I can't believe I'm running out of January! There was so much I wanted to share, but I was too busy being sick or crafting. I'll wrap up three things in one post though!
First things first, it's time to Sale-A-Brate! I could not wait to put my order in on January 3rd. Sale-A-Brate is more than a great time to join Stampin' Up, it's a fun time to earn bonus stamps and paper. I can't wait to make something with my Lovely Friend set. There are two reward levels at $60 and $120 purchases, so now might be a good time to stock up on supplies for a year of card making and card giving :-) One of the products I have my eye on is the Mixed Medallions set. Check out the Sale-A-Bration brochure.
Woohoo! Stampin' Up has been around 30 years. That's quite a milestone for many companies. With my last order I received this lovely pin. I was looking over some of my older SU catalogues and it's fascinating how trends come and go in the crafting world. I used to work at a Canadian craft store chain, Lewiscraft, and someone there told me that crafts are always on a ten year cycle. Maybe that has shrunk since the advent of YouTube and Pinterest - a lot of crafts seem pretty evergreen these days. I registered for OnStage in April and I can't wait - it's going to be a great time!
January might be a great time to start goals, but remember you can start goals any time of the year. I jotted down six things I wanted to accomplish this month and one of them was to create an Instagram account. One of the things that was stopping me is that I did not have a stamp that said "hello" for my first post. How ridiculous is that? Problem solved with the Eastern Beauty stamp set. This set is actually quite versatile and you can make a lot of cool repeating patterns with it.
