Just a few notes.
The Recipe classes on the 15th have been cancelled, due to my mom being laid up with her back. We plan on being able to start it back up in March.

We have been telling you that we are in the process of changing our VIC program. We had decided to do away with the VIC program entirely & go to a punch card system. However, we have decided to let those who are already members & have been for quite some time, to be grandfathered into the program. We will be taking no new members, but those that are currently members will be allowed to renew their membership. Everyone else will be eligible for the punch card. You CANNOT use both.

We have gotten in more stuff this week. All the new Revolution dies are in along with the new magnetic wand, universal scraper & universal hook. The other new products should be here shortly, except for the the 12" platforms, those aren't shipping out for a few weeks yet.
We also recieved a shipment from Die Cuts with a View with their new glitter stacks including pet, baby & solid glitter sheets. These are a great deal at $19.99.

Back from CHA

Well everyone, we made it back from CHA and what a whirl wind trip that was. We did have some problems though. Right after we got there, my mom took a fall & was in a great deal of pain the entire trip. She is still in pain & probably will be for a while, so say a prayer for her.
As for all the cool new stuff, we saw so much and ordered a ton. We can't wait til it all starts coming in. Our 1st shipment from CHA purchases arrived on Thursday. We got in a shipment from Scrappin Sports with new papers, stickers & loads of rub ons. We are still placing orders and getting ready to make some big changes at the store so that we can make room for all the new stuff.
We didn't get to update the blog everyday, as I didn't take a laptop with me, so I had to rely on someone else to post. But we ordered so many great new products. Lots of great new lines from Heidi Grace, Cloud 9, Basic Grey, Piggy Tales, Sandylion, Melissa Francis, Stemma, Technique Tuesday, Tim Holtz, Cropper Hopper, All My Memories, Flair Designs, Quickutz, Die Cuts with a View, Prima, Stampin Station - including new custom items - Tapestry, Creative Imaginations, Colorbok, Lil Davis Designs, and Paper House to name a few, plus all the things posted already. I will update you regularly on the blog as things start arriving.
Hope to see you all soon. Be sure to post any comments or requests you might have as all of our orders haven't been placed yet.
