Sponsor spotlight - Stick'n'Giggle

Please make welcome and extend a fabulous THANK YOU to the gorgeous Jody from Stick’n’Giggle.

As well as providing some delicious goodies for our retreat goodie bags, Jody is packing up and bringing as much of her sweet little shop that she can squeeze into her car!

Jody runs Stick’n’Giggle from her home, not that you would know it look how gorgeous and spacious her home business is, Jody is also running her own retreat later on in the year  I have been to THREE Stick’n’Giggle retreats now and they are always heaps of fun……you won’t regret attending and you always, always get the best value for money and great personal service.

So if you have any special requests that you would like Jody to throw into the car, now is the time to speak up, send Jody an e-mail and let her know your hearts desire or perhaps you could buy one of her pre-made kits? Jody has an amazing eye for colour and design and the kits she puts together are always well coordinated and excellent value!

Welcome to dream.create.inspire 2011 Jody and I can’t wait to see you again!
