Thank You Everyone! We have a WINNER!!!

Thank you for celebrating an amazing year with us! Saturday was wonderful! I can't believe a year has passed by so quickly.  I can't wait to see what the New Year will bring!  I'm ready! :-)

Don't worry, I didn't forget...I promised to give away a New "Cricut Pumpkin Carving" Cartridge to a lucky Saturday shopper! I listed all receipt numbers in a list randomizer to choose the winning number...and the winner is...Becky Clossman! Congratulations Becky, your number came up!!! LOL! These were receipt numbers from Saturday (it was the easiest way to enter everyone :-)) If you look at the bottom of your receipt you will see one of these numbers if you were one of the 43 shoppers from Saturday! :-) WOW!  Scroll down to see more photos from Saturday.

Bethany & the little princesses came to celebrate!

Riley picked out my balloon! I LOVE DISNEY! ;-)

Ms. Mary brought a beautiful bouquet to celebrate!

Shopping in full swing!

Watch Vincent...he'll add to your pile! LOL!

Vince got a gift from his biggest fan...Momma Geri! ;-)

Quick Anniversary Post!

We just left the store less than an hour ago! My Hubby and kids worked tirelessly to help find places for my addiction! Alas...we ran out of space! LOL!  My hubby laughed all evening and asked me where I was going to put everything.  He never once asked me to stop ordering! Of course he knew I wouldn't listen ;-).  I posted some store pics on Facebook, but I have to show you why my Dear Dear Hubby is still laughing at me...

We ran out of even desk space for these...

Got Marvy out! Yes...The Snow writers! LOL!

MY DESK!

Yes, They are really stacked that high...not just spread out! LOL!

The itty bitties are hanging EVERYWHERE!

Ok, so this is just a very small taste! We got Marvy out, Unity is...well...EVERYWHERE!  American Crafts is out and several others.  We finally finished getting out all of the So Sophie line by My Minds Eye.  Lost and Found and Haunted will both make it...somewhere out on the floor next week as soon as we find some space. Little Yellow Bicycle came today...That had to wait, too...

There are still several shipments here that we didn't have time or space for!!! AND we are expecting shipments from Studio Calico, Best Creations, Webster's Pages, Prima, The Girls Paperie, We R Memory Keepers, Basic Grey, Graphic 45, & probably a few others I have forgotten about!  I'm soooo loving this!!! Good Night & See YOU in a few hours!!! ;-)

ANNIVERSARY!

We are celebrating ONE YEAR on Saturday, September 4!!!  I want to Thank you all for such an amazing outpouring of support.  I feel so blessed.  Our family has grown so much over this past year and we've laughed and cried.  I'm not just talking about things with the store.  "Customers" don't laugh or cry with you you while your hubby is deployed. Or take your kids under their wings...that's "FAMILY" :-).  So to all of "MY FAMILY" out there...THANK YOU &  I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY!!! We appreciate all of your continued support & can't wait to see what the new year will bring! If you aren't part of our family yet...EVERYONE is WELCOME! :-) We would love to welcome you home, too!

Please check your e-mails! I sent out an extra special goodie for Saturday (Tee Hee)! Make sure you print it out & bring it with you!  We will have cake (of course there's food involved! LOL!).  We are going to start FREE Make N' Takes at 11a.m. and continue them through 3 p.m.! We are going to be using Peachy Keen Stamps with the Make N' Takes, too!!!  There will be demos and MORE!  Come shop on Saturday & be entered into a RAFFLE TO WIN the NEW PUMPKIN CARVING CRICUT CARTRIDGE! We will be putting things on sale and WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE I MIGHT COME UP WITH ;-)!

Shop Saturday 9/4 & Enter To WIN!

SEE YOU SOON!

What's New?

Shipments are coming in faster than I can get them counted...maybe if I stopped talking so much...LOL! NAH! I will eventually get it all out. :-) 

The new Marvy Snow Marker is the only paper and fabric embellishing marker that puffs up after you heat it with a heat tool. Ideal for light and dark paper and fabrics. Super easy to use, free hand or with a template and it's ACID FREE! It's pretty cool and guess where you can get yours? You GOT IT! RIGHT HERE!!! LOL! They just came in and will be ready for purchase...as soon as i stop talking and put them in the computer! ;-)

Webster's Pages Vintage Sparklers are here, too! They are sooo pretty! Jenni Bowlin's new chipboard buttons, new storage solutions, MORE Peachy Keen Stamps are just in (pumpkin faces, baby faces & more!), The Pink ATG's were back in again (sold out again already...but they are back on re-order!), MME Lost & Found & So Sophie are here (we're working on getting it in the system & on the floor :-).  Everything that we have received so far should be ready to go by this weekend! :-)

Unity Stamps just arrived, Little Yellow Bicycle's Boo-ville just shipped and should be here next week...oh man! I think Vince might have been right (Don't tell him, though!!! LOL)...WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PUT IT ALL??? TO BE CONTINUED...

Check out SC Scrapbook News!

The gig is up ladies!!! Our fun is out of the bag! Unbeknown to me, we were featured on Susan's wonderful blog, Paper Cafter's Corner! Check it out here!
http://www.papercrafterscorner.com/south_carolina/2010/08/fun-at-scrappin-happily-ever-after-last-weekend.html
Susan, Debby & all of the other wonderful reporters for Paper Crafter's Corner are hard at work to help bring all of the crafting news right to us! Thank you ladies...your work is greatly appreciated! :-)

Ok! Let's try the comment thing now! LOL!

I updated settings and must have changed something. I was wondering why there weren't any comments yet! LOL! I know most of you are up throughout the night, too! I apologize...but hopefully the adjusted settings will work now.  Let me know if you still can't post! :-)

Do you see what I see...

I thought it would be fun if we had a mini challenge that EVERYONE can participate in! I have been looking, shopping, looking, shopping, shopping  looking! It's so much fun!  Sometimes I see things that you don't, but I LOVE having you all help me, because a million eyes are better than just TWO! LOL!  You ladies have brought me wonderful companies like Studio Calico! I would have never known about them, but I am soooo glad I know now!  I have already placed my order and they are shipping mid September! WOO HOO!

We will premier Studio Calico's newest "Elementary Line" as our initial venture. I'm in love with it! The fab rips are going to be sooo much fun to work with!  If you like October Afternoon, Pink Paislee, & Graphic 45...you might as well add "Studio Calico" to the list! Here's a sneek peak...

 That's just a quick snippit, but I so enjoyed sharing!  I would love if you all shared, too!  Become a follower and leave a comment about your favorite NEW LINE, NEW TOOL or NEW RELEASE!  That's it! We will choose a winner by random selection through list randomizer at the end of our challenge.

So here are the rules spelled out...
1. You must be a follower.
2. Leave a comment telling us what your favorite NEW release is (must be a new release - tool, paper line, product line, etc.)
3. Challenge begins now and will end at midnight on August 31, 2010.
4. We will place all names in a list randomizer on September 1, 2010 & choose our winner.

The winner will receive a mini giveaway gift valued at $10 or more! Not bad for a comment and you never know what products could be selected or show up at Scrappin Happily Ever After! It could already be here, could be on it's way...or it could be up to YOU to bring YOUR favorite to my attention! REMEMBER...I LOVE TO SHOP!!! ;-)

Congratulations to Joanna, the winner of our Blog Challenge!
