Where has this year gone?  It seems like I was just complaining about the heat this summer and now....Thanksgiving is here?!?!  YIKES!  We are so thanksful for your friendship and support this past year, and we look forward to sharing more adventures in 2013!  Just a reminder that we will be closed this Thursday and Friday, November 22 and 23 for Thanksgiving.  We will be open Saturday, November 24 for Small Business Saturday (more on that below).  Enjoy your holiday with friends and family, and we'll see you soon!
Fondly,
Angela

  

We've been talking about it for a while, and now it's time for you to register to take advantage of Small Business Saturday!  Simply go to the American Express web site, and register your American Express card.  Registration opened today, and they do put a cap on the number of cards they will register, so don't delay!  Once your card is registered, all you have to do is spend $25 or more at our shop on Saturday, November 24, and American Express will credit $25 to your statement!  It's that simple!  Free stamping stuff!  If you're going to be out of town for the holiday, consider calling us and registering for a class that day. 

 

Do you need suggestions for what to spend your $25 on?  Here are some items that are exactly $25 (although you can certainly combine items to reach that $25 mark):

 

 

The Mega Mount is a fabulous tool for stamping the large background unmounted stamps!  The Corner Chomper will round corners like butter - it even punches through chipboard or your entire card - wow!  And, one of our favorite new tools is the Ribbon Cutter - it cuts and seals your ribbon to prevent fraying!

     

Twelve new colors of Distress Stains have arrived!  These colors match the Limited Edition/Seasonal Distress Stain colors - so they are vibrant and yummy! 

 

The new issue of Take Ten magazine has also arrived.  This is one of our favorite magazines - fully of eye candy and inspiration!  This issue features a lot of cards using Kraft paper and Washi Tape.  We just stocked the fabulous Desert Storm kraft paper by Neenah.  Shari Carroll tipped us off to this fantastic paper - it's not as porous/fibrous as other kraft papers, so it's perfect for coloring with Copics or colored pencils.  Plus, we have lots of Washi Tape, too!  Recreate to your heart's content! 

Even though we will be closed Thursday and Friday, you can still get your stamp-supply-shopping fix!  Check out this catalog - full of brand new stamping accessories!  If you see something you want, just send us an email with the item number and we will order it for you on Tuesday, November 27.  We'll have it by the first week in December - in plenty of time to put it under your tree or in your stocking! 

Don't forget, we also have gift certificates - and we make it easy for people to purchase them for you!  They can stop by the shop, of course, or give us a call.  We can either drop the certificate in the mail, or we can even email it for them to print out!  Simple and EXACTLY what you want!  703-435-0051
