Memorial Day Weekend

It seems like every year we make plans to go camping on Memorial Day weekend and it rains. This year no plans and the weather is beautiful. Go Figure! If you are spending the weekend at home and don't have much on your plate, please join me tomorrow night for a Crop A Lot. I'll bring the pizza and sodas, you bring your scrappin' stuff and we'll have one great time. Give us a call if you'd like to sign up. 857-4998 For those of you that are busy, busy, busy I hope you have a save and happy weekend. Stacey

This and That

I spent last weekend in Brookings. It's so nice to have a wonderful little get-a-way so close to home. Although the way my husband drives through the Smith River scares me to death. I always swear I'm never going again and his comeback is always the same "Why don't you just go to sleep for awhile." We had our annual Scrappers Garage Sale this last Saturday as well. Let me tell you there were some really great deals. Brand new organizational totes that had never been used were sold for dirt cheap. There were tools, papers, stamps and more. If you are still doing spring cleaning, box up those unwanted supplies and save them for next years sale. It's an easy way to make some scrapbook bucks. We hired a new team member here at the King. Her name is Marilyn and she is a scrapper and stamper. We are so blessed to have found someone so talented. You will most often see Marilyn at the store on Saturday's and on occasion at the workshops and Crop A Lots. I think when you have the chance to meet her you will think she is quite a delight. Welcome aboard Marilyn! We have started selling tickets for the Route 5 Scrapbook Retreat. This is going to be a really great event right here in the Rogue Valley. We have flyers at the store if you would like more information, leave a comment here on the Blog and I can email you a copy of the flyer. Have a wonderful afternoon! Stacey

Updates

Hello friends, It's been awhile since I've given you any updates about the happenings here at "The King." We've received some new items in the store that I'm sure you will enjoy. Last week we unpacked new papers and embellishments from 7 Gypsies. I'm including some photos of their new line of beautiful papers, their new tags and the awesome new clear rubber stamps which are so Gypsie style. We're still working on putting out the new May product from EK Success. The Cutterpede cutter now comes in a pretty pink. They also now have 2 new tool totes that are pink. I have one and use it for my clear stamps and my inks and blocks go in the bottom compartment. Pretty snazzee. Another line that arrived recently was Creative Imaginations. Part of our CHA order finally shipped and we got in some fun new "beachy, tropical" papers and embellishments that are FABULOUS. They have epoxy stickers, big printed brads and chipboard elements. Also from CI we received the wine line. Great papers and embellies for our area of growing wineries and for those of us that enjoy a little sip of the good stuff once in awhile. I personally can't wait to do a Wine and Seafood Festival layout with these great products. We are now officially selling tickets for the Route 5 Scrapbook Retreat. Four of your LSS (local scrapbook stores) are putting on this amazing event. It will be held Friday and Saturday, September 21-22. Friday night each store will host an in-store kick off event. Saturday will be an all day scrapbook session from 9a.m. to 11p.m. at the Windmill Inn and Suites of Ashland. At the retreat there will be shopping, mini projects, an appearance by Renowned designer, Karen Russell, 2 catered meals, Raffle and door prizes. Proceeds from this event will go to the Children's Advocacy Center. Space is limited so be sure to stop by and get your ticket as soon as possible (cash or check only.) Our newsletter should have arrived in your mailbox by now. We have a lot of great classes coming up. Look at the calendar on our website, www.stampstruck.com. Double click on the name of the class and you will most likely see a photo of the class project. Have a great weekend everyone and I hope to post again next week. Stacey
