Upcoming Events.

Please check out the calendar upcoming for March. April will plan to be a busy month.  We are planning a Garage sale!  Do you have lots of scrap booking and craft making tools in great condition and don't use anymore?  If you do start getting them ready for the sale at the Country Scrappin Store coming up in April?

Keep checking this site for more details but it plans to be a great event.

In a addition we will be having National Scrap Book Day on the First Week of May!
So mark your calendars and stay tune for more details.


With Spring and Easter just around the corner come to the store for new spring papers. They are in and out, boy are the great.  Everyone seems to love them.  In addition I have also recieved some new religious papers in.  Ask and I have placed it in the store.  Have some new additional Karen Foster papers coming in to the store this week.  So be sure to stop by soon!

UPCOMING EVENTS Retreat

Hi,

Just wanted to let you all know that the spaces for overnight are going fast.  Have 3 remaining so if you intend on going please get in with your deposit.  If you find that you can not attend the sleep over we have evening slots available on Friday night, plus Saturday.  Although it won't be as much fun as the sleep over we will be having special events and prizes at those times too!  You can let your husbands and family know that this would be a great present for you on Mothers day.

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.

Weekly update.

Well tonight was the first class of the 8 week scrap booking class.  With Fall just around the corner the two pages we made tonight will assist these class members in scraping some of the pictures from this summer.

I am now the owner of two wonderful miniature horses.  Their names are Firefly and Buttercup and they are just beautiful.  I have been spending all my extra time establishing a relationship with them.  As soon as I get some pictures I will post them.  Oh, I also forgot to mention that Buttercup is pregnant and will have another addition in April.  I am so excited !

If your in the area stop by and see them.

Bye for now,
