Good afternoon,
The Free Stamp set for November is going to be expanded…..instead of giving away one free stamp set to one lucky winner I'm going to give away 2 items. The first name I draw will get their choice of either a Figgy Pudding Rag Quilt Purse or the Christmas Punch Stamp set. The 2nd name drawn will win the remaining item.
If you'd like more info on how the Free Stamp works, click here.
I've got some news to share….. I've held off saying anything but I've worried some of you and it's time to share. We are moving…..out of state. That's all the details I can share right this minute (I will explain more later). I'm frantic with trying to get the house in shape for us to put on the market. I was in denial for a while and didn't act but the time has come for me to jump in with two feet. I've spent almost every waking moment stamping, blogging…. etc for the past few years and I'm sad to say I've neglected the house. Dave & I both are trying to look at this as an opportunity to get rid of some of the clutter.
Mid November update……Dave was offered an opportunity for us to stay in the Kansas area and we are not moving.
With that being said…..my head is spinning with selling a house….buying a house ….. moving…& last but certainly not least my Stampin' Up! business.
I want to continue posting and providing customer support to all my wonderful customers and those of you that know me…know that I will try my hardest. I'm also in the process of changing my Reward Punch Card….if you're a customer of mine and are working towards filling your card….not to worry your points will transfer over. My goal is to make it easier to track and make it easier for you to redeem. I'll post all the details as soon as possible.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
Angie,
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you the best with the move. I am sorry you have to leave your friends, but I can’t imagine that it will take you long to make more. You are an amazing individual, and I haven’t even met you! I am inspired by how you juggle everything you have going on, your commitment to family, and your love of STampin’ Up! I hope wherever your family lands that you will find your place and some peace. If you land in Alabama, we would welcome you with open arms. God bless.
Coming from a military wife who moves more than I’d sometimes like to…let me just say, YOU GUYS WILL BE JUST FINE!! Yes, the holidays are a crazy time to prepare for a move…we’ve moved TWICE in two years and have most recently landed in TN. The house will fall into place…everything will come together! Just remember, you can only do what you can do! Nothing more…just breathe in and breathe out and it will all be fine!!
I wish you and your family the best. I was one of the ones that was worried. I know how hard it is to leave your friends. I had to do that 7 years ago and hopefully by 2011 we will be moving back where are family leaves.
I know what it is to have to move and you have a lot of clutter.
You will do just fine.
Shirley
WOW that is big news!!! You will do great wherever you go, Angie! Your fans will follow! Best of luck during the move. Don’t feel guilty about taking the time. Family is FIRST. Soon you will be re-settled and stamping will always be here. GOOD LUCK and I’ll keep you in my prayers! I’m hoping you move to my neck of the woods! 🙂
That’s big news. Where are you moving to??? Any of your followers would be happy if you moved close to one of us. Best of luck to you and keep us informed.
Angie
Wow that is big news! Any chance you are coming to New York….Long Island as a matter of fact. I for one would love it….I would want you to adopt me in your downline as you are an awesome stamper!!!
I wish you and your family all the best and like everyone else has said. Everything will fall into place. I know you can do it!
Inky Hugs,
Terry~~
Angie,
You are truly an inspiration! Take a deep breath and remember someone bigger than us is in control:) Everything will work out for the best! I absolutely love that purse!! So much in fact I ordered that die on Oct.31 and then realized I could have gotten free DE! Still kicking myself on that one! If you are coming to Indiana, you have a new best friend!
Wishing you all the best with your move and whatever it brings for you and your family. Family first for sure! WE all love you and how much you share! I for one, will wait patiently for your blog updates!
Angie-
it is so great that we are all on the same page… we all want you to move by us! I know change is hard. When we moved to CO from CA I was so angry. Now I see why we are her and I love it here. As long as you are with your family, that’s all that matters- God Bless
How exciting! Life has new adventures ahead. Will be interested to hear where you are going. Good luck and enjoy throwing things out. It is soooo cathartic!
packing up and moving out is a LOT of work, but just keep thinking of the wonderful new opportunities ahead! i hope everythiing goes smoothly for y’all! (you’ve got a friend in fl if it happens to be that you are headed south)! best wishes for the move and getting settled! 🙂
Can’t wait to hear where you are moving to, what will be the lucky state?????? You will be fine and surprised at how easy it is to move. I am also a military spouse and lately have been moving every two years. It is a great chance to clear out the clutter, my favorite part of moving!
Good luck with your move. I enjoy your website so much and your ideas. I wish you the best. DH and I have moved three times the last three yrs (training and jobs, we sold, rented and now have settled and bought a house) with two SMALL children. If you need any advice, let me know, ha ha.
Like the other poster said, family first. Oh my, and right before the holidays. Stay calm. I’ll pray for a smooth transition! -Kelly in Ohio
Best wishes on the sale of your home and your move.
Moving is not my favorite thing to do either. The best thing to make things go smoothly is to be organzied. I know all of your currently Stampin’ Up! friends (in your current state) will miss you but I hope you are comming to WI. We would love to have an awesome demonstrator by me as there are no demonstrators at all close by me. Good luck with this new endeavor.
Deb in WI
wishing you nothing but the best with the move and everything. secretly crossing my fingers that you end up in Ohio! 🙂 we’re all here for you in case you need to vent. take care!
Well that is some news! I know you will get through it…. I pray it will go smoothly for you.
I enjoy your projects so much and the videos are the best! Thank you for the hard work you have put into your blog and the inspiration you provide.
I have fallen in love with your purses and I hope someday you will be able share how you made them. I don’t sew, but this has made me want to give it a try.
Hang in there and know that “we” bloggers will be here. Sure would like your new destination to be the western slope of Colorado!
Wow! You’re going to be busy! I, like all of the other gals leaving comments, hope you are coming to my state – Minnesota!! Good luck!
Wow, moving is exciting and stressful. I’ve had 6 Christmases in 4 houses in 7 years. I know it leads to great opportunities, you will think so too after the dust has settled.
Love all your videos and projects. I am so thankful for your site, it has gotten me stampin again after 3 years. I also love love love your handbag.
PS-hope you land in IA or Ne or CO, I can drive to each!!!
Hi Angie,
If you land up here in sunny California, we will definitely stamp together!!:) or even Nevada because that is driving distance!!:)lol
I wish you all the luck in the world & wherever you land up you will make new friends & have an even BIGGER stamp club!

Emma:)
Wow! Just look at it as a new adventure. I’m sure no matter where you end up (Texas?), you will have plenty of new friends. We will all be anxiously awaiting to hear where you are going and hoping it will be near one of us.
Oh, Angie!! Yes, I agree with many of the comments above. YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!!!!! Yes, you will be missed dearly by those of us that live near you. I was also in denial about you leaving, praying that you would not. But now you need my prayers for strangth to get you through this stressful time. HE is with you and you are not alone. Hang in there!!!
Well I’m putting my vote in for Southern Callifornia!!! Would LOVE to welcome you here! My oldest son/family just moved to Colorado Springs two weeks ago, so if you are near there it will give me yet another reason to visit Colorado!!! Best luck in the move – purge, purge, purge!!!! Use the move to get rid of stuff and SIMPLIFY your life so you’ll have move time to stamp and blog in your new hometown!!!! Good Luck! xo
Angie –
May the Lord keep you and you’re family safe in His arms while you venture out on a new journey.
I also hope you will land in Colorado!
Many Blessings,
Rebecca
Wishing you and your family all the best. I know once your settled in your new place all the hard work will have been worth it. Thanks as always for all you’ve shown us all. You inspire so many of us out here in Webland. Many blessing to you Angie!
Lysa
It be nice if you became my neighbor in Portland OR. 🙂
Gook luck with your move and de-cluttering. I always dislike that job but it feels good when it’s all done
I just moved into a new home in June. Big job, stressful yes, but worth it. Focus on your family first and everything will come together. I enjoy your website as a brand new demonstrator. You’ve helped me so much and I look forward to your future posts. Good Luck!!
Angie, you’ve had some great comments. I am hoping you are coming closer to New England but where ever it is I will still be a fan. Take care of what you can and God will handle the rest. Folks are right, as long as you have family and God’s guidance, it will be perfect whereever. Now, Get to work! : )
Love the bag!!! And the stamp set!!! Your fans & friends will follow…don’t ever feel guilty or bad about putting family first!!! That’s the way it’s suppose to be!!
Blessings!
Oh I hope you move near me… I would LOVE to come to your stamping classes!! So I’m officially putting in my vote for PA – right outside of Philly!! Good luck with your move, and just think, you get to set up a whole new stamping room!!
The bag is wonderful Angie! I thought that had to be Figgy Pudding cause I was watching your quilted flowers tutorial and thought to myself that I have some paper just like that!! I didn’t know it was available in fabric! That is awesome.
Nice you are moving!! I hope to Southern California!! 🙂
I’m truly at a lost for words. I know God has a plan for our lives, but you leaving us was not in ours- and God laughs. I’m just glad to know that your husband has a job. You’ll be able to readjust to a new schedule with your business and know that the Kansas City Girls will now become your long distance Girls. You will be missed. However, if you go NY or CO I can probably see you when I visit my children. Matter of fact, I’m in Colorado now. I’ll be home sunday. Now does this mean we will not be having club on 3rd Monday this month with all that is going on? Wishing you God’s richest blessing. Don’t worry kids adjust faster than we do. I’ve moved a lot in my other life (12 times in 12 years)and the kids did fine.Sure it was an adjustment, but if they see that Mom and Dad are ok, they usually are to. Missing you already,
Deb Robinson
Could you email me the best place to get the Figgy Pudding fabric. Can I get it at JoAnn’s??? I live on the west coast.
Thanks,
Melissa

hey Melissa,
I would shop online for it. JoAnns doesnt carry it. You can try several online stores. For example, Hancocks of Paducah, Fat Quarter Shop, Fabric Worm, Fat Quarter World even Etsy. Ive bought fabric with all those I just listed 🙂
Good luck!
