HAPPY NEW YEAR! & Stampin' Up! Updates



I hope you all were able to spend some time with family or friends during the holidays.  It's been pretty quiet here. It's taken me a couple of years, but I'm slowly getting used to it.  I actually put up my Christmas trees and some decorations this year!  It made me feel better so it was worth it.  There's something about Christmas lights that makes me happy.

I want to be one of the first to wish you


I hope 2019 proves to be a great year for us all!



Ok! On to the Stampin' Up! updates!

 NEW "JOIN STAMPIN' UP!" PROMOTION

Some of you would LOVE to get the Stampin' Up! demonstrator discount but just don't want to actively sell.  You can be your only customer! YES! YOU CAN DO THAT!
That is what I originally intended to do over 11 years ago! I wanted that discount!   

YOU choose your kit products so you can choose items that you don't have. 
All of your personal product sales count towards your sales - even the pre-order items and special items we get to order before they are released!
If you decide at any time, you don't want the discount any more, you can quit being a demonstrator. 

I know - Blah! Blah! Blah!      Keep reading though! 😎

Stampin' Up! offers promotions for new demonstrators who join at various times during the year but there is ALWAYS a great one during Sale-A-Bration. 
This begins on January 3. 


AND keep reading to the bottom of this post to see what I am adding to this promotion for everyone who joins my Coastal Stampede Crafters team during Sale-A-Bration!
 

If you join my Stampin' Up! demonstrator team, you will still have the perks of all of my events in my craft room PLUS you'll have my support as your upline to help you with any demonstrator business assistance.   I'm always available to assist you as a customer or as one of my downline demonstrators.

Have you brought customers into my business?  Those friends can choose to purchase their Stampin' Up! products through you!  

If you would like to have an official Stampin' Up! workshop in your home or other location and invite your friends to let them know that you are now a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I'll be glad to help you with that. 

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, YOU decide how much or how little you want to do with it as a hobby or as a business. You can even be your only customer like I was originally!

You all know that I'm not a hard core "recruiter", but I do need to let you know about the promotions. A lot of you buy enough to make my quarterly minimums so those purchases could be YOUR quarterly minimums.

Below is the flyer Stampin' Up! has made about the promotion

This promotion begins January 3






MY Addition to the Promotion!
 I will be giving one of the AWESOME totes pictured below to everyone who joins my Coastal Stampede Crafters team during Sale-A-Bration!   It collapses & zips around to put away for storage but is a large size tote when opened!  
This tote was an exclusive item that was given to demonstrators at the Stampin' Up! Convention in November!

With my addition to the promotion, my new team members can get TWO Fantastic Stampin' Up! Totes to Carry Your Stampin' Up Supplies!

To join Stampin' Up! or to just find out all the full details, CLICK HERE
To sign up and order your demonstrator kit, you just fill out the form after you click on the link and check out the information.

This promotion does not begin until January 3

Batten Down The Hatches-Hurricane Florence

Go Away Florence!



Hurricane Florence is a Category 4.  It is moving very slowly so when it hits, it will be here for over 24 hours - possibly up to 36 hours.  I was not worried over Bertha & Fran or any of the others even though some were category 3's. This one has me worried. 

Living on or near the coast has it's assets, but this is the one huge negative.  We've not had a big hurricane since we moved 14 miles inland 16 years ago.  I guess we were due.  Did it have to be a category 4 though!?  Geez!

We definitely have to cancel our Open Stamping & Photo Album Day for Saturday.
Power is sure to be out for a while. As soon as it is back on and I have updates on the surrounding areas, I'll email my local customers to let them know the date we can get together.


I hope everyone is safe through the hurricane and has no major damage.  Please check in with me by text when you can after the storm has cleared and let me know you are ok.  
I'll be worried about you guys. 

**If you are NOT evacuating, please post below so that I know you are staying in the area.**
