Oh my Goodness! It's been a long time!

Today is February 13Th already!  Time surely does FLY!! 

Had the Valentines Day Crop yesterday at the store...it went GREAT, I was worried, cause it is so cozy...but  I think 10 at a time is a good number.  I have decided to do a Sunday Crop every month.  I liked it! 

Well let's see...Bunko....check, scrapbook club...check, Valentines Day crop...check, next we have the introduction of our newest club!  It is the "challenge club"  I have already sold 2 kits, and I only made up 6 kits to sell to start with!  Here's the deal....we, (Cassie and I) have pulled paper and coordinating card stock and added lots of fun ribbon and embellishments into a kit, you buy for $20 and you can create anything you want to.  It can be layouts, cards, wall hangings, frames, ANYTHING!  Then we meet in a month and we all share what we have made!  We get new ideas, and get re-inspired...Cassie already has her samples in the store!  And they are beautiful!

We also started the "Project Life my Way" group in January and it was very cool!  We had about 9 ladies I think in the store.  This club is FREE, just come in and bring your stuff, and let's get all your photos into albums, I have filled the store with lots and lots of varieties of page protectors and we just meet after 6 on the 4Th Friday of the month from 6 to 9 or so!  This club is open to anyone, and there is not a sign up...just come!

The next big thing coming up is the Northwest paper Chase....March 2ND thru the 18TH.....check it out!!
