Gypsey Rose Paperie Update

this is a copy paste from the site. And ny prayers are going out to Nikki and the crew!

November 11th, 2008

The Gypsy Rose family has experienced extreme personal tragedy in the last month and will not be releasing another kit.

While we are not prepared to offer a detailed explanation at this time, we recognize that outstanding orders need to be acknowledged.

All outstanding orders have been processed, packaged and are ready for shipment as of today, Tuesday, November 11th, 2008. While we are unable to refund shipping costs, we have included additional items in each package to help compensate for delayed shipping times.

Today is a postal holiday in the United States, so these packages will be processed by USPS tomorrow. All customers will receive an email at that time with delivery confirmation numbers and tracking information.

If you have not received tracking information by Thursday, November 13th, you are welcome to send an email to info@gypsyrosepaperie.com . THIS EMAIL ADDRESS WILL NOT BE ACTIVE OR AVAILABLE UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING, so any emails sent prior to that day will not be received and will not be acknowledged.

The only emails we are responding to at this time are emails concerning orders already placed and not yet received, or orders received incomplete.

Finally, a simple note - please keep in mind that GRP design team members are not considered a part of our administration. They are in no way responsible for orders, maintaining this site, or providing information to GRP customers.

Gypsey Rose Paperie

All of the CT have been very concerned as we have not heard from the owner or her assistant since about Oct. 20. I am hoping that nothing has happened and that there is an explanation for the absence. I am hoping we will hear from Nikki or Missy some time very soon.

Free download from Gypsy Rose Paperie

This is one of the latest of the free downloads we were given from Gypsy Rose Paperie. I printed mine out on a transparency, added Krylon ink around the oval and put it over some wonderful paper I got in Old Town St. Charles, Mo. from Rock Paper Scissors. I had this wonderful frame and it is now a treasured addition to my work room! Thanks for looking.

Wishing you a Creepy, Spooky All Hallow's Eve

and don't scare those little goblins.

I am working on one of the new Timmy Holtz Grunge Board books and I promise you, it will be worth checking back for... I am mad crazy in love with this one...so much so, I don't even want to put pics in it...lol!

More goodies coming... I promise

I've been crazy busy getting my class ready for the MS crop (pics on the www.postingfromparadise.blogspot.com blog). And trying to pack for the upcoming Hilltop Memories Creep Over Retreat (www.hilltopmemories.com).

But, I did do my reveal for this Friday for Gypsy Rose Paperier. I know that Nikki Rose, the owner, has been busy too packing the kits to ship! If she doesn't get the upload up, I'll post it here. I had a blast with this one...but then I do with every one of the free downloads we've had so far. I seem to be decorating my house with these yummy goodies.

Time to watch the Rays...and you should see the oh so snazzy tee my honey brought home for me today...maybe a pic later?

Have a good one and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSS

So they had holiday music playing in the craft store...

and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I know...I know, I am rushing the season. But, if I had my way, we'd celebrate the holidays about 50% of the year. So, you'll just have to bear with me...I'm old, ok? lol

Actually, a friend of mine has a Christmas tree that is quilted, four sided and stuffed. It is darling but I don't have a lot of fabric and, even if I did, I don't sew! This is my version of the her quilted table topper. I free sketched half a tree onto a piece of 8.5x11 chipboard. I made sure that, at it's widest, it was only 6 inches. Using the first as a template, I traced and cut 3 more. After taping them together, I covered them with papers, cut outs from other papers (see the packages at the bottom and the holly leaves, and glitter glued wherever the mood stuck me. The hanging "ornaments" on the bottom branches are, of course, wine glass charms. Now, you know I had to work wine in here some how, didn't you? I'm thinking that small photos might be fun to put on the 'branches' of holidays past?

I had such fun making this. If you would like dimensions or paper names, please drop me an e-mail at eeickmeier@hotmail.com. Thanks for taking a look/see!

Returning you now to your regularly scheduled October!

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

I am in that Halloween spirit! (pardon the pun) and played with this cigar box and a black raven I was drawn to at Mike's. I had him perched on the corner of my lap top but he wasn't very happy there. I was forced to cerate a home for him...maybe he will shut up now. What did you say, Mr. Raven? "Nevermore?" Yikes!

Papers by My Minds Eye, Raven from Mikes, spider web die cut designer unknown (got it at the Hilltop Creep Over last year), spider from a party store, bling swirl from Kaiser Craft, key lock, source unknown, paint by C. Helsmith (released at CHA Summer O8, rub ons by BG, LUxe and 7 Gypsies.
