January 2009

Hello Friends,  

This year is really flying by folks!  It’s already time to remind you about our end of the month drawing this Saturday, Jan. 31^st.  Last month’s winner was present for our drawing and so Congratulations to Elaine Holland, who won the entire $100.00 shopping spree in December.    Maybe it will be your turn to win this month, so be sure to enter every time you come in the store and if it is at all possible, plan to be here at NOON on the last Saturday of every month and you will increase your chances of winning at least the $50.00 shopping spree if not the entire $100.00!  Good Luck to one and ALL!  

We had a record turnout for our CARD WORKSHOP on Saturday, January 24th, and we thank all of you who showed up for a jam packed day of card making fun.  I want to thank Linda and Mary  for magically giving us six more seats for the workshop.  The extra seating turned out so well, we have already had requests to reserve those added seats for future workshops.  Lots of Valentine cards are in the selection baskets now and LOVE is definitely in the air.  We feel the love you have for us and appreciate all your comments, encouraging prayers and support during these tough economic times.  Come and join us for ANY of our weekly CARD WORKSHOPS and get some beautiful Valentines made for all of your loved ones.  We are filling up fast for this Saturday’s all day CARD WORKSHOP so please call ASAP if you want to be here for the drawing and for the class!   864-295-2929  

The new GREAT IMPRESSIONS stamp of the month program for February just arrived and if you have any BOYS in your family you will love this ALL BOY theme.  Dinosaurs, pirates, trucks and trains and a great all-purpose.   “ ALL BOY WORDS (J91)” background stamp is the featured STAMP OF THE MONTH. 

 Talk of all the new products being introduced at the recent CHA show gets folks excited around here.  But please be patient, the new products are not always ready for shipment immediately.  In fact, most new products will not be available until late February or March.  

 For instance the new SPELLBINDER dies will not even begin to ship until March.   We are taking requests now and have already placed some orders to get them “in line” with the orders from around the country, so give us your wish lists and we will call you when they arrive.   If you want to see some of the designer creations using the new dies then take a peek at one of my favorite blogs,  www.amazingpapergrace.com .   I am one of her many admirers because she ( Becca) has a real gift when it comes to creating with paper and I guarantee that you WILL be inspired to use your CUTTLEBUG with these new SPELLBINDER die cuts.  So take a peek and let us know which ones you want.  Be sure to look at previous days entries for a look as some “amazing jaw dropping good cards!”  

STAMPER’S ANONYMOUS  and TIM HOLTZ fans.

We will be making an order soon for the 12 new un-mounted stamp sets from Tim Holtz. So be sure to contact us ASAP.  864-295-2929      NOTE: Most of his sets have had a price increase!

The new HERO ARTS stamps are have begun to arrive and we are expecting another order any day now.  Again, due to the current state of the economy we are only ordering by request and have enough to send in another order, but we will gather more orders through the weekend and we will probably send it in the first of next week.   

VALENTINE SPECIAL for ALL of you, from my “sweetie”,  Rabon.   

All of our BEST FURNITURE STORAGE SYSTEMS will be 10% off now through February.  Talk to your sweetie real nice and maybe just maybe you will get some of this great storage furniture instead of fattening chocolates.  We will also match any specials that may be featured on their website: BEST FURNITURE website  anytime.  We have a few pieces in stock right now for immediate delivery, but we will most likely have to order it as you need it. 

   I know I am probably forgetting something but I wanted to get this out while I had a chance.  Be sure to check out our Class Schedule and our Coupons.  

Thanks again,
