Hi everyone,

Well PHEW!!! What a busy (and exhausting) time it has been - but WHAT fun!

A team of eleven of us took turns on the Stampin' Up! stand at the Melbourne Craft & Sewing Show at Caulfield for 1, 2 or 3 days each over the last four days.  The show was great and we had stacks of visitors (thank you!!) to our stand, to check out the new Ideas Book & Catalogue and see all the lovely things we have been creating.

Several of our fellow demonstrators popped by to say "Hi" - hello Kim & Margaret - lovely to see that you were both able to make it to the show for a look.  And many of our favourite customers also stuck their heads in to see what we have been doing - Hi Marika, Sheila, Zoe, Vicki and our other friends who came by - we loved seeing you at the show!

What was popular on the stand this year?  Well, we sold several Big Shot die cutting machines, and a large number of our gorgeous Stampin' Up! punches in particular the Blossom Petals Builder Punch and the new Stocking Tag Punch which we were demonstrating with their co-ordinating stamp sets.

That's something that we love about Stampin' Up! - Stamped images that you don't have to cut out with scissors as there is a paper punch to do the job just right!

Have you tried our stamps and co-ordinating punches together yet?  If you haven't - you should! Why don't you ask me how today.
