Week 4...FREE Tag Make & Take

With only 5 days until Christmas, we decided to keep life simple and repeat our tag from Week 1. Besides, not many of you knew about the free make & takes that we were running as a part of Downtown's A Dickens of a Christmas. This will be the final week for the Saturday event which will run between 10am and 3pm. We will, however, begin our Happy Hours in the new year. Check back to get the scoop.


So if you have time and would like to venture out, please join us for a fun little tag! Thank you to all who participated.

Week 3: FREE Make & Take THIS Saturday!

Hello Everyone!

Well, here we are at week 3 of 4 for our Christmas tags. If you haven't been in yet, why not stop in and take 5 minutes for yourself this Saturday (between 10AM & 3PM) and enjoy this adorable tag. We will be embossing Inkadinkado's Season's Greetings stamp on some Basic Grey paper, working with Hero Arts self-adhesive pearls and a little ribbon (of course). It is just too fun!

Yeah for me! I got this post up a whole 8.5 hours early this week! I am a new woman now that Coulter is sleeping through the night!!

Free Make & Takes THIS Saturday

Have you ever had a day go NOT according to plan....well it has been one of those days for me. Sorry I am just getting this in at approximately 11:55 PM Friday. I guess I should look at it as doing better than last week when I posted Saturdays tag on Saturday. I am in the thick of the terrible twos and it has been a little rough. On the bright side, my son (who is almost 4 months) is now ALMOST sleeping through the night! Much better than having to wake up to feed every 2 or 3 hours! Now if only I could get them on the same schedule....

Here is the little tag we are making for this Saturdays A Dickens of a Christmas. The project is FREE so come out and have a little fun with us. We will be working with some fun decorative paper, flowers, ribbon and some fun Making Memory letter stickers that we just got in. I cannot believe how many stickers you get for just under three bucks.

There will be two more tags before Christmas. You will notice that these projects are quite simple. We are gearing these for the first time paper crafter and children. We are hoping to start up our Happy Hours again in the new year. These make and takes will be a little more involved.....more details about this will follow.

Sweet Dreams...

A Crop-a-what?!?!?!

I know when I start talking about scrapbooking and stamping products, my hubby has to grab for his handy decoder book that I made for him to know what the heck it is that I am talking about. I actually have a matching one that I use when he starts talking about his fantasy football league! I'm sure many of you have this same problem! This is why we have decide to have our Christmas Wish Lists available again this year. Come in.....write down exactly what you need/want and leave it with us. When your family comes in we will work with them (and their budget) to make sure their shopping experience is as easy as possible. We also have gift cards available if they would prefer to go that route.

This is so hilarious, but when I was looking for a photo of a crop-a-dile to upload for the blog, I came across a posting on YouTube on how to use a crop-a-dile. They really DO have everything on that site. I have attached it for your amusement or information. Check it out! I wonder if this girl is getting a commission from We R for this!!!
