We had the weekend of Nov 4-6 booked for our fundraising event with the lovely Cathie Allan – BUT, we have had to change the date, and the location!!!
On the flip side, we get bigger bedrooms, a bigger crop area AND the same awesome food will be catered that we had last year!!
Our “BIG or small – save ‘em ALL!” event will now be held at the Oyster Bay Resort on October 28-30th.
PLUS we have added TWO additional instructors to the event!!!! Be Creative’s Haroldine Wingfield and Glitter Ritz’s Deanna Pannell are coming to town!!!! Known for their “Burnished Velvet” technique these two ladies are NOTHING short of talented and we feel ever so BLESSED to have these THREE ladies come and teach their skills and knowledge with us!!

We are looking forward to the next issue of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine available for purchase in-store soon!

I can’t believe that FIVE years have gone by since I fulfilled my school-day DREAMS of owning a “craft” shop!! Though the circumstances are different than planned, it has been ALL that it was dreamt up to be, largely in part to YOU, my customers!!! THANK-YOU; for the chats, for sharing your stories/thoughts/ideas/scrapping projects etc., for your support over the years, and  for your “friendship” most of all …thank-YOU!! PS: If you are confused re: the “circumstances” comment, see the “About Us” tab on the website;) then tell me a “fact” from the “About Us” page and receive a small gift!

Of course we could not pass this MILESTONE without a S-A-L-E!!

My hubby and I stopped by the Ocean Resort last night, where we will be holding our breast cancer fundraiser retreat …AND, we found out there is MORE room than we figured!! We had one spot left and sold it twice lol, so we thought we were sold out – BUT, now we can take FOUR MORE people!!!!

IF YOU are still sitting on the fence about coming to this amazing event… consider this: Cathie Allan IS coming to town!! Famoulsy known for starting all of her projects with a plain piece of WHITE paper. When she is done her paper is FAR from white, and can look like leather, suede, metallic, even printed paper… that is ANYTHING BUT plain!!!!!!!!

How COOL is that all by itself, but, if you need further enticing… Did we mention that EVERYONE gets tons of SWAG??? Oh YES you do – from magazines & stamps, to tools & inks and MORE!! OH, and EVERYONE gets a welcoming GIFT too!! OH YA, and EVERYONE, (everyone!!) gets a DOOR PRIZE and …I’m just sayin’… PRETTY – NICE – STUFF!!! SO MUCH FREE stuff – you will need to bring an extra bag just to haul your SWAG home!!!!

PLUS …plus a CHEF who comes with RAVE REVIEWS will be cooking for you A-L-L weekend long!! NOT to mention the SIX CLASSES taught to you by CATHIE ALLAN!!! Nope, I’m NOT even going to tell you all of a SURPRISE she has up her sleeves, but I WILL guarantee you, you’re going to LOVE IT!
