More Moxie Fabness... and a Reminder!

We are absolutely thrilled that our stamp set Fun{tache}tic, designed by Nina B Designs for The Craft's Meow, has made it into the Moxie Fab World Top Ten Trendiest Stamp Sets of 2011!!! What an honor!!!

And the icing on the cake is that our own Lindsay Amrhein's Fun{tache}tic card made it into the Moxie Fab World Top Ten Trendiest Challenge-Winning Projects!!! Bursting with pride here, people. Bursting with pride. ;)

For a chance to win a moxie fab prize from Cath, be sure to comment on the posts (links above) by midnight Eastern on January 1st!

Wow, I can't believe 2011 is coming to a close! This year saw the birth of The Craft's Meow on March 21st. It's been a great ride ever since (albeit with a few bumps on the learning curve ;). I do believe 2012 will be a great year. Yes, we're narrowing our product offerings to just TCM stamps and custom dies (and perhaps one or two other surprises), but that's what we do best, so why not? ;) I hope you'll stick with us and join in the fun and creativity!

Speaking of which, the days are dwindling and there's only a few left to take advantage of an additional 25% off of all clearance sale merchandise:

• LaBlanche Stamps - 25% off!!

Hello! Are you enjoying the holiday hustle bustle? I hope so!

I won't keep you long today because I know you're busy. I just wanted to pop in and let you know that

2. I finally received my re-order from the stamp manufacturer around 8:30 pm on Tuesday night (wow, are they backlogged... I never expected it to take this long, and I hope it never will again!). 
3. I'm running a promotion through the end of the year which was announced to my newsletter subscribers about a week ago.

Sale promotion... take an additional 25% off your order (except for TCM stamp sets) by entering HolidaySale at checkout. I'm down to the wire and need to clear out all non-TCM stamp products by the end of the year. During this sale, I've had to raise the free (or reduced) shipping to orders of $100 or more. However, if you're ordering mostly stamp sets I'll still honor the $65 limit... just drop me an email. And, as always, I refund for overpayment of postage. I hate paying postage myself, so I try to make it as inexpensive as possible for all of you.

We are seriously down to final quantities... just one or two remaining for most items. Shop early for the best selection!

Thank you so much for your patronage! I sincerely hope you have a joyous holiday season!!!
