My Stampin' Up! FREE Shipping and No Tax Special to Thank YOU for Your Support

As you can see, we're having a fabulous time here in Hawaii and I've got YOU to thank for your support!  So in light of that, I want to give back to you.  As a way to thank you for your business and support over the year, I'm offering free shipping on orders of $50 or more!

When you email me your order from now - March 31, 2009 you will pay NO SHIPPING!  And if you order over $150, I won't charge you tax either!  WOWZA!

How cool is that?

If you gather orders from friends and family, or if your own order totals at least $150.00, you will also receive hostess benefits. 

If you order $50.00 you will also receive a Sale-a-Bration set too!

Plus there's more...yes I said more...for every $50.00 you order you will receive a ticket, and after all the orders are in, I will pick 3 tickets, and I will have 3 different goodie bags full of fun things, embellishments, ribbons, stamps, inks, it could be anything.  Fun, fun, FUN!

You can check out the catalog on the right hand side of this blog if you do not have your own.

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART:  Most of you have gotten used to going through my Stampin' Up! website and placing your orders on-line.  Well that is all fine and dandy when Stampin' Up! is offering a special, but this special is being offered by little old me, and that means, you MUST email me your order, and NOT place it on-line yourself.  If you place the order on-line I am not able to offer you the NO TAX and NO SHIPPING special.  My email address is StampsNWhatnot@aol.com  Just send your order there, and I will contact you when I get back for your credit card info.

Have a great Wednesday and thanks so much for your support over the year, and thanks ever so much for stopping in today! 

Best always,

Jeannette Swain

Stampin' Up! Hawaii Incentive Trip Part 2

Yesterday was a fun filled and interesting day.  We drove around the island and I've got to tell you, they don't call it the Big Island for nothing!  We went from dry to ranch, to tropical, to volcanic to desert and back to dry again.  Lots of different climates here.  I've posted some photos for you to check out. 

The biggest highlight of the day was in the evening.  We were driving along Route 11, making our way back toward the hotel when we spotted a sign for the Black Sand Beach.  We did a quick turn and went.  Boy, are we glad we did!  Just look what we found there!

 

There were 5 of these beauties resting on the beach.  You can see more photos from the day here. 

Stampin' Up! Hawaii Trip - Part 1

Aloha!  First, I'ike to apologize for not blogging in quite a while.  Life has been crazy busy but now, it's time to relax and enjoy.  Gary and I are in Hawaii on the Stampin' Up! Incentive trip that I earned last year thanks to you!  Thank you so much for your support! 

(***We interupt this regularly scheduled blog for this important message from our sponser (me):  Want to join Stampin' Up! and earn a trip like this too?  Then join my wonderful team of demonstrators.  We would love to have you be part of our great group!  Details can be found here.***)

Now back to the blog...

Prior to the trip, SU sent us this cute travel clutch with all of the travel info.  It's just too cute and I love it!  Here it is closed...

 

And here it is open.  Note the adorable luggage tags!

 

We flew into San Francisco on Friday night to spend a couple of nights with my best friend Liz and her husband Roger. 

While there, we went to the Ferry Building Farmers Market and then took a tour of the city.  One of the places we went to was Twin Peaks.  Gary got this fantastic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. 

After that, we went back to their place to freshen up and go out to dinner.  We went to this FABULOUS Mexican restaurant called La Pinata in Alameda.  I highly recommend it!

Thanks for the hospitality guys!   

Sunday morning, we boarded the plane for Hawaii's Big Island.  We arrived around 11 AM.  The weather was perfect!  We rented a car and headed for the resort - The Hilton Waikoloa Village.  WOW!  Is this place ever beautiful!

  

 We checked in and even our room keys have the Stampin' Up! Hawaii trip on them!  Gotta love it!

 

We're in the Palace Tower.  Here are a couple of pics:

  

Yesterday, we had breakfast then attended General Session.  We saw some sneak peaks, but aren't allowed to post anything about it.  Just trust me when I tell you this, you're gonna love them! 

Here are some pics of happenings of the day:

Lunch at Fish Hopper in Kona.  Beautiful food!

We ventured out to meet Claudia and Robert for a cocktail but right before we did, we had these delivered to our room!

 

Don't you just love gifts!?!

Last, but not least, this was left on the pillow:

 That's all for now. 

Until the next post,

Stamp happy!
