Good Morning – can you believe that it is July 1st  – YIKES….we have a winner…winner…Chicken Dinner!

My coffee was wonderful this morning reading through the comments! There were many of you that guessed it….the answer was Bakers Twine! There are 6 rolls/spools of Bakers Twine in that adorable bag and it is going to…….Beth Mills!!!

Ok Beth….put the lap top down….get up and DO IT….DO THAT DANCE and then when you sit down, email me with your address and I will send you the adorable bag and the 6 spools of Bakers Twine to get you in the Christmas in July mood!

In the Spirit of Christmas in July I will be having Blog Candy for you through the month to celebrate this theme! It will be fun to see your comments and also fun for me to be Santa to YOU!

Please continue to pop back and enjoy the good old fashion fun we have with my blog and if you ever need  a “pick-me-up” take a moment to read comments that my wonderful followers leave as they will make you laugh…they will lift you up and you will learn a tip or trick! I truly feel blessed with the “community” that we have!

Let’s get to the month Stampin’ Up! Business. There is a bunch going on and I hope that you are a sponge and are ready to soak it up! I have all of this scoop in a drop down tab on my Blog Header for you to easily revisit through the month for a quick reference!

When you have a great thing going….why not do it again!?!? Stampin’ Up! is bringing back Bonus Days in July! What does that mean???

With every $50 you spend during July, you’ll receive a $5 coupon to be redeemed in August.  Get ready to stand up and do that dance….the Happy Stampin’ Dance!  I look at it like this…Jammie shopping is the best and when you get a $5.00 coupon for every $50 you spend…that’s even better!

Have more questions??? CLICK HERE to read all of the Q & A’s about the program!

Now in the spirit of this fun theme…Stampin’ Up! is also offering a great opportunity for you to to be able to get a discount each and every-time you order. It is as easy as that!

When I say it’s a no brainer…I mean that – the best analogy that I can give you is….it is like going to Bed Bath & Beyond- when I go there I take one of those blue 20% off coupons because WHY NOT? I will take a 20% off discount on something that I need to purchase.

Whether you are a hobbiest (and do you realize that over 94% of SUD’s are hobbiest) or if you want to start a fun business for yourself….the opportunity is yours to take a test drive and if it is not for you….no worries…..just park your car!

I am a prime example of the reason I joined was to get a discount when the new catalog came out….and then I was leaving – (well we know….that didn’t happen). Look at the AMAZING incentive of super PRACTICAL products that Stampin’ Up! is throwing in with this Christmas in July promotion.

During July, you can join my team with a special Starter Kit offer.  Not only can you purchase the Starter Kit ($125 of YOUR CHOICE of product for only $99 and FREE SHIPPING), but you’ll also receive an Essentials Gift Pack:

To save you the trouble of “doing the math” the practical products that are in the Essentials Gift Pack are a value of $52.00 and the stamp is a $20.00 value.I look at it this way – how can you go wrong!?!?! Having someone give you a $72.00 value of practical goodies….yep, time to do that dance again!

• 114845 – D Block (two of them!)
• 130148 – Grid Paper
• 103579 – Paper Snips
• 104332 – SNAIL Adhesive
• 102300 – Bone Folder
• 144804 – Carols of Christmas Stamp Set (a newbie from the upcoming Holiday Catalog)

The whole concept of Christmas in July is all over the place in marketing but for us….we know what is next….YEP – THE HOLIDAY CATALOG! I have a secret….I will see the new catalog and ideas while I am in Thailand and yep, I am giddy about that!

As a SUD you will be able to preview the Holiday Catalog later this month but then you will be able to preorder items from that catalog starting August 1st. To me, that is a HUGE PERK as we all love to get our hands on it ASAP! This IS a great reason to take advantage of this promotion! CLICK HERE to get started!

Here is a peek of the Carols of Christmas Stamp Set that is in the Essentials Gift Pack! I just watched a video that was for SUD’s and I was amazed at the versatility of this….it is part of a bundle and you just wait until you see the framelits – all I can say is WOW!!!!

Seriously…..when I first saw this image I thought….ok – I like the sentiments…as they will make a fun statement but then the framelits….I did it – the happy dance and the dogs looked at me like I was nuts! (look below and you will see….yippee!!!!)

Whew…that’s it for today – I know a lot to take in but it is ALL GOOD STUFF!!!! I am thrilled that the Bonus Day Bucks are back….I feel like I am at Kohls when they do the $5.00 coupons for a purchase….YIPPEE-SKIPPEE…..shop away!

I hope that you have some fun things planned for the Holiday Weekend and I hope that you will pop back tomorrow as I will have my 1st Christmas Card for you….YIKES….really?!?!?  I think that you are going to like it a WATT!!! (our local Hobby Lobby already has Halloween and some Christmas stuff…just sayin’)
