Anna Griffin Holiday is beautiful...

and is in stock! Her new Georgette collection is a mixture of metallics, but very subtle (and so pretty)! The Holiday papers are starting to roll in, giving everyone a bigger selection with which to make holiday cards (yes, starting already).

Scrapbook Yard Sale

Apparently I neglected to mention our Yard Sale in the last newsletter, so I wanted to give everyone a head's up who hadn't heard yet. Our next Scrapbook Yard Sale will be Sun 10/5 from noon to 5pm. We are planning on doing something a little different this time around. Instead of limiting sellers based on our crop room capacity, we have arranged to use a vacant unit in our building for the sale. With this change comes a small fee. We will be deducting a $3 fee from each seller at the end of the sale (it will come off the gift card). While this is minimal, we're just covering some expenses in using the other space. We're always looking for ways to improve the sale, and this one is no exception. Even though we're planning on a larger sale, we've got some updates planned to keep things running smooth. So if you're interested in selling, please contact the store to be assigned a seller code. Sellers will be able to set up their goods between 11am and noon on that day. Sellers are responsible for removing their unsold goods or choosing to donate them. Pick up is between 5 and 6pm. Sellers will have until Monday to pick up unsold items, but after that we will no longer have access to the other building, and are limited on storage space. Spread the word - the more buyers the better! We'll also be advertising the sale to increase sale awareness. So sellers, get pricing!

We did it!

We won Best Arts & Crafts store!!! I love you guys! I couldn't be happier, and I have our wonderful customers to thank for it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think that sums it up!

Waiting (im)patiently

I just looked on WDIV's website, and it looks as though they'll be announcing the Shopping category winners tomorrow! I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Collage Press Arrived

The new Collage Press lines, Camden and Jackson Lodge, are finally here! These double-sided papers and journaling card pages are awesome! I wish I had pictures to post, but I can't get them from their website. But you can find images in their catalog on www.collagepress.typepad.com.

New Kelly Panacci and more!

I absolutely love the new Kelly Panacci His/Hers papers! These adorable man/woman themed papers and stickers are her newest release from Sandylion.

We also received their new Hannah Montana and High School Musical paper (yes, paper) and stickers. My kids aren't old enough to be fans yet, but if they were - they'd be in luck!

Oh, and I can't forget... we just received 2 new books from Creating Keepsakes: Joy of Scrapbooking and Joy of Card Making (Collector's Edition).

New, new, new...

Wow, have a holiday weekend, and all new products pour in the next week! We've got new Cosmo Cricket, including Mr. Campy, Jack's World and Haunted. More Scenic Route Sonoma came in as well. Plus (drum roll)... the new Frightful Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle is here!!!

I looked in another box we just put in the computer from Creative Imaginations, and I think I've seen my favorite Halloween paper yet! Plus, there's new boy papers, school, Marah Johnson, Art Warehouse and more! We're working on getting it all on the shelf before the weekend.
