FF@F'o'clock! 23rd Nov, 2018!

NewFFatFoclockNov2018

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday. No matter where you are in the world, most people look forward to Fridays, I know I do because it means my hubby is home for the weekend and we can catch up on so much we missed with each other during the week.  He keeps such long hours and with a massive commute over to the far east of Sydney, it's a long trek for him.

This week I'm doing something a little different.  I'm going to share with you a video I made to show you a lot of the gorgeous swaps I received at the recent Melbourne conference I attended.  It's so hard to thank everyone personally and it's taken me til now to get things sorted, places found for new products as well as get journeys up to my father's place and back fitted in.  So grab a cuppa and enjoy what I am showing you all.

I am heading back up to Dad's for 2 days next week.  He goes for the scans to see if the radiation treatment he's just undergone for lung cancer has helped. So far, apart from a cold, he said he's feeling fine.

If you are the praying kind, please keep my Daddy in your prayers. And me for that fact. It's a long drive up there, then almost 2/3's of the way back to get him to the hospital he has to go to then back up to his place again.  I drove it in one day yesterday and my goodness, there's so many road works going on that it was a bit hairy scarry in some places. What's with truckies and some nutbar drivers thinking they can speed through the 80k/hr construction zones?  They can all bite me coz I'm not jeopordizing my driving record so they can get some where faster.  They can pay the fines and loose their licenses, not me!

Anywhoooo, here's the video and below are a couple of still shots too. Yes my desk was swamped  ;-)

OnStage Melbourne 10th Nov 2018!

Welcome everyone to a mid week post filled with lots of exciting news!


Firstly I have to say many happy returns to my dear son Benjamin on his birthday today!  27yrs ago you came into your father's and my lives bring so much fun and joy.  We are so proud of the man you have become and look forward to celebrating your engagement and marriage to your beautiful Kat and new son, Aiden!  An instant family.  It takes a special man to become an instant father to a little boy.  We know how much he adores you as we know you do him. We have to say we are so happy to have a daughter and a grandson now and look forward to another baby in maybe the not so distant future!

Soooooo where has Wirgie been lately?  Well, when last Friday's FF@F blog post went live, and I hope you liked it,  I was in Melbourne checking in to our hotel for the weekend.  I'd scheduled it before leaving Sydney.

Why was I in Melbourne? For the fabulous OnStage Local Melbourne Stampin' Up! event!


And yes, we were given advanced copies of the new 2019 Occasions catalogue along with the 2019 Sale-A-Bration flyer as well.  I can't share what is inside yet but let me tell you, when you look through this Occasions catalogue you will want to be looking in the Sale-A-Bration flyer because soooo much coordinates. Love butterflies, flowers, you won't be disappointed :-)  And there is much more!

My bestie, Maggie & I had the most wonderful time.   I hope you saw my tutorial yesterday on how I made my cute little swaps.  They were a big hit.  I had so many, I hope the left overs were found and enjoyed. LOL, I left them in a 'strategic' spot so anyone could help themselves to them.

Today I'm sharing just a 'teaser' of some new products coming.  One thing I have to say is Stampin' Up! do listen to all our suggestions and take onboard loads of suggestions and ideas their customers and demonstrators give them.

One big thing, starting with this new catalogue, is wood mounted stamps are going to be phased out.  There will still be polymer and cling/clear stamps.  Yes, SU have listened to us with our clear mounts and have developed a new cling film on the stamp stickers so they DO cling and cling very well.  Take a look at this video one my fellow demonstrators in the UK made showing how they work. I couldn't make a better video myself, so a big thanks to Sarah Berry for making this video!

Now I don't know about you, but just the fact that wood mounts take up double the storage room has me cheering. I converted to the clear mounts as soon as SU brought them out. It's no secret I live in a tiny two bedroom house so I have to make the most of my storage.  This is brilliant AND  great for the environment because SU will no longer need to source wood for their gorgeous stamps!




So have a look at some of my photos below and enjoy some insight into what being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator can be like. Want to be a Demonstrator too?  Contact me today because this is one of, if not THE best, companies to be an independent demonstrator for.

30yrs and still going strong!

Stay tuned for Friday's FF@F post where I will share more samples using new stamps sets and products, more photos of the tons of fun we all had.  I'll leave  you with one last photo, this is "The Crazy Crafters" the team of fabulous demonstrators I am a part of.  Some of the ladies in there, you know who you are, came to my rescue at the end of the day when not one of the 5 taxis I'd booked turned up, they are angels!
