Attention, Business Owners!

ARE YOU WANTING TO GIVE YOUR CLIENTS SOMETHING SPECIAL THIS YEAR BUT WORRIED YOU’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME?

You won't have to worry anymore once you read the information below!

Dear Fellow Business Owner,

If you're like me, you have a lot of great clients that patron your business all year long and you’d love to give them that some thing special that say “Thank you!” Why? Because we both know that with out these fantastic patrons we wouldn’t be doing what we love.

Unfortunately, we also have all felt the frustration of not giving our patrons what they deserve. Whether it's time, too much work or just plain exhaustion, if we don't take steps now to create that something special, we run the risk of running out of time.

My name is Shawnnita. In addition to being a rubber stamp business owner, and the current jolly elf in my household, I'm also an avid paper crafter and scrapbooker. I love the feeling of putting that special touch on a Christmas Card and posting it out to those special clients that patron my business all year long.

Over the last few years, I've combined my love of card making with my desire to show my patrons just how much I appreciate them by sending them a wonderful, handmade card! And I'd like to show you how to do it as well!

I'd like to invite you to my HANDMADE CHRISTMAS CARDS WORKSHOP! This workshop will take place on October 15th starting at 9:30am. During the workshop, you will receive...

• Step-by-Step Instructions for creating your Handmade Christmas Cards - Regardless of your experience, everyone will walk away with 25 Handmade Christmas Cards they can be proud to send to their patrons. No guesswork! We'll take you through it one step at a time!

When you've completed this workshop, you'll have 25 finished cards that you can take straight to AusPost and send to your clients that day. The Handmade Christmas Cards will be something you'll be proud to share with your clients, family and friends!

And, if you sign up now, you'll also receive a bonus of:

• Stamped punched images that you can put of future Christmas cards!

The cost of the workshop, which includes all of the materials (except envelopes and postage stamps), you'll need, PLUS the bonus mentioned above is just $75. Significantly less than you would pay to have someone create this for you.

To sign up for the class, and receive your bonus, please use the registration button below

I hope you can join us for this wonderful workshop. I look forward to sharing my passion for creating with you!

Sincerely,

Shawnnita



Happy Vernal/Autumnal Equinox Day!

Did you know?  The September equinox (my Vernal here in Australia , but Autumnal for my friends in the Northern Hemisphere, is on September 23 at 03:09 GMT!


What's an Equinox you say?


Well Wikipedia describes it saying, "At an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points: classically, the vernal point and the autumnal point.


I also thought this was interesting:

• In 1931 the September equinox fell on September 24th, and the next time this will occur will be in 2303.
• A modern urban legend claims that on the March equinox day (some may also include the September equinox day rather than leaving it out), one can balance an egg on its point.^[9][10][11] However, one can balance an egg on its point any day of the year... if one has enough patience.^[12]

What are you going to do to celebrate? Me?  I'm heading off on a road trip!  I'm off to see the Great Outdoors and to shoot some amazing pictures!


I'll try to post from the road!


If you have any photos or Equinox info you'd like to share I'd love to see or hear about it!
