A new batch of "Deals of the Week" has been announced!

Item	Page	Description	Regular Price	Sale Price
119750	137	Daffodil Delight 5/8'' (1.6 cm) Satin Ribbon	$16.95	$11.87

These products are only available at this price until close of business on Tuesday May 24 so get your order in quick.

And what a coincidence ... I was thinking just last night that the Rhinestone Brads would be perfect for the little project I was playing with. Sadly I don't have any (not yet anyway - I certainly will after this week!) and had to make do with beads - I hope to photograph it tonight and post it shortly.

I have no excuse ...

Yes, I have absolutely no excuse whatsoever for not updating my blog as frequently as I should.

I did attend the Stampin' Up! Convention (conveniently held in Melbourne this year) just last weekend, although that really only accounts for four days out of the last 45 or so in which this blog has lain unattended.

So I will be getting out the dustbuster, cleaning up the cobwebs and putting some new pictures up shortly.

In the meantime, I would love to share with you all the news and sneak peeks from Convention, but I am sworn to secrecy for most of it! And because I can't remember which bits I can and can't share, I will just not tell you any of it until after June 1st ... can you wait that long?

While you're waiting, keep checking back on my Specials page ... Stampin' Up! are running Deals of the Week during May, which (as the name suggests) change each week - so get in while you can!

Fundraiser Rescheduled

Just to let you know that due to unforeseen circumstances, Denise has had to postpone her proposed fundraiser (see my last post) until May 6th at 7pm ... keep an eye out here or at her blog for further details.

Fundraising News!

Sorry about my absence recently! It's been a few weeks, for which I have absolutely no excuse. I even have some cards to post, but I just haven't got around to photographing them to load them up here.

I just popped in to let you know about a fundraiser my friend and fellow demonstrator Denise is running next weekend. Her home town of Charlton was inundated with the floods earlier this year, and many of her friends are still recovering. She and a couple of other demonstrators have banded together to run a fun afternoon of make & takes in order to raise a bit of money to help them get back on their feet. You can check out the details at her blog over at JodieMay Creations.

Vintage Style

I've had this set for some time now, and I can't believe it's taken this long for it to see some ink! It's a Level One hostess set, which means that you can't buy it, but you can earn it for FREE with either a $300 plus order or a $300 plus workshop.

And the beauty of the set? It coordinates with some of the exclusive Stampin' Up! punches, as shown here. I have gone for a soft, vintage feel which suits the style of the stamps, and opted to layer an embossed piece over a background stamped with En Francais (I've been giving my background stamps some love lately *g*).

Who knew that Perfect Plum and Crumb Cake would work so well together?

Supplies used:
Stamp/s: Punch Potpourri, En Francais
Ink: Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla
Other: Boho Blossoms Punch, Full Heart Punch, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
