A Holiday Giveaway!

In keeping with the spirit of the holidays, we are happy to announce a holiday giveaway!

What is this marvelous gift, you ask?

Well, like the “unobtanium” toys that crop up each year, this seems to be a relatively hard-to-come-by “toy” for crafters.

 

Santa and I have heard many a crafter lamenting their inability to find this wonderful little tool, so we thought, what better item to deliver to one lucky craft addict?

 

Drum roll please…

e

ee

eee

eeee

eeeee

eeeeee

eeeeeee

eeeeeeee

eeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeee

ee

Ta da!

It’s the McGill Pine Branch Punch!

It punches amazingly intricate pine branches, perfect for making wreaths or adding a little greenery to your holiday craft projects.

 

Looking to make your own versions of  Tim Holtz’s  Holiday Tags? Why not add a few pine branches under the embellishments?

Creating layouts in your  December Daily  book or album? These pine branches might be just the thing to spruce up a daily page!

 

So, were you a good little girl or boy this year?

If so, simply add a comment below* telling us how much you want this fun toy, and what you plan to do with it if Santa drops it into your stocking, and YOU could be the happiest kid on the block!

 

A lucky little girl or boy will be chosen at noon central time on Christmas Day, 12.25.2011.

 

Good luck and happy holidays to you all,

Stephanie

*And yes, this giveaway is open to even the naughty little girls and boys!

On the Road Again!

By on October 11, 2011   /   Road Trips   /   Leave a comment
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Last Wednesday I flew to Charlotte, NC to visit the site of our upcoming retreat and work out the final details of the event with the venue staff.

I also took a road trip – well, three road trips to be more precise – all around both North and South Carolina.

Along the highway in NC

 

Along the road in SC

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The purpose of the road trips?

To visit as many local scrapbook (LSS), stamp (RSS) and papercraft (PC) stores as I could in three days.

The list included 15 stores (there were a few more than that, but I knew I couldn’t hit them all in the time I had available).

My goals for visiting all of those stores?

To see what each had to offer; to meet the owners and learn what led them to owning an LSS, RSS or PC; to see how I might assist them in gaining more customers; and of course, to share the news of our upcoming retreat. Oh yeah, and to find some new treasures!

I left each store a little poorer in the wallet and a lot richer in my knowledge. I left having learned about some unique products and having seen the latest and greatest from many of my favorite manufacturers. And, I made some new friends along the way.

Total miles driven: 772

Total stores visited: 11

Total experience: Priceless!
