The Scrapbook SentinelA Free Newsletter For The Friends of:
Imagine That! Scrapbooks & Gifts

Another October is over and hopefully you all are off your sugar rush from all the Halloween Candy! The best part of Halloween for me (Besides Aedan's adorable costumes) is I'm that much closer to my all time favorite holiday... Thanksgiving! Yup that crazy holiday has actually snuck up on us again. It seems like I have been snapping pictures non stop: With the Fair, all or our submissions to the Arts & Crafts, Store events like our annual Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser- (CONGRATULATIONS TO Joan Nichols for winning our amazing gift basket vlaued at over $1000.00), having the one and only Lance Anderson teaching at our store, Fall pictures of Aedan playing in the leaves, the changing of the colors and now I get to take even more pictures of my favorite holiday with my family. I love to decorate, cook & bake. This year is going to be a little different for us. I have actually decided to have our annual Black Friday sale BEFORE Black Friday. Why you ask? Well for many reasons.... But the biggest reason is so you can spend time with your family and friends this holiday weekend and make precious memories that will last a lifetime, and not have to fight the crazy crowds. Because that is exactly what WE are going to do. I have decided to have our biggest bestest (ok that's not really a word) sale ever during our annual Open House the SUNDAY before (November17th from 12 to 6pm) so we can be CLOSED so OUR family can spend time together and make our own memories....

Every year I make a craft project with my top things I am most Thankful for, and each year my list changes a little, but usually my top 5 remain the same. If you have not made your list take the time right now and jot them down. Here are my items I am most thankful for: 1- God, 2- My Church, 3- My Children & Family, 4- My Faith, 5- My Country (Being an American), 6- My memories, 7- My Health, 8- The laughter of a Child, 9- Being able to work for myslef & 10- Being a Grandma (AKA Dr'Amma).

For me Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to get together, to enjoy a good meal, tell stories, play games & of course eat pie. I think the holiday encourages people to help their fellow man & once again I will be at the Casa Winter Wonderland to help with this very important cause, this event was very important to my late husband and I continue on with this tradition. If you have never attended this please make time with your busy schedule to just stop by for a little while, every dollar helps a child in need.

Thanksgiving means different things to different people.
Just what does Thanksgiving mean to you?

November Challenge

Every month we will be posting a challenge on our Facebook, Blog, in our newsletter etc. The Challenge will be the same, you can just access it from all outlets! The challenge will be both a product and sketch challenge. We will provide you with a sketch and a line that your layout (or project) must be completed from. The layout must be 80% of that product line, so yes, you can add more of your own embellishments and touches! Every month our design team will provide you with samples and ideas to get those creative juices going. (They WILL NOT actually be in the challenge) With that said the challenge and prizes are available to ANYONE except store employees and immediate families of store employees!
