Greetings, friends!
If you haven't stopped by in a while, please do! It's easier than ever to get here. There is a wonderful "turn lane" with an arrow when you turn onto our street from Sunset Hills, and they are done paving our street. It's like butter :-) New product is already starting to trickle in from CHA that just ended yesterday, and more fabulous new items are on the way - so what are you waiting for???
Fondly,
Angela |

10th Anniversary!
It just doesn't seem possible! Where does the time go? We are so grateful to still be here - 10 years is a long time, and there have been so many changes in the industry - vendors and artists and friends have come and gone. We appreciate you making it possible for us to continue our creative journey together! We will be celebrating on Saturday, September 28 from 10-5! We are still working out all of the demonstration details, etc. (because we're waiting to get our hands on the new product from CHA - wahoo), but we do expect the make-and-take portion of the event to sell out quickly, so we wanted to get at least some of the information in your hands as quickly as possible! Visit our website to register for the fabulous make-and-take session from 2-4 PM. It features a Halloween Hoop, a Sizzix Pop 'n Cuts card and more! And stay tuned for even more details! |

What's New?
We've been receiving new merchandise for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas already, including NEW stamps and dies from Memory Box and new stamps from Northwoods. Plus, the long awaited new colors from Kaleidacolor have arrived! We have samples of all 4 multicolor pads in the shop. Wow! They work beautifully with the new grunge images from Impression Obsession!

What's On the Way?
Ranger and Impression Obsession were 2 of the hottest vendors at CHA (which is the HUGE industry trade show that takes place twice a year and just ended yesterday). We have HUGE orders outstanding with both companies (as well as several others). From Ranger, be on the lookout for 12 new colors of Distress Markers in their stunning seasonal colors like Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn. We also have Tim's new Watercolor paper on order. It's pre-cut to card size, and it has a smooth size AND textured side for perfect stamping and blending every time. We have new stencils from Dyan Reaveley as well as her uninked stamp pad (for creating your own sprayed custom pad) and a new size of journal. New Tim Holtz stamps and Stencils. New colors of Stickles....and more! Let us know if there's something you'd like us to hold for you when it arrives, or keep your eyes peeled to our "What's New" page for up-to-the-minute updates as things arrive!

Odds & Ends
Dee's Demos
For the past year, Dee has been offering sensational demos the first Tuesday of each month. She is retiring from this duty (but not from working the shop, so don't worry!) on Tuesday, August 6. Be sure to stop in August 6 between 12-2 for her final demo. She will be creating a project that incorporates a little bit of everything she's taught in the last year. Wow - a demo on steroids!!! Don't miss it.
Beginning Tuesday, September 3, I (Angela) will be taking on the role as hostess with the mostess on Learn at Lunch Tuesdays. We'll gather every Tuesday between 10 & 12, and I'll show you a new product or technique that I'm excited about. Sept. 3's demo will feature 3-D Stamping Paint from Viva Decor. These events are ABSOLUTELY FREE, and no reservation is required!
Graphic 45 Week
How great is it that Graphic 45 will be releasing 3 new collections the same week that I (Angela) turn 45?!?! It seems like a couple of good reasons to celebrate, in my opinion!
Stop in Friday, September 6 (my birthday) and get your hands on the new paper collections: 12 Days of Christmas, Tyopgraphy and Mother Goose. Also, snag a birthday cupcake! We'll continue celebrating all of next week - Tuesday, I will lead the Learn at Lunch demo featuring the new papers and the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. The Thursday make-and-take will feature the new papers, and there will be a Graphic 45 contest - with a $45 gift card as the prize. More details will follow, but definitely mark your calendars for a fun-filled week!!!!!
