Japan-Exclusive New Year Celebration Stamp Set

October 2, 2019 1 Comment


Hi Friends! I’ve been a little ‘MIA” lately, but as some of you may know, I’ve been busy catering for tuna charters. Since September, I’ve been cooking meals for the “Giant Bluefin Tuna Charters” every day and finish up October 15th. I love doing this each year, but holey moley, it’s a lot of work! It’s so rewarding and worth it though, to know that the charter’s clients have been raving about my food – such a good feeling! To see more about the charters (owned by my sweetheart’s sister and brother-in-law) click here. 



In amidst the cooking, I’ve been canning pickled onions and putting up jars of salsa and chow-chow with the tomatoes from my garden. Chow-chow pickles are a very Maritime condiment and they’re absolutely delicious! I had also planned on making some green-tomato mincemeat, but as we’re adding fish cakes to the charter’s menu next year, I thought I’d best use all my green tomatoes for chow-chow, which is a ‘must’ have to eat alongside the fish cakes (as well as baked beans). 


I still have carrots, beets, turnips and celery in my garden, which I’ve been covering up on the nights with frost. I think I’m going to freeze the turnip – not sure if you can? Otherwise, I’m going to keep them stored outside in our woodshed while we eat them up – nothing beats turnip cooked with a bit of apple! The beets and carrots are going to cut up and popped in the freezer to be enjoyed alongside meals this winter. Oh my goodness, I just LOVE my garden!!!! I’m not looking forward to waiting months and months before I can plant my next garden in the Spring. Oh well, that’s just the way it goes, right?

Yesterday I took a break from cooking (freshly baked cornbread was cooling and chilli was simmering in the oven) to cut our lawn. I needed some fresh air and time out of the kitchen, so I slipped into m’gumboots, fired up the ride-on mower and went round and round our 2 acres of property and a couple of hours later, the lawn was lookin’ fabulous and smelling divine (don’t you just love the smell of freshly cut grass?).  



Today I’m going to make Steak & Ale pie (for Friday’s charter) and then get to work on organizing my little ‘craft studio’. My craft room has been taking FOREVER to set up since I moved it from downstairs to an upstairs room. It’s really coming along though and I promise to share photos once it’s all done. I also hope to get another video filmed and posted for you in the next couple of days, featuring a technique that uses our Pigment Sprinkles. 


Remember to take time to enjoy this beautiful Autumn season – my favourite!





Previously, the New Year Celebration Stamp Set was available exclusively for Japanese demonstrators to order from the 2019–2020 annual catalogue. But from October 1, 2019, until January 31, 2020, this stamp set will be available to all everyone in North America!

Important Notice: Stampin’ Up! recently updated my website! To ensure you have the best experience, the next time you visit my site, please make sure not to include “www.” at the front of the URL. Or you can simply click the following link and save it as a favourite so you don’t have to think about it: https://serenestamper.stampinup.net/
If you forget and do include “www.” at the front, it’s possible you will see an error telling you the site may not be secure. That’s not true; in fact, it’s more secure than it was before the update! That “www.” is the problem.

AvatarI joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…

    You've been a very busy lady! I don't know how you manage to keep such a successful blog and stamping career (plus shooting tutorials) while cutting your 2 acre lawn, canning, jamming and catering. You're my hero.
