Goodbyes and Hellos!

Well, as promised, we have some very fun things going on in PMS land and we have fun news today! Today we are introducing our new design team!

Oh design team call made making these decisions extremely difficult as there was talent ABOUND sent to the submission email. If you were not selected, please dont feel like you were not capable because the fact of the matter is, there was SO much talent, it was really hard to choose. PMS has a team of diversity, different styles and ways they use stamps, so all of these things were taken into consideration when chosing the team. Still, i feel like we really did get a GREAT crop of new girls!

Having some new team members however, isnt without it's saddness. We are saying goodbye to 3 of our current team members. We have already said goodbye to Melyssa as you may remember, but we are also saying goodbye to Gabby Arrizza, Dawn Knight and Amber Kroening. We hope that these marvelously talented ladies wont be stangers to us at PMS!

Here are some cards from our talented ladies leaving us...

But as we said, we have some new girls. And in our very painstaking decision making, we could not choose just 4 new ladies, so we have 7! Thats right, 7 new wonderful talented ladies to add to our brood! And we'll have a guest designer each month. Oh i am just giddy! I'm sure these ladies are too!

SO, without much ado... here is our newest team members!

Andrea Vernagus

Anita Hovey

Bonnie Sharp

Ginger Schwerin

Michelle Van Patten

Sherry Campbell

Stephanie Zito

And the new team is getting a little fashion show of their own!

Now go leave some love for our leaving and newest team members!!!!

A design Team Fashion Show for you!

Wheweeeee i'm back in action again after my computer (the one that processes all the PMS orders, and is pretty much my LIFE online) broke down! How could it do this to me?! Just when i was getting caught up! Well, it's back in working action (after a new hard drive installed) and everything is busy busy busy getting ready for our new release on the 7th of July!

Tomorrow, we have big news!

Today, we have EYE CANDY!

Please enjoy!

Time for your Thursday Showoff...

Last week's challenge was to make something Baby!  And baby, did yall rock this challenge!  Check out this eye-candy goodness (and we'll see you here tomorrow for another Makeup 4 the Weekend Challenge).

What a long and crazy month it's been!

It's June 23rd?! WHAT!? It seems like just yesterday I was leaving for my vacation on May 29th.

That was a month ago! And while I was only gone for about 2 weeks (a little longer than anticipated due to driving across the country with a 4 year old and a 20 month old!)

I want to sincerely apologize for how behind the company has been this month.

We are now totally caught up! It seemed like everyday (though i say we, it's just me) i tried to make a bigger dent in the to do, and the catch up list, and suddenly i would look at the clock and say, how it is time for bed already?! Of course having 2 little ones and a hubby who works about 12 hours a day 6 days a week in the summer didnt help the catch up plan either.

So i really do apologize!

On a more fun note, now that everything is caught up, and the new PMS office is put together (ok, it's still partially in shambles, but we're working on it!)

The new DT is working with the current DT (we'll announce our new team on the 1st)

So what's next?! Well, my birthday is this weekend! So what am i going to do?

I'm going to offer a sale! Thats right! It's a 10% discount site wide!

You can even use it on the Celestial Possibilities makeup kit which is already $10 off it's retail price! This sale will go from now thru June 27th. Use the code JUNESAVE10 in your cart.

Whats more, i'm even going to let you use this code with other sale codes!

And now, just because i haven't posted any pretties for you to see on the blog in a bit, just a few wonderful creations from the awesome Paper Makeup Artists!
