Today is Chinese New Year. I wish you all a successful Year of the Dragon. My eldest son is a dragon baby and he’s pretty excited that this is his year!

We had a very busy holiday season in our household so blogging had to take a back seat. Starting in February, I will be able to blog more often. I have a few things lined up for February. I am at the moment working on several card ideas and scrapbooking pages that I would like to share with you. So stay tuned and visit again soon.

Stamp Club is on February 8, Wednesday, 7.30-9.30 pm at my home in Ferntree Gully. We will be making a lovely birdhouse box and a technique card using one of the new stamp sets from the Summer Mini catalogue of Stampin’ Up!. Stamp Club is open to all my Stampin’ Up! friends and customers. Take advantage of Sale-a-Bration, starting 24 January- 31 March to purchase your stamps and supplies from Stampin’ Up!. Remember, for every $100 purchase, you are entitled to a stamp set, paper set or ribbon and brads set for  FREE.

During Sale-a-Bration, the starter kit is reduced to $249 (originally $289). If you have been thinking of a business for yourself  or just getting discounts for a hobby that you love, then why not take advantage of the reduced price and join the Stampin’ Up! family? Not only  will you enjoy the 20% commission and discounts for all your purchases but also the invaluable support and project ideas that Stampin’ Up! gives to demonstrators. Starting April 2012, Stampin’ Up! will reduce the minimum sales requirement per quarter to $400 (originally $500). That’s another incentive for you to join!

Kindly let me know if you would like to order from the Summer Mini Catalogue. Items in this catalogue will only be available until March 31. There is no guarantee that these items will be carried over to the new Idea Book in September. If you love it, then it’s best to order them before 31 March.

Thanks and hope to hear from you. Cheers!
