... A break in transmission ... and SALE-A-BRATION

Phew!  That was a big break.  Through no fault of my own, stuff happened over December/early January which kind of took over here in casa del McLucas :-)  Sadly, stamping hasn't really been a priority (not that it is around here over summer - too hot for me *sigh*).

But I'm still here!  Ready to update you on the latest at Stampin' Up!  With apologies for the Lost Month of January, of course.

First up, it's Sale-A-Bration time!  Between now and the end of March 2014, spend $90 and receive a FREE Sale-A-Bration product.  Spend another $90 and get another!  Do this a couple more times and you also qualify for Hostess Benefits!  And during Sale-A-Bration, these benefits are bumped up if your order/party goes over $500.  It's win-win :-)

You could even join the Stampin' Up! family during the Sale-A-Bration period and for the low price of $169 you can get up to $255 worth of merchandise as well as all the business supplies you need to start off - this is an extra $20 on the usual value of merchandise.

Anyway, take a quick look at the items for sale over at my Online Store, or check out the PDF of the flyer at the Stampin' Up! website.
