Weekly Deals Blow Out!

Every week Stampin’ Up! has been offering up great deals on some of their amazing products. Sadly,  Weekly Deal are coming to an end on April 18th.
While all good things must come to an end, when a door closes a window often opens. Ok enough with the aphorisms. Be sure to get in on these deals before they are gone.
Also while you’re cruising over there on the website check out the clearance rack which has just been updated.  If you’re ahead of the game and already working on your Christmas projects you’re going to love the latest updates! Also, I’m jealous because I’ve not even started Valentines Day yet and it’s April. #Slacker

Happy Mail

Project #HappyMail came to me as I went to our letterbox and picked out yet another piece of junk mail. Lost was the art of sending a card, a letter, anything that wasn’t trying to sell you something, convert your religion or prove that their pizza was, in fact the best in the area.I remembered the days I used to run home after school (no kidding, I never ran, I was a chubby kid), just to see if there was a cassette tape (if you’re under 40google it), from my Gran and uncle in England. It was our main means of communication.  Phone calls were hard to co-ordinate with a 5 hour time difference and far too costly to conduct a lengthy conversation about the minutia of  everyday life. My Gran was the kind of person that would answer the phone and say, hang on, love while I put the kettle on.
I decided to take it upon myself to single handedly change the world, not really, but at least change a few people’s lives. I’m sending out cards to folks in my circle reminding them how incredible they are and how lucky I am to have them in my life. The best part is they can keep it going as each #HappyMail package has another card and a stamped envelope in that they can pass onto someone else.
I’ll be selling these #happymail packages in the new future so you can do the same thing! Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, what can you do to make the world a better place?
