It's time for another blog hop again! Welcome back to my regular readers and hello to new ones. Before I let you know what ESAD stands for and see my projects, I just want you let you know a little bit about sale-a-bration.
Sale-a-bration (SAB) is an awesome special Stampin' Up! have each year. For every order of $100 you get to choose a free stamp set from a choice of 4 (Good Neighbours, Whimsical Words, Vintage Labels or Happy Moments) and there is no limits! If you have a workshop and the workshop goes over $600 you also get to choose a SAB stamp set plus all the other bonuses you always get from a workshop. Stampin' Up! also give new recruits that join during SAB a free stamp set of their choice to the value of $79.95. How good is that?
Note: The $100 and $600 amounts are prior to postage and handling which is $5.95 or 5% of the total order (whichever is the greater of the two)
To view the sale-a-bration catalogue, visit here... http://www3.stampinup.com/au/documents/SAB_10_AU-NZ.pdf
What is ESAD? ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up! We love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends and wonderful blog visitors but we share our love for what we do with each other as Demonstrators.

I just want to let you know, if you do make it around to all theblogs in today’s Blog Hop and comment on each one, you are in the running for some Extra Special Blog Candy. Demonstrators from all over have donated blog candy for this blog hop and if you are the lucky winner you’ll be getting all sorts of parcels. If you comment on all the blogs, drop Leonie an e-mail at leonie@stamp-a-latte.com letting her know that you commented on all the blogs to go into the draw for the ‘extra special’ blog candy.
You've just come from Rebecca Scurr's blog.
