The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies, so maybe that's why two songs from that movie have been running through my head lately...
"So long, farewell, Auf Weidersehen, goodbye"
"These are a few of my favorite things!"
Sadly, the time has come to say goodbye to some of the awesome products in the Stampin' Up catalog. Before they are gone for good, I thought I would share a few of my favorites. Tomorrow (May 31) is the last day to order, so if you would like me to order anything for you, let me know today! If you place an order at my online store, don't forget to use the code found on the right sidebar of my this page.
Here are a few of my retiring favorites:
Punches
Oh my, I am sad to see so many punches go! There are 25 punches on the retiring list! Of course, I will still keep and use mine, but I wish they were still available for stamping newcomers. I'll highlight just a few of the ones I use repeatedly.
This set of three small punches is at the top of my "most used" list. I love to add stars, flowers, and hearts to all kinds of projects.

The scallop punches, oval punches, and 2 1/2" circle punches will also be greatly missed. The new catalog has a set of framelits for circles, ovals, and scallops, but I find it much more convenient to use punches, especially if I need a lot of shapes in a hurry. For example, last Sunday I needed to make 15 badges for the nursery children at church and I had less than five minutes, the The 2 1/2" circle punch came to the rescue! It took me less than a minute to punch out 13 circles. I definitely recommend snatching that punch before it is gone!
