UGH!! how retarded.....series 11 and my Ms

so i trek all the way out to Michaels yesterday to check their $1 stamp bin - nothing. i find someone who works there, explain I am looking for the new series 11. she calls someone in the stock room - they DO have something new for the $1 bin. we walk back to the stack room and what does she show me???? series 7!!!! i said um those are way behind - everyone already has those. she insists that no other Ms has had series 7 out yet and i say yes someone has already sent me a set before xmas.....she argues and i just give up and leave. WOW!!! so i am apparantly SOL on series 11. I live in a huge metropolitan area - you would think they would be on top of things....but anyway, IF there is anyone out there who does NOT have series 7 yet let me know and i'll grab some for you :P so frustrating! oh and my ac moore finally got out the series 9 - yay.

Studio G $1 clear stamps - series 9

So i hear series 9 has hit the stores. if you aren't familiar with these little cuties you're missing out! series 9 is an ac moore exclusive so i'll be heading out this morning to check mine out - wow i hope i have them. i'll be buying as many complete sets as i can and they will be on my website first come first serve. you can see a picture here http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/mb/viewtopic.php?t=83153

there are 40 in the series!!!!! how awesome is that??

i will also be hitting up recollections looking for my newest obsession - tim holtz distress products. check out the 12 tags of xmas on his blog and you'll see why

well i have much to do. i'll leave you with my two latest cards - just recently got tipped off on the lola rose collections at http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/ - love love love these - what a fantabulous idea!!! One has Lilli - Lola Rose's little sister and the other is a cupcake from the doodlicious collection i believe. Colored using gamsol and prismas with stickles and glass paint accents of course. there's never too much stickles!
