A Sneak Peek … and a Kitchen News Update
The latest news I have for you about the new Kitchen Sink store remodel … keep your eyes peeled for a change sometime over the weekend.
And while we so patiently wait …. here is another Sneak Peek with a bit of a hint … this set goes very well with another KSS set.
Happy Stamping!
“Waiting for a New Remodel Kitchen Sink Stamps” Give Away”
Here is how you can play the, “Waiting for a New Remodel Kitchen Sink Stamps” Give Away”:
On the first day (and open to play for one day only) when the new KSS start up page [www.kitchensinkstamps.com] is visible (live)… leave a comment back HERE on this blog [In the Sink News] on this sticky post …saying, “I see it”!
At the end of “this day”, I will pick one number at random from all the comments left and the winner will get one of the new sets from Jan. 12th’s new release. To see which new set, take a look at Sneak Peek #1 – HERE.
Coming in 2010… and the begining of Sneak Peeks!
You may have noticed the “construction cones” and my mention that Kitchen Sink will be/is in the process of a wonderful Kitchen Remodel for 2010.
It is true…. changes are a coming, but like with most remodels, it always seems to take longer than expected… and KSS’s Kitchen Remodel is no exception. What do ya do? Smile, and keep stamping until the job is done.
So, while we wait (thank you all for your patience) …. I thought of two things we could do to help pass the time:
#1) I could fill you in on just a few of the cool things that will be coming to Kitchen Sink Stamps in the next few weeks….. and time to start it off with a sneak peek too (see further done below)!
and…
#2) How about a Give Away while we wait for #1 to take place! LOL!
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Besides a new stamp release on Tuesday, Jan. 12th – with 4 new stamp sets…. and back by popular demand, 1 old stamp set coming out of retirement….
… the Kitchen Sink Store is going from a cozy “kitchenette”… to a fully loaded Kitchen (YaHoo!!!) …. but without losing any of the personal care that you have grown to expect from Kitchen Sink Stamps.
I have been so excited about this new store… I just have to share a few things that you can keep an eye out for…. things like:
• Customer reward program
• Free Shipping automatically figured in at the time of check out (YaHOOOO!)
• Gift Certificate Coupon Codes for direct shopping…. this will also be good for all the KS Crew Challenge winners!
… and these are just a few of the cool things coming.
Plus, coming in the following months…. Kitchen Sink will have its own forum where you can ask questions, chat, upload your KS Creations to a public gallery for all us to “oooo” and “ahhhh” over, plus find everything from color recipes, tutorials, Project of the Month to the KS Crew Challenges…. all in one spot.
I do hope you are as excited as I am! 
Now, any day this week, we should see a change at www.kitchensinkstamps.com
This first change will not effect the current KS Store, (which at this time can still be used to place orders). This change will not effect the KS Crew Challenge Blog, the KS Idea Gallery or my blog here, In the Sink News.
So, while we all wait for this “transfer” from the old to the new to be complete… I thought it could be fun to have a give away!
Here is how you can play the, “Waiting for a New Remoled Kitchen Sink Stamps – Give Away”. On the first day (and open to play for one day only) when the new KSS start up page [www.kitchensinkstamps.com] is visible (live)… leave a comment back HERE on my/this blog [In the Sink News] …saying, “I see it”!
“This day of change” could be any day this week…. Wow, that phrase brings back memories of when my children were born … it could be any day now! LOL
At the end of “this day”, I will pick one number at random from all the comments left on a Sticky post left at the top of this blog (HERE) and the winner will get one of the new sets from Jan. 12th’s new release.
Which new stamp set ? The stamp set to THIS SNEAK PEEK!
Got any idea what it could be?
In the meantime… keep a sharp eye out… for a change with the KSS’s web site… or for a new sneak peek while we continue to wait!
I truly look forward to spending 2010 multi step stamping with you!
Anticipation… is making me wait!
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
So many exciting things for the New Year – 2010… and patience was not in any of my Christmas presents this year! LOL! I promise to have more of an update of what is coming to Kitchen Sink Stamps, later today.
First things first…
A New Year and a new month… means a brand new KS Crew Challenge.
Our host this month is KS Crew Member, Lisa. She will have you in stitches this month with KS Crew Challenge #21…
For Lisa’s challenge, I created this card using two types of stitching: real and faux. I will admit, this is the first time I used mt sewing machine (I think?) on a card… and it was totally fun!!!! I am going to have to find a place to keep my sewing machine out for some quick stitching… and who knows… some of that long-awaited mending might get done too! LOL!
Thanks so much Lisa for this fun challenge… I loved getting to try something new!… (for me that is!)
