Hurricane Debby runs from Florida up the East Coast dumping massive water along the way.
I'm hoping those of you located on the East Coast are safe and this storm has not harmed you, your family, or your home. Prayers for those who are in the midst of it.
I live in Florida, and although we are located in the coastal area, we are far enough that gulf water surge does not directly affect us. However, when I said we had rain....WE HAD RAIN! The rain wasn't a nice little rain...Oh, No! It came in sheets with strong winds making it go sidewise as times. Forget umbrellas, more of a hassle and probably got wetter with them!
Of course, we who have lived in Florida for a while understand when a storm comes and you're not asked to leave your home, you "hunker" down. That means you have supplies: batteries, lanterns/flashlights and candles. I like the artificial ones that one on batteries. You also have water, paper towels, trash bags, and pet food. If the storm is going to be bad...you fill up the bathtub with water (not to drink) but to use on toilets. Think about it...LOL.
In the middle of the storm, Stampin' Up! started the beginning of the DSP month long sale, July use our Bonus Rewards, and for Demonstrators...THE PRE-OFFERING OF THE NEW 2024 HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG !!! We've been teased with some holiday product in the Exclusive Online Store...but that was nothing like the WHOLE catalog to purchase our holiday stamp sets and papers and gems and ribbon and oh so much more.
Let's just say, you won't be disappointed. My purchases won't be into me for a while (I love having them...but my money doesn't like paying for fast shipping...I want product!). But I'm sure if you check out YouTube and your favorite Demonstrators blogs, you'll see many of the new items. Once my boxes come in, I'll be creating and hopefully posting here, so please come back and check them out. (My computer is acting up and I can't post any of my pictures of projects I've worked on the past month. Hmmm, wonder if it's due to Debby.)
Meanwhile, be sure to use the links to the right to get a copy of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, if you don't have, please let me know.
Meanwhile, stay safe and Keep Creating!
