Happy New Year

JANUARY CLASS SCHEDULE

Let the fun and games begin again! Lisa has outdone herself yet another time. You're just going to love this new set of classes.

VALENTINE INCHIES - Jan 6, 8 & 9th: This class features a set of cards featuring the "inchie" craze. You will receive a set of clear stamps with this class.

GRUNGEBOARD CREATIONS - Jan 13, 15 & 16th: Have you wondered what else you can do with grungeboard? Take this class and find out. You will need a pair of good scissors such as the Tim Holtz by Tonic.

DEMO DAY - Saturday January 17th: All Day and FREE. Make-It-Take-It is back!

VALENTINE VARIETY: Jan 20, 22 & 23rd: As the title suggests, this is a variety class. Different styles, different techniques. A good class for learning or re-learning techniques you haven't used in a while.

Remember always to bring your Basic Class Kits with you to classes. A Basic Class Kit is a "traveling" tote, bucket, or caddy filled with basic paper crafting tools. If you need a list of must haves, call and we'll mail, email, or tell you what you should have. What you don't have lying around the house, we have available for purchase.

HOLIDAY VACATION

Every year at this time we take a short vacation. We are currently closed until Jan 6th. If you have questions, call and leave a message. I'll be checking messages from time to time and either Lisa or I will call you back as quickly as possible.

Have a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Until next post.......Happy Stampin'!

Seasons Greetings

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As Christian believers Lisa and I reflect on the meaning of the birth of our Saviour regularly. Many days I find I don't reflect the unconditional perfect love of God, but I know what it is. As John 3:16 says "God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son"....which continues in 17 to say "to save the world through Him." (NIV) As the world debates whether there is life after death, I rest, knowing that God so loved me and you so much that He gave the greatest Gift - life for eternity. I can't do what He has done for us, I can only rejoice that He did it and praise Him for it. It is my Christmas wish that you will feel and know the true love of our God and our Saviour, Jesus, The Christ. And that in that knowledge will you find true joy and peace. If you don't know Jesus, and therefore don't know God, I pray you will see the true love of God, His Christ, our Peace in the joy of this Christmas season.

HERO ARTS PREVIEW PARTY
For those of you who are patiently waiting, the party is about to begin. As mentioned previously, we have set aside this Saturday for a very special unveiling of the 2009 Hero Arts Catalog and products. Party starts at 10 am and will continue through 5 pm. We purchased 3 different "Preview Packs" so we will have a good variety of the new stamps and products in stock, ready and waiting to go home with you. In keeping with our 2 day After-Christmas sale, all rubber stamp products will be 20% OFF and all PrePaid Hero Orders will be 20% OFF as well. We think we have plenty of catalogs to last the day, so don't get your knickers in a twist if you can't be here at 10 o'clock sharp. SPECIAL NOTE: There will be NO product or catalog available before Saturday. We cannot hold catalogs or merchandise.

Lisa's class schedule will be available at the Saturday Preview Party. Although I haven't had a peek at what she has planned.......it's always packed with fabulous projects so plan to sign up Saturday.
