Fun goodies! Trinity Stamps makes some stitched slimline goodies. Simon carries them, too. :0)

[@MistyElam]

I just got some from Trinity! That have some really GREAT ones!! I could spend A LOT of money in that shop.... but I'm being good, with Christmas just around the corner. Gotta think of my kid. 😄 I'm still waiting to get my hands on their slimline envelope die, that one is brilliant!! I got a couple of Simon's too. Can't wait to play with them. Thanks for the info. and for watching. 💜 💜

What a great release! It's been a few since I watched! Hope you are doing well my friend! I'll be popping in hopefully more often! Hugs!

Hi Shauna!! How are you, my sweet friend??? It's so good to hear from you! I can honestly say that I'm doing well, for a change. LOL I've been pretty good since June/July. How are YOU?? Are you surviving in this crazy new world of ours? I hope you and your family have been safe. Well thanks for popping in to say hello. I really appreciate it. 💜 💜 Hugs to you ~

Doing well my friend! This world is crazy for sure! It's been hard. We haven't been to California to see our girls since last Christmas and it stinks! Our second oldest has leukemia so she's really having to be cautious. This too shall pass we hope right? Big hugs to you sweet friend and I'm so happy you're feeling so much better. It's your turn!🥰💜🙏

@@shaunapestershaunaispink8094 I’m sorry to hear that, Shauna. I hope she has lots of family and support around her. Ugh, that stinks, not being able to be around her. It’s better to be safe than sorry though! That’s gotta be tough on you, not being able to see them since December!! Well, we’re being bombarded with tourist in my town and it’s so frustrating!! We had to cancel our family vacation this year but people can flock to our little town and spread this nightmare even more?!? I just can’t wait til we move past all this. I’m sure you feel the same way!! Anyway, big hugs back to you and your daughter will be in my prayers today. 💜💜

[@shaunapestershaunaispink8094]

Awww thank you my sweet friend! I appreciate your prayers for my daughter. I am with you on that. Can't wait until this is in our past! That is so sad that some people have no regard for others. I am sorry you didn't get to have your family reunion but instead had to worry about strangers bringing this sickness to your town! Huge hugs to you and your family. Stay well sweet friend 🥰💙

Nice haul! I couldn't get the plank stamp, hoping they restock. Can't wait to see what you make.

[@MistyElam]

Thanks Barb. Hope you got your wood planks stamp by now. 😊 I actually got to use the Boo Crew stamp set for a slimline card and matching envelope this week, but I just didn't have time to edit a video. I still have it so I'll make one when I have time but I've posted pictures of it over on my blog and Instagram, if you want to take a look. It turned out REALLY cute!! Haven't had time to play with much else from this haul yet. Soon.

[@barbkniess3985]

@@MistyElam I did receive them, so excited! I know what you mean, I have so many stamps, paper, embellishments that I have not been able to play with. Never enough time. Stay safe. I enjoy your videos.

I also ordered on the 3rd & have not received my order yet, it's been in "processing" status for a while now! I hope it'll arrive soon! I'm so excited to receive my goodies. This will be my very 2nd order with SSS! I fell in love stamping & card making when I stumbled across GinaK on youtube a few months ago! How long have you been stamping & card making? What got you started? Thanks for sharing!

[@MistyElam]

Hi Crystal! Hopefully you've gotten your order by now... lol Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I get sidetracked really easy. I was having that problem too with my orders sitting in "processing" but Heidi explained that they're working with only a few staff members at the time due to covid so instead of having a full team to fill our orders, they only have a few bodies to do so. Plus, they aren't getting their regular shipments either. It's frustrating, I know. Someone I know placed an order on August 3rd and she just received it on Oct. 7th. Isn't that crazy?!? But she lives overseas, I always think of her if I start to get frustrated that it's taking too long. 😄 Still, that's NUTS!! Shipping is out of control these days. But that was on the postal service, not SSS. Only you're 2nd order with Simon??? Wow! Well, welcome to the bright side!! 😁 I've only been crafting for about 5 years now. I love hearing what got people hooked. Gina does do great videos, doesn't she??? So I totally understand that. For me, it was 5 or 6 years ago, I decided to "help" my son make handmade cards for my parent's for their birthday so I got a few supplies and I all but literally pushed him aside and totally took over. It was like a drug to me! I was dealing with A LOT of stress from my health problems and it was the first thing I've ever found that completely relaxed me. Then once I got on KZbin and discovered Jennifer and Kristina, that was it for me. I was hooked!! I immediately turned my office into a makeshift craft room and bought anything and everything that I came across! I would even wake up in the middle of the night and have to refrain myself from going into my new "craft room" to craft. I had it bad. But in a good way, of course. I do miss just making cards to make cards though. I don't get to do that too often. I'm so very blessed and grateful to be on the Simon Says Stamp design team so I'm NOT complaining by any means. Sometimes I just want to sit down and make a card for no good reason, you know what I mean? Did I mention I'm a slooooow crafter? Some people can whip out 5 cards a day. Not me!! Some cards take me 2 days to finish. But I also have life going on around me so that kinda takes precedence over my cardmaking. 😊 So what kind of cards have you been making? Do you share them on social media anywhere? Have Christmas cards taken over your life yet? 😁
