Where are all the Christmas shoppers???

Everybody can't possibly be done with Christmas shopping already??? I miss seeing all of my friends, customers, and those annoying people who just pop in every now and then... JUST KIDDING! I'm in a great mood. Hey! How about FREE make and takes!!! Hmmm... There's an idea! If you haven't been by the store, I'm in a giving mood so just ask me and we'll do a make and take. Stop in, take a load off, have fun! Oh, and let us help you finish your Christmas shopping!

See you soon!!!

It's Sunday, and it's snowing

As promised, we are open on Sundays through December. The challenge today is to work on our class calendar and to get it online tomorrow. I'm anxiously awaiting several orders from Creative Imaginations and Notions (a distributor for a wide variety of things from stickers, and embellishments, to tools and storage.)

Friday we will be hosting our gift wrap crop. Bring your unwrapped gifts, wrapping paper and tape, and we'll swap paper, share stories, and use some of our tag dies to make tags for all those special gifts. Call ahead so we can have enough hot chocolate for everyone!

Settling in and gearing up for the New Year

Wow! What a year it's been already! I'm falling in love with all my customers and new friends who've come into the store. Hold on tight, because we've got a big schedule coming in January and February.

First, Creative Cafe is undergoing a facelift. We will offer 4 projects for the month, all released the first of the month and available until the last day or until kits are sold out. We are also going to "bulkify" more of the products. We will separate units into smaller pieces so you can buy only what you need.

Classes, classes, classes. We've rethought our class schedule and will be offering a greater variety of classes in the evenings and on weekends. We also are creating classes for younger scrappers including K-3rd grade, 6th-8th grade, and Teen classes and crop nights. We are looking for teens who have great class ideas to share to either teach the class, or just provide us with ideas.

Contests! Every month, we will have a page contest. Want to participate? Come into the store with your best ideas and we'll foot the bill! We'll give you an amount to spend to create your page, give you the use of the classroom for up to 2 hours to design and assemble your page, and showcase the completed pages for a contest to be held the last week of the month. You can win great prizes and gift cards for the store. January's theme will be winter. It's simple so I think you can be really creative with it.

Finally, start planning your Valentine's cards! We're ordering stamps and papers now so they'll be in for our January classes.

NEW!!! ATC swap! If you haven't already heard of altered trading cards, we'll be having a class on how to create them. And the fun part? You create the cards to swap with friends. You both will gain new, creative ideas and make lasting friendships in the process. The swaps will be held every month starting in February on Saturday mornings.

If you haven't been in the store lately, you need to stop in. We've gotten more stickers, embellishments, and there are albums on their way! If we don't have your email, you need to get it to us now! We'll be sending out weekly coupons to those on our email list. We must have your email for you to use the coupon.

Our holiday hours are in effect now through the end of the month. M-Th 10-7, Fri 10-10, Sat 9-7, Sun 1-6
