What’s Your Best Guess?

Retirement Image-001

It won’t be long and this year’s Retirement List will be out – There is always a lot of speculation as to which stamp sets will be on the retirement list and this year I thought it would be fun to see who can guess what’s on this year’s list.

So…… I thought why not make it a contest to see who predicts most accurately, and of course, there has to be a prize if it’s a contest – Right? And I have something special for that lucky winner.

Sound like fun? Want to see if you are the one who gets the most right? Who will be the closest? You or maybe your friend? Well there is only one way to test yourself and see how you stack up.  Are you up to the challenge and want to play?

Well here are the details-

  • Make a list of the top 10 stamp sets that you think are retiring. Then add 1 more in case I need a tie breaker.
  • Send me an email – subject line Retirement Party Contest  (to [email protected])
  • Include your name, address, and phone number (I’ll need these if you’re the winner so I can get your prize to you.) along with your list
  • Email me you list by 9 p.m. Friday, April 19th

Then sit back and wait for the Retirement List…..It’s coming soon and if you’re on my mailing list I’ll send one right to your inbox when it is announce later this month!

Polka Dot Parade Birds

Do you love birds? Do you enjoy watching them? I love it in spring when all of the different birds come to my feeder on their trip north. I especially love to see the flocks of robins looking for worms as they come through. I’m not sure why but I don’t see a lot of them during the year in North Georgia. So their migrating for me they always signal spring has arrived.

Want to make some of your own little Polka Dot Parade of birds that can hang around? Well why not make these cute little Bird Builder Punch clothes pins?

Polka Dot Parade Bird Clothes Pins

They are so simple to make. Just cover the clothes pin, decorate and add a magnet to the back. Voila! You’ve got a cute way to hang notes on your frig or anywhere else you need a reminder.
