Last Minute Treats

If you're needing last minute treats, check out the tubes from SRM Press.  Their popular tube now comes in two additional variations...the wand and the mini.  The wand is perfect for m & m's (yummy!) and the mini is actually perfect as a place card holder.  So here are some festive ideas featuring stickers from SRM, also!

The tube and the wand are $1 each  (sorry, candy and card not included) and the mini is 75 cents!

 

What's Hoppining at SRM?

SRM always has the cutest ideas!!! So I thought I'd hop on over to her blog and pick out some super cute ideas to share with you. If you like what you see and need to order any of the stickers, tubes or wands please let me know by April 13th! Wands and tubes are $1 each and can be ordered in bulk quantities for your Easter parties!

Shop Hop Parking Tips & Tricks

We're located in a shopping mall, the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center. Parking is available in our parking structure. There are great places to eat here, making it an excellent pit stop on your Shop Hop.


Depending on the day & time you arrive you will be asked to pay before leaving or upon entering the structure. During the day, your first half hour is free, your first hour is $1 and 2-4 hours is $2. After 4pm and during the weekend, parking is a flat rate of $2. However, if you ask the parking attendant to note the time on your parking ticket and you leave within a short time they will offer you a refund! Please note, I cannot validate and these are only general observations for our parking stucture.

Public restrooms are located at Center Court. I don't have a restroom at the shop. If you come during the day and you see a sign that says be back in five...you'll know where I am =).

If you're on your way to the shop and don't think you can make it on time, feel free to call me. I'll make every effort to stay open later for you!

Also, I have 3 crops planned during Shop Hop which means later shopping hours for you!

Friday, August 6th...open until Midnight!
Saturday, August 14th....open until 10pm!
Saturday, August 21st....open until 10pm!


Phew! I think that covers it! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call!

Cards, Cards, Cards, pt1

I've been on a card kick this week! I'll post one (or more) each day on the blog to show what I...and others have been up to.

Here's the first...featuring Glittered Basics Paper from Best Creations as the base and Birthday paper from Creative Imaginations cut as a wedge of cake. I used Quick Card Stickers from SRM for "happy," cupcake, and sentiment on the inside (which I took a photo of but it was blurry and the camera died....)

I also used a bit of Quite Contrary from My Mind's Eye to accent with the tag and finished with Mini Alpha stickers from My Little Shoebox and a brad from American Crafts Elements. Phew! I think that's it!

I'm filing all of my cards in a box so I always have one on hand. That's the thing. When people know you're crafty they expect something handmade everytime. Now I have some on hand!

See you Tuesday with more ideas!
