Resources Newflashes STAMPLICITY NEWSFLASH FOR MARCH 2009
I have to do my Quarterly Newsletter before April, but there are a few things I wanted to tell you about now and didn’t want it to wait another month. First a reminder that Spring Break is only a few weeks away (begins March 16th through to the 20th) and we have many interesting classes lined up for girls and boys between the ages of 9 to 15. Here is what is taking place... Every morning during March break 10:30 to 12:30 will be set aside for children age 9 to 15 to complete a scrapbook. Every afternoon will be set aside for a cardmaking class from 1:30 to 3:30 for children age 9 to 15. For more details on each class please log into my site www.stamplicity.com.

March’s Sweet deal is your choice of one of the 3 wood mount Stampscapes stamp set at a great price of $37.95. Again the site has all the details and pictures. It looks like I’ve decided on the Sweet Deal for April from Hero Arts. Stay tuned for that.

If my web site doesn’t look quite up to date in the next week or so it’s because I am having major problems getting into Microsoft Frontpage to make any changes. I currently have a web design company, Microsoft and Netrover looking into it. If anyone knows me, computers and I just don’t get along too well and I just don’t have the patience to deal with them. I can handle it, if all is well, but if something goes wrong or you ask me any questions about the mechanics of them I just confess ignorance. Truly this is not my favourite thing to work with...talk about stress!!!!! Give me a stamp or scrapbook any day!!

March 29th is my annual event for my 3 “S” members. We have a get-together every year and it’s my way of thanking all the members for hanging in there with me and supporting my business by making the commitment to joining the club. You know who you are and a personal email invite has gone out to each of you. Please re- ply ASAP as I have a large membership and need to know a count. Unfortunately due to the large membership, members cannot ‘bring a friend’. I am currently getting quotes at other venues regarding Stamplicity’s Spring & Fall Fling. I think it might be time to move on to a different location, but that’s not as easy as it sounds. I want to keep the retreat as affordable as I can. Having said that, looking at other retreats and events; my prices have been extremely reasonable in the past. I have one place in mind that is simply perfect in every way for my event...we’ll have to see how much they want my business. The dates have been decided though so you can write on your calendar Sept 11th, 12th and 13th. A special email will go out to all past attendees so they can sign up first. Stay tuned for the details on this very popular event and when it’s announced sign up quickly to avoid disappointment.

Here’s a bit of news for those of you who love H20 Twinkles. The company, Luminarte, has closed it’s doors and their products will no longer be available. A few months ago I put my inventory on sale as they just weren’t moving anymore. If anyone is interested in obtaining any of the remaining Twinkles I have, they are 50% off. Also regarding sale items, I still have some nice Christmas stamps in the sale area. There is one Cricut cartridge left that is discounted, “Making the Grade” which would be great for any teachers. Zig calligraphy markers & writers are also discounted. Racing paper is in the sale area and many other items. Only Halloween Cuttlebug dies are left now on sale. Come in & check out our bargain zone. Everything in the Bargain Zone is 50% off.

I am keeping up to date when the new Spellbinder dies will be available. They are amazing but you’re going to have to wait a bit. They are saying not till late March and they have also said that there is production problems with the Pierceability dies so they will not be available till goodness knows when. Our Easter stamps from Penny Black, Stampabilities (house mouse) and Stampendous are on their way. Every order I’ve made lately has taken a long time to come in and the companies are blaming it on The CHA orders taken at the California Retailer show.

The product Flower Soft is now in the store and Brenda was so excited that she has already made up a some cards. Wait till you see the 3 cards you’ll make if you take the class. They will be on the site as soon as I can get the darn thing working!! Also the new “Whitewash” Core-dinations packs have come in...very nice. We also have in more of the “Black Magic” and “Chocolate” packs. Hero Arts stamps just came in and are going out the door quickly. They just released another new supplement so I’ll be ordering again soon.

Scrapfest is a Kitchener event where many vendors get together and offer attendees amazing classes and an opportunity to do some shopping under 1 roof. The last time I heard, there will be 50 vendors there, which includes me! So mark down April 17th & 18th on your calendar and plan to attend this event. We’ll be there doing a make and take on Stampscapes with hopefully Bryan and Sandy with us. Priorities are always changing. I just heard that they have discontinued ½ of the paper line I have always carried so now that will be on the top of my list to investigate which company to carry. There are at least 2 stamp companies that I will be bringing in as soon as I can...My Favourite Things and Stamping Bella. Check out their sites www.stampingbella.com and www.mftstamps.com. If there is anything you would like to order just let us know. We’ll add it onto our order and let you know as soon as it comes in.

I think that’s it for now.

HAPPY SPRING...THE STAMPLICITY GANG
