Out with the old in with the New

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I sure enjoyed having all of my family here. Now time to start putting all the Christmas decorations away and start getting ready for the year 2012. Since some of you probably have already started planning I have a Valentine Card Bundle if you are interested.

Valentine Bundle:

Time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. The little bundle is sure to be a GREAT gift set for that someone special, or your self.

Gift set includes: 4 3x3 note cards, 9 tags to be used for adding that extra little touch to your package, or gift tag for your Valentine, friends or little ones.

4-4 1/4x5 1/2 cards, blank inside to add your own message.

Brown, red, and pink paper is used. Hand stamped, hearts and love birds. Embellished with ribbon glitter, silver string and brads hold everything together.

All of this fits nice and cozy into a fold out stationery kit.

This item is sold as a set. But, we welcome any custom orders. Cards can be purchased separately. Price $ 18.99 plus s/h Please e-mail me if you are interested. beyondscrapin@gmail.com

Have a great day.

Happy Stampin,

Nicolette

Things Im Thankful For Blog Hop Nov. 18-19

Good Morning Ladies,

Welcome to the Things I'm Thankful For Blog Hop. This blog hop runs from November 18th through November 19th. For a lot of people, Thanksgiving has become a day to watch football, eat turkey, and watch the Macy's Day Parade. While these are not bad things, some belive the most important part of Thanksgiving is giving thanks to God for our many blessings. God was very much a part of that first Thanksgiving. Although some would say it was just a day of celebration. Historical records show it was a time to give thanks to God. The pilgrims looked at everything as a gift from God, even the sorrowful things they saw as God allowing them to perfect their character. So with that being said we have created this "Things I'm Thankful" blog hop to show you some things we are thankful for and some wonderful things we think of when we think of Thanksgiving. We've had so much fun creating this hop, and we have a wonderful line up with some oh-so-talented creators. You will see some lovely projects having to do with Thanksgiving and things we are thankful for and a chance to win some blog candy along the way. If you have come from Liz http://tryin2craft.blogspot.com/ you are right on track if not you can start at the beginning http://honeybearzdesigns2011.blogspot.com/ I am so glad that you joined us today!

Today I would like to share with you a Thanksgiving Card that I sent to all of my family. Thanking them for all the wonderful things they do.

Please leave a comment and become a follower and you will have a chance to win a catch all bag.
