Sorry sorry sorry.....I know it has been so long since I have written.  So much has happened!  A brief summary:

Carole and I lost our lease and were basically kicked out of the old house (store)

Carole is on a new adventure and I have re-located and am on my own  (at a new store)

The old store is now a marijuana store and giving the landlord more money for rent!

The old store got shut down by the feds for distributing marijuana!

Hunter (my youngest son)  and I just returned last week from Anaheim California where he competed in his Irish dance and is now going on to Nationals next Summer in Chicago (in July) (yuck) He is super excited about this!

We just returned from our family yearly trip to Pacific Beach for Thanksgiving !  I do the bazaar at Ocean Shores and the family plays Risk, watches movies and plays on the beach!  It is always a great time!

At this moment, doing laundry from the beach, and emptying out the coolers from the beach trip.

And that should bring you all up to date.  I will try to be better!

NEW BEGINNINGS!!!!

I just read the last entry to my blog, It was kind of sad...but hopeful.  And here I am 2 weeks later on my second week in business, so excited about the "new store"  My husband and 2 boys have been so instrumental in the opening of this new adventure, I could not have done it without them and am so grateful for all their love and support! 

I just had the GRAND OPENING this last weekend !  I would have to say it was GRAND alright!  It was so busy at one point on Saturday I thought...I wonder how many people CAN be in here at one time?  I had a couple of GREAT demos and make and takes too!  Thank you thank you thank you to Cheri, Tangie, Sherry and Becky for all their dedication and the giving of their time so we could had a great opening!!!!!

Now onto NEW things going on!  The FALL SUPER CROP date has been set and the ladies are signing up so do not delay!  Here are the details:

Closing Doors!

I have heard it said...that where one door closes, another opens!

This is what has happened recently at Sharin Memories.  Two weeks ago, I was a sad, hurt crazy lady who had just been told that our lease had expired and that they would NOT be renewing it!  We had 16 days to vacate the premises, liquidate all of the product in our store, and split the assets. say goodbye to all my friends, look for a NEW place (hmmm, maybe)...What a day that was.

Well lots of worrying and tears and sadness was going on in my heart.  Thanks to all of  you, my friends and loyal customers, I have decided to re-open!  And I have found a wonderful place.  It is a bit smaller, but we will make do.  I love it!  I have been working hard and fast for a week and and  hoping to re-open on September 1st. 

I have some beautiful paper lines in already.  Take a look!  Let me know what you think, and what you would like me to get into the store!

I cannot express how lucky and blessed I am to have such GREAT customers that I call my friends...thank you so much for all your help and love and support!

WELL JUST LIKE THE WEATHER AROUND HERE...

Things are always subject to change.   There I was Last Friday at work.....working HARD as usual (bwwaa ha ha) looking at NEW product from one of my favorite reps...and the landlord walks in and waves a paper in my face and tells me our lease is up and we have to be OUT in 16 days.......

Whaaaat?????  I know right?  I am still reeling a little bit about it.  I was really crabby and quite hateful and so so sad...crying most of the weekend.  I thought... had WE done something wrong?!?  DID the landlords hated us?!?  What in the name of all that is good and right is going on here?!?

Well as it turns out...it was nothing personal.....Well IT IS PERSONAL to me!!!  To kick me out of this store that I love!  You are damn right is is personal!  To take away my CHOICE!!!  Now what???  What am I going to do, how will I make this work?  Well after many herbal supplements....and lots of hugs and calming words from my Fabulous husband and my wonderful children...and all my amazing friends....I will tell you what I am going to do...

I am going to keep on keeping on!!!!  That is it, I got a commercial real estate lady from my friend Kim (thank you Kimmy)  we looked at a  bunch of places....I have had talks with my friends parental units ( thank you Kirstin) My fabulous friends have been praying for me (thank you Sherry and Becky) I have decided to remain WIDE OPEN to receive all ideas!

Ask Believe and Receive!  

Good things are coming my way!

I will keep you posted!

Thank you to all my friends, I love you all!

Jodie

Happy August!!!

Also Hunter...my Irish dancing boy, had a Feis (which is a competition) on Sunday up in Seattle, where I am proud to say that he did very very well!  Out of 3 dances he got a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd place!

Last Thursday I went to Portland to participate in the "Scrap Fest"  which is an event for buyers, they show off lots of new product for Fall and Winter, (beautiful stuff) we did make and takes with some of the new product, and... they put on a fabulous spread for lunch...an Italian buffet!  Amazing!

Most of the new product came in yesterday while I was in the middle of the "Kids Camp", and is already priced and out on the floor.  We have some really cool sort of chip board tri-fold shutters, in 2 shapes, and some really cool stars as well in 2 sizes, only some of the stickers and stamps came in.

Summer Beauty!

Hello ladies....this is what I found roaming around my beautiful flower baskets yesterday....It made me wander where all the orange and black monarchs are?  I do not know.  But it occurs to me that I have not seen one in a very long time!

Today as I write this, I am thinking of a great project for next weeks "Kids Camp" ...had the first one this morning and I tell you what...these kids are so great, we all made the same thing and they all came out completely different.  I love the kids!  Their creativity comes out and shines through so cool!

Carole and I are tying desperately NOT to order anything till after they show us all the GREAT NEW goodies that are being released at Summer CHA, now if there is something that you see, and love and have to have...please let us know...we will try to get it for you.

The HUGE Used Product Sale is going on ALL week...so get on in to the store and check it out!

Have a great Day!

Happy Father's Day!

Yes it is the middle of June already!  My kids have been out of school for 2 days now, and are pacing around the house already.  We went up to nephew's graduation party yesterday and spent the day with family...we always LOVE that!  My sister in law...Billie is the BEST cook!  omg!  she made really simple chicken on a stick, in some kind of marinade, it was SO SO GOOD!!!  I wish this screen had smellavision, it was so Fabulous!

My flowers are all doing so well, and NOT getting fried in the heat we usually have by this time of year...here are some photos I have taken this week of my baskets and pots around the front area of the house!  ENJOY!

Memorial Day 2011

 We are home from a most wonderful visit to the cematary in Tumwater, Washington!  It is so beautiful with all the giant flags out.

  All of the Veterans burried here have another smallish flag by their headstones.  Mike and I brought the boys today and walked around and found service members from all walks of life and from all different places.  We saw markers the dated as far back as the Spanish American War...all the way upto and including a fallen soilder from our hometown of Rainer that went to my kids High School.  We paid tribute to all and it was a beautiful day.  The boys really liked it too.  Enjoy your day everyone and come and see me this week at the store!

Happy Memorial Day Weedkend! Remember A Vet this weekend!

Hello ladies...well it is the end to another week...boy, Now that I am "50"....the days just fly by!  Actually they have been flying for quite sometime now! 

The Used Product Sale is going on today and tomorrow.  We will be closed on Sunday in Observance of Memorial Day.

 I will be helping out along with my husband and 2 boys at the very small service the American Legion out in Rainer does at our local cemetery....I think it is important to teach our children that this is just not a "day off of school"  There is a reason behind it!

Let's see So this month we have gotten in a lot of new papers...here it is in review:
Echo Park, Summer Days and Splash (these both are such cute lines for Summer)

Please take a moment to REMEMBER all that was given for our Freedom and all of our Liberties!

ART JOURNALING.....

Art Journaling, Visual Journaling and Altered Book Workshops

with Nikki Pitcher

Free yourself from the 12x12 square. Embrace your child-like instinct to tear books apart and write on pages not meant to be written in. Give your photos and memorabilia a fun place to stay. In my new workshops we will be altering books, making journals and creating alternatives to traditional scrapbooks. We will tear apart old books and fill them with pictures, images, paintings, drawings, embellishments and more. We will create unique journals to take with you on your vacation or to record everyday life and moments. These workshops will be held once a month along with a monthly Altered book club. Please call the store for more information.

-Art Journaling: Art journaling is the creative process of pulling together color, words and images as you wish on a page. The process uses paint and drawing techniques along with images and words to tell your story.

-Visual Journaling: Visual journaling is a creative way to express and record life's experiences, feelings, emotional reactions, or our inner world - visually and verbally. The process uses images on paper in an abstract way to tell your story.

-Altered Book: a form of mixed media artwork that changes a book from its original form into a different form, altering its appearance and/or meaning. This process can alter a book’s pages or tear apart a book and rebind it back together.

Spring Break is Over!!!

Well over for my boys that is!  My daughter called this morning from Bellingham and said they had 2" of snow on the ground and that it was STILL snowing!  Such weird weather we are having.  That being said...they trees are blooming everywhere, and are so so pretty, the daffodils are blooming everywhere too!  I love SPRING!  Yes even the rain,. 

I am getting ready to go to the BEACH for a 3 day scrapbook weekend with my friends...OMG I am so excited to get away!  I hope to get some pages done too!  We have lots of great new stuff at the store (Sharin Memories), we got quite a few new PRIMA flowers and bling, MAYA ROAD darling albums and tiny rose ribbon, new tubes from SRM and some Mother stickers, Lots of good stuff!

April Showers...for sure!

Wow!!!  What a CRAZY day of weather today, beautiful sunshine in Rainier....then my husband says it is snowing like crazy!  Sun in Olympia...or oh no, rain, or is that hail?  snow? sunshine?

Well they DO say April showers bring May flowers, so I am guessing that we are going to get so many flowers in May...I'm just saying....

I don't mind the weird weather, it's just that I DO mind stupid people, and the way they drive in the weird weather, and that is all I am going to say about that!

The CHIEFTAINS were here!!!

Have any of you heard about the CHIEFTAINS???  They are the musical group that has brought traditional and some not so traditional Irish music into the hearts and homes all around the world.  They have been making and playing music together for 50 years next year!  Any ways, they performed up in Seattle at the Benny Royal Hall and here in Olympia at the Washington Center for performing ARTS on Wednesday evening.  What a great show...oh my goodness, and they had 2 guys from CANADA...their feet moved faster then anything I have ever seen, they were so good Dancing!

Hunter and  4 girls from the Comerford School of Irish Dance (from right here in Olympia) and the Olympia pipers also got to perform on stage with the Chieftains ...What an amazing experience!

We could not film or take any photos of the performance...but here are a few shots from back stage!

I LOVE ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL SNOW!!!!!!

Wow!  I just had 3 paragraphs and now they are gone...and THAT ladies is why you look at your fingers while we are typing!

So sorry to have closed the store on Thursday!  It was so snowy and blustery out in Rainier...I did not want to risk driving to town in my little car!

We will extend the USED PRODUCT SALE all week long.

We have 12 passports left to sell for the NORTHWEST PAPERCHASE....I know you don't want to be left out, once they are gone, I cannot get any more.

It starts in 2 weeks...I am so so excited.

Here are a few photos of my house and our street!

Have a great day and be safe!

SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!!

I love the snow...it makes everything clean and bright!  Driving is another matter, now don't get me wrong, I grew up in IOWA and I trained for driving in the WINTERTIME in the cemetery!  It is all the other knuckleheads out there driving that make it hazardous. 

Had a delivery, yesterday, did you hear?  Yes, we got in some RIBBON BAGS and some flowers and a couple of printer trays, and a few other things.....

See you soon!  Enjoy all the Beauty!

Hi Ladies...I cannot believe it is Friday already!  Just a few things to tell you about.  The Pre-sales are in full swing for the SHOP HOP in March,  we have 15 left, and they are going quick, once they are gone....we will not be getting any more in.  There are 18 stores involved in the chase this year.  Unfortunately many have had to close in this last year.  But on a brighter note, it will be easier to get to all of them this year with 10 less stores.  I think most of you know, but I will say it again just in case...each store has picked a movie theme.  Ours is "The Phantom of the Opera"  We are busy making the make and takes now!  there is going to be a grand prize and a couple of other prizes if you get to all of the stores.  This year there is a bracelet and charms at each store.  That is fun.  Can't wait to see all of you for the "shop hop".

Also the Used Product Sale is next weekend.  So gather your unwanted items and price them and get them into the store by next week.  In-store credit is always a good thing!

Jen is doing a "getting to know your Cricut" class this Saturday...call the store if you are coming.

Carole is doing a dinner crop on the 26th of Feb. from 2 to 10 pm...call the store to sign up.

Enjoy your weekend!
Peace

Good Wednesday to you!

It is sunny for the moment, I will take that...I love the sunshine.  I heard that we may get some snow mixed with rain tonight....I do miss not having any snow yet this year, yes I know, most of you don't like the snow, but I do and I know my kids do too!

We received a huge shipment of proglider refills yesterday, doubles and triples.  AND...we got a new kind to try out.  It is called EXTREME TAC, you can use it on fabric, and metal and glass, and plastic, grunge board and chipboard...all kinds of things.

I am currently waiting for some NEW product to arrive, Prima, and Bo bunny is what will be coming next.  I have to speak with Carole, but I think we will also order the new garden line from ...oh I cannot think of it now.  What is it?  i don't know!

Carole is doing a "catch up crop"  on the 26th of Feb. from 2 to 10 pm here at the store for $10.00
