CELEBRATE Promotion will continue through April

The TAC promotion called CELEBRATE will continue through the month of April. That means Gift With Purchase Stamps are doubled (two for every $30 purchase) Also, hostess awards are doubled! A $100 order will net the mystery hostesses two Level A sets and two Half Price items. During March, I have been able to reward everyone who is eligible for a Mystery Hostess award! I hope to do the same during April. It's a great time to host a FUNshop or catalogue party. Let me know if you are interested!

TAC order from March Tech squad

The order from March 12 TECH Squad is here! My car is in the shop so I'll be home on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings! Call me if you have a chance to come pick up your order!

I have a pair of orange handle Fiskars shears left on the table at TECH SQUAD on March 12. Are they yours?

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!
