We have lots to share with YOU! 

Rosemary just celebrated her 1st birthday on April 29th. Here she is with her sister Grace, in a rare photo where Grace isn't trying to pick her up and cart her somewhere. Rosie doesn't like that at all!!! These grandchildren are growing up very fast.

STAMPLICITY NEWSFLASH for July 2009

We have some very exciting news to share with you. Brenda, (my parttimer) who I think most of you know by now, became Mrs Gina Piccolo on June 13th in Las Vegas. All of us are very happy to see Brenda has found love and happiness once again. Gino is a great guy and Brenda's son, Joshua, is happy to have a father figure in his life once again. I hope all of you will wish Brenda every happiness in their future together.

It's summer finally and Keith and I just spent a nice couple days in London visiting his brother and his family. Also got to see his oldest daughter and her family and as I write this we are on our way home by way of Ancaster to visit his youngest daughter and the other 3 grandchildren. So we get to see everybody in one weekend. I must tell you that I got very hooked on the WII while up there. I have a feeling that I might get one in the not to distant future. As a matter of fact my birthday is in a week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We all had a blast and I could see me finally getting some exercise on the WII fit program. Spent a day at greenhouses so we have some lovely plants for our new flower garden at the house and spent one evening in their jacuzzi drinking coolers. What more could you ask for in a few days off. Now back to business!! Oh, one more piece of news. Rosie's walking!!!!!!!!!

I continue to keep ordering Nestabilities for the store and they continue to fly off the shelf! Brenda has done a fantastic job of completing display boards of all the Nestabilities and Cuttlebug die and folders we will continue to keep in stock. As well, I have been working hard to get 2 display boards up showing all the lovely 3D images that we have available for card making. Stamping and card making, although always popular, are making a comeback in a big way. People are realizing how much satisfaction you can get by making your own cards and also the pleasure people get in receiving something handmade.

New Nestabilities are just around the corner, hope to have them sometime in July.

We have one more event this year other than our Fall Fling. Stampfest is a yearly event for us in Bancroft and Bryan and Sandy will once again be attending with us to do make and takes. Mark your calendar for July 18th 9 to 4 at the Legion hall in downtown Bancroft and join us as well as thirteen other vendors for a fun packed day.

Attendees continue to sign up for our Fall Fling. Bryan's 2 Sat. classes are full, therefore we have opened 2 classes for the Sunday. There are still some opening for the Make and Takes for Sat. and quite a few openings for Sunday. The crop area for Saturday is now full which means Option #5, Option #7 & Option #8 are no longer available, but we do have openings for Sunday (Option #6). Anyone who has attended my events know we offer a fun day with many prizes, treats and store specials. Attendees who sign up for an entire day will receive a jam packed goody bag as well. Sign up now so you won't be disappointed.

Our Sweet Deal for the month of July will be a new product called "Ribbon Dispenser" Check out www.bestscrapbookshelf.com to see a video of this neat product. The special price is $11.50 for the"Ribbon Dispenser & Spooler Kit" and $4.95 for the "Ribbon 2 Dispenser Package".

The Sweet Deal for August is a stamp set from a new company to Stamplicity called "My Favourite Things". Check the site or visit the store to see the great deal.. ( This was suppose to be July's deal but we couldn't get the stamps in, in time.)

In the previous newsflash I mentioned that Provo Craft no longer makes Coluzzles. This is still true but for those of you that like this system and would like to continue using your templates, mat and knife I am happy to inform you that we have found refill blades and mats that will work with your templates. We have them in stock now!!

We have pretty well made a decision in regards to the new cardstocks we will be carrying in the future. Last week we heard that Worldwin no longer makes any of the Colormates that we have been carrying for the last 4 years. We still have many left on the shelves so as our stock runs low we will be replacing them with Bazzill smooth 12 X 12. We have been carrying the lovely Prism textured line and will be restocking them. I am continuing to investigate a few other options as well.

Oh my goodness, we have so many new exciting patterned papers we want to bring in and I haven't even seen new ones coming out from the Retailer Convention in mid July. Kelley Grace is a Rep. for many companies and as she is going to Orlando for the convention, she will be keeping her eyes and ears open for me.

New House Mouse stamps are on their way and more Penny Black stamps. At the end of June we will be ordering the Magenta Sweet Deal stamps that people have pre-ordered and the girls and I are going to pick some new designs from that company. I've seen some great images I would like to carry in the store.

Canal Days will be upon Port Colborne once again this year on the August 1st long weekend. Check out the following sites for more details and for a list of the popular bands that will be performing in the Market Square. www.portcolborne.com or www.canaldays.ca Of course, Stamplicity will have extended hours on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Here's just a few things planned. Canal Days Festival Attractions include the following:

These are just some of the wonderful things you can do and experience at Canal Days 2009.

We now have a certified Teacher of Copic Markers! Our Sue went on course a month or so ago and Brenda, Janice and I sat down and had a class with her this week. We are now all hooked on these Alcohol Markers. Sue has now set up a 3 hour Copic Marker class for $35.00. Attendees will be given a booklet that will contain all the information and samples you would need for reference to use these amazing markers. Just call the store to set up a class.

That's all the news I have for now. Hope to see you at Canal Days!!!

STAMPLICITY'S FALL FLING

SEPTEMBER 12TH & 13TH

I am sure with all the options available and the cheaper costs, the Fall Fing will fill up fast. I am limited with the space for the crop area therefore if you are interested don't hesitate to contact me as soon as possible.

To enter a card swap you must be prepared to make a number of cards. The number depends on how many sign up. If I get an overwhelming number I will probably open a couple swaps so attendees aren't having to make a huge number of cards.

With that, I'll let you read on and find out the amazing deal you'll have if you attend our weekend.

Warm regards
Pauline

**********

We have changed the format of our event this year as well as our name. We have decided in these tough economic times to offer many options for everyone at very affordable prices. It will make it much easier for us as well as we will not have to set up a store at any hotel. The fall fling will be held at our store 14 Clarence St Port Colborne and at a vacant part of Rossman's clothing store directly across the street from the store.

All Options must be booked and paid ahead of time. Make and Takes will take place at half hour intervals and we will schedule them if they apply to your option once you sign up.

Please call or visit the store to sign up and supply us with a credit card or cash to reserve your space.

905-834-7564 fax 905-835-0756 email pbain1@sympatico.ca

As usual, Stamplicity offers great value on any of the packages available this year.

More Details...

As Bryan and Sandy will be joining us once again this year we decided to have Sandy host a make and take. 3 Make and Takes will be done in a balcony area of the crop room. Bryan will be doing a Stampscape make and take and a Stampscape class in the store workshop both Saturday and Sunday. His class will cost $20.00 for 2 hours and his make and take will cost $7.00. These prices are extra on top of the option you choose if you wish instruction and/or a class with Bryan. Anyone taking Bryan's make and take should have basic Stampscape experience as he will be focusing on advance techniques such as colouring, night scenes, fog scenes etc. A basic black and white card panel will be done for you and then on Bryan's instruction you will finish the card. Attendees only qualify for one goody bag.

When you register for Option 7 or 8 you can also sign up to participate in a Card Swap.

Meals will not be provided but there are restaurants and cafés within one block from the store. There are many unique stores in the downtown area and on West street right along the Welland canal which again is only a block away. I will be trying to get coupons for discounts at the local establishments. The store will be open from 9 to 5 each day with sales happening and any coupons you receive will be cost savings on various items.
