More Stampin’ Up! News! + Sweet Succulents Card

Hello there and a happy Saturday to you!

Remember the other day, my last post, where I said that I would get up Product Shares and all of that other good stuff? I realized that I can't do that yet as a lot of the products are still current and I've found a tremendous amount of products that will coordinate beautifully to put together as Product Shares for you from all 3 brochure/catalogs of Sale-A-Bration, Spring 2016 Occasions Catalog and the 2015-2016 Idea Book & Catalog. I've already made up the Product Shares, filmed a video, and everything will be available on June 1, 2016. You can click on the current catalog pictures on my right sidebar that will take you directly to the downloadable PDF or you can view it online. In the link below, there is also a list of Retiring Products and Returning Favorites that you don't want to miss out on. Remember, there will be a slight price increase in all 8-1/2 x 11 card stock, which is a staple we use every single time we craft and other products are up to 50% off.

I'm pretty thrilled over what I was able to put together for you. There are a lot of Product Shares that come with stamp sets, but these are in limited quantity and it's first come, first serve. If you would like to be put on a list, send me an email and I will work off of that.

Would you like to see the beautiful cover of the new catalog? It's pretty cool.

See those really cool colors at the bottom left? Those are the new 2016-2018 In Colors. I'm working on a little something right now to show you what I've already received. Don't forget to read THIS BLOG POST for the new catalog and product announcements. 

Tomorrow I will be posting my video for my Mid-Week Inspiration for the Paper Craft Crew and I hope that you will join me. It's an organization video that you will definitely want to watch, so be sure to stop back by tomorrow!

In the meantime, I have a few cards that I've made this week that I want to share with you. It's been a little gloomy here this week so my lighting is not the best, but it's some great inspiration!

Thank you so very much for stopping by to visit me today and God bless. I will see you again tomorrow. For all of my mom friends out there, I hope that you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! For the moms that are forgotten and alone, I'm so very sorry for your hurt. It cuts you to your soul. You don't deserve to have your children erase you like you never existed. Just remember that nobody can take away your memories or even your identity of being a mom. Before your baby was even born, it was just you and your baby for 9 months. You felt the first kick, hiccups, them rolling around and the amazing acrobats a little baby can pull off in your belly, you know what I mean. My oldest son decided to put his butt up under my left ribs and to this day, they still stick out more than the right. My youngest son broke my coccyx and my daughters just flat out hurt and labor was extremely painful. It's weird that no matter how many kids you have, you're afraid to go into labor and then some kind of hormone releases that lets you know you're ready and then you just want to have the baby because you're really tired of being pregnant and wear something you can zip up! You should be loved no matter what. I can guarantee you that your babies will think about you too and just maybe through the hardness of their heart, they will realize that you are nothing what they think you are and use as a justification to dehumanize you. You are valuable and don't believe the lies that you are not. Your children already believe the lies and that's bad enough. So go out and get yourself some flowers and a present! Whatever you do, don't sit around and mope. Don't hurt yourself more when you are already being intentionally hurt by your children who are supposed to love you. You're still a mom and always will be. Don't forget that. You are also more valuable than a ridiculous text message. It's very insulting. I don't think there would be this type of universal problem if men demonstrated to their children how their mother is supposed to be treated through their behavior. Men set that tone in the household and that is a sound Biblical statement according to Ephesians 5:25.

You give yourself a wonderful weekend. You deserve it no matter what anybody else thinks. You must remember that children who dehumanize you and do not love their own mother clearly demonstrates the type of condition that their heart is in and what type of people they are, which is not a reflection on you whatsoever. It's a choice that they've made (with help no doubt) and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it and even if you try, it will not be good enough. It will never be good enough. They will always find something wrong with you no matter what. Don't hurt yourself like that. Now, go do something! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU!

Ephesians 5:25.
