About Me

Midway, NC, United States
I retired from Bali Bras, Sara Lee Intimates. Married in Oct 1976. I love meeting new people so hope to hear from you. Drop me a line. I've been doing crafts of all kinds since I was a kid. I loved making things and especially things that are recycled. I had never stamped until 2001 when I went to a stamp class while on vacation. We went to a local store to buy the stamps we had used. OUCH. When we got home I saw a Stampin Up catalog and realized how much money I could save with their stamps and best part as they are sets that go together which makes for easy card making. After doing some thinking I decided I should sign up as a demo and see what happens. I didn't know the first thing about stamping and still learning. Retired from Sara Lee Intimates in Feb 2001. I was in sales after many years, since age 18, as an office person, secretary, office assistant, etc. I am out of Stamping Up since Spring 2017 but still have lots of supplies!!!! These days I'm back to quilting and having a great time.

Would you like a FREE card in the mail? Guess which set I'm sad to see leave.

Well I've just taken a few minutes to update my current and outgoing catalog and mark all the retired stamps. Still haven't marked the retiring accessories but more concerned with stamps.

Hope you have marked yours as you have til June 30th to get retiring stamp sets and then they will be gone. I'm placing an order later this week if you need something or go to www.joanlowder.stampinup.net
to place an order.

So as you mark your book have you noticed stamp sets that you never noticed before? Are you losing a lot of sets that you are crying over?

I've marked 3 sets that are retiring that I'm very unhappy to see them go.
Be sure to check out clues for the others.







  • The first one makes me so sad to see it leave.



  • It's uplifting to the receiver.



  • It offers a heartfelt greeting



  • 4 pc set



  • one inking gets the look of shades of color



I'll send a card to the first 5 people leaving the correct set name. Be sure to leave your email address or check back to see if you are a winner. Good luck. Deadline extended to Friday, 6/25/10.

Come back later as I'll be asking you to guess a different one.

By the way, I've thrilled that "Lovely as a Tree" is not retiring. I love this stamp set as it has so many uses. It was one of the first sets I ever bought when I became a demo in 8/2001.

Have any questions, just drop me an email, jlowder1@bellsouth.net




You have til 6/30 to order anything you'll want in your stash. http://www.joanlowder.stampinup.net/

"Close as a Memory" was the name of the set.

My Blog

May, 2009 when I started the blog and it's still a learning experience even in 2017.

If you are ever looking for a retired stamp set, ask me, I might have it and let it go.

As a follower you'll get emails when I post things which I tend to do in batches, once or twice a month once I get back on schedule.

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate all comments.
