RETIRED INVENTORY FINALLY LISTED AND ON SALE

Just so you know, the last couple of months I've been dealing with the loss of my mom. Mom passed away May 2nd from complications of a very risky vascular surgery, extremely poor blood circulation and infection throughout and gangrene in her foot. We're pretty sure she stroked too about a week before passing. Mom was almost 86 and very frail. Besides dealing with the bundle of intense emotions that comes with losing such a close loved one, I've been sorting through all of Mom's belongings. After selling and giving away what we (my brother, husband and I) don't want or need, I brought home what I didn't have time to sort through before needing to vacate Mom's apartment. So much of it holds sentimental value, so the sorting is taking quite a lot of time.

The last few days I've needed a break from sorting Mom's thing and all of those heavy emotions, so I turned my focus to my Stampin' Up! business, which has been on the back burner for about 3 years. It was 3 years ago in April when Mom became so sick and frail. Expecting Mom's passing at any moment was very stifling to my creativity and productivity in general. Though I miss Mom something awful, I don't have that dreadful expectancy hanging over me anymore of a devastating call from my brother. It's been a relief to all of Mom's loved ones knowing Mom is no longer lingering in agony. I look forward to seeing her again when I too meet my Maker. 

So, over the last few days of trying to stoke up my Stampin' Up! business, I finally got my retired 2016-17 Stampin' Up! products listed and marked down. The retired products are from the Stampin' Up! 2016-17 catalogs, including the annual catalog, the 2016 Holiday catalog, the 2017 SAB and 2017 Occasions catalogs. Please click here to download/print my Excel doc of those products. I also have it as a Word doc. Please email if you need that instead. Or, see the below table showing my newly listed products. Also included on the list are a few previously retired items I've been hoarding. I have other products I need to let go of, but listing those will take a while. I need to do a physical reconciliation of all my retired products versus my lists to make sure I don't miss anything. I really need to clear things out so I can more easily move around my work space. So I'd be thrilled if you want to give a new home to some of my retired products. 

If you refer someone new to me and they order, I'll happily send you a token of my appreciation. 

Need to look up any product(s) and don't have a hard copy of the catalog(s), please see my list of retired catalog pdf's here.

Need a retired catalog hard copy? Please click here to see what I have available. My retired catalogs are free with any retired product(s) order. 

Also updated today: Please see my list of past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills. I've discounted my retired past kits and refills quite a lot more than before. The kits have just piled up since I subscribed, again because of my stifled creativity the last 3 years. 

Note: In the table below, AC stands for 2016-17 Annual catalog unless otherwise indicated. All stamp sets listed are clear mount or photopolymer stamps unless otherwise indicated as wood mount. 

That's all for now, but watch for posts as I add more retired products to my sale inventory.

Questions? Please email me. Thanks for stopping by, Michelle

CREATIVITY IS GOOD MEDICINE!

Did you know that studies show spending time being creative is good for your health? The more often you do something creative, the better you'll feel. I didn't know studies had been done on the subject until I read this article, "Why crafting is good for mental health". I highly recommend reading the full article, but my take-away was, in short, being creative can cause the release of 3 specific natural chemicals in our bodies that give us a non-medicinal, IE drug-free, feel-good reaction. That fact is more than enough for me to want to make a point to craft a lot more!

As a crafter since I was a Brownie in Girl Scouts during first and second grade, I've known that when I create something, like a stamped card, pretty gift packaging or even a simple pair of earrings, I feel great because I've accomplished something worthwhile. In the case of earrings, I can give them as a gift or I can wear them for years to come. In the case of a greeting card and/or gift packaging, that is the sort of thing that really touches the heart of the recipient. Everyone knows a handmade gift is always a gift from the heart. 

So . . . I want to remind you that Stampin' Up! makes it easy and affordable for you to be creative on a regular basis. How? With Paper Pumpkin, of course! As a subscriber, your Paper Pumpkin kit comes to you each month for as long as you'd like. Each kit comes with all of the paper products and trims pre-cut and ready to assemble. Most kits (but not the refills) come with a mini stamp set and a Stampin' Spot mini ink pad. Check out the links below for more info or to subscribe.
