Scrapbooks & Gifts Back to top As we ring in yet another new year, many of us will make our resolutions for the year. You know the same things we say we are going to do every year.... Lose weight, get organized, save some extra cash, eat healthier, and the list goes on and on. But do we ever really ever accomplish our resolutions year after year? This got me to thinking I am not going to make any resolutions; after all I know I won’t keep it for more than a week or two anyway. Instead I am going to set goals for myself. My goal for 2013 is to Live Life In The Moment and be the best I can be whether at work or play. When I’m working, I want to work hard. I want to use my time wisely, keep my head on the goal or task at hand, and have the results to show for it. When I’m home, I want to make time to put away my responsibilities, and just enjoy the moment without feeling guilty that I SHOULD be doing something else. I think those times are important, and are way too few and far between. I also think that making more time to recharge that way will only serve to make me more centered, more productive, and more satisfied in my work life. It is my goal to keep a journal, write a few things each day: Accomplishments, Disappointments, etc. Anyway, it’s not a complicated goal, but I think, an important one, and I’ll let you know how it works out as the year progresses.

It is an exciting New Year with many new opportunities awaiting. This past year has brought me so many blessings I can only hope that the New Year will continue to bring me more. As things return to normal at the store and all the Christmas decorations are taken down we are preparing for all the new ideas and product that will be returning from CHA (the Craft and Hobby Association). Meanwhile we are rearranging and shuffling stuff down at the store to make room for all the new product that will soon be arriving and hitting our floors. As always there are new classes, including painting scratch board and watercolor just waiting to be signed up for. I always look forward to seeing new faces in class and remember the majority of our classes are not age or experienced required so don't be afraid to give our classes a try. I wish all of you a happy and blessed New Year! Cast your VOTE! Back to top We want to know what you want! Please CAST your VOTE for your 3 Favorite PAPER Lines!

January Challenge Back to top 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.

Yes, that means you can even be from out of town! All you have to do is complete the challenge and turn it in to us by the deadline and we will announce the winners! ***Note that our Challenge themes are always a month behind.

The Evolution of a Scrapbooker Back to top "Cut a picture? You've got to be kidding!" "Well those sure are cute pages. I'm not that creative." "You have IDEA BOOKS? Let me see." "I guess I'll need an album, some adhesives, and paper." "Oh, and I'll also need some templates, stickers, die cuts, and one of those trimmer things." "I can't get my page to look exactly like the one in the book!" "You mean I have to write in my album? I will need some pens. What should I write?" "I finished my first page. Do you like it?" "You know I have a ton of zoo pictures, and Jr. needs his school pages done; I need another album and some more paper." "You have printed paper? And precut paper? I'll take one of each!" "NEW STICKERS? I'll take some!" "NEW DIECUTS? I'll need those!" "A NEW TOOL! I NEED THAT!" "A NEW IDEA BOOK? GIVE ME THAT NOW!" "Wow - even bags and binders to get my supplies organized? I definitely need those!" "Sorry honey, you'll have to make dinner - I'm off to a crop!" "Clean socks are in the dryer!" "HOLD IT! I HAVE to get a picture of that for the scrapbook." "Would you please wear this shirt? I have the cutest paper to use in my layout and it will match perfectly!" "YES, I came up with the idea myself." "YES, That is my own handwriting." "YES, I make time to scrapbook." "Honey, we need to add a room to the house for my scrapping room." "Life is crazy. I just need to crop!"
