Stop in soon, BUT don't forget... I'm Closed this weekend ( Closing early on Friday Jan.28 @ 3p.m. & closed Jan.29 - 31).  I will be open with my college weekend stories on Tuesday, February 1! :-)

Did I almost miss January? LOL!

I never set New Year's Resolutions because, in my mind, they are always made to be instantaneously broken.  Although I would like to blog more often, lose weight, get organized, etc. I will just have to take it one step at a time :-).  Nonetheless, we are off to a FABULOUS YEAR!  Barring the inclement weather, which has made for some great scrapping weather, the first few days of 2011 have been filled with excitement!

CHA is right around the corner and I have been dreaming about all of my online shopping carts! LOL!  I really can't wait to start working with all of the new lines and "toys" coming out! 2011 is going to bring more blog challenges too...so be on the lookout for those!

Our calendar has great classes and crops that you just won't want to miss out on!  Remember to sign up early because space is limited (even though we would love to have EVERYONE!).  We are gearing up for recipe swaps, card swaps, teen crops & MORE!  Keep your eye on the calendar & I'll try to keep you informed here and our facebook page.

I was able to get a little scrapping of my own done over the holidays (can you believe it???).  I thought I would share my niece's page...A Star is Born!  It was created using products from Webster's Pages, Pink Paislee, Prima, K&Co.  We all have "old" scrapbook items in our scrap spaces.  Just because they are VINTAGE :-) doesn't mean they aren't still great! Try mixing some of your "old" items with some of the new lines and items that are out!  I've become so used to cutting my own letters with my cricut, that a lot of my "vintage" chipboard is feeling unloved.  My friend, Dedra, made me remember that my "vintage" chipboard needs love, too! :-)  Besides...I bought it for a reason...right? LOL!  Yes, I'm a "collector", too!  Anyway, here she is...

Out with the old and in with the NEW...New Classes & Supplies that is!

I still can't believe that another year has somehow slipped right by me once again.  It's been another amazing year with all of you right there by my side.  So much has happened in the last twelve months...one of which my hubby returned from Afghanistan.  I'm truly thankful to have him home again and continue to keep all of our other soldiers, sailors & airmen and women in constant prayer. Thank you all for such an amazing year.

The 31st is coming fast...Do you know what that means? Well let me tell ya...we can get past inventory & the extra taxes and get to MORE ORDERING! You know...the FUN stuff!!! LOL! My baskets are already full and CHA isn't even here yet!

We have updated our calendar and have some great classes to offer you in January! Check out the calendar by clicking the link to your right! Call me or stop in to sign up! Here's a sneak peak at a few...

We ate till our bellies were full, laughed, cropped and sometimes cried tears of joy! What a perfect way to enjoy the last crop of the year.  I absolutely love putting on these events and being able to enjoy spending the time with such a wonderful group of ladies.  We packed in 28 ladies and I have been approached on more than one occasion to expand.  I don't know what 2011 holds, but I know it's all in God's hands...and he's never steered me wrong! :-)  I promise I'm not going to start getting all mushy (cause I'm already tearing up while I'm typing! LOL!), but I just want to say Thank YOU!

Thank you all for supporting my fairytale, thank you for being a wonderful extension of my family, thank you, thank you, thank you.  I pray blessings and the warmest wishes for each and every one of you this holiday season.  BRING ON 2011!

I really do love you all!

We have been having a blast with classes!  Our holiday classes were supposed to start the gift giving season, but after the advent calendar class... all I heard were scrooges!  Noone wanted to give theirs away! LOL! I guess they will all need to make another! ;-) I have two kits left if you would like to make this beautiful calendar to count down the days till Christmas.  Each miniture box will hold sweet treats, a small treasure or maybe even a new diamond ring! (hint hint ;-) ) Remember to stop in this week for supplies, all the NEW merchandise STILL coming in, A class, and or our BIG EARLY BLACK FRIDAY EVENT this Friday!!!
The shop will be closed November 20 - November 29 so that we can spend some quality family time together.  So we hope to see you all this week, but if we don't... Have a blessed, safe & enjoyable Thanksgiving. :-)
