Thursdays thoughts...

All is set for the weekend and as always I am working ahead of my self , most of my Sugar Nellie time is spent on thinking about our new artist, I will tell you that her name is Krista and after seeing a picture of her recently she surprised my by being so young, she is a beautiful young woman with two lovely children , she will go far with her talent for art. keep watching this space all will be revealed soon.

We are keep tight lipped about her for the time being as we have another couple of stamp release to do before we release Simply Sassy on the world of stampers. These are not seasonal and we do not have a  date for release but the test plate has gone to the factory and the DT will get the first stamps within the next 2 weeks I hope, time to play and they we will show you what's been going on behind the doors at the House of Sugar.

Everyone who has had a peek loves them and I am defiantly sure you will too.:)

For a long time now you have been asking for more Country Cousins, ask and you will received, if its within our power of course LOL, so September, OMG can you believe its the end of the summer? Will bring 8 new Country Cousins, 4 will be Christmas and 4 non seasonal stamps, all girls.

September, WOW where did the summer go, its nice out today and maybe, fingers crossed that harvest will finish this week. Katie has returned to College and Debbie is still working in NY, taking a trip to Florida with friends before returning to Scotland in the next couple of weeks. Oh to be young again! No travel for me this year so far, I have only been as far as Glasgow! OOpps I forgot NY but that was in January, so long ago its been forgotten and did I tell you how cold it was burrrrrr last winter was wicked here in Scotland but it did also play nasty elsewhere. Never mind that, the sun is shining today and hopefully winter is a few months away.

How are you all doing with your Sugar Bowl challenges, now that the summer holidays are over and we get back into crafting I would love to see you take part in our very own challenge blog. Gayle is keeping her eyes open for new sweeties and I expect loyalty will play a big part in her choice. It's just a shame everyone can't be "promoted" but things constantly change and you have to be persistent to get anywhere you want to be. So just as a treat I have loaded up a new tag, you can tell someone is having fun making up tags for us, these are just great and we are grateful for these as I cant make them!

Just save this picture and put it on your blog is you do play in the Sugar Bowl. Yes that is a new stamp, she is so cute I know she's going to be popular, one of the Christmas range but because we took the holly away you can use her all year round. Yes I do think of little things like that when offered art work, I too am a thrifty crafter and you need to pick and choose your stamps carefully these days, you as the customer have so much choice out there that we at Sugar Nellie have taken the road less traveled, quality over quantity.

Friday tomorrow and as we did not do a candy give away this week we will give it all away tomorrow, look back for a chance to win the 5 new Christmas stamps featured in this weekend hop.

take care
