Where has this year gone??? I just today switched my calendar to August and thought OMG its August!

There are so many things I need to tell you this month, because as you know its the end of the current annual catalog and Season Expression catalog. So let me start there. Your current catalog says it ended July 301st. But it didn't. It has been extended through August 31st to end the same time as the Season Expression 2 catalog! Why is this important? Well because starting September 1st you will not have two catalogs any more. We will now have the big catalog that comes out tri-annually!! This means 3 times a year you will receive a new big mama catalog from me. This also means that the current catalog is while supplies last. So if you want something don't wait. It might sell out before the months is over and we won't be getting more in.

You can shop the current catalogs on my website at www.LoriKutsch.ctmh.com. There are so many great things available you won't want to miss out.

The August 2018 Stamp of the Month is called For the Love of Crafting

You can get this whole stamp set for just $5.00 with any $50.00 order. This stamp set retails for $17.95 and is only available at he discounted price in August.

Going...Going...Gone...

With the new catalog comes new colors!!! I can't tell you what those are just yet, but I can tell you what colors are going away to make room for them. If you do not have these ink pads, re-inkers or cardstocks you will want to hurry and order them before they are gone. Every year the re-inkers sell out and people are sad they did not get theirs.

Crystal Blue
Poppy
Pacifica
Tangerine
Blossom
Cranberry
Juniper
Flaxen
Sorbet
Nutmeg

and of course the 2017-2018 color of the year - Bashful
