The first half of 2020 is already gone and I don't know if that is a
good thing or a bad thing? I mean, let's face it, it has been a rough 6
months in this crazy world for everybody in some state or form. We
have all had to be a bit more flexible than we are used to and that has
turned in to a positive thing, I feel. It's good to get out of the old
habits sometimes and do something a bit different, even if it feels odd.
For
instance the shopping by appointment here in the store. The higher the
numbers skyrocket, the more I am convinced that this is what a good
portion of our retail world is going to look like for at least the rest
of the summer. So, as much as some may not like it, it is for the
safety of everybody that I am going to say that the rest of July and
August is going to be by appointment only. Appointments can be made on
our website and/or by emailing us. I know some of you have just shown
up and been disappointed because our appointment slots are already full
and we have no openings and I am truly sorry but safety is the #1
priority throughout all of this. Having said that....
I was
supposed to go to a Retail Success Summit trip (think bootcamp for
retail owners) in Michigan July 12 through the 16th that I had won last
year at Market. (I mean who wouldn't want to go on a free trip to get
better at what they do for a living on somebody else's dime to a state
and part of the coun
try
you had never visited?)...ANYWAY, since the Pandemic hit, they have
moved it online to a virtual event, so my day time hours will be used
for that during that week, so I thought "why not offer evening hours a
few nights that week?" Just click the link and you can sign up for one
of these times or you can go to our website and find available
appointment times on the Calendar of Events.

Other fun things going at the store currently include:
Classes
are remaining virtual throughout the rest of the year and we still have
some fun ones left in July (the August ones will be published next
week).
We have the
Fancy Four Layouts Class on July 21 from 6:30 to 8:30
In this class we will create 4 single page layouts (they can easily
be put together to make 2 double page layouts) but these layouts will be
worthy of framing (and we do carry 12x12 frames at the store for such
an instance). Each layout will have layers and embellishments and lots
of room for additional items but we are going to make them as almost
little pieces of art. The picture is just a sneak peek sampling of one
of the layouts. You can sign up here:
Fancy Four Layouts
Julie Nutting Card Class July 26 2pm to 4:30 We
are going to create 4 different Julie Nutting cards in this class. You
can then either use them on your scrapbook pages or to send or
collect. Pictures will be posted closer to the event. These cards will
be over the top extravagant with lots of oohs and aahs to them.
