Breaking Quickutz news.... The Revolution cutting tool is on sale for $39.99. Can you believe that price?!!! If you've been contemplating buying one for yourself or as a Christmas gift, now is definitely the time!!

Donna Salazar taught 3 classes at the shop last Saturday. I feel safe in saying that everyone that attended had a blast. She is one creative lady and a sweetheart to boot! I knew I had to have her back so mark February 7, 2009 on your calendar today. She will be teaching 2 classes that day. I don't know what they are yet, but I know they will be fantastic.

The 2008 So Cal Shop Hop promises to be a total blast!! This year there are 38 stores participating. It has been extended to two weeks. It will span 17 days and a total of three weekends to be exact. This should give you plenty of time. If you hit 16 stores, you will be eligible to win a $50 gift certificate to your home store and a bunch of other prizes that are still rolling in from sponsors. If you hit all 38 stores you will be eligible to win one of three grand prizes.

The So Cal Shop Hop Passport will entitle you to 15% off your entire purchase at each store. If you bring your So Cal Shop Hop Tote Bag you will get an additional 5% off for a total of 20% off at all 38 participating stores.

Well, almost another month has passed without a post by me, so it's time to get busy. First off, I have the greatest new tool in the shop. It's the Crop-a-dile Big Bite and it is awesome. It has a reach of up to 6 inches and it sets on the table, so you don't have to squeeze it with your hands. They won't be shipping until early March, but you can come in and check it out. If you love it as much as I do, I can put you down for one as soon as I get my first shipment.

Next week is CHA, out biggest buying show. All the manufacturers will be there trying to outdo each other with the newest, greatest and must-have products. I'll come home with lots of catalogues, but we usually have to wait a month or two to start getting product in. I'm really excited to see what they will come up with. I have seen a few items already that interest me, by way of email, so I can't wait to see them up close and personal. I'll be at the show 2/9 - 2/12. Call me or stop by after that and I'll share my new favorites with you!

Book In A Box – Terina used the new Licorice Lane paper by Sandylion to do this project…It includes an accordion album and a beautifully decorated box to store and display…a beautiful surprise inside this pretty present. Terina is a phenomenal teacher that you won’t want to miss!! We only have space for 11 people, so sign up today.
