Timeless Reflections

Layout Class today 10/31 time change to 12:00 p.m.

OK, yes we are doing a layout class today, I'm really excited it's a wonderful layout for the pumpkin patch pictures, more fall looking then halloween. I was missing an item that I wanted to add this morning so pushing the time back a little. We will start at 12 and end at 2:00 I have to be at Abbie's Halloween party at 2:45, the store will be open till 4:00 though as Dorothy will be there. Other exciting news the Little Yellow Bike Christmas Magic Collection came in yesterday and it is the bomb, so many pretty items, I'm expecting some more items today from Theresa Collins so if you've been waiting for these come by today as they are going fast. Also, another quick note we will be cropping on 11/7 from 6-midnight and then again on 11/14 from 6- 1 a.m., the fiskateers will be in town for a large crop on 11/15 (more info posted later on this) and Rebecca will be coming to our store from 8-10 p.m. to do a make-n-take so sign up early for this one as we only have limited seating, not sure if we will be doing our normal girls night out on the 21st with all this going on but we'll have more on that to come. ONE other item that was brought to my attention, since I expanded the store back in May I have had extended hours on Tuesday and Thursday night, and someone mentioned to me that they were not aware of this so re-posting store hours here. Sunday and Monday - Closed Wednesday and Friday - 10-4 Tuesday and Thursday - 10-6 Saturday 10-3 Hope to see you soon! Michelle

UPDATES!

I know it's been a while since I just posted to tell you all what's up but here goes, this may get a little long winded but here goes.

1st - I went to Chattanooga over the past weekend and brought back some great Stampers Anonymous Stamps, these will be gone fast so if you've been looking for any of their newer stamps I would definately be here early Tuesday 10/21

2nd - We tentatively have a Christmas Crop Set for December 13th, it will not be in the Hendersonville area as pricing is so high. I've found another venue, more information on that to come.

3rd - This Friday we will be starting a 2009 Calendar Project.  We will be doing 2 Months (2 9x9 page layout) on each of these dates up until Deceber 13th when we will be finishing the project.  These will take the place of the regular 2 page layouts on these dates, Oct. 24th, Nov. 7th & 21st, Dec 5th & the final date 13th we will be doing 4 pages.  Cost is st $15.00 for 2 pages, and then we will be adding the pages to the Heidi Swapp Calendar this will make an awsome gift to yourself or someone you really love.

4th - This is the most difficult, as you all know Summer months in retail are very hard financially, but usually come September things pick up and get better, unfortunately with the economy the way it's been it has been extremely tough to stay in the green.  My DH has been helping in every way possible and I have been doing as many classes a week as I can but this seems to only be covering the basic expenses.

This is why there has not been a lot of new product in the store (I currently have over $6,000 of product waiting to come in)  I can not go into any more debt at this time. 

Because I still have a while left on my lease 6 more months to be exact and I have had numerous people tell me they would do what ever it takes to keep me here, I'm making a small proposal. 

We currently have an All Access Club, (I currently only have 10 people who have signed up for this group.  Those who are already in will keep those benifits, but I am going to make a couple changes so that we can help each other through these tough times. 

If you join the All Access Club now, the cost from now to the end of the year would be $25.00 I would be taking the 25% off Quickutz and limit the 25% off coupons to 2 items (it will stay for the current members) But I will be adding 10% off all product purchase accross the board.  Kind of like a Sam's Member's Card, we would keep track here on the computer. 

Also, for those that join or are already a member, there will be a special sale starting this Thursday 10/23 through Saturday 10/25 everything except the new stamps will be 50% off, this sale will be for All Access Members ONLY.  Regular pricing will be in effect for those that are not full members.

I pray that this will help with some of the pressure that the store (and myself) have been struggling with, if things don't get better though I am not quite sure what I will be able to continue to do.

Please be in prayer, for us and our other retail family members as I know I'm not the only one hurting at this time.  And hopefully we can weather this storm.

Thank you for your support and encouragement.

Card Class for 10/16 at 1:00 p.m.

Cost of this one will be $10.00 as we are using Acrlyic on the third card and as you know the cost is up there.  Actually we will be changing card group to $10.00 every week as I was noticing when I had to pick up a card the other day at Walmart that the cheapest card I could find was $2.99 and let's just say (not bragging or anything) that it was not as nice as the ones we've been making.

 

 

Make-N-Take 10/15 From 11 to 3 p.m.

Bring Zip-Dry Adhesive and dry adhesive for this project.  5 front and back arrows, covered with Basic Grey, 7 Gypsies and Creative Cafe papers, and some jumbo rings from 7 Gypsies, along with ribbon from Creative cafe, make up this aw-some little book, we will decorate the front cover to make it something for you, I just love these wonderful fall colors, we traveled to Virginia this past weekend to visit my oldest daughter, and the fall foliage has me so inspired.

Cost will be $13.00
