Merry Christmas

I know this is a little late, but I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. Nathan has been fighting pneumonia this last couple of weeks, and I am afraid that I'm trying to get it, so needless to say, I am a little behind on everything. Hopefully, I will have a class schedule and newsletter ready for you by New Year's Day.

Speaking of New Years, I hope that one of your New Year's Resolutions is to get more scrapbooking done. I know that mine is. To help you accomplish your goal, the store will have a free crop space available every Tuesday - Friday during store hours. Just call ahead to reserve your spot. If you've ever cropped at the store before, you know that it's a great way to get things accomplished without all of the interruptions that happen at home.

Well, I'm off to try to plan the next four months. Please sign up early for classes. It makes it so much easier for us to be prepared with the right amount of product and supplies.

Once again, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you have a very Happy, Productive, and Successful New Year!

Love,
Johanna

Wish You Were Here

Saturday's Crop was a lot of fun. What a great group of ladies. I only wish more of you could have joined us. Great hobby, great company, good food,....what more does a gal need to enjoy her weekend? I just loved having you all here and am looking forward to having more crops next year. I just can't believe that I forgot to take pictures of all of the action again! What kind of scrapbooker am I? (Besides a busy one, teaching a Christmas card class and having a crop at the same time!)

I just wanted to give you a heads up on the store hours around the 21st - 23rd. My in-laws will be here, so you might want to call before you head out to the store, and make sure I'm there. Please leave a message if you don't get me. I promise that I will call you back. I'll even open the store especially for you if you need something.

We've got gift certificates!!
They make such a great gift for the scrapper who has
everything. The gift certificate is good for anything in the
store, including sale items. I'll also help you put together
a great gift on any budget.
Our sale is still on!
We've got discounts from 15% to 50% on just about
everything in the store. Now is a great time to stock up for
those cold winter days!
A couple more reminders.....bring in your Christmas pages! I'd love to display your wonderful layouts, and post them here on the blog. And don't forget to bring in your recipes for our recipe book series. If we use yours, you get to take the class that features your recipe for free!
I do hope you are all taking the time to enjoy your holiday season. Make great memories with your family and loved ones. Capture them, (the memories, not your family!) journal them, and enjoy them. These are moments that need to be absorbed and etched into our minds and hearts forever. After all, to quote one of my favorite holiday songs, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!". Merry Christmas!
