More Goodies & Mega Deals!

So after 8 days, the missing rack for Laundry Line arrived. Honestly I could have kissed the fed ex man. I started screaming and clapping when I saw him come up the escalator. Pia and Bev thought I had lost my mind. And as Pia noted, apparently the box was held up by some preschoolers who used it as a rather large coloring book. I couldn't resist a photo - always the scrapbooker


So here's the collection - in its rack! It's gorgeous. And where else are you going to get glittered paper for only a buck! The pockets are stuffed full with die cuts, chipboard, rub ons stamps, trim, crochet flower and other cool things.

One reason I love My Mind's Eye products is they make it so easy. Each column of their collection in a color family. Each pocket is a theme. Whether you choose your goodies from on pocket or from the whole column, everything will coordinate beautifully!!!


Also in are two collection from Reminise for the Fall - Scare Tactics and Enchanted Autumn. Scare tactics (on the left) is a truly spooky line that will have your boys and gouls howling! Enchanted Autumn on the right will entice you with its unique hologram finish. Not quite glittery, but definitely lots of shine and lots of inspiration for the fall!




Forget the dollar section - try the $.25 section! Here's your chance to scoop up classic Reminisce for only $.25 for paper, $.50 for stickers & $.75 for epoxys and rub ons. Plus, they're all products that are new to my store. So hurry in - these are sure to go fast.



And lastly, Christmas & Winter things have begun to arrive. I tried to stop them from shipping until after Halloween, but there have been a number for shipping/vendor gaffs this month & this is the latest. So despite my best efforts to keep the holidays from rushing in...the collections have started to arrive.

Christmas Ribbon from American Crafts - I'm now officially swimming in ribbon!!!



Be Merry from My Mind's Eye. This is the collection pack, but there's a full selection of open stock paper, die cuts and glittered goodies!



That's all for now!

3000 Reasons to Celebrate



So Laundry Line is here! But the display rack is not =(. So as you can see its all over the cropping tables. But that hasn't stopped people from scooping up My Mind's Eye's hottest line yet! You have to see it to really appreciate it. Besides being tastfully glittered, they've expanded their line to include rub ons, chipboard, acrylic stamps & ink. Its lovely.

And while I was putting all of this in the computer, I entered the store's 3000th item! It was a tag that said Celebrate - how cool is that! I've got lots of reasons to celebrate. Our inventory has doubled in size since opening 6 months ago. 6 months - can you believe it? Its been such a wild and fun ride. Thanks for all of your awesome support & friendship.


Also, I've promised pictures of our other new goodies & here they are....


New Papers from Kaisercraft.



New Acrylic Droplets from Kaisercraft.



New Ribbons - Tulle from Bazzill and luxury ribbons from May Arts!


New Glimmer Mist Limited Edition Winter Colors.

Also, due in this week, Halloween prints, new Thickers, Kaisercraft paper reorders, Basic Grey embellishment for the Ambrosia & Off Beat collections...and hopefully the MME display rack =). One can only hope!

Thankfulness & Courage

Our lives are full of challenges and joys, heart aches and blessings. The line "Thankful" by Melissa Francis was inspired by her own journey with stage 3 Breast Cancer.



You can read more about her story at http://melissafrances.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/03/melissas-story.html
and from her recent relapse
http://melissafrances.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/06/index.html



I met Melissa in August and was inspired by the way she overcame her trial with sheer grit, determination, and dare I say it, scrappyness. She handles life with a healthy dose of humor, is humbled by her experiences and has a deep appreciation for every moment, all the while not sweating the small stuff.



Our challenges are not always the same, but the courage, grace and thankfulness that we have as we go through them are our common bond.



Here's a link to some of the the the project samples created from the Thankful line, including "Altered" Bras. Keep an eye out for more info on our own Altered Bra contest.

A portion of the proceeds from the Thankful line benefit breastcancer.org



Here's a peek of it in our shop.
