Anticipation | December Specials and Classes

Thanks to Karen Pedersen for sharing her beautiful card
featuring the Stamp of the Month.

Delightful December. It brings to mind magic, wonder and excitement when you hear it. My mom always used to sing a song this time of year, called Anticipation. Just humming the tune could put you in the spirit of giving. I can no longer carry much of a tune, but I'll be glad to share a sliver of mine with you and help make your month Merry & Bright.

1. HUGE Sale: You’ll be tickled with the FABULOUS new sale items on my website that went up at midnight this morning (December 1). Just head to my website and click on "While Supplies Last." 

Among the new additions you will find a wide variety of paper and coordinating accessories, all with a substantial markdown. You will also find that most of the items that are currently available will also see a further markdown at that time.

2. $1 Christmas Card Class
I am privileged to be co-hosting a Christmas Card Class with my pal, Yvonne Wickham. We have designed 4 fabulous cards, which are fun, festive, and FAST! We know you don't have much time to spare during the holidays, so we've put together a quick class to get your cards done in a blink. With the touch of your nose, these will assemble quick as a wink, and are priced for minimum impact on your holiday budget, so you can send some beautiful handmade greetings this year to your loved ones, and they'll think you toiled for hours! Class will be held in Taylorsville at Yvonne's Craft Room. $1 per card. RSVP (email) with the number of each card you would like by Friday December 7th so we can cut them in time for class to help speed you along. Can't make it? We'll be glad to send you as many kits to assemble by your own holiday hearth as you like. Additional coordinated stamped envelopes are available! Contact me today to get directions and reserve your place! *Postage not included.*

3. Free Holiday Gift:  To sweeten the deal even more, from December 1–31, all orders placed on my website that reach or exceed $50 will also include a free Bonding Memories® glue pen (Z553)—a $4.50 value! Shop early, because these deals are only available while supplies last.

4. December Stamp of the Month:  With every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax) during the month of December, one of these awesome month-to-month stamp set,Year Round Cheer, can be yours for only $5.  That means if you spend $100, you can purchase 2, and so on. Nice!  This stamp set is a perfect holiday gift, and for only $5...why not?

Warm wishes,

Mall Rat {Studio J}

This is my secret name for this layout. Shh, don't tell Brook! (I don't want to scar her for life with my outdated vernacular, at least, not any more than I already have.) It's said with affection!

My sweet baby girl is growing up so fast! These pictures of Brook are from a few years ago, just after she turned seven. Seven is Heaven! They are a collection of random shots of her being girly over a few months that summer that just didn't go with anything else. Together, they paint the picture of a pre-tween tomboy who is just starting to pay attention to girl stuff (but don't tell anyone).

The focal shot is of Brook on a girls outing at the mall - just the two of us and no boys. In our house, this a real rarity! Brook was so excited to be doing Mall Stuff. We shopped (and bought!) just for her, we found some gifts for others and we had an Orange Julius at the food court which is what I remember most about being a kid and going to the mall. It became a tradition of my best friend and I to hit the Hello Kitty store and have an Orange Julius (remember when you used to be able to go places alone as a kid?)

When I met Brandon, he would always have a fresh, hot pretzel, so that became a tradition for us that we have shared with our kids as a family. For me and my princess, though, we did the girl thang and got Juliuses! Enjoy the moments.

Warm wishes,

P.S. - Don't forget Cyber Monday lasts through 11:59pm!
