Having a bit of a break

Hello All,

March has been a much quieter month... and after the hectic pace of February, that's been a welcome change. Not that Im complaining... it was wonderful to have so many workshops. And I would like to thank all my customers for helping me reach some wonderful incentive goals in February.

Stampin'Up! are a lovely company to work for. Apart from the generous commission structure, they also seem to really appreciate their demonstrators. All of the demonstrators were sent a lovely new stamp set (from the new catalogue due out next month) to say "Thanks" in January. And I was proud to reach my 3rd "Stampin' Start" goal in February. That means that in return I get a total of 15 free stamp sets for reaching that target. (I've picked out and received 5 so far). Also, we were rewarded for reaching Sales Targets in the Sellabration period (Jan - Feb) and so I was lucky enough to get another 4 sets for that too. I haven't chosen those ones yet - I'm waiting for the new catalogue so that I can choose brand new ones. Hooray! I just love this business!

So why are things quiet right now? Well, firstly because I decided to have a bit of a rest. But also because everyone is going a bit crazy for the new catalogue - and everyone wants their workshops after April 2 - and who can blame them! So I'm expecting April to be a busy month. Having said that, I am taking a week's break with my family in Coffs Harbour for the first week of April. It will be lovely to get away.

If there's anyone reading this who would like to book a workshop please contact me by leaving a comment on this page, or alternatively you may reach me at higgiz@bigpond.com. For anyone who has never been to a workshop, it's a great way to check out all the wonderful things that Stampin'Up has to offer. Small groups work best... 6 - 8 are the perfect numbers, although 4 is fine too. You will all get to make a couple of projects - most often these are cards or boxes or scrapbook pages - it just depends on what you would like to do. The nice thing is that everyone gets to go home with something that they have made, and Im happy to say that lots of people tell me how much fun they have had. For the hostess there is the added incentive of receiving free products and gifts, so that is always popular!

Dont forget that April is filling up fast, so let me know if you need me to book you in!

Finally, I've been playing with "Trifold Cards" lately and have posted one here so that you can have a look.
