Well… before I get to that, you probably have heard, the SU list is here.  That’s how I was able to chose the winner.  ALL the entries I received were on the retired list, so competition was FIERCE.  So, without further adieu…. ANNE is the winner with “Season of Joy”.  Congrats to Anne, and thanks, everyone, for playing.  Anne will get the ribbon and brad pack from SAB!! (YAY!!)

And, here is the Stampin’ UP retired list:  Retired_List_stamps-LG-Page

A special thanks goes to Dawn Olchefske for creating the list in a larger and darker type…  Boy, my eyes are pretty good, but I was having a hard time reading the original list…

So, here are the details about the retiring lists:

• Over 300 stamp sets are retiring (including all HOSTESS sets)
• You can purchase any retiring set THROUGH May 31, 2012.  After that, you will be left to scouring ebay and other places for your long lost loves… and risk having to pay oh so much extra….
• You can order your favorite retiring sets through me personally (by call or email) or you can check out my ONLINE STORE.  And while you are there, you might want to check out the Clearance Rack for other items you might want to have WITH  your retiring set.  There are things up to 60% off.  And over 50 new products were just items.  Clearance Rack items can only be ordered through my online store and are available while supplies last… so (as Isaac would say…hurry hurry…)  There are TONS of punches available (they’re the older design, but are current punches…)  A customer recently bought punch that was $16.95 for only $7!!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR APRIL 25!  The Retired Accessories and Décor Elements Lists come out on April 25, 2012.  These items are only available while supplies last. Also… this is the end of the road for the Décor Elements line…. SU! will no longer be offering these decals so be sure to get what you like…and get it soon as they are sure to run out quickly!
