Chalk Wall Evolves!

Some of you may remember when UL introduced 3 Chalk Wall kits last spring. Each came with an innovative new chalkboard vinyl sheet and lettering and embellishments to customize it for a particular purpose. That promotion proved so popular that Chalk Wall has become part of our new catalog. But in typical UL fashion, the new offerings are much more than just the 3 kits that were available before (although those are there, too). What's really fun is that Chalk Wall now comes in shapes!

Pictured here is the Flower Confetti kit. The others, Tags and Tidbits and Stars and Dots are just as versatile and fun. What I love about these is that you can use just one piece on a small board, mirror, or even a locker. But you can also use the whole kit to fill an entire wall.

Ready to be even more creative? Chalk Wall is now available in a plain rectangle that you can customize with lettering and embellishments to create a one-of-a-kind writing surface. There are endless ways to dress up and use the plain Chalk Wall rectangle. Here are just a few ideas:



Another idea is to use one of the larger pieces from the Tags and Tidbits kit to create a Menu Board for a dinner party, or a Wine List for a wine tasting. I can think of a way to use Chalk Wall in almost every room in the house, but they are also great for school or work.

Chalk Wall Tip: Instead of chalk, try using colorful chalk markers, available in crafts and art supply stores. Clean up is easy with a damp cloth or paper towel.

I'd love to hear your creative ideas for Chalk Walls. Share them here!

BUY TWO, GET ONE FREE!
Isn't it hard to narrow down all the great choices in the Uppercase Living catalog to just one or two to order? Our new promotion makes it easy to get a few more of the items on your wish list. Simply order two things from our catalog and you'll get one FREE! The lowest priced item will be the free one. There is no limit to this promotion as long as you order in multiples of three. It's a great way to stock up on accessories for the holiday season or refresh some of the decor in your home. This promotion is only good through September 10, so please don't wait to order.
When's Your Party?
With so many great announcements from Uppercase Living (and more to come next month), I expect my schedule to be very full between now and December. If you'd like to host a party and earn some free and half-price products, please don't wait too long to schedule. And if you're planning a get-together with your friends anyway, why not turn it into an Uppercase Living party? No extra work for you and lots of extra benefits. Hostesses get first dibs on my current stack of brand-new catalogs.
Because I love to treat my hostesses, each hostess who has a party with $350 in sales or more in August, September, or October will have her name entered in a drawing for one of our new mini punched tin tiles with a coordinating expression, both in your choice of colors.
Project Classes
I'm making tentative plans to have at least 2 project parties this fall. I will have a choice of projects that you will be able to customize for yourself or gift-giving. If you're interested in attending one or both of these events, please let me know. I'd also love to hear what kinds of projects you'd like to work on so I can add them to my list. You can also have your own project party by hosting friends at your home. I will work with you to come up with several fun projects for you and your friends to choose from. Of course, you'll receive hostess benefits for a project party.
Lots More to Come in September
Uppercase Living has more new introductions next month. I won't give away all my secrets, but I can tell you that I'll be able to help make your holidays sparkle & shine, your gift giving easier than ever, and bring your precious memories to life like never before. Stay tuned for the details...
The Boring Stuff
There is nothing more annoying than spam, so please let me know if you'd like me to remove your name from my email list. Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might also like to learn more about our innovative products.
Don't forget Buy Two Get One Free and have fun browsing our new catalog.
