Wow!!! What a great Thanksgiving. This year we were invited to share the meal and a fun evening with some very good friends. For the first time in my memory, Priscilla wasn't up until past midnight "prepping" for the following day. We enjoyed a very delicious feast prepared with loving hands and we will be enjoying the left overs for a couple of days. I really like my turkey sandwiches. But most of all I am really thankful for good friends and the many blessing that are sent my way. My major blessing is to have Priscilla as a wife and best friend. Life is good.
Now...... New arrivals found their way to our store on Wednesday and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Boxes from Sizzix were opened and the shelves have been restocked with the popular Eclips and Big Shot Machines. Those of you that pre-ordered the machines can come in and pick them up. Priscilla has anticipated that their demand will continue and has already placed another order.
Since we are on the subject of the Eclips, I can't wait to tell you Sizzix has launched it's highly anticipated eCAL software. You may be familiar with the consumer friendly Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) software that has been so popular with electronic cutting users. The eCAL software empowers the Eclips users to plug in their Eclips Machine to their PC or Mac. I am amazed at what the Eclips will be able to accomplish. Among other things, you will be able to create and modify your own designs, use any True Type or Open Type font, weld multiple shapes and letters into one, cut-score-draw unique shapes, and so much more. And the best thing to me is you will be using an electronic tool that cuts cleanly and is user friendly. The learning curve should be easy.
Now for the best news, for a limited time you can purchase the eCAL software at a special introductory price of $29.99. We are taking pre-orders now and will continue to do so until Dec. 24th. This will allow us the time to place last minute orders. As of January 1st, the eCAL's introductory price ends and the price will become $79.99. Also available to you will be the ability to pre-order the Eclips with the eCAL software already loaded onto the machine.
Lastly for tonight, you will be happy to know that we received more of the super popular embossing folders from Sizzix. Many of our customers requested that we re-order two of the designs that are perfect for the Christmas season. The "Snowflakes and Branches Set" and the "Winter Botanical's Set" are now available. Joining them are new embossing folders (1) "Peacocks & Leaves Set", (2) Blossom, Circles, Leaves, & Diamonds Set", (3) Daisy & Paisley Set", and (4) Birds & Blooms Set". All of the above sets are designed for an A2 card size. The "Winter Botanicals Set" includes three small embossing folders that would be perfect for tags or smaller scaled cards. You will have fun combining the embossed images with the liquid pearls.
That is all for tonight. The dinner bell is calling me. Don't forget - we have our annual sale this weekend. Check out the previous blog for the special discounts and savings.
Priscilla is working on her Stencil Techniques Class and I am itching to snap some photos of her class samples. We will see how it goes this weekend.....
See you tomorrow.....
