The first CHA arrivals...

these CUTE collections by Three Bugs in a Rug! The top picture shows a couple of Christmas products that I just couldn't resist picking up. The new collections are called "The Great Outdoors" and "Animal Crackers". (Click on any image to enlarge.)

We've carried several Three Bugs collections in the past, and believe me, they won't last long...

"Sweet Retreat" t-shirts are in! They are short-sleeved, crew neck black tees, with an adorable logo designed by our friend Christine Ousley. Sizes M through XL are $15 each, and 2X and 3X are $16 each. Quantities are limited, so call, e-mail, or come by to get your size!

Retreat balances are due by Monday, February 1st. Our sister store, Scrapbook Mania, has a couple of spots left. You can contact them at 205-424-4246 if you are interested. (We'd love for you to join us! This retreat is going to be so much fun!)

Top and bottom pictures show some new goodies that just came in--you won't believe the prices on these! The middle picture is of Mrs. Judy, one of our many talented customers, with a canvas she created using some paper and embellishments she bought at our store. How awesome is that--and how beautiful is that family? =)

Many of you have been asking, and YES we will be having another Yard Sale soon! We are planning for April, when hopefully the weather will be more predictable and cooperative. Begin gathering your items to sell and watch the blog and newsletter for details!

So...have you peeked at any of the new goodies that will be available at CHA, the big trade show that begins next week in California? You can take a gander at many of the new products by visiting the links to the right. As those of you who know me can attest, I like it ALL--so your input about what YOU like will be valuable as we plan our ordering. Send me an e-mail, post to my wall on Facebook, or reply to this entry to let me know what goodies you just can't live without!

Inclement Weather Hours for Thursday

We'll be open from 9 until 12 on Thursday, January 7th. While you're out getting milk and bread, drop by and pick up some scrapping supplies in case you get snowed in for a day or two. =)

We'll play it by ear on Friday. If the roads are clear and schools are open, then we'll be here normal hours, 10 until 5:30. If the roads look bad in the a.m. but are going to improve, we'll come in late. We'll post on Friday morning what we're planning to do.

Be safe and try to stay warm!

What a great turnout at our Open House!!! We cannot express how much your support means to us! Thanks so much for visiting with us--and for waiting in that line for so long with smiles on your faces! You're the best customers in the world!!!

The winners of our ten gift certificates are: Amber O., Heather H., Terri Mc., Tina L., Shirley W., Judy S., Jodi T., Leah B., Virginia T., and Blair W. Congrats, girls!

If you couldn't make it to the Open House, you may still be in luck...We have several of the ten-coupon sheets left, and we'll give them out to customers until we are out of them. (Printer malfunction + paper-saving store owner = extra copies that will not be thrown away!)

Come see us! =)
