I am recently back home from the annual South Pacific Stampin' Up! Convention. This year it was held in Melbourne and was for three days instead of the two days in the past. I had a ball and have come home brimming with ideas to try. Stampin' Up! were extremely generous this year, not only did we get some fabulous stamp sets from the upcoming Idea Book and Catalogue (released in September) but we also saw some amazing sneak peaks. The three days saw me relax and enjoy the break from my day to day life, but were also jam packed full of laughter, time with friends, stamping, game shows, commercials, awards nights celebrations and so much more.
Onto the NEWS I learnt and can share with you.
Would you like an extra $70 to spend on Stampin' Up! products? For holding a $450 workshop (excluding shipping and handling) between May 23rd - June 30, 2011 you will get a level 1 hostess stamp set and $110 to spend on any product you like. Normally, a $450 workshop gives you a level 1 hostess stamp set and $40 to spend on product. Contact me to book you workshop today. If you live to far away for me to travel to do you workshop, how about a catalogue party? Show the catalogue around to friends and collect orders and get your hostess benefit's that way.
ABN's are no longer required to join Stampin' Up! If needing an ABN had put you off in the past, contact me for more information about becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Not only would you be able to stamp with me *grin* but also be privy to so much more.
