YOU make February FABULOUS

Just received The Angel Company newsletter and it includes a FABULOUS new promotion for February.  Each weekday, beginning Monday, January 31, a guest contributor will be featured on Mischelle's blog
http://www.savvyprojectsblog.com/  If you've never been there before you should check it out, but you especially don't want to miss it during February.  20 designers (including my good friend PAULA KAY) will be featured show at least 3 examples of a single stamp set.  And the FABULOUS part - during February those stamps will be discounted by 25%.

Here is the schedule of Guest Designers to be featured in Februayr along with the stamp set they are featuring: 

And it that isn't FABULOUS enough, EVERY STAMP SET with a heart in it will be discounted as well - it's a very long list: 

If you are having trouble reading the details on my blog, just e-mail poki and I will be happy to send you a copy of the two pages.  Printouts will be available at KTECH (Kempner) on Feb 4 and TECH (poki's house)  on Feb. 9.  It's time to start STAMPING again!

I've added a new TECH Squad

Since 2008, I have been going occasionally to Copperas Cove/Kempner to do FUNshops with my friends up there.  They have decided that they need to get together to craft more often, so we have added 4 dates to the KTECH calendar for this Spring. (I'm calling it KTECH, so that I can keep it straight - projects will not always be the same as TECH, since they have missed out on some cool things that I want to do again with them!) 

Dates for KTECH Squad: 

Jan 21 - we did the boot easel card, and boot magnet (TECH did them last July) We had a great time, and LAUGHED all night (right, Kim? so, how is that "nutty" family of yours?)

Feb 4 - two Valentine projects, Thinking Inking, Design Line

March 25 - Project TBA, Thinking Inking, Design Line

April 29 - Project TBA, Thinking Inking, Design Line

Card Club RSVP

I decided to start giving a PRIZE to the first person to RSVP for CARD CLUB!  The winner for January Card Club is:

DEBBIE CHILDERS!

Debbie will get her prize on Wednesday night at Card Club!

You can expect to receive Constant Contact newsletters abour 10 - 14 days prior to Card Club or TECH Squad.  When the Constant Contact newsletter arrives at your in-box, be sure to RSVP for your spot at Card Club or TECH Squad (I'll be giving prizes for TECH too, starting in February).  I hope this will encourage you to let me know  that you plan to attend! I want to do preparation all at one time, so the sooner I know the easier it is for me. 

Beginning with Card Club in January, I will be giving direction sheets in a different manner. The cost of printing with my new printer has gone up dramatically, so I'm trying to save a little money ... what I save on printing I will be able to add in embellishing the projects.  I recommend that you get a notebook to start keeping your directions in (they will be printed as full sheets from now on, including a photo of the project)  There's that teacher instinct in me again! LOL

I checked all the SPECIALS this morning

In order to eliminate issues with orders tonight, I checked every SPECIAL from The Angel Company this morning to make sure it would work -- with the exception of ONE VERSAMAGIC INK color, they all worked!  I won't guarentee that it won't change before tonight! 

Great news!  TAC is re-evaluating our catalogues, and have decided to leave the SERENDIPITY in place until July 1, when the new LARGER core catalogue will premier!  So, if you were worried about getting all the sets you needed from that issue, you have a few more months to do it!

Hope today's (and tonight's) weather doesn't hamper your arrival and trip home tonight.  I'm looking forward to seeing you all!  We have "magic to do" (to quote song lyrics from The Wiz I think)  See you tonight!
