Hope you are having some fun this summer. A great way to have even more fun is to attend our great, creative classes! We always have a great time and learn something new along the way.
We are slowly getting our CHA orders in...of course some items have not been released as yet. We hate to wait! But, something new comes in several times a week. Come in and see for yourself! Our customers found lots of ORPHAN items yesterday (single, last-one items) and saved 30% on each! Lots of items went out the front door. Now we have room for lots more! We have special item sales 2-3 times a month, keep track of our calendar for some great bargains on just certain days!
I took a group of ladies down to Pine, CO for an all day workshop with Elizabeth Craft Designs owner and designer, Els, this past Sat. Boy did we have fun! Great lunch included, as well. We created 6 different cards using her shimmer sheets, tape sheets, micro fine silk glitters, and her brand new dies, etc. What a blast! Thank you, Els! Hope to do it again soon.
We are continuing our DIE CLUB. Anyone who purchases a die for $8.00 or more, becomes a member. When you purchase at least 12 dies, $8 or more, you will win a new Art Bin magnetic die case,( regularly $16.49), with 3 magnetic pages to keep your dies in! Wow, a FREE case! You can purchase more pages, as well. Come in and join today!
OOOOOH, We finally have our new Big Shot machines to sell. We've waited so long. It's so pretty, turquois in color, and with a new larger extended multipurpose platform, making it much easier to run those elongated dies and embossing folders thru it.
Here's ARTSY"S class schedule for the last 2 weeks of August:
