Ginny Duncan from Stampin' Up will be at the event Sunday! 

She has some great specials to offer you now and at the event! If you are interested in supporting her and BC Crop for Kids...consider placing an order through her as she will be donating 10% of all of our orders to BC Crop for Kids!!!

"Hi everyone - as I am out of town until shortly before the crop dates, I am giving you the opportunity to place your order on-line any time before September 27th (easy-peasy as it even works in your pj's, and the order comes directly to your home!) and I will donate 10% of all your orders to BC Crop for Kids.  

Please use the hostess code 4JM37TWR so I can track the orders from the crop event. I will have the results to share with you on September 28th when I attend the crop as a vendor. You can link here to my website http://www.ginnyduncan.stampinup.net and look at my story, my next events and browse the shop now button.
 
In addition, each person placing an order with this hostess code will have their name entered in a draw for a basket of Stampin' Up! products - I will announce the lucky winner at the crop and if you placed an order, you can also pick up the new Holiday Catalogue from me at the crop - it is full of so many great new kits and products! If you have spent $50.00 or more, I'll include the Annual Catalogue too - a super bonus as the catalogues make great idea books too!
 
Meanwhile if you are reading this before September 10th - check out this awesome deal for Paper Pumpkin kits  https://mypaperpumpkin.com/en-ca/ - 1/2 price kits for the first two months and they are super fun! Use the code HALFOFF2 to get the deal - you won't be sorry and your kids, or crafting partners will have so much fun with you putting together the kits each month. Check out all the ideas on the Pinterest link on the same web page.

I can't wait to see you at BC Crop for Kids and share my new products and a really fun Make and Take. I will also have some retired products for sale - all "Buy One Get One" FREE so make sure you visit me at my location on Sunday"
