New Year!

Hello Stampers,

Happy New Year – I can’t believe it’s 2007.  Holy cow Batman.  I love the holidays but it’s always nice to get back to "normal"…whatever that means. LOL

I love January because it’s the start of Stampin’ Up’s Sell-A-Bration event.  What is Sell-A-Bration?  It’s a promotion that runs each year from January 1 – February 26 and rewards customers with a free limited edition stamp set for each $75 in purchases…purchase $150 and you get 2 FREE sets of your choice, $225 you get 3 FREE sets and so on.  Go to my website at www.asolven.stampinup.net and c lick on the link to take you to the online Sell-A-Bration Mini catalogue.

I’m getting ready for my Annual Open House for  Sell-A-Bration – this year it’s on Saturday, January 13th – if you live in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver and want to attend please contact me at alisonsolven@telus.net to reserve your space.  We have literally 100’s of displays and you are welcome to bring your camera to remember the ideas.  We’ll have draw prizes, make n’ takes and much more…including a garage sale of retired stamps and accessories – and they are being sold off at huge discounts.

Frequently, demonstrators participate in card "swaps" – this month I’ve joined with 23 other  demos in a Sell-A-Bration swap.  I made 24 of this card using the Happy Harmony SAB set and in return I’ll receive 23 different cards from the other participants.  It’s a great way to get lots of new ideas to share with my customers.

I hope this year brings you much happiness, good health and happy stamping!  Thanks to my many loyal customers for making 2006 another successful business year for me…I’m getting ready soon for my fourth cruise with Stampin’ Up! – this time it’s the Panama Canal in April.  I can’t wait!

Cheers,

Alison
