Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

Firstly appologies to the blog hoppers trying to hop in sequence - I was given the wrong information and that it was to start tomorrow - but all fixed now!!!! Sale-a-bration is a wonderful annual sale from Stampin' Up! that gives you the opportunity to get FREE stamp sets. This year there are four wonderful sets to choose from and I have used Whimiscal Words in my examples below.  This is the first blog hop I have participated in and the second that has been organised by Leonie Shroder for a terrific Stampin' Up! demonstrators group that I now belong to called ESAD (extra special Australian and New Zealand demonstrators) this group has over three hundred members from all over Australia and New Zealand. It is a great forum for sharing  ideas and tips, answering questions and queries and providing support for each ther. If you would like to join the group and you are a Stampin'Up! demonstrator you can visit the home page here and click the join now button.

Of course if you would like to earn these stamp sets for free or host a workshop during Sale-a-bration and live in Perth, please don't hesitate to contact me or check out my Stampin' Up! website for class information if you are interested joining in the fun!
