Greetings!   
  

      There's new stuff in the store this week!  If you've been keeping up with our Blog then you'll already know that last week we received new 6"x6" background stamps from Impression Obsesssion (Lilian's favourite!).  Keep an eye on the Blog on Wednesday afternoon/Thursday and you'll be the first to know when we've unpacked the new Blossom Soup papers, Distress Coredinations cardstocks, Bubblegum papers, and Serenity Sock and Chunky yards.

 

     Also, if you are registered for our Basic Grey Page-of-the-Month program then watch your email inbox later this week!  Our kits will be arriving and we'll be in touch with you as soon as they are ready for pick up.

A Tip For Every Crafter!
  
     One of our crafting friends forwarded this tip to us yesterday.  We thought it could apply to every crafter so we're sharing it with all of you!  Such a simple solution...
  
mar 7 - tip  

 

  

Always keep several get well cards on the mantle. So if unexpected guests arrive, they will think you've been sick and unable to clean.

 

 

Thanks Tammy

     Lilian and I received an email yesterday from another crafting friend that reminded us of how fortunate we are to still have a local hospital.  It wasn't all that long ago that we, along with other members of our community, met at Memorial Park to voice our concern over the thought of losing our hospital and again more recently we have been faced with the possibility of reduced lab services.  The email we received yesterday is striving to bring attention to the Medical Laboratory profession.  It's a service that we really aren't totally aware of as we take advantage of tests/procedures at our local hospital.  We perhaps don't realise how often some of these tests may find their way to the lab for a variety of reasons.  Our crafting friend has done her part by educating and enlightening us considerably.
We would encourage you to CLICK HERE to view a short video showing you the importance of these services.  The goal is to reach enough "hits" so that the video will be featured as a television commercial.  The thirty seconds of time you invest in watching this video today could make a difference to you or your family later, should you need to access our local hospital lab facilities.  We hope you will participate and help keep our hospital and all it's services "healthy".
 
                                                            Happy Crafting!
