THE RUBBER ROOM RECOVERS!!

I was not able to use my beloved internet; but I am now back. I needed a new modem and then realized I had adopted a Trojan that thought he had set up camp for good on my hard drive. I showed him otherwise, and booted him out. Now, I just need to get all caught up. So, for today, I am updating you on all the happenings at Stampin' Up! There are three different posts below, and I am so excited to share these exciting new products with all of you!!

Check back tomorrow when I will catch up and continue my Count Down to Sale-A-Bration!
