paper towers anyone???

ok. seriously. this very and most unfortunately is my dining room. yes, in my HOME.
no. it does not usually look like this.
the move has taken its toll. I have piles and boxes and stuff EVERYWHERE!
just wish I had piles and boxes of TIME to organize it all.















ok, the GOOD news.....
we ended up with a few EXTRA paper towers.





















we have 3 wooden towers and 3 black wire towers.
if you are interested in acquiring a paper tower for your very own dining room (or much more appropriately your scrap or craft room) let us know.
(each tower has 30 paper slots, all are for 12x12 paper. wooden towers are $150, wire towers are $75). give us a call if you would like one!




making me smile...
get cuter. found these stinkin cute shots of Lucy while downloading my chic dining room makeover photos. couldn't resist sharing. cute puppies make messy piles and moving chaos seem not so bad! life is good!

season of change

Spring is here. Time for new beginnings and a fresh outlook.
Our move has been relatively sane. Only a handful of mini-dramas to handle.
(still waiting for the ceiling guy to fix the leak caused by the sign guy that
ruined the lighting and table top. Didn’t think I wanted a fountain in the
classroom….but it’s kind of a nice touch!)

We are right on target with our move in/move out dates.
Remember that our final day at the original location is this Saturday.
We will be closed Sunday and Monday, then open our new doors
Tuesday.
Our April workshop schedule is set and classes are filling fast.
Check out our new calendar feature here on the blog for dates, times
and descriptions.
Grand Re-Opening details are in the works. Please join us for some super fun
projects, prizes and hoopla! (Saturday April 19th).
We can’t wait to get started in our fresh surroundings!

Happy Spring!

moving out, moving in

oh my the deconstruction has begun! of course you all know we are not afraid of power tools...however Lynette seemed just a bit too enthusiastic with the drill last Saturday!!


We got our counter apart.....it was then just a matter of getting it out the door.










The check mark theory worked! We got it out (in only 3 pieces!) ... on the road and into the new store. whew! We had a huge day Saturday, moving mostly all the "big stuff". It's really all coming together beautifully and we can't wait to open and share the NEW arts & scraps!!

Thanks to the entire Saturday moving crew. If you can believe it, we only had 1 fatality! (our poor, poor ribbon rack).
oh I forgot...maybe 2 fatalities....Jim's knee is also gone. (not move related...ski related the day before the move. Geez Jim if you didn't want to help us move all you had to do was say so!!)

Seriously, I hope Jim gets better soon, our crew was amazing, I am thrilled with our progress, the support from everyone out there has been phenomenal...I can't say thank you enough..thank you, thank you, thank you!!
