Hi, Stampers!
Well, April is over and May is here! I’m sure there are many of you who are ready to get your life back, but this quarantine brought my daughter back home! I’m not going to complain one bit. Sarah is a “foodie” and, when she isn’t studying, she loves to bake. Here is a photo of her Cardamom Rolls. They were wonderful!! If you would like the recipe, just leave me a comment.
This time of year is always bittersweet to me – saying goodbye to both the Annual and Mini Catalogs! Although it’s always sad to see some favorites go, Stampin’ Up! knows how to soften the blow. When you join, you get to see the new catalog early, which gets you motivated to make room for all of the incredible new stuff! So, I am here to tell you that you are going to love it all!!

History
The month of May was named for the Greek goddess Maia. She was the goddess of fertility. The Romans had a similar goddess named Bona Dea. They held the festival for Bona Dea during the month of May.
The Romans called the month Maius. The name changed over the years. It was first called May in the 1400s near the end of the Middle Ages.

- Current subscribers can still log in and manage their accounts; however, they will NOT be able to add additional kits to their May subscription.
- Subscribers in canceled or suspended status will still be able to reactivate their subscription but will be activated for the JUNE subscription period; meaning they will not receive the May kit.

Stamping Up has helped as a great distraction for me and many others, but delicious food makes us all happy.
My youngest daughter, a nurse, is coming home, we haven’t seen her for a couple of months. I have some chronic health conditions. I am excited to see her. No doubt you feel the same.
Keep safe. Thank you for your beautiful cards and techniques.
