Hello loyal blog readers! Hey, do you like my new header? Looks a bit more funky now, I think... I am slowly getting a little more computer literate every day........ And so you may notice a new page element over there on the right up the top. It is a spot to enter your email address, and so every time I update my blog, you will get an email to tell you that I have... Cool huh! So you won't have to keep on checking anymore to see if I have or not, and being disappointed because I am slack :-). To celebrate me becoming more computer literate than before, (though still quite a dunce relatively speaking), everyone who subscribes to my blog before 30th June 2007 will go into the draw to receive this stamp set.... It is called Around the Block, and is a retired hostess set from the Stampin' Up!® 2006-2007 Idea Book and Catalogue. There are 4 stamps in the set, and in case you cannot see them very well, they say: W is for Wonderful, B is for Bliss, T is for Thanks and G is for Genuine. Great for cardmakers or scrapbookers! So get subscribing to be in the draw.... Competition only open to Australian residents, (but a big G'day to all of you in the big wide world) and is not available to other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators..... Hope you win!

Some fabulous news....

Well, for two lucky people anyway!

Firstly, my 50/50 promotion has now got a winner! ALEX HUGHES of Lisarow (http://scrapalley.blogspot.com) has won one of the Sell-a-bration sets from the January/ February promotion (she is yet to pick which one) plus a soft subtles assorted A4 card stock pack and a Pretty in Pink ink pad (her choice of colours - amongst my faves, I must say!) Don't be sad if you missed out - I am continuing the promotion for one more round. So if you have my little yellow cards - HANG ON TO THEM!! they will still be valid. As soon as my next 50 customers spend $50 each and fill my sheet, I will draw again for another of the Sell-a-bration sets, an A4 assorted card stock pack, and a Classic Ink pad of your colour choice.... So book your workshop today, or place an order to go towards you entries in the draw......

Also, we drew a name from all those who put their details down at the CAR BOOT SALE at Narara Valley Baptist Church to be on our mailing list..... Congratulations to LOUISE GRATTAN of Narara who won a stamp set, some card stock to make cards, and a Basic Black ink pad..... happy stamping Louise!

May Special

The Stampin' Up!® Convention for 2007 is OVER! The excitement and build up were agonising, but well worth it! It was everything I expected and dreamed it to be, and then some! I learnt soooo much to help me in my business, and not just about making money - the thing I loved most was the way that even the most high up executives actually care more about the people they are getting to know through their business than about the money they make. This was so appropriately demonstrated by the co-founder and CEO, Shelli Gardener, who was there with her husband, and who was so excited and emotional about meeting US! She also spoke about how it Starts with Heart (the theme for the convention) and actually demoed as well some lovely things... I love being part of a company that fits in so well with my own life philosophies of caring about other people, and not pushing people to buy things, and going at my own pace (incentives are there for attaining goals, but everyone is encouraged and applauded for their own successes) and supporting and helping each other..... Such a breath of fresh air!!!
This month, Stampin' Up! are offering a discount on their already discounted Starter Kit - $299 for over $500 worth of product! That's an excellent deal.... and it is such a good time to join up as the Stampin' Up! year begins in April, which means there is still more than 10 months to achieve some great goals by March 2008, and collect awards at the 2008 convention!!! By the way, the 2008 convention is going to be on the 11th and 12th of April in Brisbane, so I am already planning a family holiday in the sun.............. If you'd like to join me, email me at cherylandrews@optusnet.com.au and join with a huge group of fellow stamping and papercraft addicts.... oops!... I mean artists.... The support is fantastic - you won't be left out on your own to find your own way. Regular training and support is offered to enhance your business and keep the creative juices flowing, both from the company and from within the group I belong to - the Elite Stampers (check out our creative blog over there on the right).

Well, I've raved enough. Soon I will put some pictures up of the things we made at convention so you can drool some more - not to mention the free stamp sets we got, the convention bag, the pen, badges and key chain wallet, and all the cool things we could buy in Memento Mall... Only a person addicted to rubber could understand........
