Thank you to everyone who reached out to ask about the silence on my blog over the past 3 weeks. As you know, I was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and was fighting the fatigue that came with the radiation therapy. As that was supposed to be wearing off, it became clear that my thyroid medication had been affected and I was hit with fatigue from that. So I’ve spent a lot of the past 3 weeks either asleep or almost horizontal with my nose in a book. Sitting up at my computer was tiring and I had no energy for creating. I’ve started dreaming about making cards so I think my brain is ready to get back to it. I’m hoping that my body is too! So, bear with me as I try to get back to normal service!

Stampin’ Up!’s year starts today on October 1st and they are pushing the boat out to start it with some excitement! Firstly, World Card-making Day is 7th October and to celebrate, there’s 15% off notecards and selected stamp sets but the thing I’m most excited about is fast fuse. If you buy a fast fuse, you get TWO free refills. That’s $25 worth of product for $10. And you can buy as many as you like (just not as stampin’ rewards if you want the free refills). Just click on the banner below to see the details.

As if this wasn’t enough, there’s another offer that runs the full month and it’s all about paper!

The Merry Patterns offer also runs through the end of this month – an order of $300 nets you this set on top of all other rewards. Gather some friends together and get your free set. I got mine last week and plan to play with it today. It’s gorgeous.

And finally, news which has demonstrators very excited. Stampin’ Up! is releasing alcohol markers and we are able to purchase them from now until October 15th. The expectation is that they will be available to customers before the end of the year – they want to see how the demonstrators order to be sure to have enough stock. Click on the picture below to see the colours and the kit and stamp set which will be released along with the Stampin’ Blends. If you join the Stampin’ Up! family as a demo before October 15th, you’ll be able to order these too!

So to sum up:

1. 15% off card making essentials
2. Buy 3 get one free DSP
3. Merry Patterns free host set
4. Stampin’ Blends.

Exciting times, right? It definitely helped me get out of bed and to the computer!
