I have not heard anythong about that, but I am not at regionals either! But, if it is true..... hopefully that means the UK is not far behind, as I am moving there in about 6 weeks!

Does anyone who is at regionals know what is up with this??????

Hi Karen, it's true. I'm a demo who just moved to Australia 4 weeks ago (Peregian Beach, QLD). I'm so excited! It won't be until Autumn though. If you need any further info let me know!

Awesome. I hope this means that SU comes up with some great really Aussie sets, or as they used to say when I lived there back in the early 80's: "true blue dinkie-die Aussie". Do Australians still say that?, or is that like so disgustling out?

You still hear the "True Blue & Dinkie-die" around the traps, but not as much in recent times.

This news is very exciting, I am so thrilled to hear they coming - AT LAST! I'll be signing up for sure! Autumn isn't that far away, I can wait...<chomping on the bit>......we've waited this long...

Okay, so now I'm going to have to have a fit - they can't really go to Australia without going to New Zealand can they? I'm finally moving home in 3 weeks and I'm already feeling upset about leaving my "addicition" behind in the States - I would be the happiest stamper in town if someone would tell me that they are coming all the way down under to New Zealand????

Anyone?
Anyone?
Anyone?

Well I really wish I could find it in myself to be pleased for all you Aussies, but if I'm being honest I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed - I really hoped that it would be England next! :( I was gutted when I heard the news. But really, I AM delighted for you. Grrrr.

I have been looking in the Stampin' Up website, and there are a couple of interesting articles in the News Room, about how they introduced SU to Canada in 2002. Shelli and other SU employees travelled around to 5 major Canadian cities and held opportunity nights. For those Aussies wishing to read more, here are the links:-
