Tender and catalogue launch

Continuing on with a few more pics from the cruise.  Thanks for your feedback on your enjoyment of them!

We saw some beautiful sunsets on the cruise - I don't think I have been in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight since I was in grade 7!

 

When we arrived at Cannes, France there was no cruise terminal (and see, Gold Coast, we managed OK without it!) We were taken to shore on tenders - the only time you want to find yourself in a lifeboat!  Here is our ship from the shore.  The water was an amazing colour.  I heard it described as 'slurpy blue' which was pretty accurate.

 

Who has seen To Catch a Thief?  We loved seeing these set ups of seats along the beachfront.

 

The streets of Cannes were so pretty and we were there not long after the film festival!  This looks surprisingly calm but it was pretty busy.

 

And who has seen this Hotel in movies?

 

 

And I found someone famous!!  Famous in my Stampin' Up! world at least!  This is Mary Fish.   She is a very successful demonstrator in the U.S.  She was on the ship but I didn't run into her there - I ran into her in the main street of Cannes.  I had just eaten a lemon crepe which dripped out of its wrapper and down the leg of my pants.  I was feeling daggy before this incident - everyone in Cannes was so nicely dressed!  Mary was oh so elegant too and graciously agreed to a photo.  I hope she didn't notice my pants!  Mary was the first blog I fell in love with.  Her stamping style is unique. My husband laughs that I have to 'check in with Mary' every day.  You can find her blog HERE

 

 

And just this past weekend, I held a launch for the new Stampin' Up! catalogue!

 

I love these events and the chance to show my customers new products and techniques.  We combined the catalogue launch with Australia's Biggest Morning/Afternoon Tea.

 

Welcome.....

 

 

 

Sending some love....anyone who has been to any of my events would know Betty-Lou.  She has been in hospital so we wrote messages of support for her and I assembled them into a banner.

 





My sister sewed SU! fabric into these beoootiful zippered pouches which I offered as an incentive for anyone who placed an order or joined up.

 

 

As always, we had a raffle of lovely 'stuff' donated by Stampin' Up!

 

 

And a display of samples using the new products.

 

 

And Lucky Door Prizes!  It's fun dressing these up.

In all we did five make and takes.  This was a simple one using the Jar of Love stamp set and framelits and Copper Embossing Folder.

 

 

Phew!  How was that for an update?

 

Need a catalogue?  Let me know and I will get one to you - email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com

 

And don't forget our two great offers this month.  Joining up is ALWAYS a great deal.  I have had a record number of ladies join my team this year!  In June you get the great deal AND you get two free stamp sets AS WELL!

Launch Love

On Saturday January 30th  I had a great day holding my launch of the Stampin' Up! Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogues. 27 ladies came along to check out new products and have a play.

We had five make and takes.

 

I always clear off my bookshelf and have a display.  Thanks Ang and Maree for your contributions.

 



We revisited the Envelope Punch Board using the Shine On DSP.  Loved this DSP - it's cardstock weight and its colours are very vivid.

 

Playing with the new Big Shot Die Brush - perfect for the Love Blossoms Thinlit.

Make and take using the Balloon Celebration stamp set.

I tuck people into every nook and cranny in my house.  This is just inside my front door.  Keep working ladies!!

And out on the front deck - one of the cooler places to be.  It was a HOT day.

 

As usual we had a raffle both morning and afternoon.  We raised a total of $182 which will go to the children's ward of the Gold Coast Hospital.

 

And take a look at this delivery.....  Here is a bunch of products I have ordered with some of the money raised from our Christmas Charity Workshop in November. 

This will be used to another Footprint Card box and three card making kits for John Flynn Hospital.  A workshop coming soon where YOUR help is needed.

And the good thing about ordering all these goodies now??  We get SAB benefits!  Some FREE stamp sets which will become lucky door prizes and raffle prizes at our next CCW plus some other freebees for the kits.

And look at this - my sister always comes down to give me a hand with my launch.  I have the whole lounge room and dining room set up for make and takes and displays, as well as outside on the deck - five locations in all.  My sister went around at the end and gathered everything, cleaned my stamps and put them away, grouped everything, cleaned up rubbish etc etc.

 

Here it is, all sorted and ready on the most out-of-the-way table for me to put away in my own time.  Isn't she a gem???

 

 

 



Don't forget that until the end of March, for every $90 you order you will get a FREE Sale-a-Bration item!

 

It's also a great time to JOIN!  For more info on that click HERE!

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Catalogue links are on the left.  For a paper copy, let me know!
