My Open House Sequel which was originally scheduled for this Saturday is being RESCHEDULED. Sorry for any inconvenience! It will be rescheduled to a date later this summer, so please keep an eye here at www.yamstamps.com to see when the new date will be…if you are subscribed to my newsletter you will definitely receive notice.
Hope everyone is keeping cool! I am slated to ride in the Healing Cycle this weekend – my son & I will be biking 25 km and helping to raise funds for the Carpenter Hospice here in Burlington. The hospice provides end of life care, but also wellness programs and caregiver support.

I've decided to do a second Open House for the New Stampin' Up! Catalogue (and Retired Rubber Sale) – Saturday, June 23rd from 9am – 11am, here in Burlington, for those who were unable to attend my first Open House, or who just want to come and visit again ;) There may also be a few items on the Garage Sale table that weren't there last time….just saying…. Once again, I ask for an RSVP and you will receive a gift certificate equal to 10% of your Garage Sale purchases for you to use in July or August for classes or merchandise.
If you are in the area this weekend, I am putting in a plug for my choir concerts! I sing with Kokoro under the direction of Brenda Uchimaru, and we are going to be performing in Ancaster TONIGHT – Saturday, June 9th at 8pm at Ryerson United, and tomorrow at Duff 's Presbyterian Church (Highway 6 just north of the 403) at 3pm. We have a variety of a cappella and accompanied songs in a number of languages. Come watch me sing in Portugese, Balinese, Japanese, Finnish, Russian, and English…LOL! Tickets are available at the door!

Jun 4, 2012 | Announcements, Business Opportunity, specials

First things first – click on the image to download your electronic version of the new Stampin' Up 2012 catalogue! If you want the fancy flash version, click HERE instead.
I personally love the clean and artistic look of the new catalogue, not to mention all the new items inside!
As if the new catalogue isn't enough reason to celebrate, Stampin' Up! also has a couple of specials this month!!

For those starting a Stampin' Up! business in June, you'll receive extra bang for your buck! Not only is the totally customizable starter kit a great deal ($125 for $155 worth of product PLUS business supplies), for June, you'll get extra product in your kit! Each new demonstrator will receive items from the Pool Party suite of products – stamp set, designer series paper plus a DVD of digital design products for use with My Digital Studio (or a photo editing product).Click on the image to download the flyer with product images.
If you're interested in hearing more about the Stampin' Up! business opportunity, please RSVP for my Information Night, Monday, June 11th at 7:30 pm here in Burlington. If you're unable to make that evening, contact me to make alternate arrangements – we can chat by phone or set up another date to meet in person. I would love for you to join my growing team of demonstrators across Canada!

Next, for June and July, if you host a workshop, you could earn extra hostess dollars! Earn an additional $60 in hostess dollars if your workshop sales are $575 or more – so that means in total you'd have $150 hostess dollars to spend on product – plus you may select one item for 50% off! I have some dates available for you to take advantage of this special – contact me ASAP to book a private class for you and your friends.
Last but not least, once again, thank you to everyone who was able to make it to my new catalogue Open House and retired product sale. If you weren't able to attend, please contact me to arrange to get your complimentary copy of the new Stampin' Up! 2012 catalogue, or pick one up when you attend a class with me. Look forward to seeing you soon!!

The new Stampin' Up! Catalogue is now in effect! I love the clean, artistic look of it :) Ordering will not be available until noon Mountain time today, June 1st, but in the meantime, you can still look it over and start making your wish list 😉 Click on the image to download the pdf/reader version, or click on the text link above to go to the fancy flash version.
Of course, there's NOTHING like having the hard copy in your hands, so please RSVP and drop by my Open House TOMORROW from 1-3pm here in Burlington. You'll also have a chance to pick up some retired product, set a date for your own in home class and sign up for upcoming classes and clubs. Plus there's food, did I mention that?! LOL.
Apr 30, 2012 | Announcements, Seasonal Catalogue
April 30 is the last day to order from Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Mini Catalogue – however, there will be some items still available after today! Click HERE to download a copy of the list
The Blossom punch is one of the items on the list – but the Mixed Blossoms coordinating stamp set is NOT, so don't miss out on that one!! If you're in Canada, you can place your order here for delivery right to your door. Contact me if you have any questions.
Apr 25, 2012 | Announcements, Retired List
Stampin' Up! has let us know that the Paper Snips and Craft Scissors are NOT retiring, and were included on the list by mistake. These WILL be available in the new catalogue, so cross these off your lists! (Please note that there is no discount on the paper snips, either, since they are not retiring).
I will keep you posted as I'm able regarding availability of accessories.
