STAMPS STAMPS AND MORE STAMPS!

Hi ALL,

It appears that my life has taken on a new meaning.  By that I mean that stamps are every where I turn.  As some of you know I had some gently used stamps for sale last week.  Boy, once the word got out people just kept coming.  Well I thought I was done and on Saturday I was re organizing the supply room and guess what?  More stamps showed up!  If I didn't know better I would have thought that they were multiplying back there.  In any case I have more stamps so come on in.

Also have gotten some great new Quickutzs in for Easter.  They are just great!  And did I mention that I am going to have a blow out sale of all the Quickutz Squeeze tools!  Yep, as you know Quickutzs is discontinuing production on them  DON'T PANIC-  THE 2 X2 ARE NOT, I REPEAT NOT GOING OUT!  Just the Squeeze tool itself.  Once gone you will have to use the Revolution tool to cut with them that is much easier and you can put at least 4 down at a time to cut.  Back to the sale.  I am selling the squeeze for the insane price of $29.99.  That also includes the one set of alphabet letters that comes with the tool itself.   Normally this retailed for 79.99. a big savings.  But when they are gone they will be gone.  So if you love your squeeze, or want to get one come on in.  It is truly a great deal.

More and more papers and embellishments are coming in daily.  I just got an order in from 7 Gypsies with their new electric punch.  Talk about easy!  come on in and demo it if you don't believe me.

I also have ordered more Moose "Riley" stamps.  They are on their way in.  Mellisa took some pictures of some of the great designer cards that Krissy of Hana Stamps sent to me with my order.  They are making a big splash in the valley and going as quick as I put them out.  In addition Krissy has come out with a paper doll set this month that I ordered.  Just think about all those outfits you can make out of your scraps, and the kids- boy will they be happy !

You will have to just come in to see it all.

Arrived in Annaheim

Hi you all,

Wanted you to know that I arrived yesterday with Terri Ott from Eyelets-etc.  We unloaded her van, just like mine, with product that she sells as a manufacturer and started to assemble her booth for the show.  We finished it about half way in about two and a half hours. Pretty tired when that was done after the drive from Las Vegas we returned to the hotel and scrap booked for a couple more hours then we were both pretty done for the evening.

Today we visited two other scrap book stores locally, had lunch at the Olive Garden and went to Kohl's shopping, plus to staples etc.  We just returned back to the hotel at about 8 pm.  We plan to scrap more tonight and I wanted to catch up on the blog.  Plus, I purchased a new store mascot that I need your help in naming.  

I will be taking lots of pictures of her at the show and while away.  So we will need a name upon my return to Montana.  She is a little eagle and loves to travel with me.  There will be a prized for the best name!!  I will post a picture of her later on and edit this posting so you can see her!

So  your minds going !  We want a her to have a cute name.

Andy tells me you all have been really great at the store and he appreciates your shopping with us while I am in California.

ON MY WAY TO CHA!

Just wanted to let you all know that I am on my way to the Big Craft Hobby Show in California. While I am away my Husband Andy and son Sean are running the store.  In order to keep them busy I put all of the Fall, Halloween and Christmas papers and embellishments on sale.  Don't want them to have to much fun while I am gone.  So be sure to stop by and say hello and look at the great value you can get.

From now on I will be sending you notes and pictures of things that happen or are happening on my way to CHA via Las Vegas.

So here it goes:

After flying to Las Vegas I will be meeting up with Terri Ott who owns Eyelets Etc. We will be driving together to California in her Van.   I stock Terri's product and I know that many of you have the wonderful eyelet setter that Terri makes.  I  know up until she came out with her eyelet setter I was unable to set eyelets correctly.  Plus, the washer back that she sells is great and prevents a lot of paper tearing and just looks so much more professional.  For those of you that don't know This product take a look at her  web site.  The product is durable, inexpensive and easy to use.  Plus, you don't have to worry about it this tool will set in the middle of your scrap book page, card or layout.

The weather in Las Vegas was 70 and Sunny. Actually once the plane cleared the airport we were out of the inversion and the skies were blue.  I am thinking of those of you in Montana and hoping that you to get some blue skies soon.  

While in Las Vegas I will visit with my older son, shop a little, and check out some local scrap book stores.

Will update you more in the next couple of days.

Be writing again soon.

Merry Christmas & Digital Scrappin

Hi,

Wanted to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas. Thanks for the great season at the store for those of you that shop with me. Couldn't make it without you all.

Have a great web site for you all to check out! It is run by a friend of mine and he has a wonderful web site with lots and lots of downloads :

actionfx.com

Tried to download a direct link but it isn't working for me. So much for computer literacy, what can I say.

The last few days have been busy and we had a major issue occur in addition. Our faithful family dog Lucy was hit by a car. Thank God she is ok, minus a broken leg. Thank goodness for our Vet and the specialist that came in from Whitefish. She is now on the mend with a plate in her leg to assist her in healing faster and better mobility. Many of you know her since she comes to the store with me often. From now own you will be seeing more of her because I am going to keep her with me every second. She is not getting out of my site. Her being here with me is one of the best Christmas presents ever!

Now that I have bored you, need to remind you all that the store is closed till January 7th. We will be having a small crop on the day after Christmas from 10 AM -4 PM. If you are really interested in signing up there is one spot left. You must contact me by email. The cost is $25.00 and includes lunch and snacks. I will be checking Christmas evening and will email you with a response.

Look forward to a big big sale day coming when we reopen on the 7th of January.

Have a wonderful, safe and Happy Christmas.

Donna and Family
