Retirement time is here - get the lists & my top picks

Our 2016-17 Annual & 2017 Occasions Catalogues end on 31 May, so Stampin' Up! announced today which items won't carry over to our new Annual Catalogue.
Retirement time is always a bittersweet time for me, seeing favourite items go, but we have to let go to make space for new ones we'll love just as much.
This means you get one last hurrah to get your faves before they go, with some items up to 50% off.

The retirement lists are massive, so my top picks lists may help you narrow down some choices. Grab your fave cuppa & treat & sit down with your catalogues & the full lists too to make sure you get what you want before they're gone.

Important: All retiring products are now only available while stocks last, until May 31 only. The most popular items will go very quickly so check out the list & get your picks.
