Hi everyone!

I have really missed doing my regular posts! I have come to realize that my blogging is a special part of my life that i enjoy immensely! Whilst it was very frustrating not having my computer on regular internet access in Cairns, it was probably a good thing to, because I really enjoyed the time with my kids, and seeing all the beautiful sites of Cairns!

WOW that place is amazing! It is truly beautiful and there is so much to see and do! We really managed to cram a lot in whilst we were there, but it still felt relaxing. The people there are so super friendly too!

I have a couple of photos, but I won’t show too many, so I don’t bore you all!

Here is the Sunrise at Palm Cove at about 5:45am. This was truly a beautiful morning when we just arrived in Cairns.

Here is Rod holding a Python from the Venom Zoo at Kuranda village. You can imagine where I was…..yep I headed straight over the road to the cafe, as I wasn’t sticking around to look at that snake……EEK!

Elijah being just like Dad, getting cozy with a snake….

And a picture of Tiarne at Mossman Gorge which is part of the Rainforrest

Rod husking Coconuts on the beach at Cape Tribulation

All in all it was a wonderful time away, but nice to be home too! It has taken a little bit to get thing back in order and catch up on things. I had 417 emails to attend to, so after a few hours today, I managed to get them all sorted

Now for the big Stampin’Up news……the retiring list has been released! I was dying to know what was on there, but had to be patient till I got home. Thanks still to Karen, for texting me at an obscene hour to let me know that the Big Ol’ Ugly Flower was being retired………was I shocked…..no?! becasue some of you hate it, Was I sad?!……..Of course I am! There goes my very favourite stamp from the catty! Ah well I will still always have it in my collection to keep!

But wow there is lots going from the Catalog, and it is going FAST!!!!

This year there is a lot of product being retired to make way for the new product. The best bit about that is that it is making way for more of the current US stamp sets, so that our catalog is fairly up to date with what is available in the US. This is great for us, and I am sure you will agree, that you will be happy seeing some of that new product on Australian Shores.

Now for that list……You can view the Retired list here: http://www3.stampinup.com/au/documents/RetiredList_0309_AUNZ_Num.pdf

Stampin’Up! is also offering certain product at a reduced price of 25 or 50% off! That is amazing! Some stamp pads are going down to $7.46!

The retired list works on a first in first served basis, so once it is gone…….it is GONE FOR GOOD!

Keeping this in mind, it is best to have your wish list sorted and ordered before it is too late! I will keep you posted regularly on what has gone and what has become low in stock.

Now to join in on all this Retirement Fund, I have a couple of specials of my own to share!

Special # 1

Purchase $100 of product during March and recieve either 10% of your total order, plus free shipping and handling.

Special # 2

Purchase $100 of product during March and recieve a brand new catalog when they are released on the 1st of April, as well as free shipping on your order.

Special # 3

Purchase $200 of product and recieve free shipping, a free new catalog, and 10% off your total order.

It is a fun time of year, and i really hope you manage to make the most of these fun specials, and look forward to the release of the new catalog with as much anticipation as me! There will be price increases on certain products in the new catalog, ie all stamp pads will be $11.95, and the DSP will be going up to $19.50 So what better way to get all the stamp pad colours, than now before they increase in price!

If any of you have questions, want to place an order, etc, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
