It’s here!  My order of a few pre-ordered Occasions Catalog merchandise, some necessities, some Year-End Closeout Sale items, and my new Stamparatus Bag arrived late last night. Even though we live 5 minutes from the UPS center, I guess we are last on the route!

This bag actually looks like it would make a cute stylish purse, although that wouldn’t be very handy with zippers that zip all the way down the sides! Very pretty dark blue, I would say Night of Navy, plus the pretty handles of a different color. I think the handles are Coastal Cabana, although I don’t know if that is official!  There are pockets inside to put anything you want, maybe the Small Grid Paper or the extra Stamparatus plate, maybe window sheets if you use those to get correct placement of your greeting, etc.  Maybe even some chocolate bars!

This Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag makes a great Christmas present for yourself!  Or hand it to your husband and tell him this is what he is giving you for Christmas!  And if you don’t already own the Stamparatus, be sure to get that!  You will love using it, especially in certain cardmaking situations!!

Stampin’ Up! recommends ordering by today for Christmas arrival. Depending on where you live, you might be able to fudge on that a little if you know how long your orders take to get to you. Or there is expedited shipping you can choose on your account (like 2nd Day Air for an EXTRA $20 shipping…..but so worth it sometimes! Don’t ask me how I know!). Or just make a card and say a gift is coming!  There’s always a way!
