I'm in complete HEAVEN right now....

We got SO many new goodies in today from Echo Park and American Crafts!  After hours and hours (literally) of putting everything into inventory, it's finally ready for US to buy!! :)  You need to be at the store soon to snatch up all that you want because this stuff is great!  American Crafts sent us their Dots & Stripes line and their Neopolitan line that has so many cute accessories it's just plain CrAzY cute!  My favorites, of course, are the boyish lines we got from Echo Park called and Times & Seasons and This and That (we got the very pretty This & That girl line, too, for all of you girl mamas :).  As I opened each pack I kept getting layout ideas for all of these gorgeous papers!  Gotta love Echo Park with all of their awesome embellishments, too!  The best part of my day though was all of the new THICKERS I get to buy now!  You know I'm obsessed with my Thickers and now I have 15 new packs added to my collection! :)  We got the super cool DIY thickers, too, that I can't wait to try!  I'm pumped that I get to close the crop this Saturday so I can play with all of this new scrap stuff!

I almost forgot...you asked and we listened.  My stamp-and-stack that filled up so fast is now going to be offered again.  I'll will be teaching the same Wednesday night card class again Saturday, February 25th at 11:00. So if you are interested give us a call at the store or sign up online.  For a complete description of the class look under the class tab on our website. 

Have a great night, and be sure to keep Lou busy tomorrow getting all of these great new scrap goodies before they're gone!
