Two very exciting things to tell you about today. 

One is the release of the list of all the items from our 2009/2010 Idea Book and Catalogue that are now only available while stocks last, and will not be in the soon to be released new catalogue.  

To make room for lots of new goodies in the new catalogue, there's lots of things getting cleared out.  Some items are being reconfigured such as the punches which are changing over to the new style so don't panic when you see lots of our favourite punches on the list!   

 Here it is:  Last Chance List

Some of the items are discounted. For example, Embrace Life is 25% off, Pink Flamingo DSP is 50% off

Phone: 0417 377 057 (or) Email: smadex@bigpond.com if you spot any items you want to add to your craft collection.  I'd be happy to help you with your order.

And two is that August 1st has arrived which means it is time to officially launch Helping Hudson.  I'm so thrilled to share this news with you.

You can find the Helping Hudson blog here:   Helping Hudson - A Wheely Good Cause

The Helping Hudson team and our big family of supporters has been working on a fundraiser to raise money for a Kid Walk mobility aid for Hudson - the young son of Tina, one of our stamping buddies (and fellow Helping Hudson crew member.)

As I said in my newsletter today, I'm amazed at what a group of women can achieve when we set our minds to it and work together with a common purpose.   Wait til you see what we've put together. 

Demonstrators from all over Australia, and from further afield as well, have generously volunteered their time and ideas and contributed over 70 tutorials.   A team of us (led by the very very hard working and inspiring Genna Gifford) have been tapping away at our computers until the wee hours getting them all formatted into a gorgeous template and polishing everything up into Tutorial Packages, proof reading, getting challenges ready, parcelling up prizes and putting together a blog to share it all with you.  

(Actually we're still tapping away madly but are on the home straight now and the tutorials will be ready to send out to purchasers in the next few days!) 

We have 6 fabulous packages of tutorials, plus a bonus bundle if you order 4 or more packages. 

Each package has 10 tutorials and costs just $10 - that is just $1 per tutorial.  I've seen the projects and this is EXCEPTIONAL value. 

Here's a sneak peek ....

Look good don't they!  We're so grateful to all the people who've donated their time and ideas, or helped out in other ways.  Much appreciated.

Here's a peek at the Bonus Bundle you get if you order 4 or more packages!

We're all very excited to be here at launch day and hope you enjoy stopping by the site to see more details about all that is on offer.

If you are a fellow blogger and would like to help us get the word out about this project, you can find images, blinkies and what not on this page:  Spread The Word.   We appreciate your help to get in touch with craft lovers from everywhere.

The person in all of our minds all along the way is of course this little guy - Hudson.   Looking forward to seeing pics of his first steps with a KidWalk mobility aid. 

Cheers all,   Sue
