On Sunday we drove 2 hours East to Fall Creek Falls with the Mannella's. Again - it was beautiful and we had a great time (all of us trying to keep up with Jared. It was nice to have some company on the back of the trail). Here is a photo I snapped of Rich and his and Ruth's eldest. A little blurry but I still thought it was sweet:
And. . . for those of you waiting for a May preview here is a little one:
This is the new JBS rubber stamp in the May kit!!! You know I have to incorporate journaling somehow so I took my favorite bird image from the new rub-ons and added the banner. I'm so excited to play with this one!
I also wanted to tell you about a local event going on this coming weekend in the Carthage area. I was looking for an opportunity to donate tons of great product I had been given over the year for book projects, etc. I connected with Jane at my yard sale and found out she was putting on a "Crop and Shop for a Cause" to benefit Habitat for Humanity (one of my very favorite charities). So, she is coming by today to pick up two large boxes from me of brand new products (companies have been so generous to me, but even over the course of a year, I can't use everything!!! AND, many times I buy it because I'm impatient and then find it in the mail the next day!! ). It is at the Carthage United Methodist Church this Fri. April 27 and Sat. April 28. You can contact Jane at turner4062@bellsouth.net for more info.
And, because I am in a generous mood, I have 3 boxes of several new or gently used rubber stamps going to random posts here. I will check the blog on Friday morn. and have Noah help me choose three winners. So post away!! (I would add a photo here but apparently blogger only lets you post 3 pics in one post)!

Holy BATMAN! I love recycling and would love some USED stamps for my collection! I can't wait to see the glorious items in next month's kit! I wished I could go to your yards sales. Did I say I love recycling?

I would soooo love to win some of your goodies; as i have a crop coming up which will benefit a charity that i founded which raises money for orphanages in the country we adopted my son from.....and i would offer them up in a silent auction, or raffle them off.....so my fingers are crossed. thanks so much

I received my first kit in April and I love it. Can't wait for another one.
Sandi D
WOW Jenni! Love the new banner. I can hardly wait to play with this one too. Your line is quickly becoming the rage about town. One of the message boards that I visit is going to have your line available soon, and everyone is clammoring to get their hands on it. I love the fact that I already have some of it and they don't. LOL! Anyway, kudos to you for great products and great customer service. Ruth is fantastic to work with. I can hardly wait for May 1st!
Please enter me in the stamp drawing! I so love getting your kits! Thanks!

Well I too wish there was more of a glimpse of what's to come, I got your Mar. kit & add on & I just loved the little blue sequin butterflies and even emailed you to find out if I could purchase more. I even mentioned that I would be interested to know if they were available in pink & the person who replied to me told me that pink ones would be available in the May kit, so I am really excited to see the whole kit. Love your stuff, love your style!
Brenda Magliacane
we love you from Dorothy in Iowa
So very generous of you, Jenni! Thanks for the opportunity to fancy some stamps!! And, love the sneak peak for May - woo hoo!!
love all of your products. can't wait to get to play with some of them!
Yay! I love givaways! Count me in...and I just got my April kit! I was lucky enough to nab one of the extras and I love it! Can't wait to play.
Beth Costello
I am a USMC wife here in tiny Okinawa Japan that loves to read your blog!! Your inspire me !!!
I just ordered some stuff from your "store" and I can't wait for it to come! You have some neat ideas and I love that you're always coming up with something new! Thanks for the inspiration!
:)
LOL.... 253 comments!!! You should have giveaways more often
I am looking forward to the bird stamp too---I'll be using it on pages about my mother who adored birds and worked very hard to learn to fly as a child. She always said she had achieved "good hang time" in jumping off the mailbox!! As a grown up she actually did teach a couple of baby birds how to fly--unbelievable but true--I watched her do it. Please do enter me into the rubber stamp drawing too--love stamps out here in Tacoma. Wish we lived closer--those crops sound like fun!! Karen Greenfield
Good luck raising money! Your blog is awesome thanks for the candy!
Love, love, love the new stamp and all the JBS line. It really is lovely and so creative. Although I live in Tennessee I was still a little too far away for the yard sale or the crop! Noah, pick me!
Pam Carothers

Love the new stamp and wish I could be there too! Although I'm not too terribly far!
And I'd love to have a chance on your stamps!
Habitat for Humanity was my thing in collrgr. There is nothing I didn't like about that organization. You make me want to move to TN!
very cool bird/banner stamp by rhe way.
Jennifer Laughlin
Stamps are always good! Really enjoying the kits as well. Can't wait for the next one.
I totally need to join your monthly kit club. I drool over the kits every time I read your blog! I never win anything from a blog drawing, so here goes nothing! Thanks for being so generous.
Awesome! That is so very generous!
I always love random drawings! Especially if I am the one randomly picked!
Jennie Jensen
i just found your blog today! i went to CKU-Detroit last weekend, and even though I live in the Detroit area, I went with some new friends to a few LSS. I felt like such a lucky girl when I found your stuff! I had heard your name a few times before, but didn't really know about you or your style. But I started picking out a bunch of papers and tags and "stuff" that I loved, and it turns out that 98% of them were yours! When I checked out, the store owner told me that they have only recently been available in stores. I felt like I had found the jackpot, because your styles were totally MY styles, too. So glad to have discovered a new source of inspiration! I can't wait to check out more of it! Thank you!
Hoping to be chosen, and wishing I lived closer to the charity event!
I'll throw my name in!
I love the stamp! so cute :)
Wow, so generous...can't wait to see the full kit for May!
Wiii! A give-away! Now I have to de-lurk :)))
Wish I could come to the garage sale too! Looking forward to seeing the new JBS stuff for May--sounds exciting!
M! Me! Me! :-)
Susan Antonelli
Hope that I am one of the lucky ones! I am having a crop at our local hospital on June 30, 2007 and the money that we raise is going to Women's Health. It would be great to have some of your things as door prizes!!!
Sharon
I hate to say this, but I NEVER win anything, but it doesn't stop me from trying!!

This is the third time I have tired to post and first I went to #241 which I should have been yesterday, never showed up.... then in the pm looked never saw my post and today I have looked again although quickly through all 293 post and still don't see mine... And I am a Googgle blogger... So I really don't expect to work this time either.... BOOOO HOOOO more tears... Story of my life right now... But I feel better getting it off my adhesive...

I never been limited on my pictures? I just click the button add as many pics as it allows and then click it again and add more. My blog has tons of pics. I have never been limited. I upgraded for free though to blogger beta..do you have that version. It's free but has more features.
Awesome stamp! Love the birds. Can't wait to see the rest of the May kit.
why do there have to be so many people that read dear Jenni's blog?! Don't you people know I am trying to score some goods here!!! hehehe
I just found your blog and will now be visiting on a regular basis.
I love your stamps!! Count me in.
Heidi Stork
Wish I lived a bit closer.
I would love to come to one of your yard sales.

Glad that your kits sell out so fast. Sorry that I can never time it right to order just one!
Kate B.
Oh how fun! Love that stamp!
Jenni-
I love your kits, but, could you take it easy on the birds? Enough
birds! :)
I am so happy I discovered your blog in time for a give-away! I love your store. I just bought a few items, and signed up as a wholesale account. Looking forward to seeing all your new stuff next month!

Jenni:
I was so touched to hear about the Habitat for Humanity donation. I helped build a HFH house several years ago and it was the most AWESOME experience....working side by side with the people who will be moving in. They were so appreciative and would NEVER have had the opportunity to own a home like that on their own. You have inspired me to do something on my own here for HFH....thanks for the reminder that the need never ends. Glad you all had a great time together -- you deserve a few moments off here and there. {{{hugs}}}
just wanted to let you know that you can post more than 3 photos per entry on blogger, it just takes longer. Depending on how many pictures you have, blogger may prompt you to fill in a special form (click boxes). Maybe you already knew that.
