ELIZABETH CRAFT PEEL OFFS AND SHIMMER IS HERE

The Elizabeth Craft Peel Offs and Shimmer paper arrived today, it is marked and those that put in orders they are bagged. A few items did not come in so if it is not in your bag, we didn't receive it. There are so many peel offs to choose from you might want to get to the store and check them out. Also, if you placed an order, put a number down with no G, S, or B on the number (stands for Gold, Silver or Black) Gold was put in your bag--so if you want to change that is OK also.

I will see you all next week, I'm off to see my daughter for a few days. Have a great weekend.
