Fall Supplement -- Here's an appetizer to whet your appetite for more

Ornamental Joy is a gorgeous stamp in The Angel Company's(tm) Fall Supplement. Check out the entire Supplement here.

Contact me at Suse A Doodle @ gmail.com (remove the spaces) for more information or to place an order. I don't use the company online ordering because at this time, it doesn't allow you to choose your FREE Gift With Purchase Stamps that you earn with every qualifying purchase -- for you to get those, you need to order directly from an Angel -- like me :-)

Hope you are having a blessed autumn!

CELEBRATE in October!

October is a busy time at The Angel Company(tm) this year. There are lots of special deals for you to take advantage of.

First, it is Celebration! That means Double Rewards for you! Hostess Rewards and Customer Rewards are twice as nice when they are doubled! For more information click on "Celebration" up above. You will probably need to click on the picture to make it show up at full size for easier reading. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me and I'll send a chart right back to you that lists the rewards at the various levels.

We also have a Crazy For Color paper deal going on right now. There are three (3) Kaleidoscope paper sets in the package plus a Limited Edition stamp set. This set is available ONLY in this Crazy For Color Kit, until October 31. It will not appear in a future catalogue. Be sure to get your set NOW before it is too late.

Next is the Stamp Of The Month. This awesome little set is too cute for words! TAC-2717, Days Like This, can be yours for for a small cost with a qualifying purchase. It is available only in October and will never appear in a catalogue, either! You won't want to miss this opportunity.

The Angel Company(tm) is celebrating 10 years this year. To celebrate, each month a retired Vintage Set is being brought back. In October, TAC-006, Mini Bold Posey, is making a return. It is available for a small cost with a qualifying purchase. Don't let this one get away.

Would you believe it, but that's not all! The Fall Supplement just came out! Chock full of Autumn and Holiday stamps sets, you'll want to check it out. These stamps sets are sure to spark your creative impulse.

Last, we have GRAB BAGS available. These collections of retired and current stamps are so much fun! Every TACBag I've received in the past has been a fabulous assortment of stamps; I love these things! (I think you will too.) Bags come with one 8x10" sheet of Creative Cling, the mounting foam. Usually a TACBag includes far too many stamps to fit on that one sheet, though. It is a super deal at $15.95 per bag. Available only while supplies last -- and probably not beyond October 31st. Order your TACBag TODAY!

Contact me at SuseADoodle @ gmail . com (remove spaces) to find out more or to place an order.

FAIR TRADE CHOCOLATE EVENT

Who doesn't like chocolate? There are very few people who don't. (They were probably given chocolate as a kid but were told it was calves' liver or something like that.)

Did you know that about half of the world's chocolate is produced with slave labor? For more information, visit http://www.stopthetraffik.org/ .

If you like to cook and would like to win a goodie bag of Traffik-Free Chocolate, stop over here: http://rkhooks.net/2007/09/03/stop-the-traffik-chocolate-event/

If you participate, stop back here.

In the comments section leave your name and the url to your blog post that you use to enter r k hooks' event, using Traffik-Free Chocolate.

I'll be posting this info about the event at each of my blogs. Feel free to leave your comment and link at each one. (One comment entry per blog please, though.) From all of the comments posted, there will be a random drawing and I'll send out a chocolate-related thank you to three winners.

DREAM! LIVE! LOVE! Share your talents with us all -- PLEASE!

I know, this is the blog I had finally decided I would try to devote to making Cards and other Rubber Stamped projects. Well, this post is a call to use your gifts, no matter how small you may think they are.

Kay, at Loop de Loops found this video at another blog. She posted it at her blog. While I am not a techno-dummy, I just haven't bothered to learn how to do some of the technical stuff with my blogs yet. So, I decided to send you on over to have a little visit with Kay. She's cool. She's got a "Nice Matters Award" and doesn't bite anyone. LOL And she has a great playlist of music that plays on this page when you open it. (To hear the video properly, you'll want to pause her player ...)

http://loopdeloops.blogspot.com/2007/09/dreams-can-come-true.html

Go on over there. If you want, let her know "SuseADoodle" sent you -- but you don't have to do that. She welcomes everyone quite warmly.

Go. Now. Before you read any more here, git!

Just don't forget to come back ...






















Okay, wasn't that well worth the trek over to Loop de Loops in La La Land?

This guy is becoming a kind of folk hero. I'm happy for him. And for us -- we've gained another great voice to bless us.


What, then, does opera have to do with rubber stamping or making anything?

Not a whole lot.

But, he had a dream. He had a gift and a talent but wasn't sure he did. He took a chance and he shared his love, his dream, his talent and gift. We are all made better by it.

Never underestimate your own dreams, talents and gifts. What is small today, nurtured and pursued can grow into something bigger. Even so, share what you have now -- be a hero to one today. Send them a "Day Brightener" card you've made or a short note or a magnet for the fridge that says "I Love You" (maybe not with words but with the thought behind it that got you to send it).

Live while you are Alive.
Love with all your heart and soul.
Dream. Believe. Embrace. Follow. Share.

Oh, please do share your gifts and talents with us all. Enlarge our world. Make us all better by having you in our lives and world.
