Flower Soft and Vintage Wallpaper!

For all of you who have been waiting for the Flower Soft to arrive in the store - It came in today!! We have it in 11 colors with the glue, wire and even coordinating stamps. The colors are beautiful - sure to add that extra something to your cards and gifts.

Also, on my crafting adventure last week, I ended up in a basement of a lovely lady who is one of the foremost collectors of vintage wallpaper. Her collection was amazing and we were completely overwhelmed. Needless to say I bought a ton, and we are now making some great gifts using the paper. Dana and I have made trays, frames and plaques, among other things. You can purchase these items, or we can make up a kit, so you can make it yourself. Just come on in and let us know.

The rain has stopped in Antioch - so here's to a somewhat sunny day!

Monday Must Have October 19th!

Good Morning:

The countdown to Creating Keepsakes University has begun! We leave on Thursday morning and we will try to post photos of our adventure in Minnesota.

At this time, we would just like to say that our customers/friends are fabulous!!!! So many of you came by this weekend to get a glimpse at our booth and wish us well. You are the reason this job is so much fun. We get to interact with some wonderful ladies each and every day! So, this is just a great big THANK YOU, to our great customers & friends!

The Monday Must-Have is a good one.....Take 25% off all of the American Crafts Halloween line. It is a really cute one. So grab this adorable Halloween paper that is perfect for invites, pages, favors and such.

Have a wonderful week!

Today is the day!

Be sure to stop in this weekend to catch a glimpse of our booth that we are taking to CKU in St. Paul next weekend. It is loaded with mini books, page kits and great home decor pieces that could be fabulous gifts. We want our loyal customers to have the first opportunity at picking up these exclusive kits. For the past couple months we have been scowering all the flea markets and antique fairs to find just the right do-dad. There are a limited number of kits available this weekend but don't fret you can pre-order any time before the show. As soon as we return Jill and I will be busy little elves AGAIN!!

Note: January calendar kits are now available.

Monday Must Have!

I thought since we have been crazy busy during the week I would post the Monday Must Have a day early. This week all punches are 25% off!! Yes, that includes Martha Stewart punches also.

Starting tomorrow I will be posting sneak peeks of kits that we will be taking to St. Paul. This last week I finally got to sit down and play with canvas and vinyl. Be sure to stop in and check it out. Not only did I create wall art with photos and vinyl but canvas art using paper and Tim Holtz do-dads. It was quick, easy and with the canvas already marked at 30% off everyday it was very reasonable.

For those of you that have been asking for the January calendar kit it will be available this week. We do have a waiting list so be sure to give us a call at 847-395-3355 to reserve yours today!

New Design Team Member

We are happy to announce a new Design Team Member - Jill Eisenhauer. We are excited to show you some great kits featuring Jill's work. Welcome aboard, Jill.

We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who submitted their work for the Design Team this month. The pages and cards we saw were beautiful. You are all very talented.

We will have a new Design Team Call after the holidays, and we would be honored if any of you would consider sharing your work.

October Afternoon has arrived!!!

The Fed Ex truck brought us 2 boxes yesterday and we are so excited that October Afternoon's "Farm Fresh" and "Report Card" have arrived.

(Hint that maybe these will be kits????)

There are still a few openings left in our Late Nite Crop this Friday from 5-11p.m.

Monday Must Have!!

This weeks Monday Must Have is 50% off all rub-ons!! Yes, that means American Crafts, Hambly, Scenic Route and more.

Don't forget that Friday, October 16th is your day to come in and pre-order all the goodies. We will have everything on display, goodies to snack on and a big THANK YOU for being our loyal customers!

Dana & Jill

We are getting kits ready to take up to Creating Keepsakes Convention in St. Paul, MN on October 23rd. We are doing our very first booth with them. It is exciting, yet a ton of work. We are also trying to make Calendar Kits as fast as we are selling them. They are so cute, that they are flying out the door.
