New from Fiskars and Autumn Leaves...

Well, as you can tell by the amount of time I am blogging, the store has been busy with crops and classes and some new things are coming in as well. This week we didn't receive a lot because of the short week, but all the Ranger Paint Dabbers and Inks are back in stock. Things were looking a little sparse in the color section of the store. It has now been officially fixed!

Along with that we got two small orders. One was from Fiskars and they are packages of assorted chipboard pieces. Three different sets of alphabets, shapes, hearts and photo corners. These little packages are loaded with great product ready for all your painting and inking (and we have them!!).

We also received a new line for us from Autumn Leaves. It is called Manhattan and uses pretty tans, taupe, sage green and blue greens with shades of brown. There are 7 choices in the papers along with alphabet stickers, journaling stickers and wonderful chipboard words that have foil accents along with pretty epoxy brads.
That's it for this week. Hopefully I will post again shortly. Maybe I'll even show you some projects I have been working on. Have a great weekend. Jane

Other than the new stock, we had a great class last night and created some really cute cards! Tonight we have a crop until 11pm, so if you want to check out the new stock, feel free to stop by. Jane

I'm not MIA anymore!!!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately. Last week my time was taken up with rehearsals and dress rehearsals and performances! My daughter was in Annie last weekend at a local Children's Theater group and my time just got sucked away. On top of which, I worked every night last week also! This week should be a lot more relaxed and I just wanted to post pictures of the new beautiful Prima Flowers and gems that arrived last week. There are great clear stamps also! Stop by and check them out!! The bottom picture is actually beautiful gem strips in assorted colors. The picture does not do them justice and they are selling like hotcakes!!! Also, today when I checked in, I learned that my Basic Gray order arrived today. Can't wait to see the goodies in these boxes. Hopefully I will get to snap pictures and post them before the end of the week. Have a great one. Jane

Back from Vacation!!!

Well, we are back from Puerta Vallarta, Mexico all tan and relaxed. We had a wonderful time enjoying the sun, sand and Margaritas!!! My daughter loved eating her way through Mexico, but her favorite thing was swimming with the dolphins. I totally loved the experience also, and recommend it to anyone thinking about doing it!!

Now back to work!!! We have lots of classes and crops coming into the store for May, June and July, and I am proud to say that I actually have my own classes booked through July 1st. I think this is truly a record for me!!! Check out the schedule on our newly revamped website at www.thecrazycropper.net. Last week we received orders from Tinkering Ink, Maya Road and Sonburn Designs (all pictured in order below). There are great new chipboard alphabets from Sonburn with a great little bag of colored shapes to match. These are sure to sell out quickly!

I know that two orders which everyone will jump on have currently been shipped and are in the hands of UPS. They are...drum roll...Basic Gray and Prima Flowers. They should get here most likely next week after Wednesday and I will open and snap pictures as fast as I can.

Other than that, I hope you all have a great Mothers Day!!!
