Hey, it's Lynn here! I decided that after working on Friday night and after Kris and I put out all kinds of new stuff that I needed to inform all of you scrappers about all the new goodies in at the store!

First off, here I am with only boys in my life and I found myself making a stash of all pink and frilly Valentine papers and embellishments by Making Memories. The line is called Love Struck and has all types of embelishments ranging from buttons to bling and glitter to triple layer crepe paper rosettes. There is also a wonderful book with jounal pages and some very fun word fetti stickers. Also there is a package of 79 mixed die-cuts ranging from traditional paper to acetate, felt and chipboard for only $4.99. And as usual Making Memories style, the papers are fun, whimsy and a bit even traditional. This whole collection is priced great starting out at only 99 cents. It is going fast so you better stop in quickly to nab some up. Also my mind can't recall the name of the other Valentine line that came in also, very fun and colorful!

A bunch of Basic Grey came in, some paper packs in the with Love theme in them, but not Valentiney in any way. A few more BG card kits came in that look very fun to do also, a great thing to do on these blaw winter days.


Everyone that knows me well, knows that I love the retro and fun look, but I fell in LOVE with these 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ATC Collection paper pads by Memories In the Making. If I am correct 15 styles came in some are mixed holiday, 2 Christmas versions, men, women, fall, and some silhouette ones. I fell in love with the beautiful vintage images, the colors are great and the images are amazing. So 2 each of 20 papers, ONLY $2.99!!

I hear that a lot of new stuff is coming in so the clearance tables have been restocked frequently.

We will be opening the pavilion at 11:00 A.M. to start setting up. Just to let the new comers know that we only have folding chairs in the pavilion, so if you want to bring a pad or even bring your own chair, like some of the scrapers do to be more comfortable.

We will have cans of soda available, coffee and tea.

I don't even know if I should be writing this but...

When Ron and I built the new store and retreat center we put our all into it. We built it thinking of what we would love to see if we were to stay at a place like this. We take care of it just as well if not better than we take care of our home.

We have met soooo many wonderful people with unique stories through our adventure. Heck I've made some of the best friends I've ever had in my entire life.

I do what I do at the retreat and store because I love it to my core, it is what keeps me going! I love to meet new people who have my same interests.

But it's always those few people that like to drag you down. We have had a few incidences lately with rude guests who just can't seem to get along with others, and excessive drinking.

Here is what MY thought was on coming to our retreat:

1. I can leave my troubles at home and enjoy my craft.


2. No kids and grown ups with like interests.


3. Scrapbookers are friendly, I'll meet new friends.


4. I'll treat the others like I want to be treated and we should get along fine because we are all grown ups!


5. Think and act happy and you will be happy.

Maybe I'm crazy and live in a fantasy world but I do live by numbers 4 & 5. It is what gets me out of bed each day.

So here is the scoop...

When coming to the retreat:

Leave your crap at the door and enter with an open mind, it will be freeing!

Let others into your world by being friendly you just never know when you are about to meet a life long friend.

This is a quote that I like to live by: "Drinking makes you loud and foolish it is stupid to get drunk." I like to enjoy a glass of wine or two myself, but when you are in mixed company moderation is the key.

Treat others how you would like to be treated. It always comes back to you tenfold!

Remember we are all human and make mistakes.

I have never met a mind reader. If you would like to change the channel, use the computer etc...speak up and let the others know. If you are having issues with others or there are things going on that shouldn't be don't be afraid to call the number on the board or let whomever is working know. We can't fix anything after the weekend is over.

Basically just be nice.

I have met some people in my life that are just unable to live by these rules so I do know that they exist. If you can not follow any of these guidelines then maybe our retreat is not for you.

From this day on excessive drinking will not be allowed at the retreat. You will be asked to leave, and you will not be able to come back. You will also not be eligible for a refund.

From this day on rudeness will not be tolerated. We will give you a warning if we need to speak with you on the same matter again you will be asked to leave and you will not be able to come back. You will also not be eligible for a refund.

We have such a few people who fall into the category above, but we do not want to ruin the stays of the many, many of you who have been just a joy to have at the retreat.

Thank you to all of you who are such good guests we love when you come and return! You are why we do this day after day. To those of you who have encountered those few bad eggs, I am so sorry and by changing our policy I will try and weed out those bad eggs for you so you never have to encounter them again!

Velma aka Ella


Velma wearing her glasses because she can't see without them! Lauren and Ella are totally into Scooby Doo and have been for months. Lauren is Daphne and Ella is Velma! We have to ask Ella who she is so we know what to call her! You should see Ella's version of the Velma walk, she cracks me up!

Holiday Open House

We are working on final details for the Holiday Open House November 6-8 and November 13-15! Watch the website for details to be posted soon!

If you haven't seen the new Sizzix Impression machine stop in the store for a demo. It is super cute! We also have new embossing folders as well.

I've been busy ordering again! I ordered a ton of Whipper Snapper stamps and all the new and not so new Webster's Pages! I used to order Webster's Pages years back but it was a little before it's time in the scrapbooking industry. But now it fits in just perfect!

I got the call that the new t-shirts are ready to be picked up at Lee's Pro Shop! You're going to love these! I can't wait to go pick them up tomorrow.

I've been wearing the new Creative Escape t-shirts to work everyday. Last night Lauren asked why I keep wearing the same shirts. I explained that I was promoting the Creative Escape tour, blah, blah, blah...And she looks at me and says, you mean like a uniform? Exactly Lauren, exactly! Just another example of too much info for a 7 year old!
