A Knoxville Scrapbooking Blog

Today we are busy, busy preparing for our family night at Chick-fil-a on Chapman Hwy.  We will be doing the craft time with the children and their parents to encourage family time together. : )  What better way to have family fun than to eat together and craft?!?!!  Since the end of the school year is practically here, we are all in need of teacher gifts to show our appreciation.  The children will get to make their teachers a cute & fun gift while learning to stamp :) 

Join the family fun celebration at Family Night, Chick-fil-a on Chapman in South Knoxville from 5-8pm tonight!! 5/15/12  There will be inflatables for the kiddos to use up some of that energy too!!

Don't forget our Mother & Daughter crop this Saturday, May 19th 11am-11pm.  We will be serving Chicken Salad with Croissants and fresh fruit for a late lunch.  Use this chance to scrapbook with your daughter or just general crafting.  Share your love for the craft and watch them smile from ear-to-ear :)  You don't have to have a daughter with you to join us.  Its open for all!!
Daughters ages 5-10 can crop with their mommies from 10am-1pm for $5 per mom/daughter.  We will have a small flower project for you to work on together too!  Older daughters can stay & crop all day for $5 with their mom's paid crop fee of $15.  Our older daughters will be able to make the flower make-n-take also but can bring their own projects and crop along side their moms.

In the spirit of family time, please be in prayer for our dear friend, Kim Bloomfield and her son Tyler.  You probably remember her from our Design Team in the past or you've probably cropped with her at a crop!  She's always so bubbly you can't miss her smile!!  Kim lost her husband Sunday night to a long battle of brain cancer. :(  We are so deeply saddened for her and admire her strength as a wife & mother & friend.  Watch for a fundraising crop to come in the next few weeks to help Kim & Tyler get back on their feet.

If you haven't done it yet today, tell your loved ones you love them and hug them tight!!  Make sure to make time for Family Time in your crazy & hectic worlds.  Plus, be sure to capture those moments on camera and scrapbook them!! :)

Have a great day and hope to see you this week sometime!
Toodles,

We have mysterious things going on this month at The City.  To get us in the mystery "mindset" we are beginning to decorate for the Halloween season.  Which will be perfect for our upcoming appearance in a Discovery channel documentary :)  Yes, you read this correctly... The Discovery Channel approached Sara one day last week about using the City to film for an upcoming documentary.  Filming will take place tonight and we will certainly let you know when the documentary is going to air.  But, trust us...when we say the plot is mysterious and even hard to imagine for the spookiest of minds!

Also, we have a special City Chick digging into the past of our 100 year old home.  Who knows what crazy things she will find out!  All of the mysteries we are being presented with over the next few weeks has lead right into the November retreat theme... The City Girls Murder Mystery Mountain Retreat... :)

Well it wasn’t Mr UPS that came yesterday – it was the Fed-Ex guy that arrived late in the afternoon bringing with him a box from my favorite company…….October Afternoon!  That’s right, we have in the store (while they last…) Modern Homemaker

Schoolhouse (which is an extension of Report Card)

I won’t go on and on about how much I love them and how versatile they are etc etc because I know you’ve heard it all before  Just hurry to the City and grab it before I get it all!

And just incase you didn’t already know….scrapbooking is a great activity for these snow days – it was even on the news – click here to see for yourself  (watch all the way to the end to see your favorite store….)
