Let it Snow?

So, another weekend with snow in the forcast. There's about 2 inches (maybe 3) outside and more headed our way. I have a feeling there won't be many of you signing up for classes this weekend! That's okay. The good news is, if you still would like to take the Valentine Card class, I will be more than happy to reschedule. e-mail me at mimistrunk@hbeark.com or give me a call and let me know what works for you. Maybe we can get enough of you together to have a class.

I had so much fun this week. Tori, one of the young women from my church had an English assignment that she needed some help with. She had to make a scrapbook about the Ares, the Greek god of war. She did such a great job gathering all of her information, then we went into the store and she picked out some great Basic Grey papers (The Motifica line, which was just perfect for this project.) I taught her how to use the Wishblade to cut titles, and then suggested, and demonstrated a few techniques and she went to town. She did an awesome job. I will be posting a picture tomorrow, and then, when she gets the book back, she's going to let me display it in the store for awhile. You'll have to stop by and check it out to see what an amazing job she did! Now, why didn't they have cool projects like that when I was in school??

We've got some new arrivals at the store. Heidi swap flowers (The really big ones), and Cat's Eye chalk inks. (If you've never used these, you ought to give them a try. They work like an inkpad, but look like chalk, and at $2.00 a piece, they are a great little item to add to your supplies.) As I mentioned before, the Basic Grey Blush line is in, along with the mini monogram chipboard and their chipboard with all the fun accents like photo corners, hinges, etc. I can't wait to play with them! I've also been working on some fun Valentine embellishments that are premade. All you have to do is add them to your pages.


In an effort to make room for new products from Chatterbox
all of our current Chatterbox products are 40% off while supplies last!
Come in and stock up!
This sale includes papers, stickers, rub-ons, mugs, and the font cd!
Well, it's way past time for bed. I'm going to get some rest so that I can get up and create in the morning. Speaking of creating, check out www.scrapvillage.com to get information about their Virtual Crop this weekend. They are soooo much fun, especially when you've got a weekend like we're going to be having! You will get great ideas for pages, and get a lot accomplished if you take on the challenges. You earn points for everyone that you complete, and the one with the most points gets a prize! The ladies are Scrapvillage are so much fun. It is a great on-line community. I'm scrapbk4ewe there, so if you see me, say hi!
Until tomorrow!

New Year...New Classes!

Happy New Year!! I am so excited to get going with classes for this New Year. I don't know what it is about welcoming in the New Year that makes me so happy, but I'm pretty sure that it's the excitement of an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start over....and that is part of my New Year's resolution...to not worry about what I didn't accomplish last year, and to get excited about what I hope to accomplish THIS year. One thing is for sure...I will be doing a lot of my own scrapbooking this year. I'm getting behind, and I need to catch up and get stories told while they are still fresh in my mind. I also plan on making several theme albums for family members. I want to tell those I love, just how much they mean to me.

Several of you have been asking...so here it is! The New Class Schedule for the next four months. (Another resolution...to actually get the samples posted! I have been sooo bad about that!)
