A Place in Time Happenings September 2, 2011



Good Morning All,

I have to come up with a better salutation - "good morning all" doesn't sound very creative. Any ideas that you are willing to share??

First up today - Fran Kawakami brought in the samples of her next class and I need to share it with you. For this class, Fran has designed a fantastic "Coin Envelope Template" that can be folded and used in a multiple of ways. Mini notes, money cards, mini album, greeting cards, etc. I like the one with the girl wearing the obi and everyone taking the class will have a ton of fun with all of the possibilities. The class is on Thursday the 8th of September at 6:30-8:30pm. The cost is $20.00. Please bring the following items to the class: paper trimmer, scissors, pencil, ruler, tape & glue adhesive, black ink pad, dark brown ink pad, sponge for distressing, black ink pen. glassy accents, and a crop-a-dile. If you don't have the crop-a-dile you can borrow mine. Check out the photos below.














The Sizzix order came in the store yesterday and by the end of the day I was able to get everything entered, tagged, and on the floor. Wow, the Eclips machines are sure selling quickly. Ok! For the new product we have diecuts and the ever popular embossing folders from Tim Holtz that would be just great for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Do you remember the "Cracked Glass" embossing folder from Tim - you may not because it lasted about a day and a half before it sold out. I think the reason it sold so quickly is that everyone thought it looked like coral - and it really does. We have it back in the store in case you would like one.

A new line of product that Priscilla has brought in from Sizzix are thin diecuts that are offered in a variety of basic shapes: Circles, Squares, Ovals, Hearts, and Tickets. Except for the Tickets, they come in both a straight line and a scalloped edge. There are 8 diecuts to a package and they are concentric for layering. This line from Sizzix is reminiscent of the old nestabilities, but different in size - starting with 4 1/4" and working down to 1 1/4". I think you will find these to give you greater flexibility in your scrapbooking and card making.

That's about all for now - I have to get ready to open. Just a few reminders: Priscilla's Make and Take is this Sunday (2-5pm), Debbie's "Flowers of Fancy" is this Monday (Labor Day 12:00-2:00pm), and our 30% "Wall Sale" is on from Saturday through Monday.

See you tomorrow....

Bill
