Well finally

The weather has straighten out a bit. We have some sun. Yippee!
Linda and I have been busy with spring cleaning in the shop. Which means we have moved some things around. We had to make room for some new displays and new products. Just yesterday I got two orders in, one from Judikins and the other from Impression Obession. The Viva Las Vegas stamp order should come in any day now... Besides stamps I have some new gelpens and 12 x 12 double sided paper. There are some other new little trinkets. You will just have to stop by and check every out. Hope to see you soon.

Crazy weather continues

However it is a sign of Spring so I will gladly put up with the crazy weather. We are so tired of winter weather around her. This part of the Country has been spoiled the last few winters. We finally got back to our 'normal' winter weather and we all are crying about it like little spoiled babies that we are.... Today we are having typical Irish Weather. It is raining.

I want to wish everyone a Happy St. Pat's Day even if you aren't Irish! I am lucky enough to have some Irish blood in my veins.. I am celebrating this evening at home with my Husband of German Heritage with Corned Beef and cabbage and all the trimmings. I think I need to make a stop at the store on the way home to pick up some Beer to go along with the meal... Somehow a gin and tonic on St. Pat's Day seems to be sacrilegious.
The above card was one of Linda's 3 for $3s last week. Jane made another neat spinner card using the four heart clover you see here.
We have a lot of new stuff in the shop. Many orders have come in and I am expecting more. Be sure to check out the shop's web site to see the latest classes and 3 for $3s. www.theartfullhand.com

Crazy Weather

Here in my little corner of the midwest the weather has been exceptionally crazy the last few days. Last Sunday the husband and I enjoyed margaritas in the back yard with gentle breezes and temps in the high 70's. Monday a cold front came through and dropped the temps to the mid 30's. Today Tuesday the weatherman still is forecasting anywhere from 3 to 10 inches of snow depending on which weatherman you are listening to. At my house all we got was a few snow pellets. In town there was slightly more of a dusting. Right now there is some snow falling in town. So we will just have to wait and see what the heavens actually deliver to us. Hopefully it will not be the excessive amount predicted.
Our Used Stamp Sale is this coming Saturday at the Artfull Hand. We have received delivery of boxes and bags stuffed full of really good items. It looks like it will be another fantastic sale. The hours are 10 to 5 on Saturday. No exceptions.
The March of the Flamingos sale will be suspended that day as there will be just too much going on to be tossing balls about....
