Hello...

I hope you had a safe Independance Day, yesterday. We are pretty fortunate that we hear very few, if any, fireworks here. People gather at Bass Lake for a large display. This year, I think one really looked like a cat or a fuzzy dog....

I rely on a local photographer to enjoy the show! I stay home with my critters (which includes a foster puppy this year) and enjoy the photos taken by professionals the next day. The mosquitos love me, but I don't love them! 

You may have seen in last month's news that we have the dates for Stamp Escape 2026. Click here for the sign-up form.Stamp Escape 2020 Registration  

You can call 559-642-6611, and give us a credit card by phone, or mail a check with your registration form. We are currently working on confirming our teachers and will let you know when we have them onboard. The dates are April 17-19. 2026. You can make arrangements for accommodations at The Pines now. We look forward to seeing you then!

If you can't wait until next year to visit, Julie Kelly will be teaching at the store September 27 and 28, 2025. She will be teaching two different classes morning and afternoon. The same two classes will be taught each day...however we flip their time so, if you are coming from out of the area, you can take one class Saturday afternoon and the other class Sunday morning. We will bring you up to date on Stamp Escape and Julie's classes when we have more information. 

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Graphic 45 releases. We ordered Halloween and Christmas. Both collections look great. We have been so pleased with their recent releases that we can't wait for these next collections. Keep an eye on your emails for news of their arrival. 

If you are in the area, stop by to say Hi! We were very happy to see a friend the other day, whom we have not seen since before covid! What a nice surprise that was!

See you soon,
