The ancient art of quilling

Hey - you know those cute accents that you have seen on cards and scrapbook pages, that look very intricate and complicated? It's called quilling, and it is actually easy! With a couple of simple tools and supplies, you too can be creating your own accents. Your friends will think you are so talented!

Come out to a Beginner's quilling class at the store on September 17th from 10:30-1:30.  The cost is $30 for supplies and you receive a $5 coupon for the store. In this class you will learn all the basic shapes needed to create beautiful patterns. 

This class sold out in June, so don't put off calling Bob to reserve your spot. I heard this class had a ball quilling! Who would have thought that rolling paper would be so much fun!

While you're at it, sign up for the Intermediate class scheduled for October 1st. Same price, same $5 coupon for the store. 

Sparkles!

What Jennie and Bob were up to last week

Well - Riley and Chassie have already let everyone know that Jennie and Bob were away for Langdan's birth - but they had a good reason.....

They were attending the CHA convention in Chicago. I hear they had a great time........no details yet....only "what happens in Chicago stays in Chicago!" I will see what I can find out for you about all the fun!

For those of you who don't know - CHA stands for Craft and Hobby Association and is pronounced 

"C" "H" "A"  not cha......as in cha cha!  

It's where the industry struts it stuff, showcases the best they have to offer and previews the new products that will be hitting the shelves once CHA is over. It is held twice a year, the larger of the two shows happens in January in Anaheim California. 

There were 200 + companies represented there, and you will see a lot of their products showing up in the store over the next few months. 

Stay tuned to the blog for sneak peaks - this year your Christmas paper crafting is going to be your best ever!  

Sparkles!

A new addition to the family!


Apparently I am being upstaged by the store mascots for this post......

Uncle Riley and Aunt Chassie are howling the announcement of the birth of their nephew, Langdan on July 21. Here's what they had to say:

"It's a good thing we were here, because Bob and Jennie were on a train coming back from CHA in Chicago when Langdan was born!  

Humans have it so easy, there was only one in the litter.  He weighed 8 lbs though - so we guess it is a good thing there was only one. He belongs to Jordan and Gillian who should be great parents because they have already had practice training their dog Kya.

He's a cute pup - (see pic below)  and apparently he has lots of hair.....which is always a good thing in our opinion.  We haven't had a chance to lick him yet - but we are betting that he tastes mighty good!  We can't wait to play with him.  

We also can't wait until he is old enough to come and visit, and drop food on the floor for us!

Oh, by the way - this means Jennie and Bob are now the "g" word......... you know what we mean....."

Riley and Chassie 

Is anybody still out there? 

Well......I wouldn't blame you if you wandered off somewhere. After all, the last post on this blog was March 22 - not 2011 but 2010!   Welcome back!   I promise to update more often than every 16 months!   LOL!

Jennie and Bob have been very busy lately, finding new and exciting things to play with.  If you haven't been in the store lately, come on in!  You will find a  lot of new stuff to fall in love with, new paper you can't live without - and more exciting products to inspire you to new heights of creativity.

It's a great way to beat the heat - spend a couple of hours exploring at Skribbles and Scraps!

Talk to you soon!
Sparkles!
