Bushfire Appeal...

Being Australian, it seems that bushfires are a very natural occurance in our summer months. But we are being told by the authorities that some of these recent fires were deliberately lit. I totally don't understand how anyone could do this, especially on one of the hottest day ever recorded.

Everyone has rallied to support those people whoes lives have been devastated by these fires. including Stampin' Up!. They are offering the following special:

From 12 February through 31 March 2009, Stampin’ Up! will donate 50 percent of the retail value of all sales from a select group of 10 stamp sets to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfires 2009 Appeal.
