THE NEW BASIC GREY IS HERE!

WOO HOO!!! The Basic Grey is here. At least most of it. ALL the new papers and die cuts etc from the 4 new lines came. Also the AWESOME chipboard tool sets came. We got to try these at convention and I give my stamp of approval and I bought a set for my scrapbook bag. Stop by and I will show you how wonderful they are.

Monday..back to school sales at the mall

Today I did imprinting at the store and then spent the rest of the day with the kids getting things for back to school. JC Penneys is having 40% off their lowest clearance prices. I got my hubby the premium Docker pants that were $60.00 for only 17.99. I love a good sale! Limited Too and Justice is doing bonus Bucks and Gap had buy one get one half price on jeans. With 4 kids those back to school dollars have to sssttttrrrreeeettttcccccchhhhhhhhh! :) Oh the bummer thing of the day was Williams and Sonoma is gone from Oak View Mall. I loved that store.

Tonight my baby boy who is now 8 had his first football practice. Hubby and I did not agree on him playing as he is so little. Our older son at that age was about a foot taller and huge and now he is \ 6 foot 4 and wears a size 16 shoes so he was built for football. But Zacheus is so little that he could be just a quarterback or running back as he is fast. But you know the first time he gets hurt that hubby is in the dog house.

The team he is playing for is the Packers so all who know me know I must find a Green Bay Packers purse. So if you spot one anywhere let me know. My daughter Liz found a PINK green bay Jersey!

Well going to go work on my web page. I cannot wait to get to work tomorrow and see what new comes!

Sunday...a day off! woo hoo!

Today was a great day! I slept in and hubby worked for me. I got to spend some quality time swimming with the kids. Well at least until my daughter Liz got a better offer and went out with friends to Village Point. My son Paul is out of town trap shooting this weekend so it was just the twins and I all day.

I got a lot done around the house. I was in one of those moods to toss things out. The trash man comes in the morning and you should see my curb! It is FULL! I always feel better after a purge of junk.

Hope you all had a great weekend!!!

KING CROPPER

Today was the Make a Wish crop and I think everyone had fun. We met so many awesome people!!! I love to see what people are working on. I will be happy when our crop room is hopping on a daily basis as I love to see people turning those memories into precious treasures, Liz and I actually got some cropping done also. We tried out some new air dry clay that you can make embellishments out of which is really fun! heck out the samples in the store. I think we will order it and do a class on it.

We also had a "king cropper" spotted in the store tonight. Check out his picture on the right. If you know who it is, let us know at the store and we will give you a 25% discount on any one item. Not good with any other offer. Expires August 15, 2007. Also do not reply to the post stating who it is as the contest will be over at that time. Lets have some fun with it! :)

There was also the truck show at the mall which drew a huge crowd.

The only thing new for today was the Piggy Tales papers. It is the brand new line called Peter, Peter. They are the same papers the birds in the kids play area are made from. I also brought over from Elkhorn more Bazzill paper, some scrappin dreams papers, some blank tags, distressed ink pads and lots of pens.

I think I am going to try to talk hubby into working tomorrow as I put in 17 hours today and tired. I am not as young as I used to be. :)

night all.....

NEW IDEA BOOKS FROM PINE CONE PRESS

If you have not seen Pine Cone Press idea books, you do not know what you are missing. I have used them for years and the company is always up to date with new techniques. I just got in 36 idea books from them so we had a couple of all the ones they carry. They are on the counter so stop by and check them out.

MOXXIE IS HERE

Moxxie papers, rub ons and stickers are here! If you have been hunting for Track, or T-ball you have to see the new papers. We also got in bowling, dance, waterpark, amusement park, cheerleading, school papers and much more.

The most awesome thing about the new school grades line is if you buy two pages of each grade, you have a complete album from preschool to graduation and it all flows so nicely. Stop by the store and ask to see them. If you buy the two sheets of each grade, and mention this posting I will give you 25% off your album. And as always you will still get the half off your imprinting with the purchase of on of our albums. How sweet is that?

The Pink Carts Are In!

Well I just got home and there were boxes stacked taller than me of orders that came in.

All the pink rolling fold up carts from Bo Bunny are in! Over half are already sold and I am down to only 11 left. Remember when these are gone, they are gone as they were a limited edition. For those of you who prepurchased them, they will be at the store tomorrow August 2. We also received the new Bo Bunny flowers. The flex rulers are backordered.

Also the larger scrap cans are in and the COOL new snack tables that attach to your rolling crop bag are in. You have to check these out. See photos at the right.

12" PHOTO'S

Just got in to work and the order of the 12 inch photo's (AKA shotz) came. They are so popular and I am glad they reintroduced them! They are a perfect fot for the Cricut machine. I talked to the company and they are going to do some custom ones for me also! I will add a photo of an example of a 12" photo. They are great for borders and cutting titles and shapes out of. Stop by the store to see some examples.
