Greetings, friends!
Happy May! Marilynn and I have only been back from the trade show for a week and a half, and already the boxes are pouring in! That's incredible. You know we have a ton of boxes to open when our friendly UPS guy pulls out his CART! Wow! I'll keep this brief as I have a lot of boxes to unpack - read on to find out what else we're up to!
Fondly,

Odds & Ends
May Paper of the Month
We had so much fun last month with the launch of our new Paper of the Month display at the shop that we could hardly wait for May! This month, we're featuring Jillibean Soup. We couldn't settle on our favorite collection, so we brought in FOUR!!!! More is always better - right? The collection above is Fresh Vegetable Soup and includes stamps, tags and even notecards! We also have Irish Farm Stew (with bicycles, newsprint, suns and more), Macho Nacho Soup (in time for Father's Day) and Chilled Cucumber Soup (with flowers and butterflies). These papers are bright and fresh and will have you hungry for summer!
Great American Scrapbook Convention
We've mentioned in previous emails that the convention will be in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 25 and 26. But, we didn't want you to miss the fun you used to have in June, so we are setting up our own little mini convention! Save the date - Friday, June 21 the folks from Sweet and Sassy stamps will be here with their trade show booth, complete with demos and make-and-takes. Then, on Saturday, June 22, the folks from Just Rite will be setting up their trade show booth with lots of demos as well! We'll have grab bags, prizes and more! Stay tuned for more information! |
