Hello Crafters!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the summer so far.  I know we have been enjoying all the great people who have coming into the store lately.  There is nothing better than meeting new crafters, even better when they share all their cool tips.
If you haven't checked out our website, CraftFancy.com, you are missing all the great projects, class samples and new product information we post there.  So be sure to check it out.

If you really want to know what is happenin' in the store, with up to date information and lots of new samples, make sure you subscribe to our blog.  Signing up for our blog is different than the sign up you did to receive this email newsletter.  It is a seperate program and thus, has its own database and list.  This is convenient for people who only want a once a month email from us and also for those people who want more, much more. 

The online store is still in progress, who knew that web stuff could be so confusing?  We are trying to make it the best for everyone involved and also make sure it works before we unveil our enormous undertaking.  I hope it will be up soon with lots of new stuff we purchased at CHA last week.

And in case anyone was curious as to what we ordered at CHA...Hero Arts, Hambly, October Afternoon, Imaginice, Making Memories Christmas line, American Crafts All New Thickers, Kodomo Stamps, KI Memories New Sheer Delights, Maya Road, 7Gypsies, Copic Markers, New Versamark Pads and much, much more.  If there is something you really want that you saw a sneak peek of, please let us know.  We love to hear from our customers and it helps us to know what everyone wants.

We hope to see you soon!
