Happy New Year!

I hope your holidays (whichever ones you celebrate) were filled with happiness, family, friends and good times.  It's now time for us to get back to our routines, or maybe even create new routines.  It's the time of year when many of us look ahead, do a little self-evaluation and figure out what we want to accomplish in the new year.  In the stamping world, it's a busy time of year.  Stampin' Up! has launched a new 2015 Occasions catalog, filled with stamps, papers, products and embellishments that will carry us from Valentine's Day through Father's Day - with many items for in-between.

I came across this image on Pinterest and really fell in love with it.  It's not the typical resolutions which focus on the negative (lose weight, throw out old things, stop bad habits, etc), but rather on the positive - enjoying being yourself.  Of course, I noticed that THREE of the suggestions list things we already do: make time for creativity, send handwritten (and I presume handmade) thank you notes and send snail mail.  Looks like we are doing it right!
What is this Sale-a-bration you keep talking about?
Image
Sale-A-Bration is a sale that lasts from January 6 - March 3.  There are three ways to take advantage of the sale.  Shop: for every $50 in product you purchase, you get to choose an item from the exclusive Sale-a-bration catalog (stamp sets, papers, embellishment packs, Project Life cards, AND Blendability Marker packs.  Host: hostesses that have a party/workshop which totals $250 or more, will earn an additional $25 on top of the regular hostess dollars.  Join: if you purchase the Starter Kit, you can choose either a free Project kit from the 2015 Occasions catalog or two Sale-a-bration items.  I've listed other perks below, so read on and take advantage of this once a year sale.

** No items in the Sale-a-bration catalogs will be seen in any future Stampin' Up! catalogs - they are truly exclusive to this catalog.
