Hello there!

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a safe Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.

This newsletter goes out to many around the world, and I extend my thanks to you all for taking an interest in my Stampin' Up! business.

For those of you here in New Zealand who purchase Stampin' Up! products through me and/or attend classes or events - a very special thank you for your support during 2018.

I look forward to sharing more crafty goodness with you in 2019.

Farewell 2018

2018 has been busy - both as CreativeJax - and as Jackie!

For me, like most of you, there have been some amazing highs, along with some significant lows. Life's like that!

I got an email from Air New Zealand just this week with the above information in it.

2018 sure was a year for travel!

Some were personal trips - Canada, Las Vegas & the Grand Canyon with hubby at the start of the year, Los Angeles and Disneyland with our daughter mid year, as well as other NZ trips with family & friends for a variety of reasons.

Some were Stampin' Up! related trips - On Stages and training days here in NZ and the last big one of the year - the Incentive Trip to Alaska with my sisters in July.

I've loved the flexibility - and opportunities - that Stampin' Up! has provided which has enabled me to clock up those stats.

I expect 2019 to be a lot quieter on the travel front - though of course I'm super excited to be taking hubby on the 2019 Incentive Trip in July to cruise the Greek Isles! We plan on holidaying in Italy while we are on that side of the world. Thank you once again to all who have helped me earn the Trip!

The last 6 weeks have held several of those lows I mentioned.

My dear Mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly at the end of last month.

My own dear Dad has had some significant health events since the beginning of last month, and only yesterday finished a short course of Radiation Therapy.

Again - I've appreciated that my Stampin' Up! business allows me the flexibility to sometimes step back and focus on family when required.

While I had to cancel my annual Christmas Customer Appreciation Event - you know it wasn't because I don't appreciate you!

I have also not been able to send out the last 3 episodes of the 12 weeks of Christmas. Once things have settled a little more - I will send out some other projects.

My thanks to the support and understanding many of you have shown me over these last few weeks - including my wonderful thINK Creative Team Members who have covered for me - you guys rock!

On a personal note, I do hope you get to spend time with loved ones over the Festive Season and that you stay safe.

I'll be with family in Hawkes Bay for Christmas and with friends to see in the New Year.

Hello 2019

Over January and early February, I'll be back and forth to Hawkes Bay a fair amount and as such my Stampin' Up! commitments will be lighter than usual.

I won't be holding any classes.

January 2nd is the last day to purchase retiring products from the Holiday Catalogue - if they're still available!

January 3rd will see the release of the 2019 Occasions Catalogue and the start of Sale-A-Bration.

This is always an exciting time of the Stampin' Up! Year and my other job today has been finishing getting catalogues and cards ready to post.

If you've shopped or attended one of my events in the last 12 months there will be an envelope with your name on it going into the mail on Monday. While I had hoped these would be in the mail at the beginning of the week just gone - I did't get that ticked off my list. So your Christmas card will be a little late!

I love celebrating a new catalogue with a launch party or two, and I will be celebrating the Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration that way.

I have had to change the date for these launch parties though.

I hope many of you will be able to join me on Thursday 10th January at one of the parties. The details are below.

My plan is to resume classes in February.

I will update the events on my Demo Website, and also send out the dates via a Newsletter, next month once things are confirmed.

Year-End Closeout

With the Holiday Catalogue finishing on 2 January, we will be saying goodbye to most of the products - with only a few being available after the 2nd January.

And this year there is also an option to pay $51 more and receive an awesome new Craft Tote. So $240 for $375 worth of Stampin' Up! product and the Craft & Carry Tote valued at $105!

FYI - current demonstrators had the chance to purchase these at the retail price of just over $100, and the allocation set aside for this purpose sold out within a couple of weeks! So if you want one - join up as soon as you can!

Sale-A-Bration Shop Offer

You can earn a FREE product every time your spend reaches a set threshold during Sale-A-Bration.
