Operation We R Grateful!

We R Memory Keepers (the makers of Crop-a-Dile) is sponsoring a card contest to benefit Operation Write Home.  This organization collects cards to send to troops stationed all over the world to send home to their family.  We are thrilled to serve as a Drop Zone for this contest.  Here are the details:  Drop off your handmade cards by July 31.  Don't use glitter (it can make the troops visible at night).  Line the inside of dark cards with a light paper to make writing easier.  Include an envelope.  On the back of the card, write Operation Write Home.  Fill out an entry form at the shop for us to include with your cards.  Cards must fall into one of the following categories:  Love (Anniversary/Missing You/Thinking of You), Any Hero, Thank you, Birthday, Holiday or Get Well.  Only one form per category per person is required.  We R Memory Keepers will choose several winners for fabulous prizes from all of the entries.  Plus, if our store collects the most cards, we will win prizes we can give away as well, including a crafting cruise for one of our customers!  Wow!  Visit their website for more details, and start dropping off those cards!

Welcome Zana Clark!

We are so excited to welcome for the first time Zana Clark, owner of Stamp Zia!  Zana will be here teaching a series of workshops October 15-16.  These workshops are full of fabulous new techniques, including masking, watercolor and even uses for salt that will take you way beyond the card!  And best of all, if you take all 5 workshops, you'll save $30 on registration fees!  Take a look at her spectacular art, then reserve your spot today!
