The Warden & I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary yesterday. It was a good day. Nothing special, just a nice, quiet dinner and then hanging out and playing solitare on our ipads before we went to sleep. When did we become the old married couple? LOL. But, I digress. These are the moments and the times that are so special and important to journal, scrapbook and document. The little moments. The boring moments. Because when folks look back at 2020 they are going to see the BIG things, the pandemic, the unemployment, the business closures, the school closures, the vacations cancelled, but also don't forget to document, so they can see...that life also just kept happening. Quiet dinners were still cooked, laundry was still washed and left in a pile to be folded later, walks with the dog were still a regular part of the routine. Having said all of that, I am working on some fun layout samples for the store that you can come in and purchase the product for, get inspiration from and hopefully document your daily life. Even, the little things.

The first week of shopping by appointment has come and gone and it went really well. I want to thank everybody who shopped last week and those that are signing up for future shopping appointments. I have posted the rest of the available appointments for this month on the website and you can sign up easily there. (Here is the link SIGN UP TO SHOP) It is free to sign up to shop. Each appointment is one hour in length, but if you feel you will need longer, you can absolutely sign up for more than one appointment. If there is not an appointment listed at a time you would like to come, it is because that time spot is already filled and there are no longer any available appointments. I am still asking that each person wear a mask, properly covering your nose and mouth, while you are in the store and that you use the hand sanitizer provided upon entry. This is going to be the way we operate for a while.
I am still offering curbside service so if you have an order that you just need to pick up, you can definitely let me know when you are coming (need at least an hour's previous notice), and then when you arrive you can call the store and I will bring your order out to you. You may have to wait a minute or two if I am helping the appointment person inside but I will get you taken care of as quickly as possible.

New Product in the Store
Somebody made an appointment last week and came in to the store and said, "what is new?" I laughed because honestly, and you can verify with anybody that has already been in the store to shop, at least 60% of the product is new. The store has a different layout, and there is so much new product that it would take me forever to list it all.
A brand new collection going out in the morning for the first time is MANLY by Authentique. It is a gorgeous masculine collection that is just everything that I can imagine to document the men in our lives.
Here's a little sneak peek of what it looks like. We do have the open stock papers, as well as a few collection kits and paper pads in addition to the matching Spectrum cardstocks that coordinate so beautifully with it.
A collection that I put out on Friday (for those that had appointments earlier in the week, you saw the empty spot on the display for it) is PhotoPlay's We can Just Stay Home collection. We have it in collection packs and open stock, in addition to the ephemera packs and coloring sheet as well. Here is a sneak peek of this fun collection.
Again, I encourage you to book an appointment and come see everythign that we have to offer for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

It's a very laid back time of just hanging out online with others and working on whatever project you want. I hope you will consider joining us for the fun and fellowship.
Have a blessed week friends!
Cut, Glue, & Glitter on...
