September 2008
Hello Crafters!

Well, summer is quickly coming to an end.  As much as I love the cooler weather and the chance to wear all my favorite sweaters, I am still upset that it seems the summer blew past with just a blink of the eye. 

And even harder to believe is that Halloween, Thanksgiving and the holiday season is quickly approaching.  If you haven't been in the store in a while, you are missing the new Halloween papers and embellishments we now have stocked.  As well as some other amazing new products, see the article below.  And Holiday stuff is coming soon, we will have it in the store September 15th.  First, we have to find somewhere to put it!! 
In an attempt to make room for all the great new products we purchased at CHA in July, we are now featuring a sale item a week.  See all the details below and remember, a lot of product is not re-stocked, so once it is gone...it's gone.

Our classes and crops are all in full swing now, so be sure to check out our schedule for September and the sneak peek of the Vintage Treasure Box Class is below and will have more photos posted to the Gallery and Blog as well.

And don't forget to stop by the store and vote for the best school themed item.  We will have those in the store as well as online after September 3rd.

We hope to see you soon!

Vintage Treasure Box with Louise Granlund
This month, we are so happy to announce that Louise Granlund has agreed to bring some of her creative magic to the store and share it in this amazing class.
You will start with just a plain box and use some inks, great pro
Logoducts and your pictures to create this little treasure that would make a great gift or be a great display piece in any home.
This class features tons of great products from 7Gypsies, Graphic45, Tim Holtz, and Maya Road.  It's a great mixture of product and technique that really makes this a wonderful experience.
Stop by the store today to see this wonderful treasure first hand.  We will have more photos of this project in our gallery as well as featured on the blog soon.
