IS THIS YOU????

I don't know about you,

but this totally explains my problem!!!!

LOL!!!!!

FRIDAY FUN

 

This is one of the reasons we had the benefit crop on October 3rd.

Look at that sweet face!

 Here is little Thomas doing his walk at the Juvenile diabetes walk.

He is the grandson of one of Cat's and Sharon's

dear friends, and he has Juvenile Diabetes.

  His team raised over $10K and we helped a bit ladies. 

This little guy, Maddie and so many more like them,

 hopefully will benefit from research with this disease.

 

And now, on a lighter note:

 

 Cat claims to know who to call....LOL!

 We wouldn't know anyone who does this,

would we???

 

Since we buy so much paper 

and so many art supplies, 

we have this dilemma:

 Have a great weekend and

come visit the store to

buy 

MORE 

SUPPLIES!!!

 

 

BEAUTIFUL FALL LEAVES

 

Through the years, Reminisce has offered us

some GORGEOUS autumn collections.

TUESDAY TEMPTATIONS WITH SNEAK PEEKS FROM SIMPLE STORIES

Cat is at the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) show and the manufacturers are sharing sneak peeks of their new product.  So, I thought I would share some of these sneak peeks with you. Just a reminder:

I am sharing sneak peeks of what the

 manufacturers are offering, but this 

does not mean they are all going to be ordered for the store.  

The store is not big enough to hold EVERYTHING that

is offered, so Cat does her best to order what the majority

of her customers want.  
The items that Cat orders will be scheduled out and will
arrive over the next several months

If it's show time, you know it is also time for a sale to make room for all the goodies Cat is ordering and scheduling out to arrive over the next 6 months.  We are having a Sliding Scale Sale where the more you spend, the more you save.  Here is how it works: Spend $25 and get a 10% discount.  Spend $45 and get a 15% discount. Spend $55 and get a 20% discount. Spend $75 and get a 25% discount.  Spend $100 or more and get a 30% discount.  Sale dates: July 18-July 24. It's a great time to stock up for any retreats you are heading to this summer. The sale is store wide too!!!

Grab a cup of coffee and settle in for some wonderful products that Simple Stories is releasing!

So, you went to Disney and took a TON of photos.  Now you are overwhelmed and haven't gotten them scrapbooked yet.  Simple Stories is here to help!   Their new release has lots of Disney goodness to help with all of those photos.

MARVELOUS MONDAY

Cat and Ray were rather surprised by the sale that Valerie and I had at the store Saturday.  Do you think they look mad?????   I'm kind of worried...it really seemed like a good idea at the time!

Then Cat put her "teacher" face on and said she just hoped everyone spent lots of money to pay for all of the new goodies she ordered at the show!  Whew, since they did spend lots, she isn't mad after all!

Cat claims that she is taking classes non-stop, but it looks to me like she is playing.....

Even Tim Holtz looks like he is goofing around!

And then, Ann and Cat got caught napping.

 

Hmmm......looks to me like the mice weren't the only ones playing!

 

I don't know about you, but I am anxious to see what all Cat and Ann learned while they were in Boston.  It was a lot of fun last year to see all of the cool classes they came back with.  I'm sure this year will be no different.
