Good morning,

Last week was just so busy in the store and the prepping for Toronto that I didn't have time to send some samples of cards that Louise and I made, using our new stamps.  Even though I've posted them here, they won't likely be in the store until next Tues.  You can call to reserve them if you'd like.

Also, Isabelle is working for a worthy cause where all proceeds go to fund scholarships for McGill students.  It's a book fair and the books are ridiculously inexpensive, on Oct. 20 and 21 at the Redpath Hall...here is the link:   http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-books-McGill-Book-Fair-Foire-aux-livres-McGill-W0QQAdIdZ235907219

Have a great week and once I'm back we'll have Make N Takes in the store using all of our new stamps, and once again, the new punch from McGill.

Good morning everyone!

What a beautiful day, although a little nippy this morning.  I'm going to forego a turkey dinner (which I love), in order to hopefully have goose...Actually I hope to photograph the migration of the Snow Geese in Montmagny.

There are still a few spots left in the Just Rite 2 class.  You will be making a cute pop-up card which folds flat into an envelope as well as 2 others.  I've included the samples here.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy your turkey!

Good morning everyone!

I've been a bit short on words this week and will be glad when the Toronto show is just a hopefully pleasant memory.  It's not like having a show in Montreal, where if you forget your hooks or stamps pads, you can just go back and pick them up.

We received some new punches which punch and emboss and are fantastic for embellishing cards.  The poinsettia comes in 2 sizes so you can layer.  You just punch out your paper, then place the piece into the embosser and voilà!  The paper is embossed.  There are also flowers and leaves, including a beautiful gingko leaf.

We still have a few places in the Star Book class tomorrow afternoon.  This makes a wonderful gift for Christmas.  You can put family photos, or little messages in it as well as having it as a centerpiece, or even hang it up as a decoration.  We will be using the new paper from Bo Bunny which was in my last Blog.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Bonjour!

What a day we had.  Everyone seemed to like the demo of the Lily/Poinsettia.  It's so easy and so spectacular when finished.  We sold out but will hopefully be receiving some more on Friday.  Thank you Sandie for your great samples and explanation.

We also received some of the Christmas Bo Bunny paper.  The colours are not typical for Christmas but so refreshing.  I've included 4 of the swatches. 

Have a great weekend,

Bonnie
