Well it is that time of year again, time for a new Close To My Heart catalogue!
In light of this, I need to make room for some new stamp sets. In the next day or two, I will be taking pictures of the stamps sets I would like to sell and posting them here for you to shop.
I'm also hoping to post some 'CRAWL' pictures and maybe we'll play some guessing games again for prizes!
Also, check out my card/scrapbooking blog for some new artwork and my first posts using my Bella stamps. I've also just received some new stamps from Sweet 'N Sassy stamps that I've colored with my COPIC markers, that I hope you will enjoy!
Until then.....

Fall 'CRAWL'
Well, fun was had by all on the Fall Island Scrapbook 'CRAWL' on October 25th. We only visited 6 stores this trip and we were still short of time.
We started in Campbell River at She Runs With Scissors and C.R. Scrapbook Room. Half of the group at one store and the other 1/2 at the other. After about 40 minutes of shopping we switched. From there, we travelled on to Courtenay to Scrapbooking @ Comox Valley Computers. We continued our 40 minute shops and then most of us either went across the street to pick up something for lunch or like me, were lucky enough to have Susan Webb pick something up for them! (Thanks again, Susan!)
Then we travelled to Parksville to visit Scrapbookin' Adventures. Late in afternoon, we headed to Duncan to Treasured Memories. Once finished up there we made our last stop in Cobble Hill at The Paper Crate.
We left some passengers there, as we had stopped and picked them up in the morning at this destination. The rest of us vegetated on the bus back to Victoria!
I'll post some pictures in the next few days. I also have some Close To My Heart stamps sets I'll be garage selling to make way for new stamp sets from our January 1st release of our Spring catalogue. Stay Tuned!

Help, I have too many stamp sets......
I'm clearing out some of my stamp sets to make way for new ones from our upcoming Summer Close to My Heart catalogue. It goes live on May 1st and these sets must go before then. Here are pics and you can check your e-mail for the list of their names and prices.
Also, check out my new contest about me taking pictures. I hope to post the pic of Joanne's prize in the next day or two. So check back to see what goodies she's getting for correctly naming the three store pics I posted.
Finally, what would you think about a scrapbooking retreat in Tofino during October storm season? How about if I offerred to take you to three of my favourite Tofino photo spots while we're there? What if you could have spa treatments too? Let me know what you think, as I'm collecting details and may have this one planned for the third or fourth weekend in October. I'm visiting Tofino in the next two weeks and will have more details.

Well, Spring break has been in full swing for my children this week!!! Uuuuughhhh, there are not enough things to do in a day to keep my three kidlets amused! I think I'll load them up with chocolate on the weekend and leave them with my unsuspecting husband!
Okay, enough of my evil plans....... I promised to draw a name from everyone who guessed correctly where the "CRAWL" pics I posted were taken. "jostamps" is the winner with her guesses as follows:
Scrapbook Room
She Runs With Scissors
Scrapbook Central
So, if you'll send me your mailing address Jo, I'll mail out your prize. I'll post a pic of it before I send it out so everyone else can see what they missed!
Okay, so next quiz. Which of the 7 stores we visited did I "NOT" take pictures at? This should be an easy one........but that's because I have the pics!
Finally, I hope each of you have a wonderful Easter long weekend filled with lots of chocolate!

"Twenty minutes............."
If you are tired of hearing that, then you must have enjoyed our Island Scrapbook CRAWL this past Saturday, March 8th!
If you've never heard a grown woman yell "Twenty minutes....." at you several times while you were shopping on a Saturday, then you must have missed the bus the rest of us were on!
Here are a few pictures you may have seen, or maybe not. Can you name the stores these three pictures were taken at? I'll give you a prize if you can!
I'll draw one name from all who guess correctly, by Monday, March 17th. Check back for the winner and subsequent contests and FUN!
