Spring supplement

March may be "roaring" at us - but Spring is not far off! (My redbud tree has been blooming for over a week now!) And with Spring, comes the Spring Supplement from The Angel Company. The supplement has some great new stamp offerings, and a COOL NEW TOOL - the Crop-a-Dile II called the Big Bite! It will begin shipping from TAC on April 1! Check out the beautiful new stamp sets - I couldn't resist, I ordered a couple last weekend, and they are due for delivery today! http://www.theangelcompany.net/springsupplement.html

Just to add the "hook" (if new stamp sets and the Big Bite didn't do it!) TAC is hosting a promotion called "Celebrate!" As part of that promotion TAC is DOUBLING ALL HOSTESS AWARDS and GIFT WITH PURCHASE stamps! If you place a $100 order, you would normally receive a Level A set and a 1/2 price item (along with 20% discount on items up to $150 additional) During CELEBRATE the Level A hostess set, becomes 2 sets, and the 1/2 price item becomes two 1/2 price items. This means we can have LOTS of mystery hostesses! ($20 purchase required) If you purchase at least $30 during March or April, you are eligible for two GWP stamps! (The 20% discounts are not doubled - these are not normally in my mystery hostess awards, only on FUNshop orders)

March or April would be a great time to invite your friends over for a FUNshop! Or host a catalogue party-in-a-bag! Let me know if I can share some inspiration with you!
