Hi Friends,

Finally, the MINI SCOR ITS have arrived.  Hooray!!  It was a long wait but it was worth it.  It has proven to be a handy tool in the card workshops.  In fact, one of the ladies who picked up her MINI SCOR IT yesterday, jumped up and down when she got it.   

The first orders we placed have started to arrive.  We have received three shipments so far and are expecting even more tomorrow, (Friday). If you were on the waiting list, you should have received a call, if not, don’t hesitate to call or come in.  Angie has a pretty good list, but it was a little confusing to keep up with who’s been called, who’s already picked theirs up and who still wants one or more for gifts.  We have a Scor-it reserved for everyone who was on the original list and some extras now available to show and sell.

Wanted to remind you about the classes coming up this Saturday, November 17.  The beginner class in the morning is STAMPING FUN-damentals.  There is still room for two more, cost is only $10.00.  We will also have our regular monthly SATURDAY CARD WORK-SHOP in the afternoon.  This is the same format that the regular Tuesday and Wednesday CARD WORK-SHOPS and we have some new cards to add to the selection of cards you can make.  Hope you can join us for these classes.  Call ASAP for a reservation.   864-295-2929  Look at our website for more info on these classes.  www.stampsandmorebyeleanor.com

PLEASE remember that we will be CLOSED on THANKSGIVING DAY and are regularly closed on Sundays and Mondays throughout the year.  You can always check out our HOLIDAY HOURS on our website.   Since the holiday season gets a little hectic and harried for everyone we are not having any more Tuesday NIGHT classes until after the first of the year (i.e. We will be closing at 5:30 Tuesday – Friday until January 1, 2008.  We will resume late hours til 8:30pm on Tuesday’s on January 8, 2008).  We will still have the Tuesday afternoon (1:00 - 4:00) and Wednesday morning (10:00 – 12:00) and afternoon (1:00 – 3:00) CARD WORKSHOPS if you need some creative card therapy during this hectic time.  

Be sure to check out our website for all the latest up to date information about classes and hours.  www.stampsandmorebyeleanor.com

During this Thanksgiving season I just want to say, that we are so thankful for all of you and what you mean to our business. WE would not be here without our great customers and that means, YOU!  God Bless You ALL!

We are especially grateful for Angie who keeps us all organized here and keeps the website up to date, and a special thanks to our very talented, wonderful and loyal staff and outside teachers.  They often go the extra mile to help you and we hear comments from you about that all the time.  We really want to recognize, our special HELPER, Mary, who has moved here from Rock Hill, SC and hangs out all day long and stays and plays and does whatever needs doing.  Thank you, Mary.

Rabon and I will be having ALL of our children and grandchildren over for a Thanksgiving meal and we are so grateful to have found each other and true love in our later years.  Most of you don’t know that we actually bought a new home together right before the September convention and moved during the four hottest days of the century.  Whew, I, for one am grateful that we survived that ordeal alone, not only survived but downsized in style and comfort.  The real blessing came when we put our old house on the market on a Monday and sold it on a Tuesday and closed two weeks and one day later.  So, in this real estate market, that truly was a miracle and we are both grateful for that as well.  We have each other, our health, our friends and our salvation assured. What more could we want.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Please drive carefully and take a moment to count all of YOUR blessings this Thanksgiving season!

JUST ARRIVED

BIND IT ALLS…we got two more orders and we have it all now except for their wonderful BIND IT ALL IDEA BOOK.  Due to popular demand they are on backorder and we are taking names.  The book is $14.95, in color and loaded with lots of ideas.  Our BIND IT ALL specialist, Linda, says the book is worth the cost for the “CHEAT SHEET CHART” in it that helps you figure out the sizes and number of holes to use on different size books.  Come in early for the best selection of BIND IT ALL machines, the ZUTTER CUTTER, coils, with more sizes, more colors and we have plenty of the tool kits and carrying bags.  Great gift ideas, so be sure to tell Santa!

BASIC GREY FIGGY PUDDING papers are here.  Linda is planning on using some of these in the SATURDAY CARD WORKSHOP.

PROVO CRAFT CUTTLEBUG.   We got in some new die cut designs that we have never had before and Angie has a NEW color catalog showing all of the new products that will be arriving in Late January.  You can take a sneak peek and let us know what you want and we will call you when it comes in.

 JACQUARD has a brand new compact Pearl-Ex watercolor set that is awesome and we love it.  Apparently the customers do too!  It is perfect size for your class kits, compact and handy to use. 

MAGENTA  has a new idea book,  PAPER MAGIC – MAGENTA STYLE.  It has ideas and techniques for creating stunning albums, cards, gift wrap, home décor and more. $24.95  It also shows lots of ways to use their line of metallic stickers.

 Tim Holtz introduced a brand new ruler.  It is part of his new Idea-ology line of long overdue and “why didn’t I think of that” products and tools that is hitting the serious crafters market .  The description on the package says it is  “a clear measuring stick with a straight edge and grid for drawing lines and measuring lengths, a metal strip for cutting, and evenly spaced holes for piercing.”  We have them now and you will want to be sure you take a look at it next time you are in.  Speaking of TIM HOLTZ, we are expecting the new line of CRACKLE PAINTS tomorrow and we are anxiously awaiting our first order of GRUNGEBOARD.  Due any day now.  In anticipation of this new product, I want you to see his new demo video on YOU TUBE.  Take a look.

 (I hope this links works if not try and do a search on google.)

Grungeboard (grünj-bôrd) a compressed, flexible sheet of dingy material that can be painted, inked, sanded, hammered or grunged.  

We have most of the GRUNGEBOARD products ordered already because of strong initial interest from everyone here who saw the video and will be stocking and ordering more as we hear from you and see how you like it.

 NEW HERO ARTS

Every year around this time we get to PRE BUY the newest HERO ARTS stamps for early delivery.  WE and YOU get to see them first.  Only a handful of stores throughout the USA get to do this.  Thanks for helping us to be a PREMIER HERO ARTS RETAILER.  This year will even be more special.  The new 2008 DEBUT catalog and all of their new stamps will be here by DEC 14th.  Just in time for our big furniture drawing at NOON on Saturday, Dec 15th.  We will be giving away over $700.00 worth of BEST FURNITURE storage cases for your stamp and scrapbook studios.  Be sure to come in and see the units and buy a raffle ticket or two or three.  Tickets are $1.00 each or six for $5.00.

An extra incentive for you… If you are planning to buy any of this storage furniture, purchase at least one raffle tickets for the drawing, and you will also be entitled to a 10% discount off the entire cost of the furniture from now until December 15.  Discount does not apply to the shipping costs.  Offer expires @4:00pm on December 15th.

 Part of the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to HOSPICE.  And by all means we hope you can plan to be here for the drawing at NOON and see the debut of the 2008 HERO ARTS STAMPS.

 WE are pretty well stocked on BAZZILL cardstock now.  We got in a huge order last week and except for the colors they were out of, we have it waiting for you to design your holiday cards.

 REMEMBER WE OFFER Gift Certificates.  Tell your loved ones to call or write us and we will take care of the rest.
