January 20, 2020...Nature's Thoughts Dies....wow....that is unexpected!

Happy Monday Stampers! 

Good morning to you all!  
Here is a sneak peek of what we are going to be talking about in this post: 



I hope you had a snuggly warm weekend.  Here in Winterpeg, it was a stormy one!  

I had to cancel my class on Saturday, as I had ladies come from as far away as Pinawa and the snow and blowing snow was nothing to be traveling in!  There were numerous travel advisories out, so for the first time ever, I canceled my class, and rescheduled it for this coming Wednesday, Jan 22.  

My girls were very understanding and even thankful, as they did not want to travel in that mess either. 

My Saturday was a snuggly jammie day,  spent in my craft room reorganizing and prepping for a couple of classes.  This was great for me and much needed.  My ongoing low iron issues have now been further complicated with low B-12, so on top of monthly blood tests for iron and iron infusions, we can add B-12 to the mix with monthly shots for that!  Geesh!  

The constant exhaustion, brain fog, and dropping things all the time are now explained- all side effects of low B-12. 

Sunday we went out for breakfast with friends we have not seen since before Christmas at the newly renovated Smitty's on North Henderson Highway.....very nice renovation....so bright and modern!  The roads were SLIPPERY....geesh! 

Afterward, we went to the gym and Costco and then back home.  I intended on making a video tutorial and pre-posting some blog posts for this week but man I was exhausted.....I got back in my snuggly jammies and grabbed a blanket and a pillow and had a nap on the couch.......a three and a half hour nap!  Mike woke me at 7 and said "if you don't wake up soon you will not sleep tonight".....no worries....I slept!  Ha ha.....oh well if I must have needed it.  

Ok so on to Natures Thoughts Dies, they are in the new PRODUCT COORDINATION promotion starting February 1 and they coordinate with the Postive Thoughts stamp set found on page 23 of the new Spring Mini catalog. Here is the image that is in the promotion flyer: 

This is, in my opinion, unimpressive and poor showcasing for these products. I have the stamp set which I love and have already used numerous times....but the dies did nothing for me. I did not give them a second glance and did not purchase them in the demo preorder.  

Now when you go to the online store. . . this is another story....this is  a closeup look at this gorgeous stamp set and a closeup look at the coordinating dies: 


Now stop and really check out this closeup image.....do you see the unexpected?  

Check out that FANTASTIC frame!  

It has tiny holes around the frame making it look like eyelet lace!  

I found ONE CARD on Pinterest that showcases this great frame.  

It was made by Lynn Kolcun, and she paired it with the Bird Ballad stamp set. Isn't this FANTASTIC


Her card has sold me on these dies.  I did not order them....but I am now!  

I just thought I would share this unexpected find with you.  

Contact me if you live in Canada and wish to order these items ( or anything else) 

Have a great day and Happy Stamping!
