Above is a sample of a kit of the month. Each kit will contain enough materials to do two complete projects. Each one has two accessory packs which include things like ribbon, die cuts, stamped images, glitter, dew drops and other fun stuff. It is also packaged in a cute way. If you choose to purchase the kit of the month, I am now going to discount the price to $5.00. This will cover shipping cost only. The kit is a retail value of approximately $10.00
A few questions I have been asked by you, my readers are “Can I order more than one kit”, the answer is yes, and the shipping cost for up to five sets is still $5.00, over that and I will quote you a price for the shipping.
Another question that has been asked is “What is in each kit’, I covered that question in the opening statement of today’s blog post. The kit pictured above uses a Sizzix die called a suitecase. It does resemble a minature suitecase.
The last frequently asked question is “Can I request certain items be included in my kit?” The answer is YES! That is right, I will allow you to pick from the following available treat dies;
Suite Case, Pie Box, or Bag with handles choice of your favorite colors, They will be shipped partially pre-assembled for your ease of folding when you receive them.
First mini blog winner will be drawn on August 5th, the first winner will be receiving a huge lot of ribbon! Good luck and don’t forget to read my blog and comment often.

I really loved the way this card came out, I wanted the cards to all have the yello polka dot paper, but did not have enough of it to make six cards, I do really love the flower patterned paaper with the purple accents, and have to admitt my long time hate relationship with the color purple seems to have eabated.

This post also gives instructions on how blog candy will work over the next several months, it will only grow larger if more people follow and leave comments here for me.
On a side note, I received my order of Our Daily Bread . Please click their name to view their websight.
Oh my goodness, I have been spending way to much time enjoying the many video’s coming out of CHA this week, I swear I may have to get a job just to support my habbit. I love the new nestabilities dies and the possibilities the larger dies are going to give to the home crafter! Check out Stamp TV for up to the minute videos and fun stuff with Gina K.
Just a few more days until August, and I am starting off the month with a few exciting changes.
First of all, I want to let you know the August kit of the month will be a surprise, the cost of the kit will be $8.00 and the overall retail value of each kit will exceed $10.00. There will be many surprises in each kit. Please email me privately at ms.rhetta@gmail.com and I can quote you a price for the kit that is only shipping. I do not expect for you guys to pay for a kit if for some reason (which will remain between you and I) you are unable to do so.
The fee coveres my expenses in materials and shipping, it also allows me to put in a few extra things and surprises including embellishments and completed mini projects for your enjoyment.
Ok, onto the new “mini” blog candy. Randomly EVERY WEEK I will put all the comment names in a hat and draw for a mini blog prize, Each of those winners will be put into a hat and at the end of September (around the 30th) a large blog candy give away then. The more you comment the more chances to win, increase your odds by posting my blog link to yours and explaining the rules.
I am not sure if you guys are keeping up with CHA events and announcements, but I am head over heals in love with the new Spellbinders grand dies, I already have a large and extensive list of the new dies. Now I am thinking about seriously increasing my own collection of dies and purchasing the new Sizzix Pro machine. I will be selling off my Big Shot (without a multipurpose platform) this is the manual black machine and is was barely used. I chose to use the more efficent and easier Big Shot Express which is the electric machine. If you are interested in purchasing the big shot machine for $90.00 with flat rate shipping, let me know via email.
Please feel free to ask any questions and go ahead and start placing your orders for August Kit of the month, as I receive five or more orders they will be drop shipped to your address. Paypal only, use the link on the side bar for the purchase.
Coming Soon! Custom Scrapbook supplies, books, materials and stamped images, I am always happy to stamp some images using memento tuxedo black ink (Copic friendly) for you, all you have to do is ask! I would as only that you leave a tip in my tip jar for the amount of postage it takes to mail them to you.
Have a great Thrusday afternoon, and please let me know what you think.
I hope this day has brought you joy and peace. It has been a wonderful day in my Sunny home in Maryland. Did you know that I am praising the Lord for the soon blessing of rain. I hear the thunder and I see the sky turning a forbidding gray.

Shortly after starting this post, Mike rushed to the top of the stairs to let me know he was going to get Chad. I immediately went up the stairs to get a flashlight. I didn’t have that flashlight in my hands 5 seconds before the power went out. We where without power from about 3:45 pm until early this morning — probally around 3:00 am. The really sad thing is that we didn’t get much rain out of the storm, just a hot muggy night.

Today I have a violin lesson. I plan to leave out early enough to go to the thrift store. I didn’t buy much in the way of shorts and am finding that the ones I have from previous years are throughly worn out. Besides we have a beach trip coming up, I would like some “new to me” things.

The Birthday/ goinging away present is for my friend Tracy who is leaving with her family to go to Alaska. She is a very sweet lady and inspite of any differences we have had in the past, I find her truthfulness, honesty and concern very comforting and I consider her to be a true friend. I will miss her.

Have a great day, and I hope to get some fun stamping time in.
