Here we are again!

We're in the middle of our second and for some third week of social isolation and I think we're gonna be here a while...The challenge for many of us is to manage our household filled with children and spouses who would otherwise be at work, not to mention ourselves. Ladies, I feel your pain - and am very grateful I'm not one of you! I do have my adult daughter at home, which does create some challenges but my husband is only home part of the time as he works part-time in an essential business. But being home together has created some interesting bonding opportunities, like cleaning out closets and our pantry. Oh, my! what we found. I'm not a cook and we don't have a very organized meal planning method so we found canned goods that went back, well, I'm embarrassed to say! Next weekend we're tackling our basement. To give you a clue, it looks like an episode of Hoarders! What fun things are you doing with your family?

Have you checked out the new on-line store? We are very happy with what we've got on line for you so far. We are adding more every day and if there is something you do not see, call the store and leave a message. Sharon is in several days a week, prepping and shipping orders and receiving new merchandise. We are very grateful for all of you who have already been shopping at the on-line store and we hope you all check it out real soon.

Also, Sharon has been doing videos on Facebook. I'll try and post a link to them here on the blog for those of you who do not have FB. In addition to new product, Sharon has been doing card videos and will be doing technique videos.

Matter of fact Sharon will be LIVE today, Wednesday, April 1st at 2:00 pm. She will be making some cards using Washi tape from Altenew and Memory Box and will be featuring embossing glitter paste from Creative Expressions. So set your timers and alarms and join Sharon at 2 pm!

Class Kits To-Go!

Because we are unable to offer in-store classes at the moment, we've decided to make some kits to-go! All the kits below are available for purchase on our website. They can be completed with the items in your basic kit. At check-out you can choose whether you would like them to be mailed to you or set aside for curb-side-pick-up!

3-D Easter Cards - This kit comes with all the papers and Toppers you see here. All kits include card bases and envelopes! We have *6 kits available* at $30/kit

Gnomes! More gnomes from Whipper Snapper! Kits include everything you see here including card bases and envelopes. *12 kits available* at $20/kit

NEW!!  Kits for Kids! This kit includes images for 4 cards, card bases, assorted decorative background papers, a pink or green journaling pen, and envelopes! (background papers will vary) *10 kits available* at $10/kit!

We also have a few of the Lawn Fawn Interactive Kits available featuring the Magic Iris die cuts, birthday pop-up and the lady bug add-on for the small treat box. Two different Pretty Pink Posh classes are available, the Love This! and the Birthday class kits. We also have Whimsical Easter (featuring Whipper Snapper images) card class and Old Fashioned Easter (featuring Northwoods images). These class kits are very limited so order before they are gone!

We have new arrivals! The Stamping Buddy Pro is back in stock! This is an alternative to the Misti but works EXACTLY the same! The price point is much lower than the Misti and it has open sides for longer paper to fit in, UNLIKE the Misti!

Replacement magnets for the Stamping Buddy!

We featured these last week but we have a much bigger selection. Find your favorite pup! I wish I could get a photo of the stamps themselves to show you. All the art work, coloring, doodling,  you see on the front of this packaging is just that, finished images. The stamps themselves are clear, plain images of the various breeds. You decorate/color just how YOU want. If your favorite fur baby is here you can make an exact colored image of your pup.  Our dogs and cats and gerbils and hamsters and whatever other pets you have in your lives are so important to our mental and emotional health during this crisis. Treat them right, immortalize them!

Boy, have we been waiting on this. The Magnetic Platform for your Big Shot machines!

Sizzix also has some new Thinlits dies. Happy Hour anyone?!

Whoa! Circles in circles and squares in squares! There are 25 dies in each set! Great for mosaic card designs and so much more!

That darn Spring is here, so says my calendar, but it's hard to see right now. Maybe these will help.

Lastly are these stamps by Indigo Blu. We might have missed the boat on this first one, "Winter is Coming". But, I can see these used with Lavinia stamps to create background scenes.

Support your local bee keepers! Here is the Queen Bee herself, complete with crown!

Well that's it for me for today, remember, join Sharon at 2 pm on Wednesday, April 1 for a LIVE Facebook video. I will repost here on the blog on Thursday for those of you who do not have FB. 

Here's my funny for the week.

 Everyone STAY SAFE! and Happy Crafting!
