The time of year has come when some of the much loved products from the current catalogues will retire to make way for soon to be much loved products from the upcoming catalogue.

There are a couple of ways to go about viewing the list, it depends on your favoured methods, so allow me to break it down for you:

Go directly to the Last Chance List in my online store if you:

• are a visual person and content to browse the (as at the time of writing, 11!) pages of items
• are happy to fiddle with the various filters and search functions to find what you need
• like to be safe in the knowledge that if it's showing in the store, it's still currently available! (The list can sell out quickly, especially the outgoing In-Colors and the discounted stuff, so don't leave items in your basket for too long!)

Download the Excel spreadsheet below if you:

• are familiar with and comfortable using spreadsheet functions
• like to be able to section up what you're looking at using filters so you can zero in on different items in particular columns. eg. just the 50% discounted items, or just the Tools etc
• understand clearly that this list is not updated when items sell out, so you may be disappointed if you don't act quickly (The list can sell out quickly, especially the outgoing In-Colors and the discounted stuff!)

You may prefer to use a combination of the two methods, just as long as you're aware that once items are gone, they are gone for good.

Just Add Ink has put up a colour challenge for this week and I thought I'd play along. The housework can wait. The housework can always wait...

I decided that I like these bright colours popping out from a dark background so I layered them onto Basic Black using assorted bits from the Pierced Blooms dies. A simple greeting from the coordinating In Bloom stamp set and a strip of black and white striped Designer Series paper finished things off.

Thanks for stopping by!
