Good News!!

I just sent out this e-mail!!!

I was sitting here thinking about my holidays and realized how fortunate I've been this holiday season to have travelled and spent the holidays with friends and family that I don't usually see this busy time of year.

Although it was very relaxing,

I realize that the one thing I missed was........

BOXING DAY!

I'm sure many of you did as well. So............

on Sunday, January 2nd,2011 ONLY

from noon-5:00pm

**instead of double stamps**

please join us for our first ever New Years Boxing Day,

New items in liquidation

Hi All,

I am sorry to have been missing for so long. I have been travelling and visiting with family and friends. I hope that you all had a very merry christmas and that the scrapbooking santa was very generous to you.

On my return to the store today I decided it was time to retire some more items to the clearance section. These items include all the halloween items as well as many more sizzix dies. I may even add more tomorrow. You see we are counting our inventory and needless to say I'd rather sell it then count it. Also don't forget about our double stamp days!

Hoping to see all of you tomorrow (lol)!

Since that is highly unlikely, I will the wish you all a very happy and healthy 2011.

See you next year!!!

The ladies in each of the classes were dazzeled by all her talent, her generosity and they were spoiled by the amount of cards and techniques that were included in each class. The weekend was just one wonderful blur that I would do over and over again given the opportunity.

I couldn't thank Jennifer enough for coming here and making mine, and many of yours,dream come true.

it's been a while

Hi everyone,

sorry that I haven't posted lately but I have been away in Florida (no, not soaking up the sun), sitting in classes trying to learn even more about the wonderful products we all like to play with.

I took some great classes ( and a few not so great). Alot of these were stamping classes, for those who know me, I need all the help I can get. I really enjoyed creating the cards that I was taught and hope to be able to share this knowledge with you all. Also I got top take another fantastic class with Tim Holtz. His class featured the idea-ology line. All I can say is WOW. Next time you're by the store ask me to show you what I made.

While I was gone stock kept coming in. Today I have chosen to tell you about the new Dear Lizzy christmas line. Above is a picture of 3 cards made by our very own Melanie Louette. In case you didn't know, she is on the American Crafts Design Team and I found these on her blog. I loved them and wanted to share. Enjoy

Snow Day is for the young at heart

Well Crate Paper has done it again, they have created some fun new lines. For those of you who love Crate, then you will love their new lines. For those not familiar with Crate, now is good time to get to know them. Snow Day and School Spirit are verry youthful lines but Restoration is definitely for those who like a more floral and vintage"ish" line.

These papers will appeal to everyone for different reasons. Let me know yours!
