Good Morning Fellow Stampers !
Here we are at Tuesday again. I hope you are having a fabulous week, and getting lots of your "to do" lists accomplished. With the holidays staring us in the face, I know I have a lot on my "to do" list as well. I'm planning a break from blogging tomorrow (Wednesday); so be sure to join me again on Thursday for some CASE-Out fun, and we'll hopefully have a 3-Way Friday for Friday's segment (at least my plan says that -- LOL).
Before we launch into today's "round-up" I just want to take a moment and share something with all of you. I know that we are a diverse group - that is what America is all about after all, correct? That means we each come from different backgrounds, beliefs, traditions, and political realms. I try very hard not to bring my viewpoints (especially politically) to this blog and to our stamping world. Here I want you all to feel that we can share our creativity and what we love in a safe environment. Whether or not we agree with each other on any particular topic, I work hard to "leave that at the door" each day and bring us all together with one common love - stamping and the creating of cards and gifts. Each of you is very important to me. When you are upset, it upsets me. If you have an issue, I encourage you to email me and chat with me about it. I am very open to any discussion. I also am here to support you, care for you, encourage you - whatever it is you need. I know we are walking through a very difficult time in our country and there are so many hot buttons - politically, racially, etc. My heart is burdened regarding all of this; but mostly that there may be people around me that may feel offended or are struggling through each day because they don't feel their voice is heard. At DDS Studios, we care about everyone, no matter your situation, stance, beliefs, or anything else. So please - do not feel offended . . . just talk to me!! Okay? You are all important to me!! So Big Hugs from me and Sadie Ann today!!
Let's jump in and see what's going on this month!

PRE-ORDER WINDOW OPEN FOR THE FABULOUS STAMPARATUS!!
I have some wonderful news for everyone today on the incredible fabulous Stamparatus!

This window will stay open until December 30th, and all orders put in will be taken! That means, you don't have to worry about Stampin' Up! "running out" and shutting down the window.

You just need the credit card # in the order to hold your product. See all the details about the Stamparatus HERE -- and let me know if you have questions!!
