Holiday Extravaganza Fun!

Last week we held our 1st annual Holiday Extravaganz here at the shop! It was a HUGE success!

I have heard nothing but positive feedback from the event! We definately went over our time limit on projects, but when you are having as much fun as we were creating, it all worked out!

Here are some picutures from the fun event! Enjoy!

We also enjoyed the fun with Michelle Granger. A Quick Quotes teacher! Michelle lives here in Orlando Florida, but has traveled with QQ all around the world teaching for them at huge conventions, and on the road events! We were very excited to welcome Michelle back into our store for the second time to teach an awesome 18x18 Family Canvas, just in time for holiday gift giving! Thanks Michelle for coming in and teaching for us, and signing our creative wall! We can't wait to have you back again!

Here are a few other photos of our Holiday Extravaganza peeps, working away on their canvas'!

Thanks to all the fun ladies that joined our Holiday Extravaganza this year! It was a phenomenal day, and from Scrapbooks Etc to Creativity Botuique, we want to let you all know that we had a great time, and can't wait to start planning the next event!

Thank you!

Catching Up!

Wow,

Time flies when your having fun, and that we have had!

I don't think I have had time to update the blog since all the fun began! I have some fun pictures to share with you of our visit and classes that we had with Lance Anderson of Rusty Pickle!

Lance was an awesome teacher with tons of fun techniques! We had alot of fun in our small private setting classes, which were perfect because of the detailed technique in the classes! Thanks Lance for visiting our shop, and hanging with us!

These are some of the finished projects that I have here in the shop! Yes, if you missed out on the fun, it's ok! We do have just a few extra kits!

After the fun with the album creating, Lance did some AWESOME artwork on our wall! I was so excited to see him create in action!

Lance is very good friends with Jen Starr who we had a few months back, so Lance was so funny when he decided to create! He wanted to make sure his "artwork" stood out compared to Jen's! So here are the fun pictures he took with our wall just for Jen!

Jen I think the idea behind this is that your artwork is "little" compared to his!

But, Don't worry Jen, Your work is just as special to me as his is! LOL.

love you both!

Then the famous picture of us together was taken, and it was a little frightening to say the least.......LOL

Thanks Lance for the fun day! We can't wait to have you back! And thank you to all the customers who supported us and Lance by taking his awesome classes! It was an awesome day!

Projects come to life!

As, some of you know we were at a tradeshow in Orlando a few weeks ago, and boy did we have fun! We left on a Thursday evening, and traveled to Orlando, stopping along the way for dinner....We then woke up bright and early on Friday morning to start classes. We learned So much. I took class from Canvas Corp, My Little Yellow Bicycle, and Creative Imaginations. We had so much fun learning, and taking classes from some of the best educators in the business!



This first picture is of a banner that was made by the girls at Canvas Corp. They have a great new paper line that is on the way, and it takes ink really well, and has a great price point!

The second picture is my gorgeous mom in our Prima class, Friday evening. We completed a 4x6 Canvas album using some of the new paints by Ranger that are also on their way. The albums turned out awesome, are in the shop for you to take a look at! This class was great, and so was the instructor.

I will have to say my most exciting class was with Scrapbooking King TIM HOLTZ. Below is a picture of me and him.......I can tell you this. Tim is nothing like I ever would have imagined. He has a great personality, and is so down to earth. We had so much fun placing our order with him....Needless to say 6 vagabonds later, and every die he makes later, we are excited about all the Ranger Products coming into the shop! We are also expecting the Stampers Anonymous stamps in very soon to! Tim has alot of fun stuff coming up on his blog that he was telling us about, so be prepared, and make sure to stop in the shop to pick up all the fun supplies you will need to make those famous 12 tags of Christmas!



I also took a class from Outlines. A stamp company. These stamps are really cool! They were made to layer.....They also have ornament toppers, Peek a Boo Style stamps, and Jewelry! We will be having some classes coming up in the next month so be sure to check them out!

I will be back again with some more pictures of inspiration of all our fun projects! Stop in and check them out to!

We have lots of new arrivals that have appeared at the shop as well! If you haven't stopped in the past few weeks, you are missing out on the fun new arrivals, and classes!

I hope you are having a great week!

Vacation Re-Cap!

So as most of you know, I was away for about a week and a half, and mom did a pretty good job holding down the fort. lol.

We went to visit my in-laws in MO. The boys always have a great time because Hayden's papa always takes him to go hunting, and boy does he LOVE that!

Here are a few photos of the hunting they did....Needless to say, they got one squirrel and one racoon. Hayden was SO excited!




He was so cute. Every time I asked him to take his picture with his little gun he always held it up in front of his eyes.





We did some fishing as well! Isn't this a beautiful view? I love going to visit. If you look close you can see the tint of the leaves starting to change! Fall was definitely in the air!!

The boys always have a great time feeding the ducks to!






So, Our vacation to Missouri was great! I will post again tomorrow about the Collins Rep Group Convention that we just finished up this past weekend as well. Whew......I'm almost caught up!

xoxo,
Coleen

Jen Starr Re-Cap!

We so enjoyed having Jen Starr here at our shop a few weeks ago!

I thought I would take the time to share with all of you who missed the class just exactly all the fun you missed out on!

The first class that we did was a technique class using glimmer mist, Glaze, and Glam on all different types of surfaces. wood, metal, paper, and we even learned a photo transfer technique!

This photo here is of Jen showing how to paint using the glam and glaze on metal!




This is a photo of the ladies getting ready to get their fingers inky!



And the fun begins!


It's Art!



Yea! Jen, me and mom! Thanks Jen for coming down and playing with us! We had a blast, and I know you did to! So, glad you were able to share all your inky goodness with us!

Can't wait to see you again soon! And, thanks for signing our wall!

For those of you who missed out on the fun of this class. Don't worry, more fun and exciting things are to come!

Don't forget to sign up for the Debbie Gunnion Stamping Designer who will be here on October 16th! Space is limited and filling! Samples are now in the shop, and they are fun!

I hope you all have a great day!

Life is a whirlwind!

I feel like it has been years since my last blog post!

I have been so busy! I have so much to share I don't know where to start! I shared with you the start of Hayden and school in my last blog post, and SO much has happened since then!

We have had Jen Starr in the shop since then, and I was away on vacation for the last week and a half, and then I turned around and came home for ONE night in my own bed, and then I was off again for a long weekend of fun in Orlando with my mom, and a sister store we work with for the Tim Collins Trade Show. I have to say the trade show was absolutely amazing, and we have brought back SO many ideas to share with all of you! We had a great time networking with some really great manufactures, and designers at this show!

I actually took my very first class with Tim Holtz which by the way was absolutely amazing, I never dreamed that this man would be so down to earth, he is nothing like I had imagined! I will definately be taking more of his classes in the future! We have lots of fun things in store using Ranger, and the Tim Holtz Products in the very near future! I am so excited to share! I will be posting pictures of all the fun projects that we have returned with from our tradeshow, and will be opening doors for many of you to go ahead and get started with gift giving ideas, cards, and lots of mini projects including home decor! Stay tuned for all the fun samples and ideas with these!

On the other hand, I am super excited to share some fun photos of our awesome Jen Starr event that we had about 2 weeks ago! I have had and heard nothing but fun and awesome feedback from the event! We will definately look into having Jen back again soon, possibly using all the fun new Ranger products that are on the way! Yes, for those of you who may have wondered we will be getting the Vagabond in stores BEFORE Christmas! We have a total of 6 machines coming, yes count them SIX. We will sell out of these quickly. After speaking with Tim one on one about these machines, and taking some feedback of his, and some of his great ideas with this machine, we will be selling these machines at an unbelievable price that you won't want to miss, I can promise you this. WE will have our machines in stock BEFORE Christmas, and I was guranteed that you WON'T see these machines in the big box chain stores till at least the middle of next year, which is ok, because they won't be able to touch or compare to the low price we will be selling these machines for! So, if you are interested in one of these fun electronic machines that cut chipboard, cardstock, acrylic, and metal, and SO much more! Stop in and get yours pre-ordered if you are interested!

And last but not least......I walked in this a.m. and PAGE MAPS 2 was here! Yes, we have this idea book in stock NOW. If you have not receieved the first one then you definately NEED this one. I love this idea book, and get such great ideas out of it! It is a must have idea book!

This is what the cover of the new addition looks like! Stop in and get yours before they are gone!

I promise to post again really soon about all the fun events we have had in the store and have attended over the past few weeks!

My Little School Boy.

This is a photo of Hayden's first day of school is one of my favorites. We were in such a hurry to get to school, that I had picked up a pair of clothes to put on Clayton before we walked "big" brother into school, and wouldn't you know that I walked out and forgot to grab them. Yes, this was just the start of my busy day!
I asked Hayden to go stand in front of this tree so I could get a picture of him, and next thing I know, Clayton was wiggling his way into the picture saying "cheese" "cheese". He was so cute!

Drop off for Hayden's first day went well. No tears for Hayden or mommy! I think having the boys home with a sitter all summer really did him well. It was a breeze all week! We are on vacation next week, so we will see how he does when we come back from visiting grammy, and papa.



This picture is of the little school boy before we left for school in front of our house. He was such a ham. I don't think he has been more excited than he was this day!
I do have to say as a mom, I am in love with this school already, even though it has only been 3 days. I love it. He is doing great, and learning alot to! LOVE IT!

On another note, away from my family. We are excited about Jen Starr's arrival tomorrow. We are full to the max for the two classes, and are expecting to have a great time! We are looking forward to it!

We are also expecting BO BUNNY on Monday. We will be open, BUT we will open late. Mom has to take me to the airport. She should be here by NOON. We need to be patient ladies and let her get it imputed into the computer so, please be patient, and take it easy on her! Monday is her birthday so be kind!!!!

Stop in on Monday and receive 50% off ONE item when you wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

xoxo,

New Arrivals!

Wow, It's really Friday already? This week has flown right by. Can you believe we are at the end of August already? Schools back in, and I'm sure you have been running like crazy with your munchkins! Hayden goes to Pre-K3 on Sept 7th, and I can hardly wait, and either can he! He just doesn't understand why he can't go now. I keep telling him that his teacher is getting his classroom ready, and he still doesn't understand why it is taking her SO long! Nevertheless, I am glad he is excited!

As for the shop we have been busy all week, and I am so sorry I haven't had time to blog. I have been busy entering product, and stocking it on the shelves!

In one of my past post you can see alot of new product that we have already received.

This week we have received:

Loyalty Counts!

I have been super busy around here marking product down, and entering new CHA arrivals into the computer here at the shop! Yes, everyday is like Christmas around here! We have a least one box to open everyday! Stop in and check out the new arrivals and some of the old stuff that keeps getting marked down!

So are you wondering what the title for this blog post means? I hope so! I hope I have your full attention! Many of you have been wanting to renew your customer loyalty programs, since they are beginning to expire, and I have kept you from doing so, because I have been thinking of a better way to serve you! So, I had a very good customer in here a few weeks back, and she and I were discussing how this program could benefit her more, and she threw a few ideas out to me, and I have thought about them to see if it would in fact be beneficial, and I think I have came up with a solution! So this is what I have done. I pulled up my top 50 customers, who have spent money in here since the beginning of the year, January.

So this is how our loyalty program will work from here on out. There will be four brackets of savings, and it is all determined on your loyalty to us, and how much you spend with us.....Costco has a similar program allowing money back at the end of the fiscal year. So here it goes, this is how it works.

Discount Chart:
The savings will start once you have spent $300.00 within the store each year.

Bronze: $300.00 up to $599.99 save 5% on all products
Silver: $600.00 up to $999.99 save 10% on all products
Gold: $1000.00 up to $1999.99 save 20% on all products
Loyal: $2000.00 and over. save 25% on all products

If you frequent our shop, and spend with us frequently then your savings will continue to grow. Our computer system takes care of this for us. We will pull a report each month, and only once a month, so your savings can be knocked up a percentage each month depending on your sales. The fun thing with this program is that you will be able to use these discounts with all products, classes, and monthly crops.

***The only thing that these discounts will not apply to is garage sales, guest designers/teachers that we may bring in, and 3 day weekend crop fees. We will also not accept the discount with gift certificate purchases of gift certificates.*** Page of the month students will not be able to use the discount on those specific class kits.

If you are a Copic Club member you will get the higher discount, not both.
example: Copic club members receive a 10% discount, but if you are a loyalty customer who receive as 20% discount you will receive the 20% discount over the 10% discount.

This program is brought to you all without a "membership fee". It is all determined on your monthly spending with us.

We will offer this program through the end of the year as a trial run. If it is a success we will continue this program starting January 1st, and we will start fresh with the year.

So with all of this being said this brings a program to many of you, that are well able to start receiving discounts. We will go ahead and apply your discounts to any future purchases.

I hope you are all as excited as I am!

Coleen
