BitterSweet Moment!


Can you believe another six months has come and is almost gone?  2012 has just flown by and soon we will be bringing in a new year!  Unbelievable!

Anyway…what this means for us here at Stamptacular is that we will be saying goodbye to some FABULOUSLY talented “family” members and introducing several more!  This is always a bitter sweet moment for me!

Unfortunately, we will be saying goodbye to Elise, Heleen and Julie!  It has been such a pleasure to share their beautiful creations with all our participants week after week and they will each truly be missed! 

At the same time…I would like to introduce all of our new members that will be showcasing their work with us at Stamptacular for the next six months!  We are extremely excited to have them on board and I’m sure they will be a fantastic addition to our “family” and will definitely INSPIRE all our participants/followers each week.

Please feel free to take a peak at their blogs and get a feel for the talent they have!  They are all AMAZING!


Welcome aboard ladies!  We are all super excited to get to know you!

Hugs,
Priscilla
