A quick update from Simone…
Hi friends, Just thought I’d pop in and say hello and bring you up to speed with all the news from Stampin’ Up! and from my little corner of the world.
Life is back to normal after finally fully recovering from pneumonia – and the school holidays! But we are just about to brace ourselves for Year 12 exams which is a whole experience all of its own. Wish us luck!
The year is racing along and the end of this year will certainly bring some changes. The good news is there will definitely be more creating and crafting in my future! My mind is bursting with all the possibilities, but they will include more classes, more craft shows, more travel and I would really love to get back in to making videos again for the Stamping with Simone YouTube channel. What do you think? I hope you have some fun things to look forward to as well, and that you can spend more of your day filled with joy. That’s what I’m planning to do. We really need more JOY in our lives, don’t we?

The weather is warming up and there is a feeling of spring in the air! Must admit, it lifts the spirits when you look out the window and see blue skies and flowers. With less than 3 months until we welcome 2025, I’m excited for the season of change and growth that is here.

If you’ve been around my page for a little while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of the all-inclusive kits. They are just so handy, with everything you need right there in the box.
They are perfect for taking away on holiday when you don’t have much space, great for gift-giving, ideal for beginners and young crafters – and just about anyone who wants to be a little creative where the thinking and preparation is all done for you.
Plus you can ‘dress them up’ if you want them to look a bit different. Want to swap out the sentiments or change the layout? Go for it!
The kits are up to 30% off during October, so well worth checking out.
And would you believe the new October kits are also on sale?! It’s true!

Last month I celebrated my 17th anniversary with Stampin’ Up! and wow what a wonderful ride it’s been over that time. I’ve seen soooo many changes, products and trends have come and gone, and some beautiful friendships made with fellow crafters.
But trust me, I wouldn’t have stuck around for 17 years if it wasn’t worth it. Yep, it really is worth it.

Do you love the products? Would you like to save money on your own purchases? Would you maybe even like to earn some pocket money when others buy the product through you (no obligation though)? Being a part of Stampin’ Up! looks different for everyone! You can make it whatever you want.
Has it been on your mind? Trust me, it’s never too late to become part of this amazing community. And if you’ve been a demonstrator in the past, then you’re warmly invited to rejoin.
If you have questions, I have the answers here. And if you still have questions, just reach out! Let’s see if it’s a good fit for you.

So it turns out I had a lot of news to share with you today! Thanks for sticking around and catching up with me. Leave me a comment to say hello or pop over to my Facebook page to continue the conversation. xxx
Happy stamping,
