If you've been thinking about it, NOW is the time!

OK, so the standard Starter Kit is a great deal, at $324 for $560 worth of products and business supplies. This comes along with a special discount of 30% for your first order* and an ongoing discount of 20% on everything from the catalogue. There is also an incentive program called Stampin' Start, where you can earn up to 18 free stamp sets of any value (!!), by meeting any or all of 3 goals in sales and team building over your first 6 months. The quarterly minimums are very low, and there are no penalties for stopping. There is no requirement to actually "demonstrate" anything either, unless you wish. Your demonstratorship can be anything you want it to be - from making your hobby pay for itself, to covering a household bill per month to a fully-fledged full time job. Pretty inexpensive way to start your own business that you can run from home around your other committments isn't it?? *over $300, within 45 days of starting

But, are you any of these people?

1. You have a massive stash of Stampin' Up gear, and may as well become a demonstrator to purchase at a discount, but don't want to have to buy duplicates of stuff you already have by purchasing the standard kit?

2. Would love to give it a try, but can't justify the full cost right now?

3. Are a scrapbooker rather than a stamper, so might not want the stamp component (yet!)

If so, pay attention, because do I have a deal for you!!!!!

Between May 1st and May 31st, there is a perfect opportunity to sign up as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in my team.

Interested? Just send me an email at michelle.dyson@bigpond.com or call me on (02) 9484 9447 for a no obligation chat. I offer each and every member of my small team as much or as little attention as they want or need. You won't be pushed or hassled, but all the guidance you could need is there for the asking. On offer is access to one of the largest demonstrator internet forums in Australia, with a wealth of experience to willingly share, as well as an abundance of the best friends you could find.

If you would like to read through some information, I'd be happy to send you out a packet containing an introductory DVD, brochures and other details.

I hope to be back tomorrow with some cards - my swaps for Convention, and some photos of the occasion!
