Ba Donkey Donk surprise!

Hi everyone!! It's another release week here at TSG but we have a special surprise this month :) This past weekend I had the pleasure of having a dozen of some of the most talented stampers (from all over the US and Canada) come hang out at my house. Not only did I get to witness some gorgeous work being made but I can't remember the last time I laughed SO hard!! We were up till 3:30 AM every night crafting and giggling away! While I have known most of these ladies (both in 'real life' and online) for years, it was great to finally have all of us under one roof. I totally couldn't have pulled all of this off without my amazing husband! Not only did Matt let me invite all of these crazies but he busted his butt to help me get things ready AND he woke up at the crack of dawn to take one of the ladies back to the airport! He fit in just fine with everyone and judging by this picture, they kinda liked him too ;)

It was an amazing weekend and I am so happy to have met these life long friends from all walks of life. I totally can't wait for next year's get together and I'm so thankful that my Canadian girls will be able to come before the start of summer to give me my stamper friend mix :) 

*************************************
And now on to our surprise! For some reason these ladies like to refer to themselves as donkeys so I just HAD to talk to Melyssa about illustrating some fun donkey images to debut at the crop :) It was hard to keep this a secret but I'm so glad that I did because the look on their faces was priceless!

To celebrate this new set, I put all of the girls to work creating cards for a SPECIAL Blog Hop Challenge! Not only are some of the TSG girls participating, but we are being joined by the other AMAZING stampers that have gathered with us this weekend!
 
Are you ready for this???

Our new set is called Ba Donkey Donk, and for all you snarky, tongue in cheek stampers out there, THIS is the set for you!! With three different styles of donkey's, and 9 AMAZING sentiments to go with it...really, there ISN'T an occasion you can use these for!!  


Ba Donkey Donk is a 4x6 stamp set of 12 stamps that will sell for $15!  

Would you like to win the new Ba Donkey Donk stamp? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s, and Guest's blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post. You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps!
