Finally! 2012 D-I-Y Calendars

I can hear cheers! Yes, the 2012 calendars are ready.

We had a technical glitch this year with the cardstock that they are manufactured from. We got partway through a print run, and then discovered that the lovely card we used last year had been discontinued!! I think I said something like "Oh Joy" or some such nice thing. Anyway a new cardstock style was selected and produced.

As normal our five styles are back,
see the sidebar on the right for details…

Win a $50,000 Shopping Spree?

What would you buy?

Paper & Stuff is proudly part of the KOFM radio station
Shop Til You Drop Promotion. There are over 300 local businesses involved in the promotion. For full details visit
their website www.kofmshoptilyoudrop.com.au

"What does this mean to me?" I hear you ask…

…well, simply by visiting us before 8 July, 2011 and spending a minimum of $10 when you visit, you'll get an entry ticket into the promo. (The more you spend the more tickets you get, naturally.) However all it takes to win is ONE TICKET!

Our rep told us that the winner of the Gold Coast promo only had one ticket in the draw. So you never do know do you…

"Sounds like just another promo" you say.
Au contraire! What other promo has 165 winners?

So here's how it works. Everyone shops and get their tickets. After the 8th of July the reps come around and pick up the entry boxes. On the 23rd of July all the tickets get put into a huge entry barrel, then 165 winners are drawn. Don't worry, you don't have to be there on the day to win…

The largest prize is a $50,000 shopping spree, then $25,000, then $10,000, then all the way down until to $100 shopping sprees. WOW – All in all, 165 Happy Winners.

Then you get two weeks to plan what you are going to spend it on. The first catch is that you must spend it with one or any of the businesses in the promotion. The second catch is that you have to spend it all on one day! The 6th of August.
Which is a Saturday.

Now as you know we don't open on a Saturday, however if you want to spend your winnings with us you could ring to arrange a gift voucher with us, and guess what, our gift vouchers have no expiry dates! And you don't have to spend it all in one go, we keep a running tally for you…

Yippeeee, I will be going to the draw because I have that prickly little feeling up the back of my legs that some of our customers are going to be winners! And the last time I had that feeling I won a great lucky door prize!

Anyway, here's the promo graphic I made up for it…
…hope to see you soon!!!!

Remember you've gotta be in it to win it!

Spring Cleaning in Autumn?

Anyway, here's a nice little layout I found in a cupboard!
I think this was the start of my eyelet addiction!!!

Wonder what I'll turn up over the weekend!! Who knows…

Well I better get ready for work today, big day.
Hope you have a grand day and a grand weekend.
Be safe on the roads, it's the start of school holidays…

I have been creating beads again using my oxygen/lpg torch. Have been experimenting, what do you think?

2012 D-I-Y Calendars

It's nearly Calendar time again!! We have already had phone calls asking when they will be released. This year we will produce our Paper & Stuff Decorate-It-Yourself Calendars early in May, so you can get your skates on and start early. We have designed and manufactured them for the past eleven years now, and their popularity still astounds me!! So thank you to all our lovely customers who have supported us by buying them for the past ten years!! And welcome to those who are considering them for the very first time!!

There are five calendar styles available. Our new calendar,
the Easel Calendar Kit was well received last year. They are designed and manufactured in Australia. They are now printed onto a lovely white textured cardstock, it isn't bazzill, but it works very nicely with it. I have posted each style individually in the sidebar so you can see the merits of each style…

A nice piece of trivia for you, one of my craft ladies decorated one of our calendars, and sent it to Lizzie in England… opps, sorry!! I mean HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I hope that she liked it, and wouldn't that be a top photo opportunity for any scrapbook!! Here is Lizzie with a P&S Calendar…

(I could put HRH endorsed on the back??) (Just an idea…)

EXTRA NOTE (5 July, 2011): We have had a spot of bother with the cardstock being unavailable for the calendars, so we have chosen a new stock. The calendars are now printed, but haven't yet been bound…

…will keep you advised on progress.
