Unboxing my Hostess Rewards

I'm unboxing my latest Close to my Heart order that arrived at 5:15pm today!

In a global pandemic, it went from Utah to California to Hawaii to Sydney (why get stuck in the bottleneck of SYDNEY fedex!?!) to Brisbane Airport to just over the border to the NSW Rural Depot (again why in NSW?!?!?!?!?!?) to back across the border to my studio in Woodridge... in 11 days. Not toooooooo shabby.

Dear FedEx, you know you can fly from Hawaii to Brisbane
and skip going through Sydney completely?

 
My internet was reaaaally weirdly spotty while doing this unboxing video.

Goodies for daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays!

This order I closed out as hostess was a whopper. It was Level 6 of the CTMH Hostess Rewards.



👀 That means over $770 was ordered, which means I get $143 in free products AND three items at 50% off AND I also qualified for several of the top-tier hostess only bundles! 👀

Items I got with my Hostess Rewards:
CUSTOM24 cardstock pack ($34), Party Time Stamp + Thin Cuts ($21.50), Paprika and Evergreen Exclusive Inks ($18 each), 2 each of Feels Like Home ($10) and Stitched Together ($12) Picture My Life Cards, and You Are Loved M-stamp ($7.50).

Items I got at 50% off:
White & Gold Ribbon (was $11.50, clearanced down to $6, got it for $3), and 2 packs of Clear Sparkles ($7.00).

You too can get heaps of free products for being a hostess.

Hostess Rewards

I closed out my recent online party today. That means that I had all my outside orders submitted and I could see how much hostess rewards I had earned. Check it out!

This is the Hostess Rewards chart. It shows how much my party sales need to be to reach the rewards level I wanted. My party reached Level 3 rewards with over $400 in sales.

That entitles me to $70 worth of free products, and one 50% off item. It also means that I have access to exclusive hostess items to choose as my 50% off item. I made a wishlist and tweaked it to be exactly $70 worth. I chose 6 different stampsets and a pack of cardstock.

Now I had to choose my 50% off item. I decided on the Workspace Wonder Hostess Bundle. The items in this bundle can be purchased together for $178, BUT as a qualifying hostess I can get this bundle for $89!

For those playing along, that's a HUGE amount of products at a killer price. $70 in free products + $178 in organizational pieces = $248 in retail value for only $89 (plus $9.50 shipping)! WOW! That's a great bargain just for being a hostess!

You too can get these incredible rewards just by being a hostess. Check out the different rewards levels here and contact me to book your party date! My calendar is filling fast, first in best dressed!
