Some updates ...

Hey everyone! 

I hope that you all managed to squeeze in a bit of relaxation this weekend. 

I've had a lot of questions over the past few weeks about the store and what I will be doing in the coming months.  I appreciate all of the support and kind words I've received from all of you.  One of the best parts of having this store is the friendships I've formed with many of my regular customers ... ladies that I would have never had the opportunity to meet and spend time with.

Time wise ... I'm looking to be closed by the end of June. 

Next week, I will be going through the crop area and thinning out my supplies. 

I expect to have several of the Unity Stamp sets available, some of the Spellbinders dies, embossing folders, punches, etc. available for purchase.

As the paper begins to thin out, the paper racks will also be up for grabs.

If you'd like to purchase any of the racks, you're welcome to pay for them now and we'll simply tag them so we know which ones are yours. 

Towards the end of June, they will be available to take home with you.

With regard to sale pricing, I've been colour coding everything in the store ...

yellow = 20% off

green = 25% off

blue = 30% off

red = 40% off

And of course, there is still the 50% off paper bin.

In a few weeks, everything will be further discounted.

I will be continuing with the monthly kits and some supplies on the website. 

Local delivery and/or pick up will be available. 

I have also had several customers offer their homes and places of business to run classes.  Once I've settled everything at home, I will pick up with some classes I had already planned and will post this information on the website.

Another thing that I have been thinking about is running a few all day crops throughout the year.  If you think that this would be something you would be interested in, please let me know so that I'll have a better idea of whether or not to organize them.

With all of the hubbub in the last little bit, I haven't really had the time (or felt creative enough) to dig into the May kits.  Fortunately, Sarah was able to come to my rescue.  I knew that this kit would be right up her alley.  "Jar of Hearts" is definately one kit that I look at and think ... Sarah.

I have the June kits almost ready to go.  Lots of bright colours :) 

May sold out in just a few days.  Just sayin' ;)

Store Hours

Please note that the store hours for May have some changes.

Visit the website for current hours.

I will be closed today (Wednesday, May 8th) and will be open from noon until 4:00 pm tomorrow (Thursday, May 9th).

Store closing

After much consideration, I have decided not to renew my store lease.

This has not been an easy decision, but one that I feel is appropriate for the situation.

Beginning Tuesday, April 30th,

all scrapbooking merchandise will discounted by 20% (excluding May kits).

The crop area will remain available for use until Friday, May 24th.

After the 24th, many of the crop area tools and stamps will be made available for sale.

My intention is to remain open until the end of June, but circumstances may change,

so I would recommend shopping early to avoid disappointment.

If you have an outstanding gift certificate, or know someone who does, please try to use it sooner than later

as I will not be bringing in any new merchandise.

The National Scrapbooking Day Crop is still a go for this coming Saturday.

I still have a few spots available, so if you've been wanting to come for a crop,

this will most likely be your last chance.

With regard to Monthly Kits, I am still deciding whether or not to continue with these.

If I were to have enough interest by current customers,

I would seriously consider continuing them from my home.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the sales, kits, etc.

One more thing ... I still have the NSD promotion running until May 4th.

For every $20 spent (before tax),

receive an entry for a beautiful gift basket valued at over $150.00.

I would greatly appreciate if you could pass this information along to any you feel would be interested.

Have a wonderful weekend :)
