One more special to share - MDS printed prices SLASHED!!

Just one more special to share and this one is permanent!!!

Stampin Up has slashed their My Digital Studio printing prices HUGE.

For many of you digital Christmas cards are the way to go - time to create, amount to send, wanting to include that fantastic family photo etc.  

TRY our My Digitial Studio 2 Trial program and create those Christmas cards in a snap.  There are some fantastic templates and additional downloads that make creating those cards SUPER easy and unique.  Here is short video from Sara Douglass from Stampin UP sharing just how cool this program is.

WHAT???  Single stamps!   Yes Stampin Up is trying something new and offering 3 selected sets as single stamps. This is a pilot project so take advantage of it while you can.

Some things to note:
 - This offer is good for clear mount stamps only.  Blocks sold separately and the recommended sizes can be found in the flyers
 - They will be packaged in individually in cello bags so if you'd like a case to hold them you'll have to purchase Clear Mount Stamp cases (119105) for a set of 4
-  Offer good only until Jan 2, 2013

 Perfectly Penned has been on my wish list for several months now.  What a great opportunity to get that 'Happy Birthday' greeting for super cheap!!! Or maybe just the 'thank you' . . .  but I don't have 'get well' greeting like that.  Decisions, decisions!!!

Thanks for stopping by even though I'm late :)

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

On Monday I'll share Day 3 on Hilton Head island.  After the chilly temps this week I'll be happy to go back to visit my "happy place" on the beach!

Cheers,

October Specials #1 - Ornament Keespsakes and a FREE Paper Piercing pack

Morning

Sorry for the late post but time got away from me yesterday as I was busy preparing for some clubs and workshops coming up.  Hey, I'm just thankful I got some work done rather than spinning my wheels just being back home.  And how appropriate - it's Thanksgiving this weekend :)

Here's to catching you up on the new specials and offerings SU has this month.

I'll post the second one in a different post as blogger is not co-operating at 7am.

Cheers,

Hilton Head - Day 2

A photo collage of day 2.  

Today we planned an early morning kayaking expedition near Pinckney Island. Pete and I have never kayaked before so it was a learning experience for both of us.  I chose a double kayak for us so in case I got pooped out I could stop paddling and make Pete do all the work.  Smart eh?

This was our skills course as we navigated the grassy areas.

Look at that form!

It was amazingly peaceful.  We were the only ones out on the water and it was breathtaking.

Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge

 After a morning workout we found one of those "dives" like you would see on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.  Well this one I found on trip advisor and asked our kayaking guide where to eat and he suggested this place - The Sea Shack.

They say it's where the locals go so it must be good.

Here I discovered sweet tea is gross.  It's cold tea with TONS of sugar in it. 

Yummm, my scallop Po' boy with fries, coleslaw and 2 hush puppies.

And Pete's Shack Attack - crab cake, scallops, tillapia, shrimp and oysters.  I tried oysters for the first time - icky!!  Not again.

After our HUGE lunch we went to the beach and for a pool side snooze.   That green roof is our hotel.

For dinner we met up with Allison, her dad, my friend Anne G.from Ontario and her daughter Alison.  We were lucky to have a car to go to this great Mexican resturant - San Miguel's.

I had the She-Crab soup.  A little spicy but oh so good.

Pete ordered the Echilada del Mar

 I forgot to take a picture of our dessert.  We shared a deep fried ice cream that we ate MUCH too quickly.  Are you sensing that we ATE lots on this trip.

We took a quick walk on the beach since it was getting dark but here are a few quick pics. 

The sweetest little bird that had a wounded leg.

Pillow Gift #2 - A night time snack

Are you liking the re-living of my holiday?  I am :)  I soo wish I was still there Wed morning when it started snowing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hilton Head - Day 1

Morning

I thought I'd share a little photo journal of our first day on Hilton Head Island.

We spent the morning driving from Savannah to Hilton Head Island with a pit stop at the outlet malls.  Kim, Richard, Pete and I shopped til we dropped (which isn't hard for me since I'm not really a shopper).  Pete bought more than I did but that was the plan.  Four pairs of shoes, some work out clothes and some presents for the kids and of course TARGET!  Richard (Kim's husband) is now a Target lover like me.  On to the pics . . .

The view from our 5th floor room.

I was contemplating taking an ax to those trees, but they were so beautiful.

The ocean is there through the trees.

Our room for the duration :)

And the lovely balcony!

 Once we unpacked and settled a bit we explored the resort and found the Hospitality Desk.

Stampin Up rented these bikes for us for our time on the island.  No public transportation on Hilton Head.

Aren't they super cute with the cool flag!

I hope we get one of these at the end of the trip!

All Stampin Up events must have CANDY!

 Then we headed to the famous Salty Dog Cafe.  EVERYONE on the island has a shirt from this restaurant!

Shrimp ceasar salad for me.  When I got this I said "Mine all mine"  My kids love shrimp and I always share with them. This time I didn't but I did share with Pete. 

Pete's crab cakes - day 1.  I think these were the best of the bunch.  No kidding, I think he had crab cakes every day while we were gone.

Okay, the real reason why we picked the Salty Dog - Reese's PEANUT BUTTER PIE! 

And in 5 min it was GONE!

 We explored the shops around the Sea Pines area of the island and then headed back to the Westin.  We were in awe of the amazing houses on Hilton Head Island.  I'd take any one of the shacks we saw that night.

 When we returned to the room, just before Pete opened the door I remembered - PILLOW GIFTS!   YIPPEE!!  The Stampin Up fairies delivered this awesome beach bag made by Land's End.  It's soo CUTE!

We slept VERY well after our full day and had to be up early on day 2 to go kayaking.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers, 
K

I so love these days - NOT!

We arrived home LATE last night from a fun filled 6 day adventure to the southern states.

Cheers y'all!
