What a hot day!

It was so hot out today. Today the store is closed and I imprinted a bunch of albums in the morning. There were three boxes delivered today which I will go through tomorrow.

The rest of the day I spent with the kids. I am trying to get in as much quality time in with the kids as I possibly can before school starts. School should start after Labor Day like it did in the OLD days when I was a kid. Since it was so hot today the kids and I went swimming. Tonight my 8 year old had football practice and it was so hot for the little guys. (I would have cancelled it) hee hee

Stop by or call the store to sign up for classes on September 8. They are awesome classes and we will have classes running the whole day long. Email ptdiva@ptdiva.com and put class descriptions in the subject and she will mail you class descriptions.

CLASSES FOR SEPTEMBER 8

I just got photos for some of the classes on Saturday September 8. I am now taking registrations for them. Call the store at 402-763-9675 This bunch of classes are all taught by designer Vicki Chrisman and her sister Jan (who should be a disgner) . Vicki is very well known and travels all over the USA to show her work. I see her work in about every scrapbook magaizine I look at. I have taken many of her classes and she is an aweome teacher. Check out her blog at http://www.vickichrisman.blogspot.com/

Please email me at ptdiva@ptdiva.com for full class descriptions. I am posting photos on the blog for you to see samples.

Sunday's Storm

We started off today by going to church and when we came out of church it was like a steam bath outside today so I took the twins and Paul to see a movie. We went to see Underdog (which was a cute movie). Trevor worked at the store today and the digital printing is just about ready! We will even have a spot you can come and digitally scrapbook. It will be awesome!

We will have basic digital scrapbooking classes and advanced classes starting September 8. Come to our grand opening celebration to see what all is available and meet our teachers. They will be doing demonstrations. One of our digital teacher also teaches it at Metro Tech college. It will be much cheaper to take it at Precious Treasures!

Now to the interesting part of the day. When we came out of the movie there was a bad storm. I called Trevor at the store as they said it was hitting Gretna. Well he said he has never seen anything like it. The tree in front of the store broke off at the base of the trunk. He said he almost parked next to it today but then decided to park in back. God was watching out for him.
The roof was leaking again at the store and Trevor had to cover things and move things. Needless to say he had an interesting day! Even with all that going he said the store was busy all day. I think I owe him a movie or dinner for all he had to go through. :)

ALBUMS, EZ CUTTERS AND GRETNA DIE

Well, I got through a couple more boxes today and one was albums which I also got in the heat set die to imprint the dragon on the album and also got in the green leather 12x12 albums. If you have not used the leather albums, stop by the store and check them out. They are my favorite and a great price of only $29.99 and you get half off the line of imprinting with the purchase of ANY of our albums. Start thinking now about Christmas presents.

Now for the big one!!! The EZ-CUTTERS are in. This is the one there was a huge line at CHA at their booth of stores waiting to order them. This is a brand new product to cut circles, ovals, tags or even use them with any of those old plastic templates you may have floating around your crop room. I was faithful to that CM cutter and this one I will throw out the CM cutter for. Stop by and I will show you how it works. Mention the blog and if you purchase the complete set I will give you 25% off. How cool is that?

My nieces have gotten so big though, one is 4 and one is 7. Hubby took them all to the zoo yesterday and they had so much fun.

REMINISCE..HUGE ORDER IN

I just got in 52 packs of paper from reminisce. Not a lot of new stuff though. Just with the two large crops the last two weekends we were wiped out.

One thing I did get was the coordinating papers for the popular line of papers for mom, cousins, grandma, etc. Also a really neat turkey paper. We have all the papers with the numbers all over them again. These are great for birthdays, grade levels etc. I just cannot keep those in. The other new one was a boys line of papers.

Put more stuff on the clearance rack! Lots of albums.

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.
