Melting

Finally getting nice here. So nice, in fact, that Derek came home early from work! So just a quick post today.


I'm sooo happy I got some scrapping done this weekend. I was so worried I wouldn't get my April kit layouts done before we left. But I did. 3 layouts, one card, and then this layout "just for fun". I'm really enjoying exploring creative paper combinations... patterns and colors I normally wouldn't put together.


This coming week:

- new Scenic Route has arrived. It's still in boxes, and not all of it's here, but it's a start. (Note: Some of the Laurel line will be featured in an upcoming kit, so you won't see all of it out until then).
- new acrylic stamps from Fiskars. Just a simple alphabet, but so nice. Upper, lower and numbers in one package!
- restock of the American Crafts albums (some)
- and more idea books, Tinkering Ink, Basic Grey Precision Tool set and more.

I'll be putting these out throughout the week.


And remember, the online store will be closed on Friday for a couple weeks.

Have a good weekend everyone!

The white stuff

Snow. Lots of it. Reading Jamie Waters' blog today. Spending a Monday on the beach. Mmmm.... nope. Snow. Cold. White. Heavy snow.

The kids love it though. They beg Derek everyday to take them on the snowmobile. He only has Sundays off, so if the weather's nice, that's what we do.

This boy LOVES a job. Make him do something. Anything. He loves having a goal!

Love this picture. All the little freckles. Got this one when I opened the kitchen window and he tried to climb inside.

(I'm so lazy with getting photos off my camera. I so badly would like to sit down everyday and get them on the computer, edited and posted. But that doesn't happen. So I'm amazed these made it.)

On the store-front:

Spending lots of time there lately. Getting everything in order. Pricing. Packing orders. Some days it's all just too much! I'm so glad there's no school tomorrow and I can spend the day at home!

New...

- new 8.5x11 cardstock colors

- more Making Memories Anthology embellishments

- lots of new goodies added to the embellishment table

I'm expecting some more new stuff on Monday or Tuesday next week. Stay tuned for that.

The online store will be closed from March 13th till April 3rd. We're taking a well-deserved holiday. So, if you have an order to go through, make sure you get it in by this weekend.

As always, the MSS Girls can help you with most everything on the site. I'm hoping to have cooperative internet access while we're gone so I'm not totally out of the loop. Anyway... more details next week.

Let it snow... Count your Lucky Stars!

It's that time... time for a new kit!


And here it is...

Lucky Stars - March 07 Red Star Monthly Kit
My favorite contribution...

And with this kit we're starting a subscription! Woohoo! Don't miss out! (And I'm working on the summer kits as we speak!)

And other new things for the 1st...

My turn for the Challenge: "I challenge you to use a large (min. 1" around) patterned paper mat on your page."

You can play along here.

So... that's it for Shoppe stuff today.
In other news... we're snowed in today. School's cancelled. Which on any other day would be fabulous! But on a day when the new kits are supposed to go out... not so great!

So we'll stay home today. Playing. Coloring. I'll work a bit (ordering for upcoming kits, entering online stuff, etc.) and pick up a hundred toys!

Smile! Have a great day!
