STAMPIN' UP! AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND BUSHFIRE APPEAL

As I sit here on the beautiful Sunshine Coast watching the heart breaking news coverage of all the fires and people who have lost everything in Victoria, I realise how lucky I am, although I recently lost my job and have be feeling low, I am thankful that I have a roof over my head and all my family and friends are safe and well.

Over the past few days, with the bushfires that have ravaged Victoria, Australia has suffered its largest natural disaster in the nation's history. We grieve with you over those who have lost their lives, loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. And like you, we feel a compelling need to help and offer support to all those who are suffering.

Together, we can help provide the assistance that the survivors of this tragedy so desperately need as they work to rebuild their families and their lives.

Join us in this effort by supporting the Bushfire Appeal--a cause in which Stampin' Up! will donate 50 percent of the retail value of sales from a select group of ten stamp sets to the Australia Red Cross Victorian Bushfires 2009 Appeal.

To help those victims of the bushfires that have ravaged Victoria, join with us in supporting the Bushfire Appeal.
