MAY 14TH NEWSFLASH

This email is more on the personal side. Anyone who knows me, knows computers and I just don't get along. Well, this time when talking to Bell about not being able to logon onto my personal email at home since last Tuesday I have been escalated to the higher ups in corporate office. It hasn't been pretty and with a few black russians later (it's a drink) at this point I can no longer use my email address of This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . They have told me (can you believe this) if I had a cell phone they could text me a code to put in which would allow me to reset my password but since I don't have a cell phone they can't figure out how to fix the block of my email address!!

Soooo, in the future until further notice if contacting me regarding store business please send emails to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you wish to email me personally please use This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Since I'm already sending an email I might as well bring everyone up to date on the store as well. We continue to receive product from Spellbinders and Tim Holtz. One thing, customers love about our store, is that we have samples of all the embossing folders, Spellbinders, Sizzix and Tim Holtz dies that we carry. Sometimes you just need to see what it looks like as packaging just doesn't do the product justice. We have finally got most of the samples up on our black boards. A few new spellbinders are still not available but they have been pre-ordered so I'll be one of the first to receive them. Please remember, you can pre-order almost anything with us.

Keeping up with all the new 3D designs is a challenge to be sure. There are some new interesting border peel off stickers now available...we'll be stocking them soon. Check out www.ecstasycrafts.com to see all their products (I can get almost anything you see on that site)

More Viva Decor products are now on our shelves, embossing creams, pearl pens plus other products and they have some great stamp sets as well that we have pursued.

As you know when you visit us we are always updating the store, trying to improve it in any way, therefore we have begun to change how we feature our paper lines. You will see more co-ordinating programs with their embellishments in the future. The Pink Paislee line was such a success and we are just waiting for the new Bo Bunny lines and embellishments, Barefoot and Bliss and Zoology. We welcome any input from our customers in what they would like to see us carry. We can only help you if you give us your feedback. We have other new companies we are looking at.

I guess that's it for now. The next newsflash I send out will have all the details of our fall fling. What fun it will be with all the plans we are talking about. One thing I will tell you now is that we have been fortunate to obtain Kelley Grace as our teacher for the weekend. Her classes will excite everyone!! Check out her website www.kelleygracedesigns.com. Kelley represents many companies and there is a link to those companies on her site. Stay tuned for more exciting news on our event which will be on the weekend of Sept 9, 10 and 11th. Bryan Hann who teaches Stampscapes we be with us again so I would appreciate a response from anyone who would be interested in his class to see what the numbers are.

Till next time, oh and keep your fingers crossed that I can keep my sanity with my issues with Bell.

Happy Spring...Pauline
