Helping Hudson

I found this blog which has been set up to help a little boy named Hudson.

He needs a KidWalker which will greatly improve his quality of life. The blog itself has challenges and giveaways. You can even buy some tutorials - the proceeds will help his parents raise money to buy the KidWalker. If you don't want the tutorials, but want to help, there is a place to donate some money.

You can read more about this amazing little boy or enter the challenges and buy the tutorials on the blog Helping Hudson.

Update on Bushfire Appeal

You may remember that recently, Stampin' Up! held a Bushfire Appeal to help people in Victoria who lost their property in the fires.

The result: $77,889.63 for the Appeal!

Thank-you to everyone who participated.

This is a great result and will definitely help.

I'll be back over the weekend with a card.

A reminder that the Live Your Dream set is part of the Stampin' Up! bushfire appeal which runs until the end of March. Stampin' Up! will donate 50% of the retail price to the Bushfire Appeal. If you order from me, I will give you 20% off the retail price. This is one of my favourite sets from the current mini catalogue. The card above is similar to a card that we will be making in today's stamp-a-stack class.

Mini Box

I made this box for another of my customers who ordered some very small things. I've used the same paper again (Spring Showers) and Live Your Dream Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue for the front panel. A reminder that this set is part of the Bushfire Appeal, so Stampin' Up! will be donating 50% of the price to the victims of the bushfires. I am also giving 20% off this set (and the others in the appeal) to sell more and therefore raise more money.

Bag in a Box

Last month, I received a couple of small orders. Rather than put the products in a large plastic bag, I decided to make my own containers to put them in. This is one of them. I think it's called a Bag in a Box. There are a number of different recipes for them on the net, but if you'd like the instructions from me, feel free to send me an email and I'll forward them to you.

Paper: Spring Showers Designer Series Paper (not pictured in this year's Idea Book, but still available); Purely Pomegranate cardstock; Whisper White.

Stamp Set: Live Your Dreams (Mini Catalogue).

Ink: Purely Pomegranate.

Ribbon: Bashful Blue Taffeta Ribbon.

Punches: Scallop Edge; Scallop Circle; 1-1/4" Circle; 1-3/8" Circle; 1/8" Circle; Round Tab.

Other: White Gel Pen.

Bushfire Appeal

The news emerging from Victoria has been more and more devastating each day. To help out those poor people who have lost everything, Stampin Up! have just announced a Bushfire Appeal. They are donating 50% of the retail value of all sales from a select group of 10 stamp sets. I will be offering an extra 20% off these sets until 31 March or while stocks last*:

• Priceless pg105 was $48.95 NOW $39.16
• Seeing Spots pg89 was $29.95 NOW $23.96
• Baroque Motifs pg98 was $39.95 NOW $31.96
• Live Your Dream pg3 (Summer Mini) was $55.95 NOW $44.76
• Looks Like Spring* pg76 was $58.95 NOW $47.16
• The Snowflake Spot* pg27 was $39.95 NOW $31.96
• Bodacious Bouquet* pg80 was $58.95 NOW $47.16
• Polka Dots & Paisley* pg46 was $35.95 NOW $28.76
• G'day Mate* pg115 was $35.95 NOW $28.76
• Be Happy* pg51 was $39.95 NOW $31.96

*These 6 sets will appear on the list of retiring products, so they will only be available for the Bushfire Appeal- while supplies last. These sets usually go quickly, so hurry.

Don't forget too, that if you spend $100 in one order until the end of February, you earn a free stamp set of your choice from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.

If you ever needed a good reason to buy stamps, this is a very worthy cause!
