{OMG Bo Bunny Amazing}

2 Blog posts in one night. I did the first one and then found these so I had to come back and post again.

Bo Bunny has out did themselves this time! Wow! What fun stuff my fav is the Jazmyne. I just love the purples.

{CHA Sneak Peaks}

Creative Imaginations has some awesome new lines coming. I cannot wait to get my hands on them. It so makes me want to scrapbook. Which most know I get to do so infrequently. I am dying to go for a scrap getaway weekend.

Monkey Business




Oceana



Birthday Bliss




I am going to try desperately to keep up with the sneak peaks. As always you know we will get Basic Grey. They are stingey with their sneak peaks so will probably have nothing for another week. Let's get some comments going about what you like when we post it. It sure will be a great help in deciding which lines you want us to bring in and which just do nothing for you. What type of misc embellishments do you want to see. Random things not just collections.

{Oasis of the Seas Cruise Update}Attn: Rubber Stampers

We are so over the top excited about the Cruise. There has been one change. We had confirmed Teresa Collins to join Donna along with us for the cruise. Unfortunately, it was with heavy heart and some tears that Teresa had to step aside from the cruise. As many of you know she does other cruises with another travel agency and they were not so cooperative with her doing our cruise. Despite the fact it is not the same week and as of when ours was scheduled for they did not have one that month at all. Rather than make her life hell she decided to step aside. As I told her she is worth the wait and if not this cruise we will just have to snag her for our Alaska one in summer 2011. She is very much looking forward to working with us in the future.

When one door closes another one opens. So without further adieu drum roll please.......Angela from Unity Stamp Company will be joining us on our voyage. We will have a minimum of 3 classes from Donna and 3 classes from Unity Stamp. Since they are a stamping company we are looking to have them focus on stamp classes.

The website is now up for registration for this cruise. www.cruiseandcrop.com just click either scrapbook or stamp cruises and scroll down to Cherry Blossom Studio. Please join me in giving a HUGE welcome to Angela for joining the cruise.

We do a thread on Splitcoaststampers.com under Member Company Unity..

We just received another order in. We have all machines and refills back in stock.

With 2009 coming to a close we all have many things over the past year to look back upon with thankfullness. I am so thankful to my family, customers and health. What are you most thankful for in 2009? Post your comments and share.
We had a very emotional year with the store move, store closing, store reopening and general growing pains of most businesses. We are very appreciative you have shared the ride along with us. It would not have been the same without you.

Another year goes by and with a close of a year we look forward to 2010 with much eagerness and anticipation. The Craft and Hobby Association Trade show is coming up quick. I leave in just a few short weeks to go to the biggest buying show of the year. Lets hear from you on what manufacturers and themes you would love to see in the store in 2009.

The Photography classes have been a HUGE success and we will continue to add additional classes to the already growing list of choices.

We have the collection packs and embellishments for the new Basic Grey lines coming in January 4th. www.basicgrey.com origins and sugar rush

Wishing you all the best in 2010!

{Amazing Cruise pricing and details}

Anyone booking in 2009 will receive a special goody in their goody bags....

All I can say is wow the cruise agency we are dealing with negotiated some amazing cruise fares. The fares we have including the conference, classes and more are the the same or up to $600 cheaper than the actual cruise if booked seperately on your own. Thanks to Gail an Cheri for all their hard work.

{Exciting Cruise Info}

All I can say is how excited I am. I have just received confirmation from Royal Caribbean of our 2010 cruise. We will be sailing on the brand new Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas.

www.royalcaribbean.com

The even better news is I am finalizing details to have both Donna Downey and Teresa Collins join us on the cruise. The cruise will be what we are calling classes and cruising. This way you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. This is the Largest ship in the World and many may be torn at what to do? crop or experience the ship. The way planned it you get to do both. You get to take some amazing classes from 2 of the most talented ladies in the industry and experience all the luxury's of first class cruising. All classes will be held during at sea days. They are all included in the rate that is being calculated. You will be more than welcome to scrapbook or stamp any other time of the cruise if you choose. There will not be page layout contests or stamping contests just good ole fashion getting stuff done if that is what you elect to do in your spare time. Basically you get to take some amazing classes and enjoy all the amenities of a luxuy cruise liner. They have a top notch kids club including a new baby and toddler nursery(not sure of pricing on that). There is something to do for kids of all ages including the grown kid you may be married to inlcuding a state of the art casino, fitness center, spa and more...

We have a website you can go to register. You will have cabin options as normal to choose from just please note because this is a brand new ship it is very popular and once it is sold out we have no way of adding additional cabins to our group. My recommendation is get your deposit in and pay a little each month until the balance is due 70 days prior to sailing.

Watch for more details including website address for registration as well as class info.
