Newflashes STAMPLICITY NEWSFLASH for July 2009
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 Spring & 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 Spring & 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:

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!!!
