Stampin' Up's! Retiring list

Hello all,

Well I thought it was high time I listed the Retiring list to my website. As you may already know, Stampin' Up! is retiring a HUGE amount of their products to make way for the 2009 - 2010 Ideas Book and Catalogue. Apparently this is the largest amount they have ever retired, but seeing as it is my first year at this then there really is no bench mark.

However, one bench mark that always makes me sit up and take notice is one that has %off listed next to it!!! LOL. Well you guessed it. There are quite a few with 25% marked off and even 2 with 50% marked off. WOW. Have a look here at the full retirement list to snatch up a few of these bargains before they all sell out.

Unfortunately, some have already sold out and some are sooooo low that you better contact me now if you want to place an order. I will list below the items that are Unavailable and Low Quantity

Slack Blogger Alert

Hello again Party People,

Firstly I am so very sorry to anyone who may have been coming back to check my site. I have had a lovely holiday down the coast for the past 3 weeks and I am definately back and rearing to go. It really is amazing what a relaxing holiday can do for the motivation. Keep checking by to see what churns out from my creativity over the next few weeks!!!

Secondly, Stampin' Up has launched it's yearly sale called Sale-A-Bration and it is Awesome. This is why;
For Customers who spend $100 they will receive a FREE stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration brochure and there's no limit. For every $100 spent, that is another set.
For Hostesses there is even better offers. When you host a workshop of at least $600 you will receive a FREE Sale-A-Bration set in addition to our usual hostess benefits! You'll receive a second set when your net workshop sales reach $1200 and a third when they reach $1800.
For New Recruits, there is the best deal of all. During Sale-A-Bration only, you will receive a FREE set from the 2008/2009 Ideas Book and Catalogue up to the value of $79.95. What better time to start up your own business, save 20% off all further purchases and make loads of new friends whilst doing something you just love.
Check out the brochure here or ask me for a copy. But get in fast because this is only for a limited time and my diary dates are filling up fast.

Thirdly, I am definately in the process of putting together new workshops for the next 2 months. I aim to have 1 card making class and 1 special project class. I would love to hear your feedback on what you would like to do. Drop me a message here or email me at alisonengesser1@optusnet.com.au for your requests.

So until then, get busy crafting and don't forget to book your workshop today.

The New Summer Catalogue is here

Woo Hoo, It's here and it is fabulous. The new Summer Mini is jam packed full of gorgeous new stamps, new scallop punches, new embellishments and of course new DS papers. I pre ordered the scallop edged punch and have been going crazy with it. I suppose it will be my next addiction - which is probably a good thing that I am over my red phase.

For anyone who is interested in checking it out I have added the link here and will soon upload a more permanent link on the right hand side. I also have a few paper catalogues and would be more than happy for you to have one and show your friends, just drop me an email at alisonengesser1@optusnet.com.au and I will pop it in the post or give it to you.

I have also received the much awaited Sale-A-Bration catalogue. Being a new SU! demonstrator I have heard so much about this promotion but have never experienced it for myself. So therefore, I have been dying to see what all the fuss is about. Well it was worth the wait. Here is the run down:
During the period of January 1st 2009 - February 28th 2009;

Customers -- Receive a free Sale-A-Bration product for every $100 purchase.

Hostesses -- Receive a free Sale-A-Bration stamp set with a $600 or more workshop, in addition to the normal hostess benefits.

Recruits -- Choose any retail stamp set (a value up to $79.95) from the current catalogue when signing up during the promotion.

Now I have seen the catalogue and although I cannot send you one yet I would be more than happy to show you mine, it really is a great deal. The stamp sets are gorgeous (as usual) and who would turn down a free set of stamps!!! So if you were waiting for the right time to invest in some of SU!'s fab products then during this promotion would definately be the time. This also applies to those who would want to host demonstations, but please get in quick for bookings as I already have quite a few lined up.

And finally it would be remiss of me not to mention the wonderful promotion that SU! has lined up for the month of december. The promo is titled Tying Up Christmas and if you spend $20.00 or more you can receive 20% off the following items.

Festive Favourites stamp set (page 27) was $45.95 now only $36.76
Crazy For Christmas stamp set (page 28) was $39.95 now only $31.96

Certainly Celery 5/8″ grosgrain ribbon (page 146) was $14.95 now only $11.96
White Square Aluminium Metal Edge tags (page 147) was $7.50 now only $6.00

It really is a very handy list for the christmas period and if you haven't started your chrissy cards this would certainly take the sting out of it. Plus it really isn't very often that you can pick up a set of stamps for only $16.76. What a bargain!!!!
