On a personal note – I sent our daughter, Kaitlin off on Friday morning to DCI for the next two months. I did really well and only teared up as I checked her in at the airport and only got one set of “eye rolls” when I said text and send pictures a bunch of times. After all I’m going to miss the kid and the little stacks of junk laying all over the house that I trip over when she is home.

DCI packing

She was both excited and feeling overwhelmed with packing. I can honestly say mom was a bit too – trying to get the required 30 pairs of sock and underwear along with all the other items into one suit case was a hoot! (She was flying which added to the stress since the bag couldn’t be more than 50 pounds!) The enthusiastic picture above was the first of three times we pack things into the suit case.

Thankfully one of the vets took pity on the rookies and sent a picture of what she took with her so we were able to add a duffle bag for the sleeping bag and sleep mat and water cooler!

DCI luggage tag (2)

Kailtin will be marching with the Seattle Cascades and touring the country this summer on a bus (I think the show schedule shows 19 cities in 30 days!) Seriously, she says this will be fun and worth every penny. I know that it will be a experience of a lifetime, but really 2 months of sleeping in gyms floors and traveling packed in a bus…..hmmm.

We’ll be able to see her perform when she comes to Atlanta and performs at the Dome in July. Of course, I wanted to have a little reminder of home while she is away so I made some special tags for her bags for her. I couldn’t resist 🙂

DCI luggage tag (1)

She seemed especially pleased with the music theme and the way these turned out since I let her choose the color. I simply took a piece of black cardstock, scored it so that her information was hidden on the inside and decorated.

Stampin’ Blendabilities Marker Update

Blendabilities image

There have been some quality issues with the Stampin’ Blendabiities Marker line. And due to the nature of the defect that is being caused during manufacturing, Stampin’ Up! has concluded that the problems will only continue to become more widespread. Since the manufacturer is unable to correct the problem in a way that Stampin’ Up! feels would meet quality standards  and also provide a stable, long term solution, they have decided to discontinue the line. This decision was made by Stampin’ Up! after a great deal of deliberation and in order to prevent further disappointment with this product.

Blendabilities Q & A

Q: Will the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad (item #132708) and the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad Refill (item #133456) still be available for purchase?

A: Yes. These items will also be featured in this year’s 2015–2016 annual catalog. (The Tuxedo Black Memento is personally my favorite black ink product and I use it all the time for my projects.)

Q: What are the quality problems with this product line?

A: When the tip is welded to the barrel, the welding process can leave microscopic (invisible) holes in the marker tip. This leads to accelerated evaporation of the alcohol in the ink.

Q: Are all Blendabilities markers defective?

A: No. Most Blendabilities markers work as intended. (I myself have only experienced a few markers drying out.)

Q: What if your Blendabilities Markers are defective? 

A: If you ordered markers from me, please email or call me.

On a personal note, I’ve cried a few tears over this announcement myself since I’ve loved having this coloring option too. But as disappointed as I am that the line has been discontinued and Stampin’ Up! will no longer be caring this product, I’m proud to be associated with a company who has high quality standards and is concerned enough to pull a very popular item when it has issues.  And of course we still have a number of different coloring options available that I’m sure you’ll enjoy using for your projects.

The good news is that Stampin’ Up! realizes that we loved this coloring option and so will continue working to bring this product option to us in the future.

3/13/2015 Update: it is my understanding that Stampin’ Up! is currently working to find a new manufacturer for our Blendabilities line.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

If you have purchased Stampin’ Blendabilities you should have already received an email from me if not please let me know.
