December Newsletter

Hello December!

As I sit in my chair writing to you, my wood stove is blazing and there is snow falling for the first time outside. I love a light snow in December to put me in the right mood for approaching Christmas.  Yesterday, my daughter and I did a little shopping and then I went to a local church concert who sang and played beautiful Christmas music.  And later today, after I give the house a good vacuum, we'll pull out the boxes of Christmas decorations. I am not completely ready for Christmas to come, but I am getting there and hope to avoid the craziness that sometimes arrives.  Are you prepared for the hustle and bustle?  Be sure to take time for yourself, your family and friends.  And, I have a few ideas for you and your gift giving to make it a little easier.


Gift Certificates
Give the gift of Stampin' Up!  I have gift certificates for you to purchase in any amount for you to give as a gift.  Or, have someone gift a gift certificate to you (just pass along this information to the giver of your choice).  Just send me a check in the amount that you wish to give and I will mail the gift certificate to you (or I can mail it to the recipient too).  Christine Josti, 3 School Street, Norwell, MA 02061.

A great time to redeem these gift certificates (there is no expiration) is during the upcoming Sale-a-bration (Jan. 4 - March 31).  With every $50 spent in Stampin' Up! products, you choose a free product from an exclusive catalog.  
Card Kits Available
I have a 4 Oh Happy Day Card Kits and 5 Watercolor Wishes Card kits here in my studio available for purchase for a special Holiday price (surplus kits from my craft shows).  Each kit is $35 (no charge for tax or shipping) and you will receive a bonus Snail Adhesive for free.  Please let me know if you would like one of these kits and we'll make arrangements for you to pick them up.
Adhesive Kits
I've put together some adhesive kits that are available for purchase for $25.  These are great for the beginner crafter, or for you to take to class with you (you won't ever have to worry about forgetting your adhesive with this box).  Kits include a (free) case that holds a Snail adhesive, refill adhesive, Multipurpose glue, box of glue dots and one sheet of dimensionals. 
Give the Gift of Paper Pumpkin
You can buy a prepaid subscription (3, 6 or 12 months) and give it as a gift. Just purchase the prepaid subscription HERE and when you receive the redemption code, share it with the recipient of your choice who can redeem the subscription at PaperPumpkin.com . We even have a gift card that you can print and slip in a card. One thing to keep in mind is that the redemption codes will only work in the USA.
Did you know?
I recently discovered that Fast Fuse refills are recyclable.  I was so excited with this discovery because I use so much adhesive.  Now I can feel a little bit better about recycling my Fast Fuse refill instead of throwing it away.
