Calling All Witches and Wizards. Muggles, This Is Not For You!

Like so many of you out there, I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books. I discovered them the summer my daughter was born, while I spent endless hours holding a sleeping baby (the little stinker would NOT sleep in her crib). I quickly caught up and waited anxiously for each subsequent book to be released. Each time I'd disappear for a few days until I finished the book. They are extraordinary. Now, I'm looking forward to sharing the books with that same baby who caused me to get hooked on them, since she turns 11 next week and is at that perfect Harry Potter age.

Knowing how many of you also love Harry, I'm so excited about Uppercase Living's exclusive release of Harry Potter Photo Prints, larger than life vinyl decals of Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger! Just in time for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, these are going to be fantastic for your favorite Potter fan, not to mention perfect party decor!


Each is 47" high and features a new, patented adhesive that is strong but still gentle on your walls, making the prints removable and reusable! This will make them an ideal choice for dorm rooms and apartments, even office cubicles! Their size will blow any traditional poster right out of a the water!

The Harry Potter Photo Prints are available for a limited time for only $49.95 each. However, if you order them before July 15, you can use our amazing Buy 2, Get 1 FREE Summer Splash special and get your third one FREE. No need to choose your favorite, because you can get a complete set! And if you order all three, you'll also receive 2 of our monthly bonus expressions FREE as well! No need to hit your stash of gold at Gringotts; this offer is magically affordable!

Getting your Harry Potter Photo Prints is almost as easy as waving a wand. You won't need any Floo powder, or magic spells. You won't even need a promotion code! Just send me an email or visit my website and search for Harry Potter. Don't wait too long, though, because on August 31 the Harry Potter Photo Prints will disappear. And unlike Dumbledore's Phoenix, they won't reappear once they're gone. Place your order now, and while you wait for Hedwig (or your UPS man, if you live in a Muggle neighborhood) to bring it, enjoy this trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

A Note About Returns and Exchanges

One of the many things that sets Uppercase Living apart from other places that sell vinyl decor is our generous exchange policy. In fact, your satisfaction is so important to me and our company that we offer replacement for products even after you've applied them to your wall! You have 90 days after your order date to contact me if there is ever a problem with your items. In the rare case that there's a mistake or defect on a product you've ordered, just let me know within 90 days and a replacement will be on its way to you right away, free of charge.

However, you might just decide that you don't like the placement of something you've already applied, prefer a different color or had some trouble with the application.  In those cases, you can still request a replacement and will only be charged our normal $7.95 Shipping and Handling fee.  If you find that you just don't like an item as much as you expected, you can exchange it for something different and pay the difference in their prices plus Shipping and Handling. Uppercase Living does not provide refunds in the case that your original item was more expensive than what you choose instead.  As a matter of fact, Uppercase Living doesn't provide refunds in any case, but our policy is designed to make sure you do receive a high quality item that you love and that looks great in your home.

The exception to these policies is for custom designs created in our MyDesign Suite, including Photo Prints. As you can imagine, items that are completely customized are not able to be exchanged, but most definitely will be replaced if there is a manufacturing defect.

You might think that those custom designs and Photo Prints are the only custom items we offer.  But the fact is that none of our expressions are manufactured until your individual order is submitted to our production facility. We have so many options for expressions, sizes and colors that it would be impossible to anticipate our customers' choices and create anything ahead of time. So, in reality, every expression we ship is a custom expression. Even so, our exchange policy applies to all of the hundreds of exclusive expressions in our catalog.

Another reason that we don't pre-manufacture any of our items is to make sure you receive expressions made with the "freshest" vinyl possible. That's important to make sure you'll have a smooth application, with no cracks or brittleness in your vinyl. If you've been to any of my parties, you've heard me tell you to apply your expressions as soon as possible. That way your vinyl will still be fresh and, if you run into any problems, we'll have time within our 90-day Guarantee Period to fix it or get your item replaced. Besides, you didn't purchase these expressions so they could stay rolled up in the corner of a closet. Put them up and start enjoying them now!

My last bit of advice is this: If you ever have a problem with something that you've purchased from Uppercase Living, please tell me about it no matter how long ago you bought it. Even if your 90-day Guarantee Period has passed, I may have a tip or suggestion to fix whatever the problem might be.

Hello Everyone!

Summer Splash is in full swing and already my customers and hostesses are enjoying the benefits of the Free for All. I also have a couple of ladies who are considering getting the FREE Starter Kit and enjoying the fun and benefits of joining my team . I'm excited to get them on board and share this great business opportunity with them. There is still plenty of time for you to take advantage of all that Summer Splash has to offer.

Making the Most of Summer Splash
The Buy One, Get One FREE special can not only save you a ton of money, but it also allows you to make a big statement by getting more UL for lots less. Perhaps you've been wanting to decorate a large wall with a UL Theme Pack, but didn't want to spend the money on multiple packs. Now you can basically get half of those theme packs for FREE! Maybe you've wanted to do a grouping of Grande Format trees. That would certainly get expensive, but now with Summer Splash it's totally affordable. And if you've been dragging your feet on ordering some large Photo Prints (we parents of multiple children know how quickly "I want one too" can add up) you don't have to wait anymore! With Summer Splash, you can give your home a makeover, create some great gifts and make a big decorating statement....all with Buy One, Get One FREE!

Summer Parties and New Hostess Benefit Program
The Summer Splash promotion has already been popular and my calendar is starting to fill up. This special only lasts until July 12 so there is a limited time to share the great deals with your friends by hosting your own party. Some dates are still available, so don't wait to grab your preferred one. Summer Splash gives all hostesses with qualifying parties BONUS FREE REWARDS and my new hostess program allows you to earn unlimited free products. Just contact me to schedule your party and get all the details.

San Diego Parties
I will be in the San Diego area in early July and will have limited availability to do a party or two. If you or a friend are in that area and would like to get on my schedule, please contact me. I'd love to help you introduce UL to your friends and get all the great deals and rewards we have to offer.

Customer Spotlight: Flash Frozen Photography
This month's customer spotlight is on Flash Frozen Photography in Woodland Hills. The owner, Kathy Rappaport, is a friend from way back. She's set up a beautiful studio space where she takes everything from family portraits to pet portraits to boudoir shots. She also travels for outdoor shoots, weddings and other special events. She chose the perfect expression for her studio:


You can contact Kathy at or http://www.flashfrozenphotography.com or 818.888.2280. I can't wait to see how Kathy captures my kids in our upcoming photo shoot.

More Info, Less Email
It's important for me to keep all of you up to date of the latest news about UL, but I don't want to clutter up your inbox with daily or weekly email. To stay updated on everything that's going on (and believe me, there's lots of news coming soon) just visit my blog www.pleaseuseyourwords.com, where you can sign up to get an email every time there's a new post. You can also follow me on Facebook. Visit both places for lots of photos, ideas and news about sales and specials.

Happy Birthday!
Big birthday wishes to all of you ladies with June birthdays: Yoli M., Joan C., Laura S., Lia L., and Angela T. You ladies all receive 10% off of one item in addition to Buy One, Get One FREE! If you'd like me to add your name to my birthday list, just email me with the date....no year necessary.

It's a Summer FREE For All!

For weeks now, I've been anxiously waiting for details on one Uppercase Living's biggest promotions of the year: Summer Splash. Now that they've been unveiled, I couldn't be more excited. You guys are going to LOVE this year's deals. Just when I think our promotions can't get any more generous, UL completely surprises me with the extent of the bonuses and discounts. I don't know how they do it, but I'm sure glad to be part of it.

The theme for this year's Summer Splash is FREE FOR ALL because there's something free for everyone:

  • Customers - All vinyl expressions are BUY ONE GET ONE FREE during the Summer Splash period. I've never seen this from UL! This includes all catalog and website expressions, Decorative Prints and Grande Format expressions (you know, the big pricey ones). It even includes custom designs and Photo Prints. If that wasn't enough, all accessories are now 20% off and this includes kits in our Celebrations Mini Catalog! I was able to offer this special to guests at a party yesterday and they loved it!
  • Hostesses - I love spoiling my hostesses and showing them just how much I appreciate them, so I'm excited to offer them BONUS FREE PRODUCTS in addition to what they'll get just for hosting a qualifying party. Hostesses can earn up to $40 more in free product of their choice. What's more, the amount is calculated after their Double Up Rewards are added to their party total. I also have a new hostess bonus program in place that can help my hostesses earn unlimited extra hostess rewards. If your UL wish list is bigger than your budget, now is the time to cash in on Summer Splash and get as much free product as possible by hosting your party! This special also applies to catalog parties, so there's no reason not to host.
  • New Demonstrators - While I love the Buy One Get One FREE special for our customers, I think the most exciting part of Summer Splash is the incentive for any new demonstrators: Your $99 Essentials Starter Kit can be yours FREE after you submit a qualifying party order. So not only will you be able to start your new business by offering a fantastic Buy One Get One Free special to your customers, but you can get your business started for FREE! I am super excited to share this special with my new team members (and super jealous I couldn't take advantage of it when I first started with Uppercase Living!) and help them get off to a strong start and get the most from all of the great opportunities available to us right now.
So, now, the choice is yours. Will you stock up on free expressions or perhaps decorate a room or two, will you host a party to share the wealth with all of your friends and cash in on even more free items, or will you join my team and earn a FREE starter kit and so much more when you become a new Uppercase Living demonstrator. Whichever you decide, don't wait too long. Summer Splash will be over July 12 and my calendar will be sure to fill up quickly. I can't wait to share all of our wonderful Summer Splash deals with you.

Photo Prints: The Ultimate Party Decor

When I tell my customers about Uppercase Living's Photo Prints, I find I generally get two types of responses. One set of customers instantly understand the possibilities and their minds start racing with different ideas and ways to use these uniquely personal products. The others think Photo Prints are really cool, but don't fully see how they'd use them in their own lives. Here are some photos that will hopefully appeal to both groups. Those who already love Photo Prints will probably use these examples as a starting point and begin planning how to add a Photo Print or two to their next celebration. And those who need to see them in action will see 4 great ideas and realize just one of the unique ways that Photo Prints can be used.

In each of these examples, custom lettering has been added to enhance the Photo Print.

Because the Photo Prints are reusable, they can be taken home from the party venue and reapplied to another surface.


A class picture turned into a large Photo Print is the perfect decor for this summer's class reunions.


My favorite of this bunch is this final one.


As our brave military members come home from wherever they may be serving, this Photo Print is a touching way to welcome them home. Perhaps even more important, the Print can be a constant reminder of their service while they're away from home. The perfect accent for a military theme Photo Print? A yellow vinyl ribbon, of course.

"Any Color But Black" Friday Sale

All around the nation this Friday morning, even late Thursday night, legions of Americans will be interrupting their weekend of food, family and gratitude to participate in a barbaric ritual perpetrated by retailers that has come to be called "Black Friday." These poor people will be waiting in lines, huddled against the cold, to be among the first to grab a coveted "door buster" and get a marginally good deal on a holiday item. Baited by the stores and malls, these valiant shoppers fight for parking, take their place in those early morning lines and hope it will all be worth it. Instead, they could be sleeping in their warm beds, enjoying an early morning walk, or having a slice of leftover pie with their families, all still in their cozy pajamas. Tsk, tsk. Is this what Thanksgiving weekend has come to? Black Friday, indeed.


I am here to show America a better way. Announcing Torreh's First Annual Any Color But Black Friday Uppercase Living Sale.

Now, instead of being on your feet in line, you can shop from your favorite seat at home, a cup of something warm by your side, all comfy and cozy in your leopard print Snuggie. If you don't feel like it, you don't even have to put on a bra.

Here are the rules:
  1. There will be no discounts on products ordered before noon. So don't wake up at the crack of dawn thinking you're getting ahead of everyone.
  2. Quantities are not limited. Get as much as you want, and then tell your friends and they can get as much as they want too.
  3. Discounts and promotions are not valid on website orders. You must call or email me.
  4. Only the promotion at the time of your call or email is valid at that time. However, you can plan ahead and order at more than one time.
  5. Discounts do not apply to current party or Open House orders.
  6. There will be no hitting, running, fighting, or grabbing items out of the hands of aggressive shoppers.
Now that we have that out of the way, here are the hourly deals:

Noon-2 P.M. 10% off all accessories

2 P.M.-4 P.M. Free chalk pen with all Chalk Wall purchases

4 P.M.-6 P.M. Get one free 3" embellishment with each set of coasters purchased

6 P.M.-8 P.M. 10% off all items in Shimmer Vinyl or Etched Glass - includes upgrade fee!

8 P.M.-10 P.M. FREE SHIPPING

But wait, there's still more! These additional promotions are in effect the entire day:
  • All orders of $200 or more (before tax, S&H, and discounts) qualify for hostess benefits and additional free product
  • Your pre-discounted order will be eligible to earn free monthly incentive expressions
  • Refer a friend discount: if a friend who's not currently my client places an order and tells me she or he was referred by you, you both get an additional 5% discount off your order.
  • Schedule a party discount: schedule a future Uppercase Living home party and receive 10% off your entire order placed Friday.
  • Free Value Pack offer applies to all Photo Print orders of 4x4 or greater
(this is the part where you start humming The Battle Hymn of the Republic)

So now, America, the decision is yours. Will you crawl out of your warm bed on a cold morning to fight for a few good deals? Or will you shop smarter, not harder, do something fun, enjoy spending time with your family, and have a stuffing and mashed potato sandwich while you browse my catalog and website and save money from your favorite chair. I think the choice is obvious.

Limited Time Photo Print Promotion


If you've been holding out on getting your own Photo Print, wait no more! Starting today, through Dec. 8, you will receive a FREE Photo Print Value Pack with your purchase of any 4x4 or bigger Photo Print.

Each value pack is a $14.95 value and includes:

  • 18" Photo Print of your image
  • 10" Photo Print of your image
  • 2 8" Silhouettes (all black) of your image
You can use these to decorate smaller spaces such as lockers, boards, and even your car. For all of you Open House guests who have wanted a Photo Print as small as my sample, this is how you get it. My favorite thing to do with these is to put a photo of your young athlete on the car when you drive to games and tournaments. The kids will absolutely love this. The free Value Pack also makes it more affordable to give smaller Photo Prints as gifts. One pack will give you 4 holiday gifts!

There is a ton of information on Photo Prints on my web site, but you can always contact me to brainstorm or work on some ideas. When you upload your photo to my site, make sure to email me a copy too. Then, take a picture of the finished product and send me that as well. I'll post before and after photos here. I can't wait to see the creative ways you all find to showcase this awesome product!

Photo Prints...and a Confession


I have a confession to make. I'm a procrastinator. This is not big news to those of you who know me well. And I'm really truly working on it. But I've been procrastinating about telling you all about one of our coolest new products ever for about a month now. I wasn't sure that I'd be able to do it justice; didn't want to go on and on about technical details; couldn't figure out the best way to present it, etc. Procrastinators always have such good excuses. Well, I'm done with excuses. You have to know about Photo Prints. I've decided to jump right in and go for it. Here we go!

Photo Prints are the newest innovation from Uppercase Living. Imagine your favorite family picture, or vacation shot, or wedding photo, enlarged up to 8x4 FEET and printed onto removable, reusable adhesive vinyl. Totally cool, right?

When we were first told about Photo Prints at our convention this summer, the entire room went crazy. We finally realized what all the giant photos displayed on the walls were for. Our minds started racing with the possibilities. Then we found out how affordable this product is and we realized this is something that can be available to everyone for so many different occasions and applications.

Here are some basic details:
  • Available in a range of sizes from 2x2 to 8x4 feet
  • Can be purchased as a photo with straight sides or contour cut to include only the main subject
  • Photos must be high resolution and you must own the copyright
  • Order through the MyDesign suite on my website

There, that wasn't so hard.

Now that I have the technical side out of the way, how about some ideas for using this great product? In the future I'll have more posts and lots of photos, but here are a few just for now:

  • Kids' sports pictures
  • Baby photo for the grandparents
  • Photos of deployed service members (my favorite idea is a photo of a military dad reading to the kids for them to enjoy while he's gone)
  • Weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
  • Corporate Logos
  • Businesses - what better way to advertise your product than by putting a giant photo of it on your car, van or truck?
  • Trade shows
  • Anniversary celebrations
  • Graduation parties
  • Keep vacation memories alive by creating a Photo Print of a scenic photo from your trip

The possibilities are truly endless. Photo Prints can be sweet, funny, romantic, or poignant. But they will always be impactful and memorable. For more information on how to create your own unique Photo Prints, visit my website or contact me. And if you're a photographer who would like to offer this amazing product to your clients and earn more from each shoot, contact me to learn how we can work together. Which picture are you choosing to do first?
