Scrap*Funattic

Wow! What a crazy couple of weeks we've had....seems like this big ol' drama/sadness cloud is just following us around ya know?? I'm ready for it to go away!!! I've wanted to add something to the blog everyday this past week, but didn't feel that it was the "RIGHT" time - wanted to give some peace and time for Mike......we attended his service yesterday - and I have to say - it was a very NICE and UPBEAT service. He was a VERY talented man, did you know he could paint, knit, crochet, decorate cakes - all in ADDITION to stamping and cardmaking and scrapbooking!!?? We knew how talented he was in the scrapbooking/stamping world - but WOW that man was FULL of talent!! He will be GREATLY and DEARLY missed. But, not forgotten - we are working on a little something for Mike - so be watching for that!

Now - as you probably noticed in the ticker above - ONE week from TODAY - our Crop*A*Ganza June 2008 event registration opens up!! I must say - I'm excited to see how it goes "over"!! With it being in the summer, I'm not sure WHAT to expect - with vacations and family time and all that - but we knew that when we picked the date....so, we'll see!! Hopefully by the time you're reading this you are able to upload the registration form for yourself!!! Print that puppy out and fill it out and have it READY when you come in next week!! Registration opens at 9:00AM - (no exceptions, STEFFANIE!!) :)........I feel so bad when there are people waiting to get in and there I am inside - all warm and cozy - :) We'll be there, ready for you!!! You can fax it to us as well - or mail it in!!.......316-733-4922 fax....po box 757 Andover, KS 67002.......316-733-0029 (BUT, please note that we will be short staffed this weekend, so the phone MAY not be answered as QUICKLY as we'd like!)

We're working with Christie to get SOME SORT of a mock up of a shirt for you to see - we'd like to encourage you to purchase a Shirt this time.......I'll explain more on that in a post later on this week - so be watching for that.

Sarah or I plan to post some more information regarding Summer Ganza BEFORE the registration opens......changes that we'll be making this time and other info - so be watching for that soon as well!!!

I spent ALL night last night (almost 8 hours!) working on orders from CHA!!! Since we were unable to attend b/c of Ganza, there's been LOTS MORE leg work to do to find EXACTLY what we're wanting to order from this show! So, once I make the FINAL decisions - be watching for updates on those sneeks as well!!! Some if it has been ordered and has already shipped - so i'm excited to see it!!! (the girls did a LOT of the work helping me to NARROW down the BEST and GREATEST items for YOU!)

Some new stuff we've received over the last two weeks..........
