Vintage Card Class

You will love my Vintage Card Class. This is right up my alley, as those of you know from visiting the store. I relish the times of old when life was gentile, classy and welcoming. You will get the same feel from the cards that will be made in this class. Here is me with some samples.

Early Bird Instructor!

Diana Crick, the originator of the Scor-Pal is already working on her card kits. She is making four awesome cards for her class. Yay Diana!

--check out her informative site at http://www.scor-pal.com

Are you a single traveller?

Donna is still looking for singles to match up for double occupancy cabins so if you can't find a cabin mate but still want to join us, we can help! Call Donna at 1-800-299-0817 for more info.

Classes - Cool Little Extras

Wow! Each of the instructors are going to have fun and unexpected surprises for their classes. Diana Crick is going to introduce a new product. Maureen Holanti is going to have draws and prizes. I am going to have some free products along with the kits. Those of you who have signed up will love the fun and the good times.
---Those of you who haven't signed up yet, please do...you will not be disappointed.

We're on Facebook

We have a Facebook Page! Please join us there. You will see some fun card samples and other tidbits. If you are a member of Facebook, just search for "Sailing with Scissors" and join this page as a friend.

Bus Information

Donna will be contacting those cardmakers who have already booked the cruise to pay for the bus. Please be expecting her call. Thanks.

Great Prices Ending Soon!

Donna just gave me a call and broke the bad news. We are able to keep our awesome prices for a limited time - then the pricing increases. If you know anyone, who is hemming or hawing about the cruise, tell them to book ASAP. Call Donna at 604-464-7447 before the pricing increases.

My Cherished Chicks and Chuck at team meeting

Here are my Cherished Chicks and Chuck (my husband Andrew) who work hard in the store. I could not have done it without them. Baby Chick (our daughter Ella) was doing her best Greta Garbo "I want to be alone" impression - no pic for her. You can see the back of her little head, in daddy's arms.
-We discussed the cruise so all the Chicks and Chuck are well informed. They can answer your questions, or know where to find the answers.
If you would like to put a name to voice of the person you give your credit card information to, here they are:
Striped Shirt - Lori, Black shirt - Annie, Black shirt (on left) - Laura, White Sleeves - Chriss, Light Green Sweater - me, Jessie. Above Jessie, standing - Doreen, the guy - Andrew, back of toddler's head - Ella.
These are my Cherished the Thought Team! Yay!!!

Detour to Stampadoodle in Bellingham

When you think there can't be anymore great news, I have more to tell you:
On Friday Sept 10th when the bus picks us up at the store, Cherish the Thoughts to cross the border and get us to the pier in Seattle, we will have a detour at Stampadoodle in Bellingham. We are meeting at the store at 6:30 am. I know it's early but that means the fun starts early too! We are leaving early so that we can beat the other buses across the border and have time to do a bit of shopping of Stampadoodle. Thanks to Steve Swartz who will open the store early for us.
