We are about 90% moved....Still re-arranging things and putting
out product. I have decided not to officially open at the new
store until Tues/Wed of next week. There is still so much
to do and take care of. We have several orders due in next
week so we should be re-opening with new items and a BIG
SALE on some older product to make way for all the new
CHA releases in 3 weeks.
Our 1st official Saturday All Day Free Crop will
be Saturday July 5th 10:30am-6/7/8pm or whenever
the cropping fun ends.
I will be in the new store most of the day
tomorrow if any of you local gals are out and
about and want to stop by and visit. I have
missed seeing everyone this past week :)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

New Store Update
We have lights and AC in the
new store.....
The electricity went on this afternoon so
tomorrow we can start moving all the product
from the old store into the new store.
All of the slat wall is up, ready and waiting
for all the paper trays. My son Jonathan
and his buddy Cord worked 10 long hours again
today moving and installing fixtures. I am one
lucky mom to have a son like him. Whenever
I need him he's there, especially if
Gerald is out of town for business. It can
be something at the house, help while moving to the
new house, when I had my emergency surgery last Dec.
opening the store, moving the store, car problems
and anything else. Same for his longtime buddy
Cord, always there willing to help out :)
Dang we are on a roll...My daughter Jen just
came out on the porch and asked if I needed
help moving all the product tomorrow and that
her buddy Josh was able to help me if I needed
more help. Great kids and great friends :)
Not sure about cropping this Saturday yet.
I just have to see how far we get moving all
the paper, embellishments etc tomorrow and
Friday. Also Gerald needs to do some
work with the die cut, cricut and sewing
machine area and he is out of town till
Thursday or Friday. The store will definately be
open on schedule by Tuesday July 1st.
We will have new store phone numbers also.
My phone was thru my lease at the old store so
I had to go with a new number. With the new
we will be listed and also have a toll free number
for our out of town friends.
I will post another update tomorrow.
It is time for this gal to go
get some rest for tomorrow. Here are
a few pics to share of my new neighbors.
I grew up with horses at my parents weekend
house in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The last
gift we opened one Christmas were horse
statues with name tags of our new horses
waiting for us. So waking up and seeing
these neighbors along the back fence
every morning brightens my day :)

Exciting News For The Store

We are starting our 3rd year of business off with lots
of exciting changes and events. The biggest one is that
we are moving the store. But we are not going
far, just across the street to the
Ingles Shopping Center. The new store will
be bigger which means room for more new
scrapping goodies. We spent the weekend
painting the new store and started moving fixtures
etc today. It should only be another day or so until
the electricity goes on and then we will move all the
product into the new store and be back open for
business and cropping fun.
If all goes well with the electricity we will be
be cropping at the new store this Saturday. I will
post to the blog as soon as I know. The new store will
also have wireless internet for everyone to use
during crops. The past few days have been a whirlwind
of activity and I would like to thank Linda, Paula, Nick,
Jonathan, Jennifer, Josh, Gene and Cord. I would have
never gotten everything done so quickly without all of
your help. I appreciate all that you did more than you
know.
