I am currently in Hillsboro, Oregon dealing with some Family issues & nothing from the store is shipping right now. I put it on the main page on Sunday when I left, but am now adding another note of this page. Please be aware of this when you place an order. I will post when I return home & shipping has returned to normal.

I will be out of town for 10 days & shipping will be left up to my husband & father-in-law while I am gone. So, shipping may be a day or two longer than normal. Then again the last few times I’ve been gone they’ve done a great job & orders went out the next day just like they normally do. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

So, stock up on the great sales that I have going on right now. The less that I have to pack the better……

I love that feeling when you can pay off a bill or buy something that you’ve wanted. We took divided it this year. We paid bills with half of the tax return & then we are buying things that we need/want.

I can’t wait to get all those new scrapbooking/rubber stamping supplies in my hot little hands. I’ve been plotting what I am going to buy for 2 months now…..

What is it that you’ve been waiting for??? Is it in my store??? You better go check now while my huge sale is going….

I am in the process of moving & I’m tired. I haven’t even begun to start with the contents of the store. So, I decided that I would have a big sale instead. Everyone wins. You get killer prices & I get less I have to pack up & move. LOL

& it has nothing to do with scrapbooking. LOL

Erick has just started going into work at 4 am on Wednesdays & getting off at noon. I love having him home in the middle of the day. Today he got a good dose of what I do. He got the pleasure of boxing up my preorders. I had about 7 orders that needed to be boxed up & I thought it would give him a good chance to see what I normally do. LOL These were pretty good sized orders. Not great big, but not really small either. As I type this he is finishing up his last box. He has been cussing this box up one side & down the other. I am hoping that maybe now when I am frazzeled & frustrated at the end of the day he will have a little more understanding as to why I am that way. LOL One could only hope.

So, from now on I am just going to start enjoying the fact that my husband is home in the middle of the day. Maybe I’ll actually get to scrapbook or stamp something every once in a while too.

I hope that everyone gives Kathy a warm welcome. Kathy comes to us from Florida. We will be adding her profile & lots of her artwork very soon. So, be on the look out for it. Welcome Kathy, I can’t wait to see all the fun projects that you create for us.

I’m still taking applications for Design Team Members. I’ve loved everyone’s artwork that has submitted already. So, keep those submissions coming in. I will make a choice by the end of the month or the beginning of next month.

I just got in more Making Memories, Queen & Company & We R Memory Keepers. So, be on the look out for all of those new products.

I already got all of the Queen & Company into the store & go check it out ‘cuz it’s all on sale for the entire month of October.

I seriously think that we skipped Fall & went straight to Winter where I live. I am not kidding when I say that on Friday afternoon in the far most NorthEastern corner of California it snowed like crazy. I actually think I’ve only seen it snow like that 2 or 3 other times since I’ve lived here. It was too warm for any of it to stick, but it was great to see it while it was flying.

I used to have a love/hate type of thing happening when it came to Fall. I hated it because it meant that I had to go back to school & most likely the start of the rainy weather. I loved it because I love the smell of Fall in the air on the way home from school. The smell of all of the wood stoves burning, the crunchy sound of all the leaves I stepped on. It also meant that Halloween was around the corner. I loved seeing all of the little kids all dressed up & going to the pumpkin patch. It meant that Thanksgiving was coming & even more important once we hit that Thanksgiving point it meant that Christmas break was right around the corner. Oh, to think so simple minded as I once did. LOL

I hope that you all are enjoying all that fall has to offer. Remember to take the camera with you everywhere as you never know when that perfect fall moment may hit.

Happy Fall Everybody - Lala
