New product alert!

As most of you know ...Valerie is the technology behind our team! I can barely check email! But we have fabulous new product in and I need to learn to show it to you so I am going to attempt to give you a peek! As you know the GCD Studios lines came last week. We have Lost in Paradise, Whoop de Doo, Zen Garden and Carnival Ride.

American Crafts- New Thickers alphabets and chipboard accents, Rub ons, journal stickers, and of course the beautiful spring ribbon rolls!

Scenic Route - 3 mini lines- Roxbury (the wonderful Christmas line), Loveland (my favorite Valentine line) and The beautiful new Easter line, Lynden. Scenic Route is definitely one of our favorite companies! They have just introduced 2 more lines that will be in soon! I can't wait!

Sorry no pictures....I guess I need another lesson! Now you will just have to come in and see it! Hope to see you soon! Claire

JOB UPDATE

As most of you know, I have recently started my career in the field of Psychology! I am now a Children's Counselor at Inner Harbour Hospital in Douglasville, GA. Inner Harbour is a non-profit residential treatment center for emotionally and behaviorally disabled children ages 6 - 18. I am working with the kids ages 6 - 12! It is pretty intense but extremely interesting.

I just learned something today that is pretty cool... Publix and Inner Harbour are "partners". This means, that if you shop at Publix and you are interested in helping out Inner Harbour, you can pick up one of the little barcode key tags that I have left at the store. Every time you go to Publix, have them scan your tag and they donate a certain percentage to Inner Harbour... pretty cool, huh?!? I brought a whole bunch to the store, so if you are interested just let an employee know! I would love for all of them to be picked up. Inner Harbour is doing some incredible work with children, so I encourage you to get one of these. All it takes is for you to put it on your key chain and have them scan it everytime you grocery shop!! If you want to check the website out, it is... www.innerharbour.org . Thanks so much everybody!

HOW CUTE!



This is a project from one of our "littlest" customers... Callie & she is only 8 years old!! Isn't this sooo cute?!? I had to give her props because she is a new scrapper and doing fabulous work!! Great job, Callie!!

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK...

There is a new company coming out this season... and Crafter's Home stores have been chosen to preview it before anyone else!!! Since we are part of that group, that means we will be one of the few preview stores!! This new company is called GCD Studios!! GCD has been described by some as Basic Grey mixed with a Chatterbox and and a little bit of LUXE. I actually agree!! This is so exciting!! I believe that towards the end of next week we will be allowed to post pictures... I'll keep you updated on that!
