So, I mentioned I wasn’t going to make it to CHA. Add in that it’s been a while since I’ve done a challenge/giveaway on my blog - and I say, let’s have some fun while the others are away!!

Got any sneak peeks you want to share? Anything you’ve heard about and you’re dying to see? Got news on some new releases coming out from companies not going to CHA? The excitement around this time of year is infectious – you want to see more and more and more…and not just stamping related, too. Dying to share a find on Etsy? Bring it on! This is a peek-a-boo game for some hidden treasures waiting to be found.

Post your sneak peek or other new release info (since there are some of us not going but might have new stuff coming out…) here to be entered. I’ll draw next Monday night. I generally base the number of winners on the number of comments, so the more, the merrier for sure! Spread the word about our peek-a-boo game on your blog, message boards, email lists, etc. You never know who’s going to have the scoop on what you’re looking for or didn’t know you needed to see. ha!

Belated Merry Christmas, everyone!  We’ve had a great holiday season at our house.  I can honestly say the boys have played with every. single. present they received.  It’s the same each year, but you’re always on edge for that one present that’s not as big of a hit as the others.  They’re just grateful little fellas that enjoy all their blessings.  Hard to believe sometimes when it’s I want this or that, but they really make you feel good when it counts.  Awww…  hehe  Did you get what you wanted?  If not, are you GOING to get what you wanted?    I got a new camera and some idea books that I wanted but wasn’t getting for myself, so woohoo!  I also got a compact photo printer that was a complete surprise.  Can’t wait to go to my next crop and purposefully forget to print some pics.  lol  Let us know how you did with your wish list!  I think the copic markers are something I’ll have to hunt down form myself. 

Also, Chris just posted on her blog about how she’s using the stamp storage system - check it out here!  I love her idea for the image sheet and that she’s adapted the system to suit her storage needs.  This is really what the system is all about!!!  Taking the idea as a starting point and making it your own.  I’m really loving hearing about how different people are using the basic system.  Share your story, too. 

Thanks to Diane for posting pics of how she’s using her system and sending me the link. Be sure to check out her blog. Her idea for putting the inserts for her Making Memories stamps in the back of the box to remind her about her foam stamps is great & one I’m definitely going to put into action with my system. I have a couple of foam stamp sets that I really love that I never think about using since they’re put away.

Send me pics of your system or a link to your blog and I’ll post them, too! I love seeing the different stamps everyone has. There’s always a new set to be found. That’s the point of all this, right? To store more stamps!
