HOLA!!!

Welcome back all Spring Breakers!!!!  My family was able to visit Cancun, Mexico for the second time and had a very relaxing and warm week.  Thanks to United Airlines I had two very smooth flights and actually fly out right when it starting snowing on Friday morning.  Timing is EVERYTHING!!!

Now, time to scrap those vacation pictures.  It's always my favorite part of the vacation :0)

It was very slow at the store this week and we are gearing up for the busy school time.  Everyone in a rush to get their scrapbooks done for the ever-popular memory table at graduation parties.  I expect to be very very busy since I have a high school and grade school graduate.

I am getting alittle disappointment and confused to know if anyone is actually reading this blog.  I try to write in it as often as possible but have NEVER received a comment.  Is ANYONE reading?  If so, can you let me know so that I'm not writing in vain.  I'd greatly appreciate it.  If you have comments or suggestions about the store, we would love some feedback.
 
Thanks a bunch and have a great week.

Happy Scrappin'

Calling Wisconsin Customers

We are trying to schedule an all-day scrap in Pleasant Prairie or Kenosha.  We've looked at many hotels and banquet halls.  They are all okay but not anything really great.  I was hoping someone from Wisconsin might have a location that you might think is excellent.  If you know of any place that would work great for us please give us some suggetions.  We are shooting for the second or third Saturday in April so we have to get crackin!!  Thanks in advance for your input.  

I hope everyone is enjoying this little bit of a break in the weather.  At least the gloves, hats and scrafs aren't totally necessary.  Now, I'm ready to dump the big winter coats :0)

Is anyone listening?

I'm hoping that people are reading our blog but without any comments, I'm just  guessing you are out there :0)    We've been quite slow this week and I'm presuming it is because everyone is getting ready for the "big" spring break.  I think everyone is looking forward to time off from this weather and cabin fever.  If you are not going away for spring break, we will be open all week.  Take a day off and come in and work on your albums.  We always have someone there willing to help you out.   If you are going to Disney for spring break, we are definitely the store for you.  We have received some really different overlays that make your scrapping easy and different.  Stock up now before they are all gone.  We've already reordered some that sold out right away including an adorable Spiderman overlay that the detail was incredible.  Hopefully we'll be getting that order in before spring break.  If not, it will be shortly after.  

Good luck to all the kids participating in spring sports.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate with any outside games, meets or matchs.  My daughter runs track and oh boy that April 1st outside meet will be brutal if the weather doesn't take a major turn.  Luckily we have three indoor meets before that.  Don't forget we carry products for most unique sports like track, lacrosse and golf to name a few.   

Have a great week and Happy Scrappin'

Warm Weather is Coming!!!

So far the outlook is good for next week.  Let's everyone hope for lots and lots of sun for next week.  Just wanted to let you know that Nancy is running an ATC card technique class tomorrow, Saturday, March 8th from 11-1pm.  There are only two openings right now so if you are interested in taking this class call the store right away at 847-599-1292.  The cards are very fun and use lots of different techniques.  ATC's are the hottest new trend in the card making industry.  If you haven't participated in any of the clubs, jams or trading yet, you are missing an awesome good time.  Call us if you have any questions regarding this new wave of card making. 

Spring sports are in full swing now and we have stocked up on all our sports embellishments and papers.  We are also working on some new "school" products and are ready for anyone to begin that high school or middle school graduation scrapbook.  If you haven't been in lately, come by and check out some of the new products.  Buzz on by the Bee!!!!

Have a great weekend and Happy Scrappin'

Happy Wednesday


Good morning and happy Wednesday.  Spring break seems right around the corner.  Hopefully everyone will have at least alittle get away and take a break from the hustle and bustle of life.  We are planning on stocking up on our vacation products as well as all our school stuff.Our new 12x12 vacation overlays are pretty cool.  So check them out when you come in.  Remember, we are always available to help you with your scrapping.  Anytime during the day as long as we don't have a class, we'll make room for anyone that wants to scrap and get that little extra help.  Prayers and thoughts today go to Ellen.  Get better soon.  

If you have any suggestions or comments, please let us know.  We try everyday to make it easier and more fun to scrap those memories but we can also use different ideas.   Making our customers happy is number one.

Happy Scrappin'

Hello Sun!!!!!

Thanks to everyone that participated in our Leap Year Sale.  Look for the 29% off on the 29th again in four years :0)  Things were really buzzing at the Bee yesterday.  Great customers having fun working on their ATC Cards, people scrappin' and lots of chit chat.  We admit, we have some of the BEST customers at the Bee!!!!  We received some awesome 12x12 page overlays this week which include a really cool Batman overlay, lots of Disney overlays and some vacation ones that are just out of this world.  These are definitely going to go fast so stop by this week and check them out.  We've already sold out of the Spiderman overlay and are selling the Easter ones like crazy.  We also received just yesterday some Libertyville Wildcat and Warren Blue Devil charms.  The are unbelievable.  Not only will they be great on pages to give them that extra personalized look but I'm thinking graduation cards, invitations and what a GREAT idea to use on your garter or flowers as a prom keepsake.  These will definitely go fast so ask to see them when you stop by.  This source is also working on Carmel, Grayslake North and Central charms so we can't wait to get those.  

What a beautiful day finally.  Although, I'm reorganizing my scrap room in my basement so I don't think I'll see much of the day today.  Everyone have a great week.

Happy Scrappin'
