(tax & s/h will be charged on the total before the discount)

Don't forget that you can pick up some GREAT DEALS in the CLEARANCE RACK  and also pick up some GRAB BAGS!!! Tons of deals! PLUS this is the last month to shop from the  Occasions Mini!!!

If you purchase through my store, I will send you a cheque for the savings as the store cannot discount your order. Otherwise, give me a call or email with your order.

PLUS, I'd love to have you join my team this month- the INKredible Canadian Divas- and I thought I'd sweeten the deal!!!
