Spring is on it's way! This weekend the time changes! Are you ready for that?! I sure am! We have had a LION start to March, so I am hoping it will go out like a lamb. So far just more LION!  I don't know where you live, but we had very stong winds blowing thorough our area (southern Wisconsin) and there are pieces of my roofing, a table, and some tree branches that have arranged themselves in my yard overnight, that I am not very excited about rearranging. But, it is what we have to do to get ready for Spring and pretty flowers and warm temperatures, so OKAY! Just for a few more days you can be strong winds, and temperatures can be cool, and rain can come, but by the end of the month! That is it! I am done with you!

Talk about things that are almost done - Sale-A-Bration is ending in just three weeks! I don't want you to miss out on any of the fun freebies. One of my favorite is the card tin. UPDATE: The Card Tin is completely gone! Out of Stock! No longer available! Sorry! I missed out too!

I plan to use mine for Christmas gifts. I will put the tins in my stash and then as I make some cards I will add them to my tins. UPDATE: If you love the tin idea for holiday gifts, may I suggest the Designer Tin of Cards. It is the same great tin, with dividers, and a whole card kit that includes the card bases, envelopes and some embellishments already! You just need to add the stamp set and ink (Mint Macaron is one of the suggested colors for the kit and I gave you my tip on ordering the retiring colors below). Purchasing both the Tin kit and the stamp sets qualifies you for a Sale-a-bration freebie. So if you place your order right now maybe you can still get the Hey Chick stamp set! Fingers crossed! Spit over your left shoulder, click your heels together three times and repeat after me, "There's no place like home. There's no place...." Oh. Wait. I saw that in a movie once. Just get your Sale-a-bration order in as soon as you can and you won't miss out on any more of the freebies!  Don't hesitate, you might miss out! Place your order today!

Build your stash! It is that time of year to get your refills and stash of cardstock and embellishments for the outgoing In-Colors. Officially they retire at the end of the catalog (May 31), but you won't want to wait for the retirement list. Usually, by the time it comes out at the end of April, the In-Colors are sold out! Take a look at a few of my favorite colors:  Mint Macaron or Watermelon Wonder for some spring and summer fun! If you don't have the ink pads yet, collect all five but remember to get the ink refills too so that your stamping fun can last for years longer!  There are beautiful paper packs, 12x12 cardstock, embellishments, and markers that are also available right now! As a bonus, until the end of the month you can build your stash AND still qualify for Sale-A-Bration freebies! Maybe you will be able to get a card tin or two yourself! 

So remember on Saturday night before bed to set the clock forward an hour so we can Spring Forward! Remember we gain longer days of sunshine soon so that one hour of sleep is okay to lose! Enjoy the lion as we prepare for the lamb!
