HELLO!  So, the shop has been lonely lately.  Not for lack of customers...but for lack of ME!  I've been out a lot.  My daughter started school....I have had some boo boos and have taken time to rest and get my shizzle all workin' right.  And things are good!!  Today however, marks a new month.  New and fun things happening both personally and for the store and I can't wait to share them with you.  You can always find out the current happenings by signing on to Facebook and liking the store page, but if Facebook isn't for you, you can text or email me your email address and I can get the info out to you that way.  First up, the 20 Layout Base Page...September 2nd is sold out, however there are openings for the September 8th class.  The Layouts are easily altered to fit your photos and specific needs.  The class is only $48...imagine, getting a complete album completed in 3 hours!!!  It's a great way to get caught up on your seasonal scrapbooking as well as to come and spend time with other people who enjoy your interests.  The next class is the Curiosity Shop Tray!  Deb Thomson has created another gem and she's going to be showing you how to make a wonderful keepsake using Graphic 45's Curiosity Shop papers.  It's a beautiful gift item or home decor piece.  You can find more information about it on her blog: Debspaperjourney.blogspot.com  She's got a lot of beautiful things on her blog, check it out when you have a chance.  Another thing going on later on in the month for the shop is CRAFT NIGHT!!!  Everyone is invited to Craft Night.  The first meet up will be September 23rd, Sunday, at 4pm.  We will be making some projects using Inkadinkado's new Gears Stamping System.  Look it up on YouTube.  Wonderful wonderful new stamping toy!  It's great for everything from cards to Layouts...home decor and more!!  All products sold during Craft Night are going to be at a great discount.  If you like the craft that night, you can go home with the products too...30% off to be exact!!!  I'll put up more information about that the sooner we come to it.  I'm really looking forward to it.  I will also be hosting a new ATC swap each month.  I know, I know...there are several out there---but this is a new kind, some fresh blood into the mix!!!  Monthy, I will choose a product, most likely a stamp set.  The items chosen will be sold at an extreme discount...if you like what you see, you purchase the stamp and join in the swap.  What the swap is meant to do, is show the many different ways that stamps can be altered.  You can not only put your own spin on it, but also grow your stash at uncomparable prices.  I'm really excited for that.  Take care and hope to see you in the shop soon!
Thanks.
