I’ve been working back in the store myself for the last bit and have to say that I’ve really loved being back! Thanks to everyone who has been great to chat to on the phone and email, I’ve so missed being away as long as I have. Laura is on some well deserved time off, and I really do miss her! So for the time being you all are stuck with me J (grin)

We’ve been bringing in so many new products, keep your eye on the what’s new! Also we’re bringing in the new prima marketing milk bottles full of the mulberry flowers, usually I don’t mention new items coming but I’d like to take pre-orders for these due to the high demand. Bit of an odd way we have to bring them in, assorted bottles of 12 the price will be right, aprox $7.50 CND of course! But we already have some pre-sold. There won’t be much of a choice for colours unfortunately and we don’t have too much information on them. They are all the rage on the message boards and most gals are having to have them brought in from the US. Of course for our customers that just won’t do! Email me at sales@scrapbooking.ca with how many bottles you’ll need so that I’ve ensured that my pre-order is sufficient to cover at least the initial onslaught!


Here is a picture of what they are to be like, not all colours are shown and we don’t know that these colours will be a good representation of what will arrive hopefully by the end of July:

As well I’ll update you all a little on my health, I’m coming along nicely though my incision still isn’t all closed up. I’ve done a “nice” job getting a great hernia for myself… humm. Ok no lifting again! The good news is I don’t have to go in for another surgery to fix the hernia, the bad news is they’ll be able to fix it when they are in anyway again in ….. September! Yes back to the fun, my disease is active and fairly aggressive again (ulcerative colitis) without getting too graphic they are removing everything from the lower end and building some other things in there… Long and complicated surgery about 8-10 hours worth for good measure, tack on the Hernia and I say bring it on! I’ve already had the entire large intestine removed, so one would think that there wouldn’t be much else to be but alas medical wonders what they are!

The recovery from this one is far more substantial about 4-5 weeks in hospital post op, TPN feeding for several weeks and a really long recovery at home, the huge incision up and down will be about the same but will now also go across the top so I’ll have a lovely T road map thanks to the incisionary hernia. And the summer’s still young, lets just See what I can drum up for more business for these Dr.s! I’m sure one of their kids needs braces! Thanks to Helen for sending me this hilarious list that I’ve been working on in my spare time. I’ve already got it printed off on cardstock in a nice big font!

EXERCISES TO PREPARE FOR YOUR HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE

1. Lay nude on the front lawn and ask the weed man to probe
you with his applicator.

2. Drink a quart of Sherwin-Williams Eggshell One-Coat
Coverage Interior Flat White #2. Then have your child stuff
his slinky down your throat.

3. Put a real estate agent's 'Open House' sign on your
front yard and lie on your bed dressed in a paper napkin
with straws stuck up your nose.

4. Put your hand down the garbage disposal while practicing
your smile and repeating: "mild discomfort."

5. Set your alarm to go off every ten minutes from ten PM
to seven AM, at which times you will alternately puncture
your wrist with a Craftsman (squarehead) screwdriver and
stab yourself with a knitting needle.

6. Remove all actual food from the house.

7. With several strands of Christmas lights strung from a
coat tree and onto yourself, walk slowly up and down the
hall.

8. Urinate into an empty lipstick tube.

Well we’re off to the lake this morning so I’d better get this out soon or Rob will choke me J give me an extra day or so to get your orders out due to the sale. Of course we’re closed today, the weekend and maybe Monday so please be patient.


Thanks to everyone for your fantastic support, I’m not kidding when I say that we’ve got the BEST customers who are like friends. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for my health you are all amazing! I hope you all take tonnes of pictures this summer and get to having some HUGE fun. Enjoy the kids that are out of school now these next 2 months fly by!

All our best
