Wonderful News!!!!!!!

We have WONDERFUL news!!!!!!!!!!!!

First and foremost I want to take a moment to thank each and everyone one of you who made it into the store this past week! Your thoughtfulness and support meant the world to me - I truly have the BEST customers EVER!!!!!!

As most of you know it has been an EXTREMELY difficult couple of weeks and closing the store this past weekend nearly did me in. So I will get right to the point of this newsletter....

After several meetings and much thought on my part today...The landlord and I were able to come to a "workable" agreement for both of us...Which means...

WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THE STORE OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes...you heard me correctly...We are re-opening for business!!!

It was a very stressful day but I really did not want to close and tonight I am thrilled to be sending you all this email! So as of tomorrow morning we will re-open for business! This whole event has given me alot of insight on how I am running my business. And I promise you it will be better than before! I am going to do everything to be the BEST scrapbook store in Florida! So please tell all your friends that Cherry Blossom Studio is indeed open for business!

They out did themselves this year and have 3 new lines debuting at the end of this month including the first ever Halloween line, as well as Fall and Christmas. Eerie, Indian Summer and Eskimo Kisses. All three are due into the store the end of the month. In an effort to help you save some money and us know how much to actually order we are offering an opportunity to choose your items, prepay and reduce the price with a 20% discount off the regular price. We have samples of the papers in the store to see or you can go to http://www.basicgrey.com/ to make your choices.
