Ta-Da! Here is my "first bound copy" of the second to last regular issue of Simple Scrapbooks magazine, and it's destined to become a collector's item. So as soon as you see it on your local newsstand or at your LSS, stock up! You just may be able to snag a good price on eBay. And me? I've been so depressed that I stopped waxing my upper lip. Can you tell at all? What care I for personal hygiene when I have weightier matters on my mind? :-) But don't worry, I HAVE been showering fairly regularly.
In other news, I have WINNERS from last week's contest! Thanks for all your kind words, great advice, and helpful suggestions. I shall certainly be passing them on! The winners are: kribss and laurie in mpls. (They were chosen by the highly random method of me calling Carolyn Jolley and asking her to select two random numbers between 1 and 101. So kribss and laurie in mpls, you have Carolyn to thank for your bounty!) Winners, email your addresses to comments@simplescrapbooksmag.com and your wishes shall be granted.
Sorry to leave ya'll hanging all week long. I'm still catching up from last week's tradeshow adventures in sunny Anaheim, so check back in for a few fun highlights from CHA later this week.
Happy February!
Ang

Angie,
You know what would take the sting out of not having Simple Scrapbooks magazine around...if you still kept up this blog.
Whaddaya say? :)

I so wanted that t-shirt ( but didn't dare put my name in) since I never got mine from last year's show... but congrats to the winners! A great keepsake for sure. Looking very forward to seeing this issue. :)
Now get waxin'! ;p

Now I'm really bummed - I still can't find the LAST issue on the shelves here in Australia, no matter how many different shops I stalk, and the next one is out already... maybe I can stockpile them until the end, and just read little bits at a time to drag them out all year?! ~lol~

Congrats to the winners of the t-shirts! Wear them proudly ladies!
I'll be looking for my copy in the mail.
I agree with Jody - could we keep this blog and the Simple Studio blog?

Angie, you're a nut! I saw Laine's pic with her fake 'stache and I'm thinking how much I'm going to miss the fun I've come to associate with you folks at Simple.
Can't wait to see the March/April issue... so sad to think it's almost over. :(

I am still in shock that my FAVORITE scrapbooking magazine is going away!! When I was a new, struggling scrapbooker, it was SS that led the way to a style of scrapbooking that is meaningful to me. Please make sure Cathy Z is still a part of CK or whatever new endeavors replace the wonderful approach and philosophy of SS!!!

Gosh, your post made me laugh--I missed the 'stash when I first looked at the photo!
