Can you believe the end of summer is drawing near?!?!?! Where have the "lazy days" gone? We don't know about you, but for us this summer has been anything but lazy. We think "crazy days" of summer is more accurate! On a sad note, Merrily's father passed away on July 20th at the age of 82, but on a happy note, Debbie became a grandmamma on July 23rd. Welcome precious little Jaydyn!! Ahhh...the circle of life.
For those of you who check our website regularly, you may have noticed that we had a bit of a lull on our home page this past month. This is due to the "craziness" referred to, not for lack of new product. The new inventory never fails to keep coming through our doors, no matter the "craziness" in our personal lives. That is one thing you as the customer can rely on.
In the past few weeks we've brought in new lines from Flair, EK Success, Chatterbox, Prima, Daisy D's, and Making Memories. This week we've introduced another vendor to our store—Carolee's Creations and their wonderful Adornit product. Like Flair, American Traditional Designs, and Karen Foster, Carolee's Creations has several themed lines. With Adornit we have expanded our paper, ribbon and other embellishments for camping, outdoors, travel, cowboy, family, patriotic, beach, dance, dirt biking, boy, military, and we have added swim team and foam alphabet stickers in a variety of colors. Also, for an unbelievable price get a gorgeous "Family" themed pre-made album that is ready for photos! Makes a wonderful gift for the non-scrapbooker.
We have more new product arriving this week from Bazzill, Quickutz, EK Success, and American Traditional Designs. In order to make room for all of this, in addition to all the new fall product that will be available in the coming weeks, we are holding a storewide two day summer clearance sale to clear out our racks. This two day sale will be Tuesday, Sept. 4th and Wednesday, Sept. 5th, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EVERYTHING will be discounted, with savings up to 40% off!! So mark your calendars now!
