Created by Katie Cotton: thank you

First of all, thanks to my friends and customers of PMS for the overwhelming response to the mega sale going on! I have had a LOT of orders and actually have everything all packed up and ready to go! PHEW! You all mean the world to me and I love that you PMS stamps!

This will be a busy busy weekend for me! I have a wedding to do makeup and hair for today (sometime tonight or tomorrow i'll post pictures on my makeup blog for anyone interested)

Then my BFF since the womb is coming to visit! YEEEEA! I'm so excited i cant stand it!

So it will be monday before i can get back into my crafting groove. :)

BUT, i do have a project for you! I didnt make it. This past monday i opened my mailbox to a WONDERFUL surprise from my dear friend, Shaela.

She sent this beautiful new coffee mug, a super cute card (using some paper makeup stamps, moody for coffee and a sentiment from caffeine trip, which by the way, shaela did the wordart).

But not only that, but she sent me a $10 gift card to starbucks! Since we've been cutting out the "frivolous" purchases, my husband deems my lattes from starbucks as one of them. haha! So this was a wonderful and welcomed treat!

So THANK YOU shaela! I challenge all of you to do something for a friend for no other reason but to make their day! I plan to pay it forward very very soon! :)

Howdy everyone! I dont have anything crafty to show you today but I do have something fun to share and some important news for SCAL users or for those that have wanted it and just not purchased it yet! :)

First, my giftie!

My dear friend Tangii got me a birthday present for my PMS birthday of 1 year! Isnt that sweet of her?! And i just got it in the mail yesterday and i am in love! It's so stinkin cute!

She had a special card back stamp made for me!

Here is a photo of what it looks like...

Isnt that super fun! It's me as a fairy with the PMS font and my name and everything!

I'm so excited to stamp it on EVERYTHING! hahaha!

This stamp was made by Cat Dubail. She has all kinds of fun designs ready for the pickin' (think of return address stamps... which i think i'm going to have her make for me!, card back stamps, many many more ideas!) or you can send her your own idea OR she will think something up for you! Endless possibilties... super fun and she gets them made and out to ya SUPER fast!

Oh, and at very reasonable prices! The stamp comes to you on a mount with handle. :)

So thats my fun gift! And now onto some SCAL news!

Who I Am!

I'm a mama to 2 awesome little dudes, Jack (6) and Gabe (3) and a wife to a wonderful man. My life is very full and I am richly blessed! I have been a professional makeup artist for a over a decade (holy crap!) but I just LOVE to stamp and scrapbook! So in February of 2009 I started my own stamp company called, what else but... Paper Makeup Stamps! I truly love everything that I do! In 2010 I started to also do a bit of photography and by the end of 2011 I was so blessed and busy with makeup and photo work, that PMS had to turn into a digi based stamp company and I had to resign from the design teams I felt so lucky to be on but I had to refocus my extra time on family. My postings on my blog may not be as frequent as they once were, but I'm still honored that you've decided to peek in!
