Now, what's this about an apology and free gifts?

Well, due to being completely out-of-commission and out-of-touch due to my pneumonia this past month, I truly dropped the ball with you, my faithful customers, downline and blog readers. I had all these wonderful classes planned for January and the beginning of February, I had a large mailing to get ready to send out, neat crafting videos to create, blog posts to write and inspire you and you know...things to STAMP!

Instead, I spent weeks in my bed, weak as the proverbial kitten and totally incapable of doing anything...and I do mean anything. While I was flat on my back, work piled up at my stamping studio, voicemail boxes filled up, emails weren't returned. And I feel just awful about it all...as this is NOT how I want to run my business or endanger my relationship with all of you.

As a small way of giving back and to also say sorry for my absence, I'll be offering FREE SHIPPING as well as 2 FABULOUS TUTORIALS for all SAB orders placed with me before the end of March. Yup, that's right -- this is a one-time offer of a free SAB period with me...to say thanks for your friendship, support and loyalty during a particularly rough period.

It's not much, but I hope this shows my sincerity in wanting to make amends and to start building my business back up slowly but surely. I've been a demonstrator for almost 9 years now, and truly love what I do. I want to keep on going another 9, and then ANOTHER 9, and so on....

Hopefully you will enjoy the many Sale-A-Bration items that Stampin' Up! is offering this year, and I hope to share many samples and ideas with you in the weeks to come!
