Hello, welcome to the Pals Blog Hop! This month our theme is “Goodbye to January-June Mini and 2019-2020 Annual Catalogs; Hello to 2020-2021 Annual Catalog” where the Design Team is showcasing their favorites from the retiring catalogs or products in the new catalog! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE LOVED?  I know that having my two boys at home with me 24/7, helping them with distance learning, and working full-time has been a challenge.  It has definitely cut into my creative time and sharing my projects with you! 

Yesterday was an exciting day!  I received my 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog Demonstrator PRE-ORDER!  I got to see some of the new products up close and personal and now I can share some of that excitement with you!

JAR OF FLOWERS! This bundle is one of my favorites from the new catalog!  I was excited that the entire suite (Flowers for Every Season) was available to pre-order and that I can share it with you!
