Good morning. This is one of the techniques I will be teaching
during the months of Feb and March 2012 in my mini class. It is using alcohol markers, vellum and Stampscapes stamps. I had so much fun and hope you will too!

Black Friday

2011-11-21T12:02:00.002-06:00

Good morning. It is a beautiful day in Ironwood. The sun is shining and the snow has stopped but left a beautiful picture. I am so sorry I haven't posted for a long time. I am about moved to my apartment and I have been very busy with that. Sunday Nov. 20th I had 8 girls here for a birthday party, where they made journals. It was lots of fun.

Friday is Black Friday and I will be opening at 8am as will several downtown Ironwood businesses. I will be running specials from 8 to noon. What a wonderful day to shop locally. Stop in and see all the new items. Make a one of a kind glass ornament for $1.00 each.

Hope to see you soon.

Sunny and perfect in Ironwood

2011-08-20T10:37:00.002-05:00

Good morning. I can't believe it took me two days to get the latest order marked and out. Why? So much new items and I had to make room. The Fall and Halloween stamps are here as are the papers. I also bought new alcohol markers and had the design team try them out. They love them. You can blend as nicely as the Copic and the price is wonderful.....5 in a set for $13.50...that's $2.70 each. What a deal!!

I have several card makers that are not stampers and I have been ordering with them in mind. Penny Black has some beautiful stickers for card making and I now have 7 different sticker sheets in stock.

Well it is a beautiful day and I hope it is as nice where you are. I'm off to finish my son's wedding invitation sample now that the order is done.
Happy Saturday! Becky

Ribbon

2011-08-06T10:02:00.002-05:00

Do you like ribbon? I love it, especially now that I can make a pretty bow. (This took forever...Tamra and Cindy makes beautiful bows) Cindy and Debra selected lots of ribbon from a new company and hopefully it will be in next week. I added a few of my own selections, after all I am the owner. ( hope it is ok with them) There will be new ideas using the ribbon, so stay tuned!

It's Iron County fair weekend, so I will be slower today. It's a beautiful day for the fair and I hope the children that came in to decorate their spaces are having a blast. This should be a good day for me to catch up on projects.

I had two ladies take a mini class yesterday. I love teaching these as it is a way for me to spend quality time with a customer.

The woodless colour pencils from Koh-I-Noor are here. They really are great to use. They are ALL color and blend so nicely. Cindy has used them on Riley the moose samples, so please stop in and admire them and try the pencils out!

Until another day...hugs!

A lazy afternoon

2011-08-04T16:40:00.002-05:00

It was a busy morning and a lazy afternoon. I have the windows open and am listening to the traffic going by. Yes there is traffic in Ironwood. One of my favorite little guys came by and he punched pink maple leaves after playing in the play area.
The Halloween and fall papers have been arriving and I can hear scrapbooking calling me. I do need to get busy as my grandson will be a senior this year and I only have about 10 pages done. Tamra was busy this morning crafting for her class coming up. The jewelry she made is beautiful. Sign up for it...August 19th. She also made a pin that would be perfect for a teacher's gift...or anyone else.

Happy crafting!

Rainy day

2011-08-02T15:00:00.003-05:00

"Rainy day in Georgia"...wait I'm in Michigan. It's really coming down, a good day to stamp. That's what I been doing....catching up on my card making. The owners of McRice papers asked me to use their card making papers and make some samples. They are so nice for "men" cards or anyone that loves the outdoors.

The newest in stamping and scrapbooking have been arriving weekly. It has been a challenge to find the perfect way to display. New fall, Halloween and Christmas stamps and papers are here. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the new products...but I'll find a way through it all. (poor me!) If you see something you would like me to carry, just email or call...leave a message here. I will do my best to get it.

Guess I better get back to the stamping. Keep dry.

I would like to thank all who visited during my anniversary here at the store. My customers are the best! I will post next week the winners from the drawings and what was won. Sorry not everyone could stop in...you were missed! Thanks to Cindy for helping on Friday with the free make n takes.

Six wonderful years!

2011-07-15T12:48:00.003-05:00

Hello...it's raining, which we need, but the Ironwood Festival is going on today and tomorrow. I hope that doesn't stop anyone from enjoying the festival. Today I'm celebrating being in business 6 years and as a "thank you" there is a big sale! Also there are FREE make n takes, something for everyone! Lots of specials and please sign up for the drawings. The "party" is today and Sat. Hope to see you here.

Beautiful day

2011-07-05T11:05:00.003-05:00

It's a beautiful day in Ironwood. I had coffee and donuts with Mom before coming in today. She wanted to come in today, but she will be here later this week. It's fun having her around. This week's 40% special is selected stickers. I received a shipment from Rubber Stamp Tapestry Stamps on Friday and love, love , love them! There are classes this week. Please check them out on facebook and also the web site. Think I will stamp some today with the new stamps. Come in and play!

July 4th

2011-07-02T10:55:00.003-05:00

I hope everyone will have a safe and happy 4th of July. My daughter is home so I will enjoy her visit. The store will be closed on Monday. I love my customers so much that I am hand staining paper to look like camoflauge. There is no job that I won't try for you. We have some very different classes coming and hope you can join in the fun! The Heartfelt Creation stamps and dies are beautiful. I have received several new items this week, including more flowers and ribbons. The new work station has gotten great reviews and have had people using it. There is no charge for it, just buy your papers and supplies from me.

Hope to see you soon!
God Bless America!

Excitement

2011-06-27T12:27:00.003-05:00

I am so excited! First thanks to Harta for the beautiful irises...I will share with my Mom. She loves flowers. The Heartfelt Creations have arrived. I hope to "play" today with the cardinal stamps and die. But then the beautiful irises may have me stamping them instead. Too many choices and not enough time in the day. Hope you are having a great day.

Paper everywhere

2011-06-23T13:11:00.003-05:00

Oh my! Paper packs everywhere! Just arrived 6 different paper packs from Graphic 45, Bo Bunny, Imaginisce, and Basic Grey. Also lots of flowers...I hope I can get to play today. It's a creative day in Ironwood!

New work area

2011-06-21T09:44:00.003-05:00

Its a rainy day in Ironwood today, which makes for a great day to stop in the store and use the new work area. I love rainy days that are a gentle watering like today. I do get sleepy, but that's ok. I think I will work on another order so I can bring you new products to make your stamping and scrapbooking pop. Riley, the moose has arrived. He has been hiking, camping and cutting wood. He is having loads of fun in the Northwoods. Guess I better get to that order. Hope to see you soon.

Tubes and wands

2011-06-20T17:38:00.002-05:00

Just arrived fun tubes and wands. Use stickers from SRM to decorate and the fun begins. Endless ways to use.

Store changes

2011-06-20T11:58:00.002-05:00

I am so excited about all the changes inside the store. There is now a "work room" where you have access to my markers, punches, tools and more. There is no charge to use this space, I only ask that you purchase your paper from me. I have 3 very talented ladies on my design team and they have been busy making new samples throughout the store. Hope to see you soon. Check back often for store news.

Welcome!
