FREE EVENT

 Just a quick note to remind you of our "Celebrate Sale-a-bration' stamping session which will be held in Creswick, Vic, on Friday 27th January. And you're invited!

We'll be kicking off Sale-a-bration for 2012  – an annual Stampin' Up! event that rewards customers and hostesses, and even new demonstrators (if you've ever thought about joining Stampin' Up! you'll be blown away with what's in store).

There is no charge for attending, and for your convenience we're offering you a choice of two short sessions (2pm – 3pm or 7pm – 8pm).

More details in the January newsletter which will be out soon, but please note that you must reserve a spot. Not yet a newsletter subscriber? Enter your email address under the heading 'Subscribe' over there on the right sidebar. ->

We've been busy this week here at home with a BIG clean up and doing all the jobs that we never seem to have time to do. I even tackled my box of retired stamps… the stamps I said I'd NEVER part with. But I'm seriously running out of space and with plenty of stamps still on my wish list, these golden oldies have got to go. Check out the newly updated Stamps For Sale page. All new listings have GREAT prices, and some of the older sets have been further reduced.

As a special bonus, I'm offering my blog readers the chance to take your pick of these retired stamp sets for FREE. All you have to do is submit an order of $100 for current Stampin' Up! products and you can choose ANY retired stamp set for free!

But get in quick because this offer is valid for 1 week only (expires 5pm Friday 6th of January).  Click here to email your order, and don't forget to tell me which retired stamp set you want!

Happy stamping,

Wishing everyone a fabulous and fun-filled Christmas. Hope your day is…

Happy stamping,

Only a few more sleeps until Christmas!

Wishing all my blog friends a few quiet moments to stop and enjoy this special time. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle as we try to knock things off our To Do list, but the beauty really is in the quiet moments.

For me, there's nothing quite like Christmas lights at nights, kinder ornaments hanging on the tree, homemade bikkies from friends, and hearing so many excited shrieks in the morning as the kids check their Advent Calendar pockets. Talk of Santa, finishing school, getting ready for our beach holiday, making plans for everything that we'll do 'on the holidays', and reminding the kids of the real meaning of Christmas. 

I LOVE this time of year!

This card is based on one from past Christmas workshops, but I've added some of the gorgeous red Glimmer Paper (p13 Summer Mini catalogue) and a Glimmer Brad. Nice and shiny in real life.

Happy stamping,
