ScrapPink!

Terry-Lynn Thomas & Martha Klassen rockin' the Pink Tee's & PJ's.
Scrapbookers, much like poker players, stand up when things get stressful!
This "all-in moment" is brought to you by Arlee Sebryk.

Paula Ford & Michelle Gier share a smile.
Perhaps they've just finished discussing the "Lift & Jiggle" technique.



I've got moves you've never seen....



..............and might never want to!
Here I am doing my best impression of Chris Farley's Chippendale routine.
Only when I look at these, do I realise how truly "unfunny" I am. Can't help it, the Pink apron just makes me feel like dancin'.

Panty Raid...........

Donning a ScrapPink apron just wasn't enough for these fabulous fundraising scrapbookers!
Arlee Sebryk (far right) won a prize for wearing the most Pink, but the competition was fierce!

ScrapPink!

We raised $505.00!
(And as Kathy Roberts told us today, every little bit counts. That's more than enough to drive a patient to their next chemo treatment.)
All of the proceeds will be split between the Susan G. Komen Foundation ( a breast cancer charity chosen by Better Homes & Gardens) & the Canadian Cancer Society.
Kathy Roberts, a survivor of Breast Cancer, spoke to us today about prevention & detection. She brought fabulous pamphlets for us to read, and those handy little charts to put in our showers.
Sobeys Okotoks donated snacks (pink drinks! pink meringues! and strawberry shortcake!) & pink roses for each of the ladies who cropped.
Thank You (Big Time!) to everyone who helped make this event a success!

Inspiration....



Last night I pulled out this magazine, not expecting that it might keep me up for another hour while I devoured each idea. It did.
This magazine reminds me of my new friend Starr who is always trying to make her life beautiful. (And fabulously succeeding!). When I read her Blog, or am lucky enough to get to "craft" with her, I always say to myself " I wish I had the time....". Well, enough is enough.
I am going to make the time.
I am going to make...stuff.

This magazine got me very excited to teach the Christmas Topiaries class I have planned for November. Also watch for the totally cute Desktop Calendar & what might be my favourite night of the year..... Tags & Treats Night.
Pick up a copy of this magazine. Seriously inspiring.

Another reason....

I stole this picture off of the DaisyD's website. So if you come to the store tomorrow, and it is not open, the copyright police have gotten me :)
I just loved how they showcased the new products (which we now have available in store!). The papers are gorgeous. And the the details....oooooh! Great buttons, flowers & ribbons! But best of all, are the totally smart rub-on phrases and stickers. The "arrows" are flying off the shelves!
Beautiful for fall.... You must check these out!

This just in.........

Scenic Route Papers "Ashville" & "Sumner" have arrived. Come check out these fabulous double-sided papers. My personal favouite is the Kraft style paper, so smart! Also look for matching cardstock packs (by Bazzill), RubOns, Stickers, Chipboard & THE BEST die cuts.

Why?


Didn't someone think of this sooner?
The ribbon iron by Pebbles Inc. is pure genius. It heats up quick and actually gets hot. I love it.

I'm gonna need more time....


The Bailey & McKenna collections are here. They are too cute. I considered closing the store and scrapbooking all day (these papers are perfect for wedding pages!). Instead, I will spend the day unpacking the boxes I have sitting here. Don't forget to come stock up on older items and recieve 25% off your entire purchase* until the 8th.
