Who says you can't go home again?
Hello all you lovely people! I just got back from a great weekend in my hometown in CT. I went to join the celebration of my BFF's daughter's Bat Mitzvah. It was a wonderful, weekend long celebration. Another great milestone to capture in the scrapbook! It seems like yesterday that we were the crowd of giggling teen aged girls on the dance floor. *sigh* Anyway, it was great to see my home town again and to catch up with my friends. Now I have to wash and sort laundry so we can pack up again and head out to see my family next week. I'm determined to squeeze in some stamping in the next few days. Wish me luck!
Before I left I had promised to share the two make-n-takes from our last team meeting. Here they are. Have fun stamping!!

A taste of...ribbon!
The new Stampin' Up catalog is just around the corner and they've been teasing us with some great sneak peeks. One of the new products this year is this yummy Polka Dot 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon in the new In-Colors. They are fabulous! Oh, and did I mention they are reversible? That's right! If you don't want the polka dots to show, just flip it over. Voila! You have all six yummy colors in a solid grosgrain. Gotta love it!
I know you want them all!! I do! Several customers have asked me in the past to do a ribbon share, so here we go.
The ribbon share consists of all six new In-Color Polka Dot 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon. You'll get 3 yards of six colors for only $15. The ribbon will be ordered on July 1 and will arrive at my home just a few days later for you to pick up. Postage will be extra if you need your ribbon share shipped to you.
Email me today and let me know how many share you want (bhoopes@cinci.rr.com). I'll collect payments starting June 24.

I can't complain
I volunteered to do the shoe box swap for our last team meeting. I brought this little gem:
(I'll list all the project details in a bit.) The nice thing about the layout, which was inspired by a similar card by fellow demo Dawn Olchefske, is it's quick and easy and you can fit many of our sentiments in that space. I opted to do a thank you card because, quite frankly, I use a lot of them. But I guess that's a good thing. That must mean I have lots of things in my life to be thankful for. Great friends & family, loyal customers and great blog visitors like you!
Here are the other swaps I received at our meeting. Aren't they all just too cute!
We also made two make-n-takes, but I'll save those for another post. For now, enjoy these beauties and THANKS for stopping by!

Goodbye Old Friends
The new Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalog is coming out July 1, which means it's time to say goodbye to some old favorites. Click here to see the list of Last Chance stamp sets. These sets will no longer be available after the end of June.
Here's the list of retiring accessories as well. Retiring accessories are only available while supplies last and they tend to go quickly. Please call or email me right away (513-965-8172, bhoopes@cinci.rr.com) or visit my website (http://www.blaise.stampinup.net/) to place your order so you don't miss out.
I'm having a hard time getting the list of retiring accessories to show up on my blog correctly. So in the meantime, you can see the retiring accessories and which ones are discounted in the online store here.
