Retiring List and Contest Winners!

Yesterday, Stampin’ Up! announced the items that will retire. It is a whole lot of stuff. While we’re all very sad to see goodbye to these products, rest assured that the new catalog will contain a whole of of wonderfully, lovely (and fun!!) products!

Retiring products - http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?categoryID=100100&dbwsdemoid=99633This is how it works. Please note that this is a little different than what I first sent out in my newsletter yesterday.

Stampin’ Up! will continue to make stamps until May 22. After then, until May 31, stamps on the retiring list will be available only while supplies last.

Accessories and Tools – i.e. everything other than stamp sets – will be available until May 31, but only while supplies last.

Many items on the retiring list are being sold at a discount. As much as 50% off. You know what that means…. things will sell out fast. If you want something from the list, then shop early.

Here are the lists:

Print them off and check it out. Stampin’ Up! will update these lists every day by 4 pm Mountain Time. So, starting sometime this week, I’ll create a little post to stay at the top of my blog with the latest update on the availability. Check it out often.

Now, there’s the matter of the Guess Which Stamp Sets will Retire Contest. There are a lot of stamp sets retiring this year. In fact, no one guess fewer than 5 correct sets. (In past years, I’ve had a winner with just 3 correct guesses.) But this year, once again, there’s a tie for first place.

Drum Roll, please.

The winners are Donna H and Kathryn B. Both had 9 correct guesses!

Donna sent her entry in first, so she has first pick of one of my retiring stamp sets. Kathryn will also be able to choose a retiring stamp set from my stash. Congratulations, ladies!

So, now it’s time to look over the retiring list. See what you want, I mean NEED, before it retires and is gone for good.

Happy shopping!!
