Whoa Christmas Tree

Just wanted to share pictures of our Christmas tree. I ordered it online at NobleFir.com. They let you pick your own or if you'd rather, they pick one for you. It was the first time I've ordered a live tree before. It took about a week to get here, looks great and smells nice and piney. I love it! My allergies feel differently, but it only took two days to get used to.

I'm working on Christmas cards now, listening to some Christmas music on Rhapsody and sipping hot apple cider. Yum! This cold weather sure does make for a good Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Upcoming Changes

There are new and exciting changes happening at The Angel Company!!

First of all we're going back to an annual Inspiration Book and Catalogue which will be released this summer at Seminar, this will be our core catalog. This catalogue will be released on an annual basis at each year’s summer Seminar and will offer a variety of merchandise including our top-selling stamp sets. To supplement that annual catalogue, two “magalogues” (cross between a magazine and a catalogue) will be released throughout the catalogue year…one during the fall and one during the spring. These magalogues will have a seasonal focus and will also introduce new products, including new hostess sets.

Therefore, as we prepare for our first Base Book to be released at Seminar 2009, we enter a period of transition concerning our catalogues. A new 48-page magalogue will be introduced at Leadership Conference at the end of January and will go “live” February 1, 2009. This magalogue will introduce a variety of new products. It will have stamp sets corresponding to the Spring/Summer seasons and will take the place of our Spring Supplement. This first-edition magalogue will also introduce an exciting new format that we look forward to incorporating into the 2009-2010 Base Book that will be released at Seminar. The items in the current catalogue will remain in circulation until the new catalogue takes its place in June.

Also, stamps will be reflected at 100% in the Inspiration Book and Catalogue and the magalogues. I will be attending the Leadership Conference in January and I look forward to sharing the first magalogue with you come February.

Hope you are as excited as I am! It's like a whole other Christmas. LOL

Memory Purse

Last week I spent some time working on my memory purse. It's a pretty neat little purse. It has snaps on the side that open and you can slide your pages inside which means you can change it whenever you want or with the seasons or holidays. I used the Penelope paper and cardstock with pumpkin spice versamagic and violete palette inks. I used curls & swirls , He Said She Said, F is for Family, and Swoops & Swirls.

Weekend Fun

I've been unpacking more boxes and finding many things I'd forgotten I had. One thing I was looking for was some inspiration from two of my favorite magazines PAPER CRAFTS and CARDS. I need some ideas for Christmas cards so I thought these would really help. I'm also going to check out the latest downloads from SHEETLOAD and see if I can crank out a few starter cards and then work on my final card. While I'm on the subject of sheetload too, a fellow angel submitted her TAC sheetload, be sure and take a peek. I also have calendars and some card swaps to work on so it's not like I don't have things to do. Well really I should go walking, I haven't been in almost a week, but I did go out earlier and helped my honey do yard work. Our blower is on the fritz so he suggested I sweep up what he edged and that was a mini workout. It's sad that I'm going to be sore tomorrow from sweeping. I'm going to attempt to wake up early this week to sneak in a 30 minute walk before work, but the cold and I are not friends and it's starting to get pretty chilly in the mornings. I may have to take my walks during lunch. I'm going to mull over that while I work on some cards.

I hope you've been inspired to work on some things for this upcoming holiday season, whether it's for Thanksgiving or perhaps some early presents for Christmas.

Hopefully I'll have some goodies to post soon. Enjoy your day!

I went walking last night after work and then made dinner and crashed, so I don't have any inspiration to share today, check back soon!

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

I've been wanting to be inspired so I can get a jump on my Christmas cards and some other projects that have been on my mind and today for whatever reason I'm in the zone. The creative zone. I've decided to use my penguin stamps on my Christmas cards so now just to work on a design. Let's hope this lasts me till after work because I'm swamped today, but I would love to sit down and work on something tonight.

Stay tuned and have a terrific weekend!

The New Bind-It-All

For all you girls who just love pink (me, I'm waiting till it comes out in purple - just kidding - I already have the original one, but truth be told, I would like the new one) the bind-it-all is now available in pink.

The tool looks and works exactly the same, yet has a couple new features. The new design is able to punch through thicker material, and has an extension on the paper guide bar and plate. It is now a soft pink where it used to be a turquoise blue. To view a photo of the pink Bind-it-All go to the Products section of E-Commerce, click on Accessories, then click on Tools. From there, scroll down to the Bind-It-All.

The packaging that the product will arrive in is also slightly different. The new color helps to distinguish the newer version of the Bind-It-All from older versions.

Orders yours now from The Angel Company.

Welcome!

How do you like the new blog? I tried switching to a new blog host, but didn't like it much so here I am, new blog name and I'm ready for the holidays!

Have you started on your Christmas cards or gifts for the holidays? I've had ideas here and there, but nothing really moves me. It's creeping me out, I need to get on the ball because it's all around the corner, you know how it is, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all within weeks of each other. I've been volunteered to host Thanksgiving at my new house too so there's quite a bit of work to do there.

My goal this season is to get Christmas cards and 2009 calendars out to my family and friends. I don't really have any idea what I'm doing for Christmas cards. I have a few stamp sets in mind, but need to sit down and play with some card layouts.

Since moving, my craft room is setup, my table is set up and I've sat down maybe once or twice thinking I'd finish some old projects I'd started, but the inspiration hasn't kicked in yet. I even spent some nights checking different sites for inspiration and it just didn't move me. I'm going to go through a couple of stacks of stuff and see if that will inspire me. I have a calendar swap I need to finish so that'll be the push I need.

I hope you're all doing well. I'll have some TAC updates for you soon. There's another cool giveaway this month. I'll post more soon.
