Free Shipping on orders placed July 23rd for a $75 or more product order! Place your order early on Tuesday so your items have a better chance of being in stock! There is always a rush of orders on free shipping day. If the item is sold out by the time you place your order, you won’t be getting that item while enjoying the free shipping promotion on that item. Stampin’ Up! no longer and has not for some time, allowed for backordered items as the shipping cost of mailing these items when they came back in stock was too great.
While you are shopping on Tuesday, Bonus Days rewards you a $5 coupon code for every $50 in orders with no limit on the number of coupon codes earned. So purchase your entire wish list! Make sure you save all your coupon code emails because you can redeem all the codes on one order in August. Use those codes to make purchases for adhesives, Basic White paper, envelopes or whatever else did not make it in your cart on free shipping day!

I was working on file back up and came across my 20th Anniversary email. Then realized I should share it as this is something to feel accomplished about. So here is the badge!
Now to have a s’mores cookie to celebrate with desserts first before lunch 😉
It been buzzing at my house this week…honey was extracted on Monday with the bottles of honey goodness being picked up from my Halloween house. Honey sale details are at the end of this post.
Jar tags feature dsp that has gold comb and a bumble bee. The background print is from my super fun Halloween pants. I complete the look with an orange polo and candy corn mask.
And guess what, the print is glow in the dark with cobwebs glowing!
Visits to my senior living communities are this week too. So in between a sticky mess, I have been sharing the glow in the dark ghosts and bats on Halloween cards with fun treats shared as well (no tricks here ;). My last community was gracious enough to shift my visit to earlier in the week last month. When I told them why (needed that day to decorate cakes for a wedding reception treat table), they said they would be taste tasters. I baked lemon macarons and carrot mini cupcakes for a festive treat.
The honey harvest takes a full day with a short break for lunch. I still have some clean up to do with lots of hot water that will go in the garden since wax will be melted from equipment. The waste water does not go down the drain. I’ll post videos showing the honey frame pull from the hives and the extraction process to my Youtube channel when they are edited later next week.
If you are interested in my small batch honey, know that my bees are treatment free and never fed sugar water. They roam the countryside in rural Arkansaw, WI where the ecology is varied and vibrant, winds are stiff and the winter is harsh. It all makes for a premium honey to be enjoyed by the spoonful or in tisanes.
The golden goodness is bottled in glass jars accordingly:
quart sized jar is 45 ounces of honey for $45 (stocked for the winter)
pint sized jar is 22 ounces of honey for $22 (enjoy frequently)
half pint sized jars are $10 (perfect for gifting and charcuterie boards)
How fast you enjoy it is up to you. I find that a spoonful a day in my morning tea is plenty to keep my energy up. Click the contact button to request honey pick up from my Halloween house in Sun Prairie, WI or pick up/delivery near Durand, WI. Email works too if you have my email address. The girls and Me thank you so much for your support as the work is hot and sticky!
Last, this is what is NOT suppose to happen inside the bee hive. They were building on the attic when they still had room on the frames. The girls do make hive inspections interesting!
Underneath the wood bars seen in the photo above is where the bees live. At different times throughout the season, comb cells are filled with growing baby bees, nectar which they turn into honey and pollen which they turn into bee bread that is feed to the baby fees. Over the winter, they cluster inside the cells to conserve warmth and slowly enjoy their honey they worked all summer for.
Here is a typical fully filled and wax capped honey frame. The wax cap needs to be scrapped off so the honey can be spun out in the extractor. I’ll share the extraction process in my Youtube video later next week. Until then, Buzz Ya Later!
