April Update #2 4/25/07

   Hi Friends,

   I wanted to remind you of our monthly DRAWING this coming Saturday, April 28, at NOON.   We will also announce the winner of our first CARD CONTEST right after the drawing.  GOOD LUCK to all!

Also, we are having another CUTTLEBUG workshop this Saturday, call to reserve a seat and come and create using our ideas!  See the class schedule for more details. 

JUST ARRIVED today from Somerset Studio...

Five different publications and some customers are drooling over them as I type.

Exciting NEWS, they introduced a brand new publication called

SOMERSET LIFE it sells for $14.95 - (Somerset Life was intended to be a yearly publication, but in 2008 it will become a quarterly issue.  This first edition was printed in limited supply and probably will not be reprinted once they run out!!)

In fact after seeing it a few minutes ago, I told Angie to order some more copies right away.  It features lots of great, and I quote from their cover  

“Imaginative ideas for inspired living.” 

Some of the titles in the magazine are:

Office Chic...How to meet in style
A New Spool of Thought…how to use old wooden thread spools.
Water Bottle Wraps…how to transform your water bottles into works of art
Origami Bouquets
Dabbling with Sealing Wax
Vintage and Versatile Wooden Hangers
Dreamy Compositions …use black and white composition notebooks to carry your daily notes, as well as your daily dreams, in Somerset style.
An Artisan’s SHABBY CADDY…customized containers for all your crafts
Sheer magic of Cheesecloth….dyed with teas of all colors
Milestone decanters
Pretty Lunches to Go.   Embellished retro lunchbox….brown bag chic!
And a lot more… I don’t know how they will top
Dressed up letters and envelopes.   

We will certainly run out of this magazine shipment fast… what I need to know from you is do you want one so I will know how many to order.  Call ASAP or email us and let us know.  Our toll free number is 877-296-2929  local phone is 295-2929.

Also in the shipment today was the latest issues of

STAMPER’S SAMPLER catch up issue.  More than 500 stamped art samples.

ALTERED COUTOURE.  Featuring 182 dreamy creations of clothing to… wear your art! 

Titles of some of the articles…

Spray Painted Denim
16 Saucy Skirts and Dresses
Drop Dead Gorgeous cami with a touch of lace.
The ultimate guide for art to wear enthusiasts!

Not to be outdone, the EACH new current issue of SOMERSET STUDIO has a FREE DVD from PROVO CRAFT entitled CRICUT PERSONAL CUTTER INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. 

One of the articles is quite interesting… it has the story of Tim Holtz’ rise to fame.  It starts out saying that , ‘Tim Holtz is on the ride of a lifetime, he’s gone from a burned out restaurant manager to the internationally known product designer and senior educator for Ranger Industries.”

ALSO  in today is the new issue of ART DOLL QUARTERLY.

So if you need something new and exciting to read  we certainly have plenty!

Thanks for reading this.
