Weekly Update:
|
April 27, 2007
Can you believe it's the end of April already?
Honestly, the days just fly by way too fast for
me! I know, no weekly update the past couple of
weeks. There just haven't been enough hours in
the day to accomplish all that's needed to be
done, so I had to give myself permission to let
go of a few responsibilities. Sorry, sometimes
you just gotta let go and say, "it's ok!" I even
managed to get away for a few days of much
needed R&R. Again, with permission
granted, you just gotta let go. It's like
housework, it's all still going to be waiting
for you tomorrow!
Lots of fun things in the works around here.
We've also been busy planning our summer
activities. Wow, do we have some fun things
planned! No lazy summer days around here, that's
for sure. We'll keep you posted as the details,
dates and events unfold.
What's happening Here & Now:

Website Issues:
We're having some minor
problems with our website, and of course it's
Friday, so they won't be resolved until next
week! We are unable to add any more images to
our weekly update page, and a few of our pages
are currently inaccessible, so I can't update
them at the present. Please pardon us, until we
are able to resolve these issues. When it comes
to computers, it's always something, isn't it?
Page Contest:
Deadline for voting on this months pages
displayed, is Monday. we'll announce the winners
on Tuesday, May 1st! Hurry in and cast your vote
and be sure to pick up a kit for May, for
yourself. You too, could be a lucky winner of a
store gift certificate. You'll have until May
15th, to complete it! There are only a few May
kits left, so be sure to pick one up soon.
National
Scrapbook Day: All I Can Say Is Wow!
We can hardly wait for our big weekend event!
Our
MFM
elves have been filling all the goodie bags,
bundling all the raffle prizes, and assembling
all the fun Make & Takes! The food has all been
ordered, the hotel is ready and waiting for our
arrival, and we're just counting down the days!
one luck gal, will even walk away with the
Grand-Daddy of all prizes! A

over 150 prizes to give away! This annual event
is sure to become a

tradition!
Memorial
Day Event:
Watch your E-mails, 'cause we have something fun
planned for this special day. I promise, you
won't want to miss it!

SDU (Basic Scrapbooking Course):
For the first time we will be offering our
incredible basic course during the week.
Traditionally, we have taught this intense
program on weekends, but we thought, we'd shake
it up a little during the summer. If you have
wanted to take this wonderful class, but haven't
been able to, perhaps our June dates will work
for you. We'll teach you everything you need to
know in this two part class. From design and
layout to color, matting and more, you'll be
ready to tackle any project.
Session One: Thursday, May 31st 10 am - 5
pm
Session Two: Thursday, June 7th 10 am - 5
pm
We've gotten in so many wonderful new products.
I just keep planning more and more projects to
do. I just hope I'll be able to find the time to
do them! I'm not kidding, this stuff is so cute,
I just want one of everything (or two...or
more), especially the acrylic stamps... I just
WANT THEM ALL!!! If you haven't been in for
awhile, now's the time to be here! You know the
MFM
motto... here today...gone by next week!
Die Cut Center:
We are really excited about our new die cut
templates. We are going to be able to assist you
in making everything from invitations and
envelopes to tag books, 12 x 12 puzzles and lots
more. The possibilities are endless and we can
hardly wait to get it all up and running. Give
us a couple of weeks though, because there's a
great deal of organizing to do!
This Weeks New Products:

Brand New dies, say good-bye to guessing about
designing all your invitations and cards. These
dies are so cute that you'll have your
invitations and cards done in a jiffy! Bride and

April 13, 2007
I
know it's Friday the 13th, but I don't believe
in Superstition. My beliefs lie in something
greater than just, luck. So, we won't be
throwing salt over our shoulders today, or
walking around ladders. Today is just like any
other day, the sun is shining, the flowers are
blooming, God is in His Heaven, and I am
reminded once again, how very blessed I am, to
be alive, and well!
As I sat at a luncheon yesterday, for another
one of the many, wonderful charities, that our
community opens it's arms too, I was once again,
reminded of how fortunate I am, and of the
responsibility I have been given, to do my part
in helping others. While I don't broadcast what
I do on a personal level, or through our store,
I do want you to know, that we are doing our
part to make a difference. We are all called
upon to make our mark on the world. I am blessed
knowing we have touched lives, and even more
blessed by the lives that have touched me.
The spirit of giving doesn't just come in the
form of money, it can be service and time and
well. I just want to take this opportunity to
thank a very special person with a true
servants heart. This gal has given up many
hours, sometimes late into the night,
volunteering in the store. During these busy
days of incredible product deliveries, she has
helped to unpack product, price it, put it out,
re-arrange it (sometimes, multiple times) and
has even assisted customers, in very busy times!
She has done all of this, without asking for
anything in return! This just seemed like an
appropriate time for saying "Thank You",
publicly, to this very special lady, for her
gift of friendship and service.
Sheri,
you are a blessing, and we are most grateful for
your help. Thank You!

We are excited about our
Scarlett Letter Day,
tomorrow! Our EK Success order that
arrived last week, is one of the largest of the
year. About $8,000.00 in product. I have to tell
you, there is some really cool stuff too. From
Disney to the new paper crafting Art Blanche
line, there is a lot to get excited about. Be
sure to join us Saturday from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
as Scarlett demonstrates all the new tools and
also leads you through some fun and creative
Make & Takes! Her talent is on a level all of
it's own! Come see some of her very, special
work.

Calling For All Page Contest Entries: If you
haven't turned your pages in yet, you are
running out of time! Entries are due by
Sunday! Voting begins on Monday the 16th. Be
sure to check them out on the back bulletin
board. It's amazing how different each one is.
All I can say is, I'm glad I'm not the one
voting, 'cause they're all great!

Today is also the deadline for booking your
Hotel room for our National Scrapbook Day
Retreat! If you haven't made your
reservation yet, be sure to do so! It's going to
be an amazing time. We've been working on the

in store. Don't miss the fun!
So much going on, so much fun to enjoy! Come be

April 7, 2007
Happy Easter Everyone. I hope you have a very
blessed Easter, and for our Jewish friends,
Happy Passover. I hope you also had a very
blessed holiday.
This has been one of the busiest weeks we've had
so I don't have time to write all the news
today. Suffice it to say, in the E-mail itself,
is the news regarding our crop, this weeks
workshop, and our EK Scarlett Letter Day. I hope
next week will allow me more time to write the
Update. Being busy though, is a good thing!
There just aren't enough hours in the day to
accomplish everything, that's all!
We have had so many boxes arrive this week, that
we can even post all the images in the product
update. You'll just have to stop in and see it
all for yourself. Does telling you we are
completly out of display racks, paper trays and
hooks tell you anything? Even though we have
been incredibly busy, with so much product
arriving daily, every time a hook or a tray is
emptied... it fills again with something new!
You gotta love that!
Anyway, stop in... you'll be amazed!
