Too many cartridges to carry?? Wait until you see what I will be having for you.....

Okay so how many of you out there have more than 5 Cricut Cartridges and just don't know how to store those bad boys?? Or how about those bottles of Ranger Stickles that you all keep buying from me and I keep saying you need to store them upside down but you keep asking "How do I do that when I keep them in my tote?"

Well I finally have found the perfect storage solution for both of those items and I have to thank Pam L for sharing her recent find with me!!! Pam when I see you next time I have a special little gift for you! Okay so now everyone else is wondering what it could be right?? It's called the "Scrap Caddy" and it's a really unique way of storing all of those Cricut carts AND the Jukebox!!! OH and you can store your stickles upside down!!!! It's very portable too!!!

Here is a link to give you a look into their line of products.

http://www.scrapcessories.com/index.cfm?page=news

Now I have already been in touch with this company and although they were only going to sell to just brick and mortar stores, once they read my email and saw that I pamper to women at day and weekend crops and I felt that YOU ladies would LOVE their line, they decided they would allow me to also be able to carry their products!!!!!

I am getting ready to place my first order with them next week and I anticipate these will go quickly so if you want to pre- order please email me at cmonarch@ptd.net

Also new items due to arrive any day buttons, buttons and more buttons, new lines from Pink Paislee and My Mind's Eye....Yumm!!!!!

Keep those trimmers sharp

and those tape runners full!!!

Happy Scrappin'

Back from my Summer Break......

Okay so I am back from my summer break and ready to see

all those great pics everyone has taken :)

What were all those great and amazing places you and

your family visited over these past few months??

So why not come out and get those pictures

onto a layout....

Making Memories with Morey....

What a great time we all had this past Saturday at

the Making Memories with Morey crop !!! Kelli and

Alicia really out did themselves from the over flowing

goodie bags, to the door prizes, to the wonderful spread

of food that they had donated by Momento's Pizzeria, to

finally to raffle prizes that they got donated!!!! Oh let me tell

you ladies if you didn't make it to this one you really missed

out on a FANTASTIC EVENT!!!! I think EVERYONE walked

away with something!!!!

This was their first time ever doing an event like this, but you

would never have know it. Alicia emailed me later that night

to let me know that they have decided to make a

Meetup.com page to hold more crops in the future as a way

to raise funds for their PTO. I think that is a great idea !!!

Keep an eye on my blog as I will post a link to their Meetup.com

page and will always have the dates of their crops right here for

you gals!!!

I also would like to thank Kelli and Alicia for having me as

one of their vendors at this event!! It was such a pleasure

to be a part of this and to work with the both of you!!

Until next time my friends,

Keep those trimmers sharp and those

tape runners full :)

Midland Crop Follow Up....

I want to take this time to thank Kathy Tauscher of the

Midland School for having me as a vendor at their 3rd

annual Midland Crop! I had such a great time getting to

know all the attendees, some of which have children that

attend the school. The school itself it just amazing,

with it's huge gym and rockwall I can see how the children

that attend enhance not only their motor skills but their

self esteem as well!!

Kathy and her "Ladies in Blue" did such an amazing job

tending to everyone's needs and the prizes were

never ending!

I just received an email from Kathy letting me know that

this was their BEST year ever and that they raised over

$3,000.00!!! Thanks to all of you that came out to this

event and made this happen. Kathy went on to say that

they are looking forward to being able to get some great

stuff for the students and the teachers at the Midland

School.

If you were not able to attend the event but would still like to make a

donation you may do so by sending it to:

Kathy Tauscher

c/0 The Midland School

P.O. Box 5026 Readington Road

North Branch NJ, 08876

Until next time my friends, keep your tape runners full and your trimmers

sharp:)

New Product Lines...

As many of you have heard, the direct sales company,

I Remember When,has closed their doors. Unfortunately

that is the company that I was signed up with and how

I was able to deliver all the latest and greatest in scrapbooking

merchandise. but have no fear ladies, I am going no

where. Just because there will no longer be an IRW,

it does not mean that I won't be able to deliver the goods

to all of you. In fact I will now be able to bring you even

better stuff than before!! I just got done placing orders with

Pink Paislee and a new company called jillibean-soup and for

all of you of the Jewish faith I have found a supplier called

Shalom Scrapper who has the greatest papers and die cuts that

I will now be able to supply for you!! These companies are so

quick to ship too!! I just placed my first order with jillibean last

night and received an email this morning letting me know that

my order is ready to ship!! Talk about fast WOW!! So I am so

excited to be able to bring these new manufacturers to all of

you.Some you have heard of and some you may not have.

There are many more that I have set up accounts with and

are placing orders with.If there is anything particular that you

are looking for please feel free to make a post or email me

directly.I hope to see you at one of the crops listed on the

calendar of events as my inventory will now be much

bigger than before!! I will be having a sale bin to move out

some of the old stuff as well so be sure to look for that.

Until next time my friends, keep your trimmers sharp and your tape runners filled!

Your Scrapping Buddy~
