This week we will be painting with Twinkling H2o's. Please bring your paint brushes. We will do a simple card so you can get a feel for painting.

See you later.

Winner

The Shop Hop is over and our winner for the store prize is Jenn Rawslu of Palatka, Florida. We want to thank everyone who participated in the Hop.

Now we are gearing up for National Scrapbook Day. Saturday we will have a day full of activities, lunch, and drawings. Stay tuned for more information. Fun! Fun! Fun! all day long.

Well, the Shop Hop for 2009 is almost over. We will be here tonight until 11:00p.m. and tomorrow from 12:00 until 5:00. Everybody hopping seems to be having a great time. Lot's of luck to all those ladies completing their passports.

New in the store is the 'Fashionista' line from Graphic 45. What can I say, they have done it again. I could not choose so I ordered the whole line. We also have the new Somerset Studios, Where Women Create, Artful Blogging, and Catch Up Issue. We have Bo Bunny 'Alissa ' paper and with some embellishments. The colors are pink, teal, black, and green. So pretty!!! Then there is Basic Greys' Porcelain and Lime Ricky. The clear stamp set with the butterflies is so pretty.

Have a great weekend.

Shop-Hop T-shirts have arrived in the shop. You can pick them up anytime. I did order a few extra shirts if you did not order a shirt at the time you registered. Supplies are limited. We also have a limited supply of lanyards. So do not miss out on having one for your hop experience.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter. Don't eat too many chocolate bunnies or hide too many eggs. I know you can never have too much chocolate of any kind. We will be open tomorrow so come on by and have a little visit. The crop tables are open all day.

My brother, niece, great niece and nephew are coming this week. We are all so excited to see this new little boy in our family. Emily has packed 2 bags of playthings for she and Amy. They are both 4 years old and full of it if you know what I mean. I can't wait for our sleepover as Emily calls it. I think I better get a good night sleep tonight to prepare myself. Since we are having this sleepover there will be no crop night Friday night.

I am having some issues with my calendar. I have posted weekly happenings instead of the calendar. Next week our Thursday night One Hour Layout will be rescheduled. I will let you know which night.

I guess I better lockup and get home.
