CONTEST UPDATE!
Just in case you didn't get/see/read the newsletter update - we would like you to re-think the layout name. Try to ignore the cute twins (don't tell them I said they were cute - they are 8 year old boys, after all!); our name for the page - "school daze"; and just focus on the paper and the layout. We do have all the titles written down, but if you want to give it another go - please do! This is not a one-per-person contest :)
Road Trip
Hi!
As some of you know Cheryl and I closed the store Tuesday and went on a road trip. We went to Hollo's in Ohio. We made the trip in 1 day. It was rushed but we had a great time and saw lots of interesting stuff. We picked up lots of 12 x 12 card stock (color thru) and 8 1/2 x 11 card stock.
We also stopped in at Archiver's just outside of Cleveland. It's an interesting store and we saw some paper we are hoping to put in our store.
CK Convention- Cheryl and I had the opportunity to work for Stamping Station during the convention. We were pleasantly surprised to see the large variety of paper and travel stickers they carry. Their website is very hard to negotiate and we rarely find what we want. We will soon becarrying their double sided adhesive paper and glitter/bead combo.
