Happy Holidays!From my family to you and yours, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Thank you so much for all the wonderful Christmas and Get Well cards that I received over the past month. It was so nice going to be the mailbox and finding things that you have made and shared with me. November and December were definitely crazy months for my family not only with the holidays but accidents, illnesses and Shelby coming home from Vanderbilt for Winter Break. It caused me to be a little bit behind but thankfully things are getting back to normal and 2009 has started off great! Here’s to a healthy and prosperous New Year for all of you!
Countdown to New Catalog – Only 11 days away! The new 2009 Spring and Summer Idea Book and Catalog is only 11 DAYS away! If you haven’t pre-ordered yours, it’s not too late to be one of the first to see all the wonderful new things that SU has to offer. They are specially priced at $5.00 each (retail $9.95) or FREE when you book a workshop/catalog show or join/belong to one of my Stamp/Scrap clubs. They are due in my hands by January 19 and will be ready for deliver/pickup at that time!
Better yet….stop by my NEW CATALOG OPEN HOUSE on Saturday, January 31st from 1:00-4:00 and pick one up! I’ll be showcasing lots of new stamp sets and accessories as well as some of the new SALE-A-BRATION Sets! Plus there will be demonstrations, make and takes, door prizes, and of course, PLENTY OF CHOCOLATE!
As a reminder, the Fall and Winter Catalog AND the Holiday Mini end on Sunday, January 18th. And starting at NOON on Monday, January 19th, you can view online as well as start placing orders from the Spring and Summer IB&C.
With all the excitement of the new catalog, there are SEVERAL SPECIALS you’ll definitely want to consider! Specials! Specials! Specials! Retiring Stamp Sets (see link on right) As always, I’ll be offering 10% off ANY retiring stamp set or accessory now thru January 18th when order directly thru me. (10% off is not available with Online Ordering since this is MY Special to you and not an Official SU Promotion)
Retiring Accessories! These are available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! I will send out an updated list as often as possible with the latest date available.
