Oooohhh! I was so excited! I was at Michaels yesterday and saw new holiday stamps. I'll try to remember them all:
images:
flying reindeer (super cute!), snowman, snowman head with face, wreath, snowflake, tree, row of three stockings,gingerbreadman, sleigh with presents and a tree?, holly & berries, ribbon (like for on top of a package), and a tag with to/from.
phrases:
merry christmas, happy holidays, joy, and cheers
I may have forgotten some and I am sorry if this was already posted!

Just in case you don't know this already, my experience is that some of these stamps are not trimmed well. just in case they are not, microwave the whole thing for about 5 seconds and pull off the stamp, trim properly and stick it right back on.

I am hopelessly addicted to this stamps. I admit it. Thanks for the tip for trimming. I have not yet had to do that with any of mine. The michaels closest to me just got the halloween/thanksgiving one about 2 weeks ago. so I was very happy to see these. They come in handy since I am doing the santa shop craft sale for my ds's school. (where the kids shop) I needed more holiday stamps!

I've been to 2 Michael's - one in RI and one in CT.
I'm headed to another one in RI today and if that doesn't work out I can check one in MA on the way to my MIL's on Monday.
Yeah, it's nice to be able to hit 4 states in an hour, but I want to see those stamps!!!
Just got home from Michaels... and mine did have the Holiday stamps as well as lots of other new ones!! I got 3 holiday ones, an icecream cone, one with two little cute bunnies on it, and a tropical drink one with the little umbrella. There were more that I wanted... but I just had to hold myself back. My reason for today's trip was to buy those little Wilton treat bags for Halloween goodies (and I almost forgot to get them!!) -- I was in line at the register and realized that I didn't even get them!!
Thanks for such a great tip!! I just love this site!

Your description of the stocking sounds like the one I picked up last year. So I scanned them so you can tell us if they are the same.
I love this snowman and it comes in very handy with recycling Christmas cards for Keiki and I know I'm not the only person doing cards for them on this site. Just take a winter scene and place him in it after cutting out the image. If the arms are to hard to cut just stamp him right on the card and attach the cut out in place.
When stamps need a trim I do it without taking the rubber off the wood and it works fine. I like them trimmed very close to the design.
Oh the torture!! We just took my car to be fixed today and so I'll be without wheels for a few days. What if Michaels runs out of those stamps!!
I am totally kicking myself for not getting the "happy halloween" and the "Jackolantern." Now they are sold out.
But I do love my "trick or treat" and "black cat" stamp.
Hmmmmmmm. How to sneak up to Micheal's with a pocketful of change. I posted on another thread that that is how I buy those stamps. Change doesn't count if you spend it. And I just found a pile of change in my DH's car when we were coming back from the dealership.
Rox--those are the same ones! I didn't discover $1 stamps until after Christmas last year. That snowman is sooo cute! I have been using him for hot cocoa sleeves with the ribbon pull.
Dawn--I got my stamps at the Michael's on Hall Rd. down by Lakeside. I know it is a little far for you. But I did notice that the store at 26 mile and Van Dyke had those halloween ones still on Monday.

I saw a lot of those Halloween stamps at the 26 mile store last week too. It looks like they just opened a new box of them because there were more than the last time I'd been in.
If you have little one don't let them over by the bubble bath gel which very close by. They look like those toys with gel inside that you squeeze...so he did...what a mess! Oh I should say he wasn't mine, my son is a little old for that!
I want to go too! Thanks for the heads up, but it seems like my Michael's is always a little slow in getting the newest items in stock. I always have to check it out though just to make sure I don't miss out on anything.
I'll definately be heading for M's the first chance I get. I don't like their stamps at all but I'm stockpiling these ones to give to my DD as an x-mas gift - she loves stamping but is way to young to be using all my stuff LOL! and the Michaels ones are cheap and a lot of them ARE way cute.

If you have a Dollar Tree near you look for stamps there for your daughter. They had some cute teddy bears that my sister in law emailed a picture of. Not my style but cute for a little girl. They also had some flowers and a bug that was new. I have the flower from my SIL but passed on the bug. I can't remember what else I saw since it's been a couple weeks.
Thanks for the heads up. But I'll just count those 2 stamps as 2 more dollars I can put toward something else. hehe. I did get out to Michael's tonight bought 4 packs of decorative buttons that I needed for Christmas gifts I'm making. Luckily, I lucked out and they were 50% off. So I'm up to 6 dollars I saved that I can spend some where else. Like I said before, I can rationalize things pretty easily.
And my Michael's didn't have the Christmas stamps yet I am looking forward to seeing that reindeer stamp. I really like that SU set with the penguin and reindeer.
Holiday $1 stamps at Michaels!
