Well, we made it through the change-over to the new catalog, our Fall/Winter Collection 2007!  That’s always such an exciting, but dizzying time around here!  Wouldn’t you know I was even off-island the day that tall stack of boxes arrived, but thank goodness they were still intact on my porch when I got home that night, lol!  Then there were new labels to type up and fresh indexes to create, and Mom & Dad helped stuff books & apply stickers and organize ’em alphabetically by "South" and "North" (Island) so I’d be all ready for pickup day.

Ah, pickup day!  July 1!  One of my favorite days of the entire Stampin’ Up!(r) year!  Thank you to those of you who came to pick up your new books at one of my designated distribution places yesterday, and also to those who picked up catties as a favor for your friends!  What a thrill it is to be the conveyer of such fun!  🙂

Btw, I forgot to remind a bunch of you to put your names on the label on the back of your catalog – and don’t forget to bring it with you whenever we get together!

Looking forward – now it’s full steam ahead this week to polish up plans for my annual Hostess Appreciation Party & Auction on Friday.  I delivered invitations along with catalogs yesterday to those of you I saw, and the rest will go into the mail today.  And to assure your invitation to NEXT year’s big shindig, well, you know what you have to do!  😉
