How was your Christmas?  Ready for New Year's and a party???  Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has a great stamp for stamp of the week -- and I used it for party invitations to our Neighborhood New Year's party.  Our HOA has a New Year's party every year - mostly people my age - trying to stay away until 12:00!!!  We have good clean fun and eat too much!

So here is the Stamp of the Week - called Snow Skating - such a cute image - just go to Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built and she has a special code there and then go to Repeat Impressions and put that code into the special order instructions blank -- I'm going to use him on a Valentine card -- which I'll post in a few days.

and the inside is also a Repeat Impressions stamp, called Invitation.
