Presenting ... "HOGtoberfest"

Starting today, Friday, Oct. 2, and running through the weekend (ending at midnight EST on Sunday, Oct. 4), Hambo is having a site-wide** 40% off sale!

Click here to get started!

The sale price applies only to regularly priced stamps. Designs on the different sale pages (sale / retiring / seconds) are already marked down that much or more; you can still add these things to your order, but they will NOT receive an additional discount.

**Only digital stamps that are combined with a rubber stamp order are eligible for the discount!**

Here are additional sale rules:
The discount applies only to orders placed between 12:01am (EST) on Friday, October 2 to midnight (EST) on Sunday, October 4.

There is a limit of one of each design per customer.

The discount applies only to in-stock items, with no back-orders available.

Only digital stamps that are combined with a rubber stamp order are eligible for the discount.

The free shipping offer does NOT apply during this sale event.

Payment must be received within 7 days to qualify for these sale prices.
Orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis for all orders that have the appropriate information: your name, mailing address, and mounted or unmounted (trimmed rubber on sticky cushion) preference. If any of this information is missing and I have to email you back to clarify, you'll lose your "spot" in the sequence of orders.

Please also be sure to include the name of the stamp (as it's listed on the website) AND its item number. It will also save me a step if you'll mention how you'll be paying - Paypal or money order. Goodness! I know that sounds like a lot of info, but trust me, it helps things move a lot quicker!

Hey everyone!
Since I'm busy surfing in Hawaii right now, I haven't had time to surf the web for this weeks Friday Faves. Today I thought I'd share a few of my favorite places to visit when I go to Oahu each year. Hope you enjoy....
