1/4/22 Updates & Stampin' Up! News

Hello! And Happy New Year! My year started out with recovering from some elective surgery that took place on December 30th. I'm still moving a little slow, but soon I'll be back to my energetic self. To those who heard me share this news in my last YouTube Live on the 29th, thank you for your well wishes! My boys are getting taller, and now the shortest in my house (unless you count our cat, Lucky). This photo was taken about a month ago by my friend, Simona Boler from Simona B Photography. We have hopes for some interior remodeling on our main level this spring/summer and will be hanging a few family pics from this photo session on our wall.

With the start of a new year comes a new mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration! So be sure to check out all the news below.

Have fun paper crafting! And remember to...Stamp Your Art Out! ~Rachel
