Our awesome FedEx buddy saw my car at the City working late last night at 6pm and delivered a shipment he had already marked to go back till next week knowing we were closed.  So, he turned around and delivered it!!!  And you'll be soooo happy to hear....  Its our MIA October Afternoon shipment!!!!!  whoot whoot... and not just 1 line, but TWO teeheehee :)

October Afternoon 'Holiday Style' and 'Farmhouse' lines are in stock and they are to die for!!!  You better come by Saturday and snatch yours up.....

This City Chick is thankful for our faithful FedEx friend :)

 

The Farmhouse line is the perfect vintage line we've been needing...  Just the names of the papers take me back to another time: church social, sunday dinner, clothesline, porch swing, attic trunk, wallpaper...  the lace trims and the vintage buttons are a must have if you like the vintage style at all!!

 

Holiday Style.... is now City Chick Style!!!  Think this has to be my favorite Christmas line yet for 2011.... its awesome.  Little Flyers, Flower Sacks and Sprinklers... oh ya!!!  ...enuf said :)

If you haven’t been by the City in the last few days, our class shelves are once again full.  Next week we have two classes.  The first is a 3 page layout class with warm fall colors and later in the week is the Bon Appetite recipe class. 

November is approaching and we all know that means time to start on Holiday gifts and Christmas cards.  So us City Chicks are trying to help you not get behind this holiday season.  In November we will have a Stamp-a Stack class where you will make 6 copies of  5 different Christmas cards...that's 30 Cards!!  We are also doing a Christmas Card Swap (details coming!), a UT album, and a “House Rules” album, which would all make great Christmas gifts. If the Cricut is on your Christmas list sign up to take the beginners class to be ahead of the ball game.  Or, if you have your own creative projects sign up to spend the day here at a crop and get them marked off your Holiday to do list.  You will find pictures and dates for all of the above classes and crops on the website.
