L'Amore and Burnt Umber

Stamps: Image "friendly note" (TAC); sentiment CTMH

Accessories: Crop-o-dile and "sticky strip"

I am a "stamp-a-holic"...and this is my story.

I'm a stamper at heart.

My story starts out like a lot of others do. I said I'd never stamp..I had bought some scrapbooking things and never really used them, so I didn't want to have the same thing happen with stamping things.

Well, in '04 came a military move that took me to a place where it would all begin. I made a great friend named Heather, she happened to be a CM consultant & she got me scrapping again.... for a while. Around March of '05 I think it was, she dragged me to an SU party hosted by a friend of hers...and then IT started. My love of stamping.

I don't know what is was about something as simple as putting ink, stamps and paper together to make a card....but for some reason, it made me feel happy. I soon signed up to be a demonstrator because I wanted more stuff and was in desperate need of a discount.

So then, sooner than we expected ('07), another move would come up, one that would bring me to Germany. As you can imagine, in that short 2 years, I had accumulated quite a bit of stuff, including furniture to store it all in. Weight and storage became an issue and I had remembered reading about unmounted stamps on SCS. It was there too, that I learned about The Angel Company. After trying their stamps I was hooked. I totally knew then and there that they were the company for me! Lower minimums, larger discount, better customer specials, AWESOME demonstrators...I was hooked!! But, I will admit....I did something crazy....I left them.

I'd gotten bored with our catalog and didn't really like the new one coming out and for a tiny while I was seeing SU in a whole new light. "Wow!", I thought "why did I leave? this is great!" so for a few short months, I left TAC (gasp) and went back. (Big mistake.) I missed the friendships I had formed on Paper Wings, the FREE Gift With Purchase stamps and the family feel of the company, among other things. So....you guessed it......I went back to TAC....for GOOD!!

So here I am. I'm a TAC Angel again :) Right now, I'm not holding Funshops & I am happy being a "hobby demo". If you want a catalog just holler and I will get one to you...but you won't see me out trying to sell or doing any recruiting.....it's just not where I want to be right now, and luckily, TAC is ok with that and as they say "Our wings come in all sizes" That's why I love them!

I'm in the middle of re-organizing and don't have anything new to show today, but don't worry I've got ideas in my head that will soon appear in paper and ink here. So, for now, I will leave you with this. I made it last year, yes, but it's one of those cards that makes me smile when I see it, because for me, this is what stamping is....following my bliss~ Enjoy!!

Thanks for letting me share MY love of stamping with you~ be true to yourself and follow your bliss!!
