Any time you are shopping online, make sure my name is in the upper right corner.  Also, if you don't click in the store for about 20 minutes, it is my understanding that it will default to http://www.stampinup.com/ and you will be ordering directly from Stampin' Up! and not through me.  You will pay more and won't get any freebies. 

You can also phone in orders to me:   912-839-2161.

Remember that if you order online if your order is over $150, you will qualify for Freebies just like if you hosted your own one person workshop.

So be sure to get the very best prices and any freebies you may qualify for by clicking on my Stampin' Up! website:

(And use this site and go to Shop Now if any of the above address links don't work - this is the first time I've tried to include those direct to what I'm talking about areas of my Stampin' Up! website.   Always remember to check out the Clearance Rack too!  (Clearance Rack items can only be ordered through an online order.)

Also, Stampin' Up! recently announced some changes to the catalog program.  Sometimes customers were overwhelmed with the offerings in the mini catalogs and felt they didn't have enough time to purchase all the items they wanted.  I know I've felt that way.  Stampin' Up! listened!

Now there will be only two seasonal catalogs a year in addition to the main catalog.  Those two seasonal catalogs will be a little larger and will last longer - 5 months each.    The Occasions, Summer, and Holiday mini catalogs will be replaced the the two seasonal catalogs called the Holiday Catalog and the Spring Catalog.  The first Holiday Catalog will run from August 1, 2012 to the begining of January 2013.   The first Spring Catalog will run from the beginning of January 2013 through May 31, 2013.

The name of the main catalog will change from Idea Book and Catalog to Annual Catalog.  The Annual Catalog will run from June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013.  The Annual Catalog will be reduced from over 240 pages in the current Idea Book and Catalog to about 208 pages. 

The Definitely Decorative vinyl elements and the Simply Adorned jewerly offerings will not longer be offered.

Please take note:  The current Idea Book and Catalog will retire May 31, 2012 - a month earlier than the date printed on the back of that catalog.  I just want to make sure you know this so that you can plan ahead. 

Recap: 
- There will not be another mini catalog right after the current Occasions Mini ends April 30.

- The new Annual Catalog comes out in June.

I anticipate that we will get the current Idea Book and Catalog retirement list in a timely manner closer to May so that we will know the items that will retire from the main catalog.   I'll let you know when that list is available.
