Weekly Update:

January 25, 2005

We're off and running! By the time you read this we will be off to Las Vegas for our annual CHA trade show!

We are so excited, and can hardly wait to see all the great, new stuff out there! One of the nice benefits of being a member of Crafter's Home is that we will have the opportunity to preview products from all the major manufacturers three days prior to the show opening. This allows us to place our orders prior to the show opening, guaranteeing that our orders will ship before anyone else's! What's that mean for you, our customer, you ask...??? It means that not only do we carry the latest and greatest products, but we will have them before anyone else does!

It's been another busy week here and I've been trying to wrap up some loose ends before we head out of town. The February calendar is up on the website but not all of the class projects are photographed. I must tell you, we have some fabulous workshops scheduled for February. Be sure to check them out on the Calendar page. All of the samples are available for viewing in the store. We are also busy planning more celebrity class for the spring! Great things are in the works! You're gonna love what we have planned for you!

Not all of this weeks products will be shown in this E-mail because I'm sending it early, so be sure to stop in and see what else has come in, after our departure! We'll be back on February 2nd, full of new ideas and inspiration. Watch for updates as we prepare another awesome preview for you!

Wow! What a week! I apologize for not getting the update out last week, but it's been crazy around here! It's been sooooooooooo busy that my head has been spinning. Our celebrity class with Julie Johnson was fabulous! Both classes were sold out and wow, what incredible classes they were. The technique she taught was so out of the box! Julie had a ball, and can't wait to come back! Her talent is definitely beyond the norm. She's already making a list of other celebrities for us to bring in. Once a quarter we plan to bring in a celebrity and offer unique technique classes for you. One more way we keep raising the bar! You'll never guess who we're bringing in next! Stay tuned.

Happy New Year! Can you believe it's the new year already? The holidays are behind us, and if you are like me, you've started working on that resolution list! I know besides dieting and setting aside some time for myself this year, I also listed my scrapbooking as a priority! It seems this is one of many items that remain on my list each year. Some years I'm more successful than others! The new year also means organization. We have taught several organizational classes in the past and have some great items to help aid you in that area. The best storage system I have ever seen are the Mini Stackables! Check them out on the Product Highlights Page! We sold so many of them during the holidays so I know many of you are enjoying the organization they provide. If you are looking for that Pottery Barn style, then you'll be excited about what we have coming this spring. I'll give you a hint: Canvas, totes, cool colors, great storage. You'll love it! Stay tuned for more details.

New Years Day Sale:  Thank you to each of you that came on New Year's Day and were patient and kind during your long wait in the check out line. I hope your bargains made the wait worth while! The fact that so many of you left your baskets with credit card info for us to ring up later, really did make a difference. We were able to ring up all of those sales after we closed, and have them bagged and ready, for people to pick up on Monday! What a great day it was. Now we're busy rearranging, moving shelves and displays, and preparing for more new products!

January Workshops are filling fast and our two Guest Celebrity Workshops are almost full. Kris's Calendar Clipboard is on display in the store as well as pictured on the Calendar Page of our website. It is so adorable. You won't want to miss any of these January classes. Check out the Foof-A-La Tin, The Quick Quotes Canvases and the Anna Griffin samples also. A great way to start the new year off and get you motivated.
