It's that time of year again….Stampin' Up! will be releasing its list of retiring stamps and accessories this Wednesday, April 24th. Usually, accessories are available while supplies last, only. Stamps are usually available until the last day for ordering from the current catalogue – in this case, June 3rd. I will let you know if something changes this year.
TIME FOR THE CONTEST!!
Every year, Stampin' Up! retires stamp sets and accessories to make room for fun new product! This year, the stamp set and accessories list will be released on April 24th.
Email me a list of the TEN stamp sets that you believe will be on the Stampin' Up! Retiring List. Act quickly – this contest ends on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6pm. The person with the most correct guesses will win a $20 gift certificate from me to be used during May! EVERY person that enters will receive $5 off their May order of $50 or more.
The fine print: Do NOT include any hostess sets, seasonal catalogue sets or wheels. In the case of a tie, I'll do a random drawing for a winner. Stampin' Up! demonstrators not eligible for this contest. Sorry, this contest only open to Canadian entrants. Gift certificate and discount coupons only good through me. I reserve the right to close the contest if the list gets leaked early!

OK, well not a national sports team….but still a team…
I was fortunate enough to be selected to be part of "Team Canada" for Stampin' Up! Canada. An initiative by Dale Hampshire, Manager of Stampin' Up! Canada, the group was formed to help address the question "How can we make being a demonstrator more rewarding for Canadians?"
I'm honoured to be part of this team of demonstrators from all levels all over Canada – we had an orientation meeting the other evening, and it was great to get together with other demos from the area and start some brainstorming. The enthusiasm in the room was very contagious, as it always seems to be when a group of demonstrators gets together.
There's 150 demonstrators on the team, a number of whom I'm already familiar with, and I'm looking forward to meeting other members as we work on various projects. In the meantime, though, I've got to finish up my tax paperwork to get to the accountant! (This is ALWAYS the time of year that I kick myself for not being more organized….and for procrastinating!!!). This is not the kind of paperwork I enjoy…
If you are looking at picking up some retiring colour product, you should NOT procrastinate – a number of the reinkers are already sold out, as is Not Quite Navy cardstock. When supplies are limited, your best bet is to place your order online! If you have any questions, though, please contact me.
More excitement in May as well – I'm finalizing my date for my annual new catalogue open house which features the always popular rubber garage sale – retired crafting product going at a great price! Keep watching here for the announcement of the date, or subscribe to my newsletter to be sure not to miss it!
