Stampin' Up is running a promotion from now until February 10.  When you sign up for My Paper Pumpkin before February 10, Stampin' Up will send you a set of 2012-2014 In Color Stampin' Write Markers for FREE!  And who doesn't like free?  The markers will be included with your first shipment.

If you have been thinking about My Paper Pumpkin, but weren't sure, some customers in Houston had a chance over the weekend to preview some of the new sets coming up.  Here is a comment from one of them, as relayed by her demo:


"She said she could tell by the monthly displays that the kits were getting nicer and the SU staff that was there told her that they really listened to demonstrator feedback and have started putting more conte
nt in the kits.  She was impressed.  And, she is a seasoned stamper and a teacher."

And the comments from the demos that recently attended Leadership have all been positive.  Every person says the new kits are much improved.....and that the March kit is not to be missed!

So, now is the time to give My Paper Pumpkin a try!  And to sweeten the pot, when you sign up and select me (Melanie Coverston) as your demo, I will send you a $15.00 gift certificate to use on any order you place with me after your third month as a My Paper Pumpkin customer.  Simply go to http://www.mypaperpumpkin.com to get started!

You Mean the World to Me!

Greetings!  Today was a bitterly cold day here....and we had a little snow overnight.  Just enough snow to make the roads very treacherous for the morning commute.  It was a perfect day to stay inside and stamp all day, but no, to the office I went.  I'm so ready for warmer weather!

My Paper Pumpkin!

If you have been reading my blog for the past week or so, you are well aware that Stampin Up! is running a promotion for new subscribers to get a pack of In Color 2012-2014 Stampin' Write Markers with their new subscription.  
And you also know that those who have had a sneak peak at the next couple month's packages are really impressed with the way Stampin' Up! has stepped up the projects!

My little orange box with January's project arrived in the mail on Saturday.  Here are the contents of the box:

The kit included the project (a set of "Love Notes", the stamps, a stampin' spot, and a free surpise..a package of In Color Boutique Details in the 2013-2015 colors!!!  Yippee....who doesn't love a surprise?!?!

I made up a couple of the cards to share:



So cute!  And true to the Paper Pumpkin premise, they are really quick and easy to assemble!

I'm also sharing the cards that are part of the Starter Kit.  Everyone gets this kit as their first when they sign up.


  

I bet you've seen the "hey there friend" stamp on cards....it has become a favorite of customers and demos.

A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month, plus tax (where applicable), with no additional shipping charges.   And, should Paper Pumpkin not be for you, you can cancel at any time.  Cancellations have to be received by the 10th of the month to avoid receiving that month's project.

So, why not give it a try?  Simply go to  http://www.mypaperpumpkin.com to get started!  And if you select me, Melanie Coverston, as your demonstrator, I will send you a $15.00 gift certificate to use on any order you place with me after your third month as a My Paper Pumpkin customer.

If there is anything I can do for you, or if you have any questions, please send me an email.
