Happy Sale-A-Bration!
We are beginning the second month of Sale-A-Bration, which has been cited as the best time of year.  Many of you have received free items already and I'm so happy for you - who doesn't love earning great free products.  There are a couple more ways to earn free products in addition to the free items in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  Host a party - hostesses earn even more during Sale-A-Bration.  I would love to demonstrate and make cards with you and your friends.  Purchase a Starter Kit - choose $155 of products and pay only $99! I have a great team of women who purchased their Starter Kits weeks to years ago and love being part of the Stampin' Up! family.  You can join for the discount only, to meet new people, take my discounted classes, business opportunity, and so many other reasons.   I promise you'll love it.  Would you like to see some ideas to put in your Starter Kit?  Click Here.
Save the Date - March 4
I am hosting an Open House on Saturday, March 5 between 10 - 1 pm.  I will have stations set up throughout my house for you to make cards and try out Stampin' Up! products.  This is a free event and a great way to give stamping a try.  Bring a friend with you and I promise you both will fall in love with this type of crafting.  No experience necessary.
EARLY BIRD RSVP - Be the first 12 people to RSVP yes to my open house and you will receive a gift from me

Product of the Month - Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies
I thought I would choose an item that I both love AND one that was on sale this week.  The Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies (to be used with your Big Shot) is on sale this week (last day Feb. 8) for $30 (regularly $40).  Through the magic of Pinterest, I found ways to make my treat bags wider, longer, shorter and skinnier than the die cuts.  There are great dies included in addition to the treat bag dies - a very versatile product that can be used for almost any occasion. #137547.

Have you "Liked" Mail Something Pretty on Facebook Yet?
It's really easy to do - Click Here - and you'll be brought right to my page.
I post photos of cards, tips, links, videos, sales & promotions, and all sorts of helpful information.  I also invite you to write and comment on my page too - a great way to have a question answered or a little conversation.

I would love to host Facebook events too - online parties, online Bingo, etc and you can't participate unless you "like" the page.
Hello Life Project Kit
This project kit was designed to decorate your wall with banners and photos (ps. 131 & 153  of the annual catalog).  But, there's so much more you can do with it.  I made this kit and have it hanging on my wall (and love looking at it).  I couldn't believe the amount of left over pieces when I finished.  I plan on turning them into cards and tags like the ones below.  Or, don't make the kit at all and turn all of the kit supplies into cards, treats & tags (use the frame to display cards you receive from friends).  To see the directions on how to make the cards, treats & tags, click on the links and print.  The project kit is $25 #137949 and the coordinating photopolymer Hello Life stamp set is $25 #137136.

Or, you can plan a private class with some girl friends and you can each make your own using my stamps & inks.  All we need to do is choose a date.

The Starter Kit is the BEST Deal Around
Normally, the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit is a great deal - but during Sale-A-Bration, it's the  greatest deal around.  Why?  For only $99, you get to choose any products worth $155 and receive free shipping.  This is an amazing savings!  This sale is only good until March 31.   In addition to this great deal, any future orders will be discounted at 20-25% (as long as you are in active status).  I also discount my classes for team members.  Interested?  Have any questions?  I'm happy to discuss, chat, text and encourage.  There is no risk and no obligation, just opportunity and potential.  Click Here for a link to purchase your Starter Kit.
