CHA Summer update one

We have been in O-town all day at the first of our CHA meetings. We are fortunate to belong to a buying group that has vendors come to us and present their new products before the show opens. It's great to see items early and saves us time on the show floor. So, I thought I would give you an update of what we saw, and bought, today. We love lots of the new My Minds Eye, love the new Moxxie, love love SEI, love the new Making Memories, and love the new 7 Gypsies. AND we lots of samples to give away at our Scrap Pink crop. As a matter of fact, our friend Shane Cullimore at Making Memories gave us a (drumroll) PINK SLICE for us to give away at our Scrap Pink event. SWEET!

More meetings tomorrow and hopefully I will find somewhere to update the blog again. Don't forget Scrap Pink sign ups are August 15th.

The creature has risen!

  

This is how I feel when I am sick!

I am back, pretty much. It has been tough being sick during such a hectic time at the shoppe. We have so much going on, and I ended up being in bed for almost 4 days with Bronchitis. Thank goodness for everyone who stepped up to the plate and helped out this week while I was in my  drug induced delirium. Of course, this is not to be confused with my everyday delirium which you all should be used to. I am still prone to be tired (once again, thank you drugs) but I am feeling MUCH better. I really want to give a shout out to everyone who helped and please forgive me if I miss your name. Thank you to our new employee Heather who interviewed one day and started work the next. Thanks to Barb E, Barb M, Donna, Merriann, Cheryl, Nancy, our sweet Tammy Sue, Anna, the other Anna (you girls figure out who gets top billing!), Leeca, and Janice. Thank you so much. Sometimes it takes a village and our village totally ROCKS!

And of course, thanks to LEXI who is the skipper of our ship. Her Gilligan thanks her for making me lay down and rest even though the guilt was overwhelming. You are the best.

T-Shirt Packages Are Here!

If you signed up at The Scrapbook Shoppe for the CHA Supershow NON-Bus package, your t-shirts and tags are in.  Please stop by the shop to pick up.  We will also be calling this week.  We have been busily working on specials and excitement  for our booth.  We can't wait to see you all!

Vote for LOS!

 

Yes, I am going to ask again. (Sorry Vanessa, I know you don't like the Rays posts).

Anyways, we have LOTS of Rays on the AllStar team this year. If you voted the last time I asked, thanks so much. There is one final vote, for the last player. It could be CARLOS PENA, the Rays first baseman. Did you know that Carlos leads the league in homeruns? He does.  Did you know he won a golden glove last year? Yep, he did. He so needs to go to the AllStar game.

So, go to MLB and vote for Carlos. You can vote multiple times.

PS- Thanks to Pat Burrell for the walk off homerun last night in the 11th inning to win the game.

New Arrival! Edit- went to visit

Edit- I thought I would let everyone know that a few of us went to visit Anna, Derek and new Baby Greyson last night. Anna looks great. Derek is a proud Daddy. We also went in to the NICU and saw the baby. He is so perfect. Looks like his older brother Caden with his sister Kylie's nose. He looks wonderful and seems to be doing well although he will probably be in the hospital long after Anna goes home this weekend. Thought you all would appreciate the update. Anna Molina has photos so I'll upload when I can.

No, it's not product. It's a new baby.

He's a tad early, but our sweet Anna Ottens had a baby boy today. Grayson Jacob was born Tuesday, July 7th. He was 4 pounds 7 ounces and is currently in NICU. He may be there a while too. Mom is doing well.

Best wishes to Anna and Grayson! Congrats.
