NZSU Pics of the Week 26 Oct 2014

Hi, I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend, many of you I'm sure, will have taken the opportunity to take your family on a short break before Christmas. If you've stayed at home, I hope you will have had some time for crafting and if you haven't already, take a look at the "Creative Inkers" Christmas Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous week.

NZSU Pics of the Week 19 Oct 2014

Well I'm still in Melbourne, I was booked to return to NZ yesterday, however as my brother-in-law still needs help caring for my sister this week I will be heading home next Saturday. 
This morning I watched Shelli's video on our Demo site regarding yet to be announced major changes to the career plan, these changes will be announced gradually on a Monday and or Tuesday between now and January 2015. There has been a team working on the changes for some time now, so it will be exciting to hear what they have worked out.
Have an awesome week, hopefully managing some crafting.

NZSU Pics of the Week 12 October 2014

Good afternoon, I hope you have all had a good week, I have been visiting with my sister and her family in Melbourne this week and will return to NZ next Saturday. I have spent a good deal of my time here making Christmas cards for her to send to her many friends and relatives. I've been using my blendabilities to colour images which I have throughly enjoyed, I find colouring and shading to be a very relaxing way to craft.
Have a great week.

NZSU Pics of the Week 5th October 2014

Well Stampers, it seems we have returned to some icy weather, not ideal for outdoor pursuits so maybe you have been able to stay indoors and craft. However if you have children home for the school holidays this may be wishful thinking, but hopefully you are able to take advantage of the discount specials "Stampin' Up are offering before the 6th of October. 
Enjoy your week and hopefully the weather will improve.

I have just been browsing the ESAD, Holiday Catalogue blog hop, there are many great projects featured, so make sure to take a look, well worth it.
For those of you offering school holiday classes, well done, it is great to know that crafting is being passed down to the next generation.

Welcome to our newest member, Sally Robertson, it's great that demo's are still signing up for our site considering all the other popular social media sites that are available. Having one specific site to access all NZ demo sites is beneficial to us as demo's as well as our customers. 
Get the word out there among your fellow demonstrators to link up with NZSU the more people we have linked in, the greater the benefit to everyone.

Goodness how quickly this year is passing us by, halfway through September, once we hit October it's all over, we'll be at Christmas before we know it. Have you started designing your Christmas cards for classes and/or for yourself? Four out of the 9 pics this week are Christmas projects so some of us are making some headway towards Christmas.
Have a great week and enjoy some crafting.

NZSU Pics of the Week 17 August 2014

It was so nice to enjoy a lovely sunny day after the last week of very cool weather. I have spent a good part of the weekend making a Printer tray, with photos,  for a friends birthday. I changed it several times until I achieved the look I was happy with. 
I hope you have had a good weekend, the girls at Paula Dobson's "Wanganui Retreat" certainly look like they had a blast, if the photo's on facebook are anything to go by.
Welcome to Jackie Noble who joined the NZSU blog this week.
Have a good week.

This year is galloping by and with the new Holiday catalogue out for customers at the end of the month it seems hard to believe we will soon be making Christmas cards, gift boxes and decorations etc. But I am sure we will all welcome some spring weather!
I hope that those who took part in the Trade shows in Wellington and Hamilton this week enjoyed rewarding outcomes.
Have a good week everyone and happy crafting.

We've had a very busy family weekend with 5 house guests and many more joining us for dinner on Saturday night, we had a great time with lots of laughter. Hence the posting on Monday morning instead of Sunday night. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend and had time for some crafting.

Next weekend 7 - 10 August, Jacque Williams will be  at the "Hamilton Craft and Quilt Fair" so make sure you call in to see her if you're taking a trip to the fair.

Good Morning, I hope you have all had a good weekend, even though it has been very cold. I arrived home last night from a week in Bangkok so I certainly noticed the drop in temperature. 
It was nice to see some of our demo's who haven't blogged for a while, posting this week.
Keryn Campbell's son Cam has show cased some of his memories using "Project Life" Well done Cam, beautiful work!
Congratulations!! to Susan Wong for her appointment to the "Artisan Design Team"

Hi, I'm posting early this week as I'm off to Bangkok tomorrow morning at 6 am. I'm meeting up with my very dear Sister-in-law who is on her way back from an awesome 3 month trip  We are going to spend 6 days up there, maybe a little shopping etc.
Some of the projects created with the new products are fabulous, and it's wonderful to see there are many pages appearing using the new "Project Life",  I'm loving this catalogue.

What an exciting week we've had with the release of the new Annual Catalogue. If you have had the time to order new products hopefully you will find an opportunity during the school holidays to start creating.
For those of you who have already held catalogue launches, I hope they have been a success for you.
Enjoy your week.

Pics of the Week 29 June 2014

Hello Fellow Stampers, I hope you have all had as wonderful a weekend as I have. I have spent the weekend in Christchurch with one of my sons and grandsons, the weather has been beautiful with crisp mornings and blue skies all day. It is so special to spend time with Hunter he is a beautiful 2 year old and I try to get down there to see him every couple of months.

This week we have a very special "Guest Designer" Angela Palmer's gorgeous 3 year old daughter, she is featured in our Pics this week.

Only 2 more "sleeps" until the new annual catalogue goes live, the new catalogue is fabulous and I love the new "In Colors" especially Blackberry Bliss as many of you do.

Have a special week with our new annual catalogue. Happy Stamping!

I hope you have all had a great weekend. Many demos gathered yesterday for a Team Training day, there were about 58 attendees and it was a wonderful day. Many thanks to Jacque and her family, Emma and all the others who demonstrated and made up kits for us; Ria Kaire, Bernie Collins, Rachael Knight and Jackie Noble. It's great to get together and catch up with demo's we already know and meet new friends.
To the two Karens and Jenny whom I shared a table with; Thanks for your lovely friendly company yesterday.
Have a great week and happy crafting.

 With demos receiving their pre orders there has been a real buzz around this week, it's always great fun trying out new products that are about to be released. I have enjoyed putting together my first "Project Life" page and learning to use the blendabilities. There are many tips and ideas featuring the new products on Demo blogs, Pinterest and You tube.
I hope you all have a great week and have time to try out some new ideas.
