We're headed out of town Sunday for a much needed vacation ;) But as promised, if you ordered on or by the 10th, your order is shipping before I leave.

Have a fabulous weekend!

{NEW Interchangeable Stampers!}

2009-07-01T22:45:00.008-04:00

It's here, it's here...it's finally here! I'm so very excited about PSA Essentials new stamper design. They've changed their stampers to now be interchangeable, every design! How cool is that?

What does this mean for you? Well getting more out of your stamper for starters.

Click here to check out how it works:

Awesome right? I thought so :) Since this is a new technology for PSA, they are not compatible with stampers purchased before July 1st. Stampers created after this date will have the new Peel & Stick format.

Click below to check out the Pre Packaged Designs too!

Of course you're not limited to just the prepackaged designs, you can order a new DIE only for your stamper in any of their existing designs! That option is shown under the Personalized Stamper & Initial Stamper sections.

Don't forget those Book Plates, those too are now Peel & Stick. A must have for your library, recipe cards and much more. Again, you can order just the die for it!

Ready to get creative with these new stampers? Then here's a coupon just for you. Use code psa10 at checkout to take 10% off your entire PSA order. Valid through Sunday, July 5th.

Enjoy!!

{Lunch Boxes & Mini Lunch Notes}

2009-05-26T13:39:00.003-04:00

I'm happy to announce a new item to our product line up...Personalized Lunch Boxes and mini Lunch Box notes!

My 2 younger sons have been testing these for a few weeks now and I can confirm how much they adore their own personal case! Besides being used for the obvious (yes, your lunch), they've also been taking them in the car to hold their Legos, video games, you name it. It was a must have at our track out camps most recently too!

These boxes are a nice size which is deep enough to store those tall sippy cups (we have a tall Spongebob type with the straw) and that fit just fine :) Also on the inside is a clear holder which can store a lunch box note, how cute is that? So when your little one opens it up, you can have your own hand written note inside for them to see. We carry sets of mini lunch notes in packs for girls, boys and a gender neutral pack too.

Hope you enjoy this new addition to our product line! Additional designs will be added as well.

Enjoy!
xoxo

The good news is that our lunchboxes are about to be released WOOHOO! You should see them over the weekend or on or by Monday. So very excited! You'll want these for camp :)

Much love,
