Things have been a snowstorm of activity here at the store with Christmas fast approaching, and I’m sorry to say I have been neglecting the newsletter during December! (Thanks to Susie for shooting out a quick email to everyone last week about our current sale specials!)Â Well I guess it’s better late than never, so here’s what we have going on for the rest of the month and early January.
NEWS
Please be aware of our upcoming holiday hours:
Christmas Eve (Wed. 12/24)- 11am-6pm
Christmas Day (Thurs. 12/25)- closed

New Year’s Day (Thurs. 1/1)- 11am-11pm
(all other days we will be open during our regularly scheduled times of Mon.-Sat. 11am-8pm, Closed Sundays)
As the end of the year approaches, for us that means INVENTORY. And let’s face it, when it comes to doing inventory, I prefer to be lazy- I really don’t want to spend weeks counting stuff. So for you that means STOREWIDE SALES and great savings on last minute Christmas gifts!
From now through Christmas Eve (Wed. 12/24):
* Regular priced items are 20% off (excludes Cricut Cartridges and Silhouette)
* Sticker Roll Stickers are 80% off
* Discount items are an additional 10% off (excludes Cricut Expression and Sticker Roll Stickers)
* In stock Cricut Expression Machines w/Plantin Schoolbook & Home Decor Cartridges- $299.99 (while supplies last)
* In stock Silhouette Electronic Diecut Machines- $149.99 (while supplies last)
* For every $100.00 you spend, receive a $20.00 off gift voucher toward a future   qualifying purchase
* For every $20.00 you spend each time you shop between now and the end of the year, your name will go into the drawing to win our Scrapbook Gift Basket (a $60.00 value)
* Super cool Jewelry Make-N-Take throughout the rest of the month- come in and create a necklace with the Tim Holtz Idea-ology line of hardware for only $1.25 or $2.50 depending on the style you choose (3 styles to choose from). These necklaces take less than 5 minutes to create, and similar necklaces are selling for between $60.00-$80.00 at local boutiques! These make great stocking stuffers, or perfect gifts for all of your friends. (And I can tell you that teenagers absolutely love these necklaces!) And at this price, you could even afford to splurge and make one or all three for yourself!
You’ll also want to be sure and join us for our Day After Christmas Sales Event, with select items marked down as much as 40% off throughout the day. We will also be offering a free all day crop the day after Christmas 12/26 and on Saturday 12/27, so come on in and bring some friends and enjoy a day or two of scrapbooking fun and take advantage of our great deals while you’re here!
Or, join us on New Year’s Day from 11am-11pm for our all day crop. What better way to start the year off right than to get a jump start on scrapbooking your memories from years past and the year to come. For only $20.00, you can spend a full 12 hours of uninterrupted cropping and we’ll supply the drinks, snacks and even a yummy lunch so that you don’t even have to go out for food!
