China

Many of you know that I was away for two weeks visiting my son, daughter-in-law and three grandsons for two weeks in San Jose, Ca. While away I was thinking about new card ideas for classes. I also planned my Open House on July 5th. Upon my return I dug out the stamp sets that Stampin'Up just retired. All of them have been good friends over the last 12 months. I'm also getting them ready for the Open House where a purchase will allow to to select from those stamps, dollar for dollar for an order placed that day. That is my way to give back to you for all your support. I will also have retired stamp pads, reinkers, markers and paper packaged for sale at great prices. So I hope you can stop by on July 5th.
I'm sure you are thinking about the picture with this post. Well it was taken on Fathers' Day from my son's sailboat. The ship was docked in Oakland . The picture only shows half of this huge cargo ship. There was a second ship next to it and both were stacked seven high with containers. I found myself very proud of Stampin'Up for making their stamps in Utah. AMERICAN MADE and still able to control the quality. What a great company.
