I hope y’all had a wonderful Easter weekend filled with family, good food, and maybe a little sunshine. I took the weekend off myself, and I have to say… it was so nice to slow down for a minute. Between time with family and just enjoying a quieter pace, it was a sweet little reset—and honestly, sometimes stepping away from the craft table is exactly what we need to come back feeling inspired again.

So, no creative project to share this week—but I do have a little bit of news you won’t want to miss!

First up, this is the last week to sign up for the upcoming Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin, and it is a good one! This kit is perfect for creating those hard-to-make masculine cards, with a relaxed, outdoorsy feel that works for so many occasions. If you’ve been looking for something a little different to add to your craft stash, this is it!

And speaking of can’t-miss items…Stampin’ Up! has added even more goodies to the Last Chance Products category, and there are some really great deals in there right now. If you’ve had your eye on anything, this is the time to grab it! These items are only available while supplies last, and some are already in very limited quantities—so don’t wait too long to go pick out your favorites.

I’ll be back soon with something fun from the craft table… but in the meantime, happy shopping and happy crafting!
