Today is your last chance to pre-pay and get the $5 discount!! Menu is chicken salad with criossants, fresh fruit & pasta salad. :)
If
you're like me...you've been running ragged with these last two weeks
of school and I need some serious down time for myself. We run shuttles
to/from school, awards ceremonies, field days, fun days, walk-a-thons
etc. It never ends!! We've been making sure our kids didn't miss a
beat....so now let's make sure mom doesn't miss a chance for some great
down time crafting with the city chicks!
**Bonus:
schedule & pay for 2 crops for the summer and we'll help you out and
give you another crop for free!! That gets you scheduled for 'moms
important time' for 3 crops over the summer :) *bonus offer ends Sat. 5/19*
Don't miss out on this special :)
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,

Ok Mommies let's face it, we need some ME TIME. Between honey do this, mommy can you help me do that, cleaning, washing, and just doing daily errands we are crazy busy. If your house is anything like mine it runs a lot more smoothly when we have time to get away and do something for ourselves, something we enjoy. As for myself my free time is always spent here at the city cropping on a Saturday with my chicks. This Saturday, the 28th we will be having an all day crop. If you have participated in one before you know what a blast we chicks have. If you are a newbie to cropping we do it right. We open our crops at 11am and stay til 11 pm. This Saturday we will be having a pizza buffet for dinner and many giveaways through out the day. The fee is only 15 dollars if you pay by tomorrow and 20 if you pay Saturday.
So if you need some me time come spend Saturday with me and many other City Chicks as we scrap and chat the day away.

Hey Chicks,
I hope everyone had a great Easter holiday. I spent the holiday in Charleston, SC with my sweetie and boy oh boy do I have LOTS and LOTS of pictures to scrap. My wonderful parents keep our two very wild and extremely energetic boys while we were gone and took even more pictures then I did. With that said... I have reserved a spot in one of our April crops here at the City! There are two up coming so call and schedule your day to get some "Me" time and scrap all of those "Spring" events. This Saturday, April 14th is not only a crop but we will be offering a Silhouette Cameo Demo at 11:00. If you haven't "heard" all the RAVE about the new electronic cutting tool come SEE it in ACTION!! Then you can put it on your "must" have Mother's Day Gift List :)
We will also have a crop on April 28th starting at 11:00.
Don't forget with our crops if you prepay you will save 5 bucks. Bringing your ALL DAY crafting, eating, and snacking total to only $15.
Enjoy your day...
Amanda

We look for many different styles when choosing our design team to try to meet all of our costumers interest. So your style will perfect!!! Our fearless leader, Sara, will choose the new Design Team and a make the announcement when she returns from CHA. Speaking of Sara and CHA she leaves for sunny California on Saturday and returns January 31st. She will be at the show for 3 full days looking at all the new must haves from all the different companies. As always she will come back with new product, new techniques, and thousands upon thousands of pictures.
I say while Sara's away lets let the City Chicks Play!!!! FOR FREE!!!! We will be having a FREE crop this Saturday from 10 til 6... All you need to do is call ahead and reserve a spot or spots for you and your girlfriends. A FREE girls day sounds awesome!!

Good Day Sunshine is the new line from We R Memory Keepers, not the weather here at the City. (man it's cold). This line screams spring and warmth to me. We have 7 papers with great floral print, 2 stamp options, chipboard stickers, and fabulous coordinating ribbon to offer with this line.
We have added many new classes to our class/events tab...so make sure to check them out. We also have a couple spots still available for Saturday's crop. If you call and prepay by tomorrow you will save 5 dollars. We will gladly take your payment over the phone.
You may also want to check out our Scrappin Club that will meet next Tuesday at 6. You will bring only your basic craft kit and leave with 6 completed pages and the knowledge of many new techniques.
A friendly reminder that deadline for design team submissions is the end of the month. We just ask that you turn in 3 projects none of which need to be current papers or even papers from our store. Your projects will be returned to and the new design team will be announced the first week of February.
Happy Scrappin
Amanda
Make sure to check out our Holiday calendar and celebrate with the City Chicks. We're busy planning a fun season ahead...full of classes, cropping, techniques and more!! I'm finalizing the details of our City Chicks Open House for Dec. 3 full of make-n-takes and mini-classes and I'm also finishing up plans for our first ever Hubby Night. Be thinking what you want to add to your Wish List at the City. Will it be the new Tim Holtz Distress Inks? the new Silhouette Cameo?? a Retreat with the City Chicks for 2012? Whatever it may be... we'll help you get it for Christmas :)
We're also busy adding classes throughout the holidays for your gift-giving needs. There are some fun classes being offered and they give you a chance to step away from the holiday madness and make something with your hands.
I've even picked some fun themes for our upcoming crops (& decided on the menus!). Make sure to schedule some time for you and your crafting hobbies during the season to help with the sanity :) I promise we'll have a good time!
Hopefully, I can sleep a few hours now...since I've atleast started finalizing the Holiday Calendar...ahhh!
Toodles,
Sara
