NEW YEAR'S CHALLENGE

We have been looking for a way to get more scrapbooking done in this oh so crazy world we live in. I tend to go on scrapping sprees and then I seem to be "too busy" for a little while and get left behind. :( We have decided to challenge you and ourselves to make a layout a week. This can be a double page or a double page layout... whatever you love the best. To help you (and my mom) out... I am creating pamphlets that you can pick up at the store every week. These will be our "SI&M Sketch of the Week". These pamphlets will have a sketch, a place for notes and/or ideas and am inspirational idea. They are the perfect size to collect... get you a small ring and create yourself a whole go-to idea book.

LOTS TO MENTION...

There is lots of stuff happening here at SI&M, so here it goes...

The square in Fayetteville had a Fall Festival where kids could come and trick or treat on the square!! It was so cute. They had pumpkin contests, candy and lots of fun!

Kaiser Crafts is here!! It is so cute! There is actually very little left, so make sure you come and get it while it lasts!

Little Yellow Bicycle's Christmas line is just as beautiful as their Halloween line! I absolutely LOVE it!!!

AMAZING CARD CLASS!!

Wait until you see these interactive cards!! These are incredible. Karen is having another of her popular card classes, but she is taking it up a notch!! These cards all have movable parts!! You can learn each of these techniques on October 25th at 10:00am. Call the store for more details!

NEW PHONE #

Ok, our new phone number to the store is: 678-817-0020. The old phone number should still be rolling over, but ya never know!

TA DA!

NO WE ARE NOT CLOSING!

During my absence I’ve been working on a surprise!

WE ARE MOVING!

We are moving to a more central location for our whole customer base! The store will be smaller but as Donna says… savings in rent means more new product!

To prepare for our move we would love to give you a chance to save on (and keep us from moving!) the products in the Peachtree City location.

So starting this morning....

25% off the inventory in the store (except exclusive school products and special orders)

All sales will be final and no extra discounts will be given on previously reduced merchandise. VIPs will be able to use their 10% discount in addition to the sale!

HI!!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that I will have some new layouts that I have done up soon! My best friend is getting married in May and I am making a pre-wedding album full of all the fun things me and the rest of the wedding party has done with her to get this thing pulled together! It's not near done because we still have lots going on, but it's been fun! I need some of the finishing touches to put on before I post them!

I have just added something kind of fun on the blog... it's a poll! It's partly for fun, but it's partlt research! lol! I think I might keep it going with something new every once in a while, just to keep getting input from you guys!

Since I have been crazy busy, I haven't been posting very much inspiration on our blog lately, so I thought maybe I would share something from my favorite... Ms. Elsie!! She has a shop on Etsy.com where you can purchase some of her art work. I actually already have some but I just bought a few more... surprise surprise! I love the bright funky colors! Just something fun!
