Saturday Night Crop Added!

A few girls called and asked if we could add a crop, so we did. If anyone would like to join us this Saturday night, call the store to reserve your spot. - Veronica K.

Updated Pics - Garden Album



Ok so I am finally completely done. Yay! I know I named it a Garden album, but the theme seems to be Grow. So I guess it could work for babies, children or gardens. The album will now take up residence at the store for the next few weeks. The class seems to be filling up, so if you would like a spot or a kit be sure to call and sign up soon.

start arriving next Wednesday. Many of these lines will be new lines to the store. We will be posting and emailing pics of the new goodies as soon as they arrive.

National Scrapbook Day was a great day! We enjoyed spending the day/night cropping with all of our terrific customers. I actually got almost 3 altered chipboard albums for gifts done. Several gals were shocked to see me actually sitting still and cropping for so long :)

We had lots of laughs & stories compliments of 2 terrific customers Erika and Jennifer. Veronica did 2 make and takes for everyone. We had some great goodies for everyone including Autumn Leaves Transparency Paper Packs and Stamped Alpha CD's for all the gals. Hope everyone has a use for those great goodies :)

The winner of our filled Large Junkitz Bag was Erika. She won a Bag filled with Fancy Pants, Autumn Leaves, Making Memories etc. goodies.
She came into the store and picked up her bag when I was out Tuesday and escaped without us getting a picture :( We will get her next time she comes cropping.

Speaking of cropping our next all day crop is Saturday May 19th! Cropping starts at 10am and continues until 12 midnight. Crop fee of $15 includes all the cropping. snacks, drinks, dinner, goodie bags and more!
Signups have already started so if you can join us please call the store

Summer Camp for pre-teens

As many of you may or may not know. The store was my Mother's Day gift last year from my hubby :) After opening late last summer I resigned from Michaels Arts and Crafts Chain as an Event Coordinator in early October after many many years. I created many many summer camps and events for them over the years and loved being with the kids and preteens(last year alone the Cumming Michaels had +2500 kids attend the camps) sooooooooooooo I have decided to offer a summer camp for
pre-teens at the store 3 days a week. The crafting is geared towards children 7 and up. We will have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am-12noon. Each camp day will cost $12 and include all the supplies for that day's project. We have some great crafts planned including a flip-flop accordian album, disney accordian album, altered clipboard, altered canvas and more. Signups started today and each class is limited to 12 students. You can either come into the store and register or call in and register. I am sure these classes/crafts will be a big hit :)

Ok I think that is it for tonight. Time to head home and continue the quest for more of the latest and greatest :)
Nite :)

We also received another line from GIN-X **As You Wish** papers, all about me labels and alphabets and more coasters for the

****Summer Store Hours****

Hi Everyone

After alot of thinking I have decided to change our store hours on
Sundays for the Summer Months.

Effective this weekend we will be closed on Sundays thru August so that we can have "Family Time" with our families on Sundays.

Sundays have always been family get together days for my family (more so since my father passed away) and since the store opened I have only spent a few Sundays with my mom. (3 I think) Also having a 20 year old son and a soon to be 18 year old daughter graduating high school in 21 days I know my special Sundays with them are limited. Veronica has 2 little cuties of her own and I want her to be able to have her family time on Sundays as well.

Since Scrapbooking revolves around families and memories I hope all of our awesome customers will understand and visit us Mon-Sat during the summer months :)
