What is Sale a bration?

What is Sale-a-Bration anyway?

Just a couple of words -- FREE STAMPS!!  It doesn't matter who you are -- you get free stamps. If you would rather have something else – this year you can also choose some ribbon or patterned paper.

Sale a bration has been an annual occurrence with Stampin' Up! This will be my 6^th year earning free stamps as a demonstrator. I have stamped for around 12 years and every year I look(ed) forward to those free stamps. Sale-a-bration runs from February 1 to March 31.

I will be able to post the Sale-a-bration brochure on February 1. Be watching for that. For now, I'll let you in on some ways to get FREE stuff!!

When you spend $50 on Stampin' Up! merchandise, you'll receive a free Sale-A-Bration reward. There's no limit-for every $50 you spend, you can select another free Sale-A-Bration reward! You will have a choice of 4 stamp sets, a pack of ribbon, or designer paper.

Hostesses
When you host a workshop of at least $300 (before tax and shipping), you'll receive a free Sale-A-Bration reward in addition to all of the regular hostess benefits!

Designer Series Paper Split

Welcome to my new blog!!

Well, no not really. But, it is almost like starting over!

First, let me tell you what is happening in the world of Stampin' Up! The new catalog is released today! 1:00 PM CST. I cannot wait to see it go live with the online ordering. You will be able to check it out by going to www.sandyh.stampinup.net. Click on the link for Shop Now in the top right hand corner. Check out all the neat things that will be there.

Of course, I have BOXES and BOXES of the new catalogs. I am sure there are a lot of you that would like one to take to bed as reading material J. Have you ordered from me in the past? You can have a catalog. Having a party? You can have a catalog. I will expect more orders and more parties J. That's what keeps my stampin' world going around J. If you give Stampin' Up! just a bit, they will start sending out the current catalog with orders that are placed online starting February 1. That is an AWESOME deal for me and for you!!

Where have I been? I just figured out today that this is my first day home to work by myself in 4 weeks!! What has been going on? I spent a couple of days in the hospital around Christmas. I had a hysterectomy. Yeah! I guess, right? I have never talked to anyone who regrets doing that. My hope is that I will continue to feel better all the time. Then, little speckles started showing up on Allison. Guess what???? The chicken pox!! The kids are all now healed over and ready to face the world – the world of school and daycare. Man, how could 4 weeks just evaporate like that???? My hope is that as I continue to feel better, my blogging will pick up as well! I thought I would get a lot of creative things done since I wasn't allowed to do anything else. But, you know what, I was blah. Blah, blah, blah. No gumption to do anything. I didn't know that would happen! And, did you know that you can take a nap in the afternoon and still sleep the clock around at night? I have been told the tiredness lasts up to 6 months. How can that be?

Anyway, think of the happy day ahead. A new catalog is ALWAYS fun!!

Thanks for everything from each of you!! You truly are awesome!!

Sandy
