Inky Bee Stampers

I’m running a bit behind schedule (due to some unforeseen circumstances) and so I don’t have a project to share with you today…my apologies. I am working on pulling retiring stamp sets to make room for all of the new goodies from the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and my craft space is in complete disarray. As I am writing this I am surrounded by boxes! The good news is that my pre-order arrived late Thursday afternoon so I will have projects for you beginning on Monday featuring upcoming, new products! Yay!

Wishing you all a great weekend!
