WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!
By now most of you on the email list have read our big announcement. But if you haven't, then Lisa and I want you to know that we are taking the big plunge and My Heart's Fancy will become a Rubber Stamp and Art Supply store in January! We're very excited to be giving our complete and entire attention to the world of stamping and paper crafting.

NEW LOCATION
And we're also excited to announce that we will be moving into a new location as well. We hope to be in the new location and open by the second week of January. After an exhaustive search we settled on a new shopping center at 164th and Penn called Fenwick Plaza. It's new and there is plenty of parking. We will have a more usable classroom space and we hope to be able to accomodate just a few extra people with ease. We hope you will enjoy it and we look forward to providing you with even more fun things to do as well as provide you with a more comprehensive selection of art supplies. We will post more about the new store as details are available.

BIG SALE
A move and change of focus means that we have a lot of gift merchandise to move. Beginning Tuesday, November 2 all gift merchandise (with a few exceptions) will be 40% off. We have to get it out before Christmas so be sure to take advantage of this great opportunity to nab some great Christmas presents for friends, neighbors and family!

CHRISTMAS TAG SWAP
Although we didn't have time to get the packets ready for Demo Day, they are ready for pick-up now. We will be closed Friday and Saturday to prepare for the sale, but if you'll give us a call we'll meet you at the door with a packet. Tags are due back by November 20th which is Demo Day and we'll have them swapped, photo'd and ready to return to you by the day after Thanksgiving, November 26 (going by memory, didn't consult the calendar).....

That's it for now..... Until next post..... Happy Stampin'!

November 2010 Class Schedule

As usual, Lisa has outdone herself.... You will really enjoy this group of classes. Thanksgiving pops up in the middle so you will notice that there are no classes that week.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS - NOV 2 - REPEAT

This class is an October class that was requested by a number of people who were unable to take it when it was originally offered. It was very popular and every class was full..... this is the last time it will be offered, so be sure to get enrolled if you are one of those who missed it the first time around!

9 DRAWER KEEPSAKE BOX - NOV 4

This is a box Lisa created a while ago and many have the box and papers. They said..Please Lisa.... make it a class so we can "git 'er done"..... and so.... here it is. You will need the box and papers if you don't have them. Let us know if we need to order them for you.

VINTAGE CHRISTMAS - NOV 9, 11 & 12

This is a 5 card class that has a wonder vintage look. One of the cards uses the rosette that is created by Tim Holtz's new die. You will get to use a plethora of fun stamps & supplies!

TRIFOLD 3D SHADOW BOX - NOV 14

This is a fabulous Trifold card that opens to reveal a lovely shadow box inside. A treat for anyone you chose to gift.

JUSTRITE CHRISTMAS - NOV 18 & 19

Justrite Stampers has a great selection of Christmas designs. Images from several different sets will be used to create this wonderful set of cards.

DEMO DAY - SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20th...... Always FREE, always a FREE make-it-take-it and always a NEW class schedule. This will be our last Demo Day for the year, but we hope to have a Hero Arts Preview Party in December..... details when available.

CHRISTMAS IN METAL - Tuesday, November 30

At press time, these cards were not ready for publication. You will make a group of cards using one of the Ten Seconds Studio molds
which will then be cut and used to make the cards. You will need all your metal tools, matt & paper stump.

Remember to bring your class kit with you on class night. If you don't have one, give us a call and we'll tell you what you need. We have most of the basic supplies available so you can purchase them on class night with your 10% class discount.....

2010 Oklahoma State Fair

SO...... i WenT tO tHe gReaT sTAte FaiR of OkLAhoMA.....

Yup... I did. Well, I had a purpose.... I entered photos in the photo exhibit and wanted to see if I won any ribbons (did, but that's an entirely different story). My very cool husband, Jeff, went with me. We had Frozen Bananas, Fried Okra and a Wine-A-Rita (mix available at our store). After alcohol, he was pretty much putty in my hands so I talked him into visiting the hobby & craft exhibits to see if any of our fab customers had won any ribbons.....

AND Yes they did! So I'm going to crow about it..... Cock-A-Doodle-Do! In the Stamping & Scrapbooking category (only one I checked) our good friends, Kay McKinnis, Debbie Musick, Sue Bowers, & Debra Zink won a variety of ribbons. Debbie won the most (I quit counting after 5) with a multitude of 1st Place Blues & 2nd Place Reds. She entered a halloween tag made in one of Lisa's class and it won a 2nd Place Red..... she won numerous ribbons in the scrapbooking catagory with a variety of very clever books and shadow boxes. Kay McKinnis won ribbons for scrapbook pages, altered can top, and a very lovely stamped greeting card. Sue Bowers won a ribbon for a beautifully tole painted scrapbook cover (she is a fabulous tole painter) and Debra Zink had a 1st place blue ribbon winning Altered Birdfeeder decorated with stamping, embelishments and scrapbook papers. Oh, and I must also tell you that her mother, Eileen Sullivan, (who is also one of our favorite shoppers) won a 1st Place ribbon for photography in the Scenic catagory! Way to Go People!

After so much excitement I promptly went home and collapsed on the couch.....

That's it for now..... Until next post..... Happy Stampin!

HALLOWEEN TAG SWAP

mY oH mY..... Tag swap was a huge success. Too many pictures to post here, but if you click on the Facebook Icon the link will take you to our Facebook Wall where you can find the photo album of tags. I think you will agree that everyone has something wonderful to share. If you participated and didn't make it by Saturday for Demo Day, your tags are waiting for you to be picked up.

Demo Day

We had great fun and everyone enjoyed making the really cool "goody" bag made with tags. Lisa comes up with the most creative ideas, but this idea was given to us by one of our customers, Rita R. Thanks Rita!

October Class Schedule

I will have the schedule, complete with pictures, posted by Tuesday evening. There are some really cool projects and the first Christmas classes of the season as well.

That's it for now..... Until next post..... Happy Stampin'!
