These Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things...

For the next few days we thought it would be fun to share with you some of the staff's favorite gift giving ideas...some are new, some are old, but all of them are favorites and would make a perfect gift for everyone on your list...including yourself!

Today I'll share my all time favorite product ever...the 7 Gypsies Printer Tray! Here are some sample images I found on the internet...enjoy...




7 Gypsies makes several styles of the printers tray, but I especially love this original 12 frame one. It holds 12 ATC sized cards, photos, ephemera and more, and will make a real statement displayed on your wall full of your treasured artwork and photo memories. I've decorated several of these for gifts and always find it hard to part with them...

Here is a version by Tim Holtz...holiday style...don't you just love it!


We've got lots of 7 Gypsies and Tim Holtz goodies to adorn your tray, too, such as knobs, baubles, grungeboard, clips, chains, buttons, and much more! Come on in a take a closer look...

See You Soon...
Make Someone Happy!

Ginny's Favorite!

Last week we received this die from Lifestyle Crafts...

Ginny featured this bakery box during the Lifestyle Crafts demo on Saturday...this very versatile die has quickly become her favorite...she thinks it would make the perfect stocking stuffer for yourself or a friend!

She made some adorable projects with the 'Just For You' release...


Nice to take a break from holiday shopping and enjoy a demo with friends...



Ginny featured the bakery box die in the Monthly Kit with the Santa Hat Club Die...how cute is this...


NEW! and just in From Lifestyle Crafts..."Countdown"... perfect for your New Years Eve parties or any celebration...confetti, streamers, clock, party icons and labels...what a fun set of dies!



New magazines, too...come in and take a look...

Thanks for stopping by!

Mistletoe Marketplace

We were thrilled to once again to host a fantastic arts and crafts sale featuring some of our very favorite and most talented local artists....Ginny Babineau...Laurie Garcia...Attie Holmes...Julie Nutting...and Laura Palm...





I saw...beautiful handmade totes, soldered jewelry, crocheted scarves, burlap owls, fancy berets, knitted scarves, collage art, handmade cards and tags, pictures, feather earrings, pillows, headbands, hand painted ornaments, flower pins, wall hangings, felted stockings, original prints, and more...really there was something for everyone...




Laura gave an impromptu demo on making 'magical stars'...a bit harder to make than they look perhaps?


We hope you enjoyed this afternoon as much as we did!

Make Someone Happy...
