News
We have so much exciting news to report from CHA, loads of new products coming in to add to our inventory, and great new class ideas we can’t wait to share! We are receiving shipments of new products daily and will continue to receive shipments all the way through Ocober, so make sure to check back frequently to see what’s in! We even picked up several new independent companies with some unique new products you won’t want to miss!
One of the most exciting announcements from CHA was from Provocraft. They will be releasing their new Cricut software in October which will allow you to connect your Cricut Machine to your computer for a whole new level of usability! The software is extremely user friendly and gives you loads of new capabilities for use with your existing Cricut Machine (for both 6″ and 12″ machines). They will be releasing a FREE trial version of the software that will be available in the store as well so you can try it before you buy it. Watch for more info toward the end of September, beginning of October.
Don’t forget to print out our web coupon for August! Since we have so much new stuff coming in, we need to move some of our existing inventory out to make room! During each week of August, we will be offering a 10% discount on a different group of items, and you can earn an additional 5% off of your entire order if you bring a friend, and your friend will receive 5% off of their entire order too! (See coupon for discount details) So be sure to print out the coupon and bring it, and a friend, with you!
New Store Hours: In the past our regular store hours have been M-Sat. 10:00 am-7:00 pm, however throughout the summer we have had extended hours M-Sat. 10:00 am-8:00 pm. We have decided that to better accommodate our customers, when we go back to our regular scheduled store hours on Aug. 13, our new store hours will be M-Sat. 11:00 am- 8:00 pm.
Classes and Crops
Our Class Schedule for August and part of September has been posted on the calendar. Now that the kids are starting back to school, it’s the perfect time to get away and find some time for yourself, and of course to catch up on scrapbooking all of those pictures from summer vacation. In addition to our regular scrapbooking and cardmaking classes, we are starting back up with our Basic Digital Photography, Intermediate Photography for SLR’s and Photoshop Elements classes. We will also be holding some specialty photography classes for specific models of SLR cameras that will focus on the manual settings for these particular camera models.
And don’t forget about our late night crops every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 5:00 pm- 2:00 am for only $10.00 (we will provide snacks and drinks), and since it’s free to come in and crop M-F 10:00 am-5:00 pm, you can come in early at no extra charge and make an all day event out of it!
We are finalizing the details of our Scrap Pink Event to be held here in the store the weekend of Sept. 28-29. This will be an exciting fun-filled event that we hope everyone will want to be involved in, but most importantly, it will help us to raise money for a good cause! Proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research and awareness. We will have activities for everyone who wishes to be involved, whether it be a make-n-take or workshop for those who just want to drop in for a while, or a crop for those who wish to be here for the long haul and scrap to their heart’s delight! There will be lots of giveaways throughout the day, food, games, sale specials and more! We’ll have the rest of the details along with the crop fee posted within the week.
