NZSU Pics of the Week 30 July 2017

Once again apologies for the lateness of this post, generally I try to get the weekly post up each Sunday night, however I have just got out of hospital again for the third time in the last four months. I'll possibly be in this predicament again in the future so please be patient with any delays in posting. 
On a more positive note there is much excitement among demo's at the moment about the upcoming "Holiday Catalogue" which will be available to customers on 1 September 2017, what will be on your wish list this year?
Have a fantastic week.

NZSU Pics of the Week 16 July 2017

Hello Stampers, I hope you all managed to keep warm during the Polar blast over the past week. We had snow here in Rolleston which was great fun for the children on holiday. I spent a lovely few days with two of our sons and 4 grandchildren in Geraldine, lots of frosty mornings followed by some beautiful clear days. 
This week I've found some terrific creations on the Caseing the Catty Blog hop HERE check it out.
Have a fantastic week.

I hope you've all had a good Queens Birthday weekend, despite the wintry weather. We've had  weekend with family, Saturday we hosted a family lunch for our middle son's birthday. In the morning I watched one of our grandsons playing rugby, he scored a try and won Player of the day, great fun.
 A busy week for Stampin Up demos, placing orders for products from the new 2017/2018 catalogue, always an exciting time. How many of you are holding New Catalogue Launch parties? Wishing you all great success.
