R&R Scrapbooking August Newsletter 2007
OK yes I’m seeing the obvious… where was the July Newsletter? Fair question.. I’d suggest to you, Where was JULY?!?!? Summer has just flown by and here we are the second week in August!
I’m already teasing Ryley with the Staples song, humming around the kitchen
“the most wonderful time of the year” for those of you who haven’t seen the
commercial it depicts a dad skipping along the aisles of Staples pushing the
cart and clicking his heels while the song plays in the background. His 2 far
less then eager, kids are dragging behind him with heads hung low, really it is
too funny. What Ryley doesn’t realize is
that I’m more like the kids dragging behind…. Secretly I hate back to school
time, I love having him at home and dread the thought of being home without him
to say nothing of him going into grade EIGHT!
We have planned to be away on Holidays visiting family in BC. So we’ll be closed for Vacation From August 17th straight through till September 5th. WOW, that sure seems like a long time!!! I may have some staff in holding down the fort but that will for sure be hit and miss, tis the season.
I’ll try and check emails from time to time between ventures but for the most part we’ll be closed. We hope you and your families are spending quality time together as well.
The other downside of Ryley being in grade 8 is that it’s harder to pull him from school and get away during the year. So summer is it!
The store has been hoppin busy lately as usual, even with what was supposed to be summer hours (why don’t you ask me how that worked) LOL . Yes loads of new items have been coming in all the time.
One thing that sure warrants mentioning is the Scor Pal, now we’ve been asked to not post it on the site at this time as the manufacturer sells direct as well. However we do have a good quantity in stock and they are ready to ship at par with the US dollar we’re selling them for $39.95 CND. These are going to be a must have for all the SU gals who do a lot of scoring for workshops etc. Also for anyone who loves making all those fun projects that your demo does all the work for you with the elaborate folds and you never bother duplicating at home. You just MUST take a peek at their site and all the galleries that they have on line at www.scor-pal.com
In July with all the heat outside that I don’t do terribly well in I decided to pull my personal craft room apart and do it up the way I’ve been wanting to for a long time. It for sure is a HUGE job and it’s still all pulled apart. To be honest I was delaying writing the newsletter for my room to be done so that I could post some before and after pictures. I’ve got in most of the best storage products that I needed to get in but man o mister is there a BUNCH of organizing to do. Lots of the drawers hadn’t been sorted through or paid attention to since before we moved almost 5 years ago.
To give everyone the opportunity to take advantage of
this great line I’m offering a sale on these products from now till the end of September.
For products delivered here to the store for pick up I’m extending all
the
ATG is for sure the way to go for really nice strong adhesive! I know the guns are pricey out of the gates but the tape goes a long way and is amazing to use, my new fav for sure!
Now is the time to start on those Holiday Calendar gifts! All the 2008 dated calendars are in stock and ready to ship, Custom craft has come through again in good time for 08 to get you a head start this Christmas! Get busy! Also take a look at the Junkitz kits!
