Christmas in July.

Anyone but papercrafters dread this time of year, when already buisnesses start preparing for the holiday season. Who really wants to think of Santa, snow & shopping list when it's 100 degrees outside? For us, we LOVE to start thinking about it, the earlier the better--more time to work on projects for the holidays! Especially with CHA revealing all the goodies to come, && Stampin Up's holiday mini starting August 1st, I am SO excited to start thinking about my holiday cards, gifts & decorations :]

Today, I want to share some of the NEW Stampin Up holiday items & celebrate it with my Christmas in July event! If you're close to me, soon it'll be time to preview all of my upcoming SU classes, or if you're a little farther away, I can get you a kit if you like what you see! ALL of you will be receiving the Holiday Mini catalog sometime in the nextt week if you're on my mailing list! [If you aren't but would like to be, let me know!]

Of course with any event, there are SPECIALS as well! Get 20% off ANY holiday product, including the new catalog. Place an order before August 10th & spend 50+, get a FREE holiday set. HOST a workshop & get a SECOND set FREE with any party with over a $150 in sales-- this can even include a book party for the out of towners!-- & this is ON TOP of the special promo from Stampin Up next month, which hasn't been announced yet! What a perfect time to order what you need for your holiday projects?!
