Shopping for a new sign...
My Sign Saga....
Many of my regulars know all about my sign drama and probably others of you have seen the post that has been loitering at the top of the weblog on the store site about the frozen ground. So last night (on my birthday - mind you ) we spend the majority of the evening trolling the pipe isles of the local building supply store. If this was boring to me, imagine how it was for our 8 year old dd. After a cute conversation with the help on that isle (really nice gentleman that was a machinist by trade) we have all our gear in hand and are ready to check out.
I have to tell you that I am a bit leary about the whole thing. My DH and the landlord ( a builder by profession) have concocted this course of action to help me be able to get the sign in the ground during the winter frozen months. After having the proceedure carefully explained and pictures drawn (so I can get a 'visual') I gave the ok. The plan includes some nifty extensions that should help propel the signage up above the cars that park curbside. All this with the great desire on my part for people to be able to find me.
Since having this little business I have been ever so impressed on the importance of good signage and the ability for people to be able to see where you are. A few local restrictions have not made this easy on me. Add this to the fact that signage is darn expensive and much of my stress has come from trying to get this just right and legal.
Construction begins this afternoon. So....look for the sign again - up higher !! and in its place all year round. Wish us luck. Time will tell when the snows come if the place holders that will be put into the ground will be accessable. But I have high hopes for this - at least when there isn't snow. Trying to shove the triangulared legs of a metal sign into frozen earth is not high on my list first thing in the AM when I am still frozen from my treck across town (its a blessing we live close to the shop - but in the winter that means I'm at work before the vehicle is warm - let alone ME! ;).
And thanks DH! for standing out in the cold today to get this situation a little aid. Hurry over so you can get started. Its actually 37 degrees here today (compared to the 22 you would have had to deal with yesterday) . Glad we waited.
UPDATE: It Worked!!! Its a little weird carrying out these long black poles - but hey -- at least my sign is back up. First person to stop by the shop and talk to me about the sign will receive a special gift!

My New Toy!
It's not really new, but its not one of my regulars that I have used for years. I've actually only owned if a short while and like a lot of things, have left it on the shelf more than in my work area. But last week, when I was going mini-book crazy again (as I sometimes do) I pulled it out and found a ton of fun things online to do with it.
Besides 3 mini books, I made a triangular gift box (could be an ornament if made smaller) and a gift bac from an envelope!
Fun!
If you want to learn how - schedule a class at STI! and we'll teach you.
But you might want to order one of these toys when you are done LOL!!!

Little Mini's
I have always loved little mini albums. Since I started my scrapbooking business as an event retailer/vendor I have spent hours creating every kind of little mini album I can figure out how to create.
When the Bind-it-All came out I was in absolute heaven. I love all the things you can do with it (and it only got better when it came in pink LOL!!).
This week is all about mini's again. I have put out in the shop several mini albums. One, in fact, that can be made from one sheet of paper. Its a perfect little pocket book for notes, for a series of little gift cards for some one on your gift list, or for you to organize your shopping or coupon planning. Make one for the grandma's and have everyones picture in a pocket along with a little holiday wish just from them to gram.
Call the shop or come by and schedule a private class. It doesn't take too long and you can make the pocket book and go home and embellish it in 20 minutes you have a cute, hand-made gift.
Gift ideas and Scrap-To-It! help you get around to all the things on your list this holiday season.
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Songs and a Special Thank You!
I love Christmas music, as a rule. There are some that aren't my favorite like that repatitive 12 Days of Christmas. However, the 12 Days of Christmas does make a great song to turn in to great holiday sales promo. Have you been watching the store site? So far this week we have had papers, embellishments, kits and now Tim Holtz products on sale. Each day it is something different and each day it is 15-25% off. Its our way to give back to you this Christmas for all of your great support during the year.
We are so very grateful for all of our wonderful customers. It is so true in this business that we become great friends, almost family. With all of the downturns in the economy and stores closing all around us, we feel very blessed to be able to look forward to another year and to bringing you more scrapbooking and stamping projects and goodies to fuel your creative fire. We feel very blessed to be able to continue to grow and build. In order to do that we do need your continued support. We appreciate very much those of you who have made Scrap-To-It! part of your personal 'stimulus plan.' What an awesome vote of confidence and loyalty. Please know that we want to do everything we can to live up to that.
We'd love to hear comments from you now that the year is drawing to a close. Tell us what kinds of things you'd like to see next year. What do you need or want from your local scrapbook store? What does the big box offer that we do not? How can we help you make the most of your shopping experiences here at Scrap-To-It! Feel free to leave any comment. We will be doing an end of the year drawing on all of those who commented and sending out a special surprize for the name drawn.
Thank you so much for being a part of our scrapbooking family. We wish you all a joyous holiday season. May it be filled with love and blessings from above.
