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.

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.

Updates/ Ideas

The days are just flying past. I had to run to the grocery store and was surprised to see all the Holiday stuff out in the front of the store! Guess, I don't get to the grocery store to often 't and I am telling you something you didn't know but I was sure taken back. Then it hit me, yeah

Thanksgiving is Thursday. Like I really did need to be reminded.

Well their are some major things going on in the store and I wanted to keep you all up to date.

Needless to say I will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and also on Black Friday. Saturday will be Black Saturday for Country Scrappin. WE WILL BE HAVING A STORE WIDE SALE! Make sure to come by. Look for more messages via email if you are registered with the store or check out the Blog site if not.

The other thing I wanted to tell you about involves some web sites I have been visiting as of late. One site is owned by a friend of mine Al he is extremely talented and is a digital artist. He has this fantastic web site that you can go to and join. He not only gives you great downloads he has created but also allows you to use them. Check out his site it is : www://actionfx.com.

If your into digital that is the place to go. While I am on the subject of digital, one of my customers came in the store the other day for epson 12 x 12 copies of her scrapbook. The results were absolutely amazing! She was very pleased and so was I. She hadn't told me that she scrapbooked digitally and as I was printing up her beautiful pages I began to look real close at them. That is when I thought they might be digital. It about blew me away. In any case if you do digital and you need to print them out for what ever reason, come by and give my store a shot at printing out your copies.

Other sites that I recommend are: VintageCollage- get some free vintage pictures, scrapbooksetc.com- has a lot of holiday ideas going on, check them frequently.

Bye for now,

Donna

A recent store view

We gave the camera to my 10 year old son while Donna and I were discussing classes. The project for him was to take pictures of the store. These are what he came up with. He did pretty good- you see pretty much the entire store, including the crop room!
