Route 5 Retreat

I can't believe that we are just a month away from this wonderful event. I just have to tell you how much fun it has been getting to know and to have a chance to work with the other scrapbook store owners in the valley. I just found a sneak peak of Courtney's project that she'll be teaching at the retreat. I'm sharing the picture here, it looks so fun I wish I could make the project. As of the end of last week there were about 10 tickets left. So if you want to come or if you already have your ticket and you want to bring a friend, give us a call and we'll get you a ticket.

New Products

Summer CHA was held at the end of July in Chicago. We don't usually attend the summer show, but we have some really great reps that come our way right after the show to with many new products. So Gloria and I have had a week of rep appointments, ordering lots of new products for all you scrappers and yes some new stuff you stampers as well. We've been seeing lots of fall, halloween, and holiday products. As you know from the past, some of it will ship right away, while much of it will ship September and October. So this gives you plenty of reason to come in the store on a regular basis to see what's new. Another reason to come in to the store this month is to take advantage of our SALE A DAY IN AUGUST. Each day a different product is featured and will be marked down 25-40%. I've got to get to my desk and start paying the bills, (after all we don't want the lights shut off the next time you visit.) But early next week I will post some pictures of some of our favorite picks. One thing we ordered BEFORE the show even started so we could get in line are the all new acrylic albums. Yep, another new surface to work on. I've been seeing samples of some of these mini albums done and they are incredible. A see-through page, can you imagine. So if you put a rub-on on one side, you can see it on the other side. How fun is that? So please check in again real soon to wet your appetite for all the great things to come.
