• What’s New Around CSS??

OMG! We have been SO, SO BUSY this week! We (of course) moved a BUNCH of stuff around! We know that it can be a little frustrating not being able to find things that you used to know where they were… believe me, even WE get frustrated sometimes! But we don’t do it to confuse you! We do it to make things fit better, allow for more space on the floor, display things clearer and to put “like” items together.

A few sections/items with new homes include:

·        California – it’s now between General Travel and Domestic Travel

·        Outdoors/Water Sports we moved this entire section of wall to the left. It is now right next to Beach.

·        Birthday is on the front wall right next to Calendar (so now, when looking at that wall, it’s Outdoors/Water Sports, Calendar, Birthday)

·        Tim Holtz - he is back on the opposite side of the store where Birthday was, right next to Adhesives

·        Quickutz – we are still working on this section, but we are working on putting all of the QK on the entire rack (instead of a half, like it was) and that rack has been moved to the other side of the store – near all of the Tools.

·        Silhouette – We now have an extensive selection of Silhouette items (practically everything that they make) and it is temporarily on two sides of the pillar next to the classroom)

This crop will be held in the store (like we have done in the past).  Please note that drinks are no longer provided, however, we do have a soda machine in the store – drinks are 80¢ for water and $1 for sodas. We will still provide candy.

o       GRAND OPENING weekend of our new crop room!  It’s a few doors down, but will be a dedicated crop/class room for you guys! And we are offering some special prices for the first weekend!!!

§         Friday, March 5 – 10am to 8pm. 10 hours for only $10 for a FULL 6’ table to yourself!

¨      More details on our Dedicated Crop Room…

o       It is where the former “As Seen On TV Store” was… It is 1,000 square feet. It is 3 doors down from us, next to Jo-Ann’s.

o       There is a bathroom.

o       We start demolition on the interior walls on Monday, 2/15. Then, we will have the former floor taken up and ground down. At that point, we will epoxy seal the floor and paint the walls.

o       The space has a basin for washing out your paint brushes.

o       There is a back security door that can be opened during crops for some ventilation, while being locked and feeling safe and secure!

o       We are collecting menus of local restaurants. We will have a map of local dining, plus the menus and details in a book for your review if you need to get something to eat while you are there.

o       The space will be open every Friday through Sunday – but only certain days per month will be open for a late night.

o       Late night crops will probably be two Fridays a month and one Saturday a month until 11pm.

o       If you want to get some girlfriends together and crop on a Monday thru Thursday? If you have 6 or more, we will open the crop room. (otherwise, you can still crop at the store).

o       Yes, you will still be able to shop and crop – you’ll run a tab with us at the store just like normal and just pay on the way out!

o       BTW, this room will also offer us the opportunity to hold AMAZING classes with scrapbook celebrities and our own local celebrity: KATIE WATSON! So, we can allow SO many more people into our classes now! Classes of 12 or less will still be held at the store, but larger classes will be moved to our crop room!

o       We will have an ipod and ipod player that you can borrow (you’ll leave your credit card as security).

o       YES! There are PLENTY of outlets for your Cricuts and Slice Machines!  I can’t remember, but I think that there are 14 in the suite? Please remember to bring your own extension cord – at this point, we will not be providing them.

o       Any other questions??? Just send us an email!

¨      Absolutely ends today!

¨      See a copy of our Email for some of the details!

• Quickutz

¨      We received two phone calls yesterday asking about the 2” Quickutz and there was some confusion, so I wanted to clear that up… Our Individual 2” Quickutz dies are now a new low price EVERYDAY

¨      SingleKutz (RS) were $6.99, Now $3.99!!!

¨      DoubleKutz (KS) were $12.99, Now $6.99!

¨      No coupon necessary

¨      No additional discounts

• Speaking of Quickutz…

¨      We moved them yesterday!! (I know, I know… you are SHOCKED!) We are always trying to use our space better. We moved them over by rubber stamps (where the bookcases for storage used to be). It is allowing us to put more of the stamps closer together (our main goal).

• Ribbon Wall:

¨      Bonnie and Shannon took on the ominous task of reorganizing the ribbon wall… WOW! It looks great! I’ll try to post a picture later! J

• Don’t forget…

¨      Laser Die Cuts!  Geez! We received a HUGE order! LOTS AND LOTS of popular topics, plus some custom ones like “East Coast Trip” and Jamestowne. I don’t have the invoice with me, so I can’t give you a better list, but there were a LOT!

¨      Custom School Ribbons – Westview, Mt Carmel, Serra, Aztecs and a few other schools are in. We are waiting for a few more still…

• Floors:

¨      Dad worked on more of the floors yesterday… WOW! They are looking REALLY good! He is trying to finish the entire store before heading back east. So, we apologize for any inconvenience while you are trying to shop – we have only small areas blocked off at any one time. All of the racks are still mostly accessible while Dad is working and all of us would be happy to help you if you need assistance!
