Over the last week so many of you have been off work or without electricity due to the weather, or just stuck at home with nothing to do and nowhere to go, and it doesn’t appear to be letting up this week either, so we invite you to come on down to the scrapbook store and let us warm you body and mind. Settle in, get cozy, have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on us, get inspired by all of the samples and magazines throughout the store and crop til your heart’s content! And the best part….whenever school is called off due to weather, or on Saturday if it’s snowy or icy, you get to crop all day for absolutely FREE!
*PLEASE NOTE:Â During bad weather, be sure to check the calendar link above for store closing or adjusted hours of operation before coming out.
Don’t forget to print out the February web coupon before you come out for some extra sweet savings!
Also don’t forget that next week 2/9-2/14 is Whatever You Want All Week Long– bring out your Michaels or Hobby Lobby Coupon any time during this week to redeem it for 40% off any item of your choice. (Not valid on Cricut Machine, Cartridges, Silhouette, or Discount Items)
NEWS
Well, the CHA Trade Show was this past weekend, and as you know that means all kinds of new products will be hitting the shelves very soon! To make room for all of the new stuff we will be getting in over the next few weeks, we have over half of the store marked down between 20-40% off! So be sure to stop in and load up on all kinds of goodies and take advantage of these excellent deals! As we get new products from CHA into the store, we will post them here on the website, so be sure to check back frequently to see what’s in! (And be sure to stop by the store frequently between now and the end of the month for additional markdowns on current items.)
The CONSIGNMENT SALE is right around the corner, so start gathering up all those old scrapbook supplies you no longer use and bring them in to sell and make a little money to buy all those new products you are just dying to get your hands on! I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting this event, so I’m glad to say we now have it on the calendar. The Consignment Sale will be held on Saturday March 7 from 11am-8pm. If you are interested in selling items in the consignment sale, please check out the event details on the calendar for this date.
