JANUARY FIRST, 20210 – HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. I hope each of you had an amazing New Year’s Eve celebration with family and friends.

We spent the afternoon and evening celebrating with three other couples. There were games and shared food and laughter and memory sharing 9and maybe a few celebratory wines).

We saw the New Year in – and, we actually had a grown up’s sleepover.

The next morning, we enjoyed a hearty cooked breakfast and looked forward to another couple joining us. The ten of us all met in Bundaberg and watched as our babies grew into adults, enjoying group family holidays together.

Although some of us have moved away from Bundaberg and we may only catch up one or two times a year, as a group, we cherish it when we do.

One of the couples left early this morning so they could get to the airport to pick up their son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren who were able to travel and visit.

Later in the morning, the guys managed to play a few rounds of golf.

The weather forecast suggested it could be raining so, before we left home, I decided to pack up some card making supplies and a few of the June Sending Sunshine Paper Pumpkin Kits I had in my stash.

I was thrilled when the ‘girls’ decided that they would like to make some cards. We shared two kits between the four of us and we each left with four cards ready to spread some cheer in this new year. During 2020, I had one of these friends joining me for several long, slow classes at her sister’s house (a half way point for travel for each of us), so she was my ‘assistant’. The other two friends are relatively new to card making and they were very pleased with their creations.

We enjoyed about an hour of creativity before packing things away and moving on to the rest of the morning.

I was so pleased that I decided to take a card making bag of goodies with me – I didn’t kmow if we would have the opportunity – or if people would be interested. But, I offered the opportunity and we had a great time.

It was a really great way to start 2021 – creating together, supporting each other, chatting and having fun.

I am so pleased to share this as a personally satisfying benefit of joining Stampin’ Up!®.

I was able to share a creative experience with my friends – I LOVE what I do and SHARE what I love, as I help others ENJOY creativity and worthwhile accomplishments. In this, I make a difference. A personalised version of the Stampin’ Up!® Statement of the Heart.

Tomorrow, drop by for some information about what you can choose to do after joining.

Woops – I was so caught up in my SENDING STAMPIN’ TIME announcement yesterday, I forgot to post Day 6. So, here it is.

What did you think of the benefits I have shared so far about joining Stampin’ Up!®? Do you have any questions? If you do, I hope you contact me so we can chat.

There are still many reasons to join Stampin’ Up! that I will continue to share.

Today I thought I would talk to you about joining and what you could add to your STARTER KIT. It’s time to start planning.

What is still on your wishlist? Are there any products in the 2020 – 2021 ANNUAL CATALOGUE that you still want to order?

If you have the new 2021 JANUARY — JUNE MINI CATALOGUE, have you already earmarked what you want to order?

When you join Stampin’ Up!, you get to choose $235 AUD of products and pay only $169 – that’s $66 of products you get for FREE. Even better – a Starter Kit order is not charged any postage, which on a $169 order would be $8.45.

You have now saved $74.45.

Any time is a good time to join Stampin’ Up!.

And, as they say in some advertisments “but wait! There’s more!”.

If you join during Sale-a-bration, you will receive a FREE, exclusive gift from the upcoming 2021-2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE – an assortment of of five 6″x 6″ stacks of the Designer Series Paper.

As a demonstrator, I have been able to order what you will receive for free. I paid $100 for the 5 DSP stacks. So, if you make the decision to join, you have $174.45 of Stampin’ Up! products at no cost to you.

Here are some STARTER KIT combinations:

#1 Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine ($104) + Flowering Cactus Product Medley ($122) + Pearl Basic Jewels ($8.75) = $234.75

#2 Hydrangea Hill Suite ($154.25) + Hello Dear Friend Kit ($56) + 2 Pearlescent Specialty Paper ($14) = $234.25

#3 Fine Art Floral Suite ($178) + Pretty Perennials Bundle ($56) = $234

There are so many possibilities for your STARTER KIT. One important thing to note is that your kit total cannot go over $235. It needs to $235 or less. As you can see, my three examples range from 25 cents to $1 less than the total value.

As it is New Year’s Eve in Australia, I thought that I would share some of my favourite projects from 2020.
