There's a lot of fun in store for you this summer!  First – tomorrow the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog goes live!  You're gonna love it.  It's my favorite catalog so far – and I've seen a bunch!  Beginning at noon Mountain Time, you can place orders through me or online from the new catalog.

But wait…..there's more!  All through July, Stampin' Up! will be offering the "Deal of the Week."  It starts tomorrow – and demonstrators don't even know what the deal will be!  I'll post it here later tomorrow, but I won't get to blog until about 3 p.m. or so.  If you want breaking news, check my Stampin' Up! web site.  The information on this week's special will be there as soon as you can order – which will probably be about noon Mountain tomorrow because of the new catalog start time.  The other specials this month will begin at 10 a.m. Mountain.  And, again, you can order online on my web site – or call or e-mail me with your order.

But wait…..there's even more!  There's a mini starter kit that will be available July 15 – August 31.  For only $85, you'll get the following:

*All page numbers refer to the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog
**All products may be substituted for like items; see Mini Starter Kit order form for details.

You'll also get the same business supplies (8 catalogs, order forms, and stuff like that) that come with the regular starter kit.  It's a pretty sweet deal.  You'll get 20% off all orders, plus an extra 10% off your first qualifying order.  There's no obligation to hold workshops or sell products, but it is nice to share the addiction, um, I mean, fun, with friends.  And, of course, if you want to join and get the "regular" $199 starter kit, that's always available.  You can easily sign up online.  Just contact me for the password.

And there's even more!  Stampin' Up! is partnering with Country Living magazine again and offering a Country Living Summer Cookout Kit.

Here's the product number and what the kit contains:

For more information, go to my website and click "Shop Now."  You don't have to buy anything, just click on the "Specials" tab on the left side, then click the Country Living button.  That will bring up pictures of the stamp set and other components of the kit.  Of course, if you want to start shopping, that's fine too!

That's it for now.  I'm totally psyched about the new catalog merchandise.  So psyched, as a matter of fact, that I caved and ordered a couple more stamp sets and a punch.  So we'll be using Lots of 'Bots in July!

I'll bring you more news as I get it.  Have a great day!
