What are you doing online? Go eScape!

(Now before you pick on me I scheduled this post so I'm not cheating!)

Today is the day to eScape from the 'e', disconnect the computer and re-connect with old friends! So I'm am attempting to have a computer free day (for those of you that know me you'll know how hard it is for me so you will forgive me for not going completely e-free and turning off my mobile as well).

I have some cards to send out to a few friends who I haven't spent time with in a while and I will spend part of the day with my Mum. Even if you can't be e-free for the whole day, why not take the kids to the park for half an hour or watch a movie together after dinner, just spend some quality time together.

Stampin' Up! have organised today as the official eScape day, however demo's all around the world have been holding eScape events all month, I held mine on Saturday, we had a Love Notes Stamp-a-Stack, where we made 5 each of 10 designs of little Love Notes and a beautiful box to house them! (I forgot to take pics I'm sorry). It wasn't a huge turn out but we had a blast anyway!

If you want to join in the fun next time watch this space for details on my classes, as I post them here as soon as I have finalised everything.

I also have some ribbon available from my ribbon swap so email me zjgould@gmail.com to get some beautiful samples!

Ribbon Club - 5/8" Grosgrain

I will be holding a series of Ribbon Clubs over the coming months.

I found it hard to use ribbons at first and even harder to pick one I would use straight from the catalogue but when i had a sample to use I found that I used them all and found a favourite (it wasn't the colour i thought it would have been), so I have decided to run a ribbon club to give my customers a chance to try out our ribbon without being committed to 9 or 13 metres of the one colour.

The first Ribbon Club is for the 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon.

• Very Vanilla
• Chocolate Chip
• Bravo Burgundy
• Real Red
• Regal Rose
• Brocade Blue
• Certainly Celery
• Old Olive

For $15.50 including postage you will receive 2m of each colour listed above (that's a total of 16m of ribbon) in the 5/8" Grosgrain ribbon.

To take part in the club contact me on zjgould@gmail.com by 20 June 2008 to book your place!
And keep an eye out for the other Ribbon clubs in coming months.

Break Free from the 'e'

eScape during June!

Stampin’ Up! have declared June the month to ‘eScape’, eScape & break free from the impersonal e-world by taking the time out away from computers & mobile phones to communicate the old fashioned way…
On June 25th we are asking everyone to take the day reconnect with your ‘Wireless Network’, write a letter, send a card or meet for coffee and a chat (without your mobile phone), Tell a joke without using the ‘Forward’ button and have a laugh without LOL’s or ROFL’s.

To get you ready to eScape I will be running a Love Note’s Stamp-A-Stack…
Love Note’s are 3”x3” cards that are the perfect size for attaching to a gift, leaving under a pillow or on a desk to let someone know you care.
We will be making 8 Love Notes (4 each of 2 designs) & a coordinating box to store them in.
When:

Saturday 21 June 3.30pm for approx 3-4 hours
Where:

at My Place (details will be given when you RSVP) or yours if you get together a group of 4 or more friends
