Where has the time gone?

Hi there!! Wow - it's been a while. Since I've blogged last - there has been a wonderful Scrap Etc Event - Wishful Thinking, there's been lots of things happening - holidays, spring break, school's out - and then the store closed. Well, that doesn't mean we're not still out here creating and doing fun things!!

I thought I'd update the blog here and just start sharing fun Creative Cafe ideas with you. I know we can't all get the Creative Cafe supplies locally anymore, but the good news is we can still make their projects with other things we have on hand. I for one, have tons of product just sitting in my room waiting to be used. So, I'll pick a few Creative Cafe Recipes each month and try to make it with what I have on hand, and I'll share it with you here!!

So stay tuned - I'll start posting things in June!

Come back to see me!

December Happy Hours are SO fun!!

You know, Christmas is only 29 days, 5 hours and 34 minutes away. So I know some of you out there have not finished your shopping. I know some of you have so many decorations you are tired of looking at. I know there has to be some kids out there that really really want Santa to stop and see them at their house. So guess what? We can help you with all of those things!!

First - we'll have some cute decorations you can make. How about a cute "Santa Stop Here" sign for your kiddo's bedroom door? Yep, we'll have one for you to make. How about a cute little paper tree decorated with buttons and trims? Yep, we'll have that, too.

Second - gift card holders galore. Okay not galore, but at least two different really cute gift card holders.

Third - how about a cute mini album about decorating the tree? or the house? We'll have a cute cute "Trim the Tree" mini album - a few little embellishments will have you on your way - you'll just need the pictures. Oh, and the tree and decorations, but you can handle that.

Fourth - want some cute ornaments for teacher gifts, or to attach to presents? We've got you covered there, too. Are you surprised? You shouldn't be!! We're trying to make the holiday's a little easier and stress free just for you!!

You will not want to miss one single Happy Hour!! But, no worries. If you do, you can run by the store anytime afterwards - and as long as there are some left, and pick it up to go. Or you can call the store the morning of the Happy Hour and they'll charge you and hold on to it for you!! It can't get any easier than that.

And just for fun - guess what I'm going to do? GO AHEAD AND GUESS??? Okay, so you can't guess - I'll just tell you. Every Happy Hour your purchase every single time in December - you can put your name in to win a prize!! I'm going to work on gathering some fun stuff up for you and you'll get a chance every single time you buy a Happy Hour.

Okay, that's about all I've got to share for now! I'll be back with pictures of our projects really soon!!

Monday's Happy Hour

Come join us at 11 and you can put together these two cute layouts. One for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. Quantities are limited, so try to make it by!! $4.00 a layout and we start at 11:00!

Hope we see you there!! These two layouts will wrap up our November month of layouts. We don't have a Happy Hour scheduled for this next Saturday since it's a big football day but I'll be back soon to post the schedule for December and show you a few peaks at the fun things we have planned. Here are a few things we're thinking about: gift card holders, tags for presents, signs welcoming Santa, and some fun things with felt, too!! You don't want to miss out of these fun items that will make your Christmas gift giving even easier. I mean why buy a crazy gift card holder that costs 3 or 4 dollars and looks just like everyone else's if you could make one by hand. And what about cute teacher gifts? And fun things to just have on hand for those people we sometimes forget to get a gift for? You won't be disappointed!! Come See Us!!
