This newsflash is mainly about our Fall Fling but of course at Stamplicity there is always something to talk about.
Take note that our store will be closed Good Friday the 6th, Easter Sunday of course and I will take a well needed additional day and will be closed Monday the 9th.
We now have a Bo Bunny paper line in the store called “Country Garden” and it is truly beautiful along with their embellishments. Apparently, Bo Bunny has an online class on an album that we have the paper for, so although we were going to bring this out on our next quarter we know people will want this line now due to the on-line class. Come in and check out this line.
Brenda has a new set of classes that are now posted with pictures on our site..... it’s under “programs”. I hope you’re checking my blog daily, I’m doing it my way and I’ve had alot of positive comments. You can get to it right from my site www.stamplicity.com. After you read the blog keep up-to -date with the other sections, new products, gallery etc. That’s it for news. Now I want to let everyone know about...

We are changing things a bit this year! They are as follows:
We will NOT be bringing in an out of town teacher this year. Brenda will be teaching all the classes in our workshop at the store. If anyone has taken classes from Brenda then you know this is a smart thing to do. I have some ladies that don’t even know what she’s teaching and have already signed up!

twice throughout the weekend.
