Hi Friends,  

I have a lot to tell you and will try to be brief.

MONTHLY DRAWING is this Saturday (27th), at NOON.  Be here for a chance to win the $100.00 shopping spree.  Good Luck, and remember to enter every time you come in to the shop!   WINNERS from last months drawing were ANDY HOWE (and his NEW fiancé Cindy!) and EVELYN JOHNSMAN.  Congratulations to them both. 

We are also having two STAMPSCAPES classes this Saturday, and both are filled right now.  If you want to learn the STAMPSCAPES techniques, be sure to sign up for our beginner class on Saturday, July 18.   Visit www.stampscapes.com to see the STAMPSCAPES website and be sure to look for our very own teachers samples.  Look in their sample gallery for her name, LINDA STANDART and see some of her work on their site and ours. 

HOORAY!!!

TICKETS FOR HEIRLOOM CONVENTION HAVE ARRIVED. $6.00 EACH FOR ADMISSION FOR BOTH DAYS.   More Convention Info

WE HAD SOME STORM DAMAGE!!

I hope that you managed to escape serious damage from some of the terrible storms we have been having in the south recently.  We lost our BILLBOARD on I-85 to one storm last week.   A strong gust blew it “smack down” with our sign landing on the bottom.  We had some powerful winds and hail here, but had no idea it would do that.  Our billboard company is working on getting another one up any day now.  If you are coming up from Atlanta , our new BILLBOARD will be on your RIGHT this time about a mile and a half from our exit. So you will still have time to be reminded and get over and get off and visit us. 

WE WILL BE CLOSED SATURDAY, JULY 4^th.

Have a Safe and Happy 4^th of July!

We are expecting the new JULY Stamps Of The Month to arrive on Wednesday, July 1st.  You can see the new Fairy Tale Themed board and all of the other months selections here. 

Our CARD WORKSHOPS are full of the latest samples of the newest paper and stamps.  We hope you can find time to come and create with Linda in a relaxing and fun atmosphere here at Stamps and More by Eleanor.  Invite a friend and come on over during your summer time at home.  Linda will be adding some variety to the CLASS SCHEDULE soon so be sure to check our CLASS SCHEDULES.  

One of our favorite stamp companies, ART IMPRESSIONS, is having a contest called, WHERE IN THE WORLD IS EVELYN?

They have one of their cute “Golden Oldies" dressed up as a tourist with binoculars and ready to travel.  You simply buy the stamp and make a card with her on it and take a photo of you and EVELYN at your favorite tourist destination or favorite STAMP STORE (hint, hint) and submit it to them and they will post them on their website. Art Impressions posted their first entry on the site and it is from one of our customers.  She just got back from a grand trip to the GRAND CANYON and her name just happened to be EVELYN too!  I couldn’t resist showing her the stamp and since she just won the MAY drawing she had a $50.00 shopping spree coming her way and she bought it and made her card.  She is now featured on their website (along with EVELYN’S favorite SC stamp store) so take a peek www.artimpressions.com   Look for the link on the left that says WHERE IS EVELYN .  You just might be the next one to take EVELYN somewhere special.

While you are on their site if you see any stamps you want, mounted or un-mounted cling just let us know, we will be placing another order soon.  

*Reminder:  The 3rd Thursday of every month is our regularly scheduled ART IMPRESSIONS watercolor free PLAY DAY.  

We are still taking pre orders for the new CUTTLEBUG folders that will begin shipping in August. 

Thanks again,
