Yeah, the new Close to my Heart Spring/Summer 2012 catalog is live! OMG! I love all of the papers in the catalog. I think the papers in this catalog are my favorite so far.

Happy New Year - Stamps for Sale
Hello,
I know it has been a very long time since I have updated my blog. I would love to say, I promise to do better, but that promise may be broken. We have moved from VA to OK and we are mostly settled. Our new house is significantly smaller: 4000 sq. ft. to 2300 sq ft, so trying to fit everything has been quite the challenge. I am giving myself the month of January to get "moved" in and organized. Part of that organization is cleaning out the scrap room. I have found 62 stamp sets that I am willing to part with.
A stamps - $5.00
B stamps - $7.00
C stamps - $9.00
D stamps - $11.00
shipping $2.00 for 1 or 2 more than 3 - I will ship in a flat rate box, shipping will depend on how big the box needs to be.
If you would to see a picture of any of the stamps please email me directly at etstong@yahoo.com.
