Congratulations to Lori W who won my Retiring List Contest! Not only that, she got 10/10 guesses correct so wins the bonus amount – a $30 YamStamps Gift Certificate! Everyone who sent in a list also wins a consolation prize of a $5 YamStamps Gift Certificate.
This is a card that I have shared previously – but thought I would highlight it again, since it features one of the Retiring Sets. The Open Sea (wood mount or clear mount)is a great masculine set and good for travelers or sailors! It also features one of the Greetings Thinlits which is also retiring. I noticed that the Greetings Thinlits already is being marked as low inventory, so you won’t want to hesitate if you want these dies.
Here’s a link to the Retired List Excel spreadsheet format (so you can sort/edit it).
You can grab your wish list of retired products by shopping online 24/7 in Canada. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need assistance placing your order.

It was SUCH a busy weekend but a lot of fun too! I had a booth at the Kitchener Scrapfest on Friday and Saturday. Lots of people came by (thank you if you were one of them!), looked, shopped, entered the draw and did my free make and takes. This photo is Kate, who won the free draw for a Big Shot! I understand she’s got a group of friends who will help her make sure it gets plenty of use. I was just as excited as she was….because she was still around when I did the draw so I didn’t have to take it home again and ship it out to her!
Thanks also to the people who volunteered to help me out, and those who were able to make it to help me out!
Leanne, one of my wonderful members of my demonstrator group, Suzanne, who loves Stampin’ Up! and teaching, and Kat, my “non-crafty” cousin who helped with customer service and cleaning up my booth (and introduced me to the fantastic food from Arabesque).
If you would like your chance to win something…..my annual Retiring List Contest is back!
HOW TO ENTER:
Send me an email with your list of 10 stamp sets that you believe will be retiring from the Annual Catalogue (No hostess sets, no Occasions catalogue sets) by FRIDAY, APRIL 15. The person with the most correct guesses will win a $25 gift certificate from me! Get all 10 correct, and get a $30 gift certificate! In the event of a tie, I will randomly draw the winner. I reserve the right to close the contest early. If the winner is outside Canada, gift certificate may only be used for online classes, not merchandise, as per Stampin’ Up! regulations. Offer good only through me, Linda Yamamoto / YamStamps, Independent Stampin’ Up! Canada Demonstrator.
Good luck!!

Stampin’ Up! is changing things up! This is the last set of Weekly Deals that we will see (but we get extra time to take advantage of them!). After this, we will see less frequent but still fantastic Special Offers every few months. You can be sure that I will be updating you here on the YamStamps blog when those specials come around! In the meantime, please click on the image or click HERE to shop in the YamStamps Online Stampin’ Up! Canada store. If you’re going to the Kitchener Scrapfest, look for me in my booth (# 130) and you can place an order with me then….and enter my draw for a Big Shot!
My favourite pick this week was actually easy…because the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies are on this list! These are fantastic, beautiful detailed dies. I do recommend that you get the Big Shot Die Brush to use with this to make removal much easier.
If you have any questions, or need assistance placing your order, please don’t hesistate to contact me! Happy Shopping!

First of all, I apologize for the bit of radio silence last week – I was busy stressing out about my upcoming run!! I did the Around the Bay race once again this past weekend – it’s been a couple of years since I last ran it so I had a few more pre-race nerves than I expected, but I also learned to go in with few expectations other than to finish!
Here’s a group of us pre-run (look how happy we are….I didn’t smile as much until I finished LOL)
If you can’t tell, it was a little chilly that day…though running 30 km does tend to warm you up a little bit… I am glad to say that I did finish, and actually did my fastest time yet in that race (surprised me!!). I am very thankful for my friends who encouraged me, pushed me and supported me through our training! (oh, and of course to my family who put up with me moaning and groaning aftewards LOL).
Tomorrow the YamStamps newsletter will be going out to subscribers, with the latest group of paper crafting ideas and projects, and a first peek at a time sensitive contest. I’ll post about it on the blog here after that! Be sure to be subscribed to get the scoop!
