Australian Flood Appeal

Stampin' Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. Nearly two years ago, we watched another tragedy unfold in Australia. Our hearts were touched as demonstrators, customers and friends joined together in support of the Bushfire Appeal. We've done it before and we can certainly do it again!

Please join with us by supporting the Australia Flood Appeal--a cause in which Stampin' Up! will donate $2 AUD of the retail value of sales from any stamp set (with a retail value of $30 or more) sold in Australia and New Zealand from 15 January through 15 February to the State Emergency Services in Queensland.

If there was something that you were going to order anyway, why not do it now and help support the flood victims in doing so. You can order through me at Christies_stamps@yahoo.com.au

If you are not in Australia and would like to donate to help the victims of the Australian Flood you can do so through the Australian Red Cross
